Grubs in Backs of Cattle.

Grubs in cattle are caused by the
gadfly depositing its eggs on the backs
of cattle, and the young larvae, after
issuing from the egg, bores its way
through the animals skin and remains
lodged in the cellular tissue until il
attains maturity. The grub may be de
tected by swelling Of the skin of the
animal. The swelling should be
squeezed. which will cause the larvae
to be ejectel. If it is not easily re.
moved, a small opening should be mads
in the skin with sharp-pointed knife
and the larvae may then be extracted
with q curved needle.

For fever patients or those on liquid

made as follows: Soak q teaspoonfu.
of Grape-Nuts in a glass Of water for
an hour, strain and serve with the
beaten white of an egg and a spoonful
Of fruit juice or flavoring. This af-
fords great deal Of nourishment that
even the weakest stomach can assimil-
ate without any distress.
MY huband is a physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders it
many times for his patients.
Personally l regard dish of Grape
Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the
ideal breakfast for anyone-well or
sick" Name given by Postum Co, Bat

In any cause of stomach trouble,

Thunder Storms and sour Milk.

The primary cause of sour milk is
the growth of certain bacteria that are
always very numerous in the air and
cannot be kept out of the milk. These
are most abundant during damp, heavy
weather, which usually accompanies
thunder storms: as such weather is par
tIcularly favorable to their develop
ment. Hence, the popular notion that
thunder storms make milk sour.

Watch for Seed Authorizations.

The work of different experiment sta
tons has shown that large number Of
foreign seeds are contained in clover
and alfalfa seed, including the dods
ders, which are SO destructive to alfal-
ia, and a large number Of bad weed
pests like the narrow plantain, wild
mustard and host of new weeds.
One impure sample of last years sup
ply contained thirty-two species Of for
eign seeds, including both species Of
dodder, the plantains. many common
weeds, three species of Western weeds
that are new in Ohio and as many
European weeds that have been here
tofore unknown in this State. At least
a dozen new weeds have been intro
duced into Ohio in alfalfa seed during
half as many years.
While this is unacceptable it is still
more so to get only black medick (yel-
low trefoil) plants as many have Gcne,
where supposed alfalfa seed was sewn.
In these times of high-priced seeds
there is temptation to adulterate with
cheap seeds like the black medick. etc,
which have very slight value as forage
plants with us there is like disp0si-
ton to offer seeds with many weed
seeds, at low prices. Both these dam
gers are real. Intending purchasers Of
such seeds will do we'll to be assured Of

Shipping Hay to Dealers.


During the last two years q number
OF rogues in different sections Of the
country have been offering considera-
Bile advance on the market price of hay
and thousands OF tons have been ship
ped to these people for which the pro
Queer received little or no return. With
hay, as with other articles OF farm
produce, it is usually best to sell it as
near home as possible. In every farm
ing center there are reliable dealers
who will pay a fair price for such pro
ducts and pay spot cash for them. True
they sell them at an advance, but it is
almost impossible for the grower tc
reach these outside sources Of demand
hence he can better afford to let the
local dealer make a dollar or two than
he can to take any chances in shipping
himself, and especially to people OF
whom he knows nothing. The writer
yearly sells his surplus hay to a local
liveryman and gets the cash on deliy-
cry. Opportunities offer to bale it and
ship to the city at an advance on the
local price, but we have figured that
our labor, time and element of risk il
the latter proposition is not warranted
by the higher price, so we 'let well
