If cattle in spring are thin in flesh,
with rough, staring coat, it is a pretty
sure sign that lice are troubling them.
1t is only on thin cattle that lice can
long continue to live. Grease of any
kind kills them, as it closes the pores
through which they breathe. It is
much better to. rub lard or fat of any
kind on the necks of cattle and around
the head than to apply large amounts
of kerosene, which has usually the
effect of taking off the hair. If kero-
sene oil is used, make it into an emul,
sion, with ten times it's bulk of water,
and using enough soap to make the oil
and water thoroughly mix. This closes
the pores and is just as effective as
stronger doses.

8 That the State Alliance put the
shoe Factory to work, or place the

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.
Adopted at the Regular Meeting Of Unity
Alliance, No. $50, April sd, 1897.

Adopted at the Regular Meeting Of Unity
Alliance, No. 382, April sd, 1897.
WHEREAS, In the providence of God,
guardianship is promised in his Word
and attested Though all the dispense
ton of it's past history, we have been
called upon to yield to the Divine be-
hest, submitting humbly and reverent,
ly to an affection that is emphasized
specially by the absence Of our greatly
esteemed and beloved brother and Vice
President, J. @. Ferguson, who died
March 25bh, 1897, in his 73rd year.
The deceased was a gallant and brave
soldier, and has been for more than 25
years a Ruling Elder in the Presbyte-
rian Church. He was devoted to the
church and to church work, and a
strong Supporter of the. Sunday school
and a faithful and efficient officer. He
was a close student of the Bible. He
could say with David, ''Thy word have
I hid in my heart that I might not sin
against thee" But few men have lived
as useful and honorable a life, and q
sorrowiDg community feel that they
have suffered an irreparable loss; and
whereas, by his death we have lost a
devoted and faithful member of our
Order, therefore be it
Resolved, That we will cherish the
memory of the deceased and strive to
emulate his example and initiate his
noble devotion and self sacrifice to the
cause.
2. That we tender our heartfelt SYM
pathy to the bereaved family, and
would commend them to the love and
grace of an .ellwise God who is too good
to do wrong and too wise to err.
3. That a copy of these resolutions
be spread upon our minutes and a copy
sent to his family. Also one to THE
PROGRESSIVE FARMER for publication.

EXPLANATIONS CONTINUED.

-
Following closely upon the explana-
ton made last week, we have the COM
plant given below. coming from a Sub
Alliance that has been long dead, but
just recently reorganiz9d. This unrea-
sonable complaint, like most Others
comes from an Alliance that does little
or no business with the Agency. Here
it is:
"DEAR s1R:-Your delay in forward
ing lard to my order of a week ago is
very perplexing, not that I care for the
25c. additional you ask, but the delay:
You promised me prompt attention
several days ago and then on the 26Sn
asked more and promised prompt at
tention again. You should have sent
bill to me after shipping lard n L
would not have objected to paying the
advance in price, or you could have
drawn on me through our depot agent,
or postmaster, or some one in our place.
Now you ship me the lard at once and
mail me bill with credit for amount
paid, accompanied with bill OF lading
and hold the amount I have certificate
for in the Business Agency fund for So
curity and l will send you any differ
ence that may be due you and then l
will be assured of the prompt atten-
ton you promise 80 freely, or return
the money. On next order will try to
send a little extra to pay difference in
the fuctuation that might occur-but
never again delay shipping for such a
pittance when you could have secured
yourself so easy"
Well, this brother ordered lard Tin
tins" at tierce prices, limiting the
price to 49,. We receipted him for his
money and promised. prompt atten-
ton" We forwarded order prompt,
but limited our shipping house to 44;.
OF course the house declined to ship
and wrote us. We advised the brother
and inasmuch as he had made q mis-.
take and lard had also advanced we
surrendered our commissions and
quoted him NET promising prompt at
t~ention." The above is his reply. Now
the explanation:
1st. The brother may be as good as
gold, but the Agency don't know it. 1t
is not the business of the Agency to
take risks.
2nd. He limited the price. If he had
had sufficient to his credit, or a bond
with us, we would not have gone be-
yond his limitation. We know from
experience that in such cases some
times a brother kicks" and not only
declines to pay the difference, but
quits the agency and goes to preferring
charges.
The amount (25c) is too small to
draw for through depot agent; we know
of no such thing as drawing through
the postofice, and we know no bank,
or individual in his town (and il we
did we would not draw for $500
4th. He did not send any certificate
of deposit, and if he had it would not
be available. We do not ever know
that he holds a certificate. That part
of the Agency machinery is in the
hands of our Trustee.
5.h. The bond arrangement has been
provided for those who desire credit
and to avoid just the difficulty into
which the brother has fallen.
9Th. The Agency has rules and the
brethren must conform to them.
7Gh. Harshness may be omitted from
correspondence with this Office.
This explanation is given to The Pro
GREssIvE FARMER that other brethren
may take notice.

It is said that the King used the crisis in the affairs of his country to specu- late in Greek and Turkish bonds, with the result that h:s Majesty cleared over 30, 900, 900 francs by the operation. This matter would well serve for a parliamentary investiga- ton, and, if true, the King should be deposed.
