called.
1--WE see the wild asters and we see
the countless beautiful summer wild
flowers which grow all about. In fact,
we are here from the spring until late
In the autumn, when the weather is
beginning to get cold"
"Then," said the purple clover, 1--WE
are willing to take our winters sleep.
For we are satisfied that we have seen
n great deal of the year, as we have
when we have seen the spring, sum-
mer and autumn.
Its so beautiful TO watch the leaves
turn into such gorgeous colors. They
are red, orange, golden and crimson,
and we can look up at them and send
our sweetness through the air. so we
can let them know we think they are
lovely"

the purple clover. "For instance,
when we're around in the spring, let's
call ourselves Spring Flowers, and
when summer comes. let us change our
name to Summer Flowers. and now
that the autumn has come and the cold
days are fast coming nearer and near

Its a fine idea" said the pink clo-

"We will still let people call us the

wolves in Cattle.

The so-called wolves" that infest
the backs Of cattle are developed from
eggs that are laid by flies outside the
animals body. and carried into their
digestive tract by way of the mouth.
II Is EXTREMITY difficult to remove the
cause of this trouble. However, its
effects may be modified very much by
close attention to the development of
the enlargement in the back to see
that infection does not take place.
The use of mild coal-tar disinfect-
ant to the back Of the cattle in the
spring Of the year will do much to
prevent bad results. A disinfectant
may be injected into the hole leading
to the cavity housing the wolf" by
using a small oil can.

fraught with pleasant memories for

of her as one of earth's noble women,
one of discreet judgment, model
mother, sincere in her friendships,
charitable in judgment toward her

she was deyout and humble chris

she saw it. Briefly summed up,
