Cattle grubs, where intestatiou is heavy, seriously Interfere with gains In fattening cattle and reduce the flow Of milk in dairy cattle. Cases demonstrat- ing this fact are numerous each spring during the "grubby" season. On a Wayne eounty farm ulnety-one grubs were extracted from the back of et fifteen -mouths -old Hereford heifer. The beffer bou1d have weighed 600 to 750 poundat this age, with average care and feed. Instead it 'Was weilk and emaciated anti weighed only about' 325 pounds. The fly (flypoderma Lineata) that cau.ses this grub is known as the ox warble tiy, the heel fly, or the ox bot The eggs are deposited upou the hairs during the spring and summer, and the eternal on licking them carries tile eggs or larvae into its mouth. The young maggot passes into the gullet From the gullet it migrates to the back, where it causes a lump or swelling no- ticed in late winter or early spring.

While classed as a beef breed, many families of pure bred Shorthorn cows have possessed In a high degree both milk and beef producing properties. Certain strains of Shorthorns are famous for their milk producing Ottalities. The bull shown is a fine type of the Shorthorn breed. tile grub emerges from the back of the animal through a small hole previously used tor breathiug purposes. Falling to the ground and burrowing in it the grub enters the papal state, evhich cov- ers a period of from three to six weeks. 'At the end of thnt period a two -winged fly emerges. Thus the complete life bistory covers almost a year. The most effective means ot combat- ing the cattle grubs in to squeeze them out and destroy them. This method has been tested by several co-operative dairymen's assoclatione in Denmark ane resulted in a substantial reduction of the number of grubs. The French 'Association for Grub Eradication rec: ommends the removal of the grub by means of pressure with thumb and fingere when the warble is "ripe." 'Wleen the warble Is smaller And flaw to the touch, the grub may be extracted by inserting a pair of small foreepa into ett6 opening of the turner. If the epening is too smell to permit the re- imoval of the grub with the forceps, it may be enlarged by a =ea Incision veith a sharp knife. Strong pressure will then force the grub feet through this artificial opening. Caro should be exeicised to destroy all grubs that are removed, otherwise they may pain Into the pupal stage and ultimetely die, velop into adult flies.

The cave men fought with their knotty fists, And clubs that were tipped with stone: With heads held high, and with fearless eye, They guarded their rights alone. They hacked at beasts that were huge and fierce, That prowled where their stores were piled, And they died at last, and their spirits passed, While the War God looked—and smiled. Long ages passed, and the archers came, With arrows and pliant bows; They crouched in lines 'neath the moun- tain pines, And slew as the reaper mows; And all the spears of the armored knights Flushed bright as a shining sea; And people died and their spirits eried, While the War God laughed in glee. They fight today, and the bullets new Are shaped like a needle fine; And cannons roar on the ocean shore. While blood flows red like wine. The airships flutter against the sun, To shoot at the frightened earth, And birdmen die in the heavy sky, While the War God shouts in his mirth. — Margaret E.

To the Editor:— A Commission on Lunacy in Califor- nia recently reported that sixty per cent. of those in the Asylums are there because of alcohol—that is five thous- and maniacs made so by drink. Dr. Dawson, Medical Superintendent of the Sonoma State Home for feeble- minded, last month told the Alameda County Social Workers Club that there are over 9000 feebleminded folk in California and said that alcohol is the greatest known cause of feehle•mind- edness, When addressing the National Asso- ciation at Indianapolis a few weeks age Dr. Alderman, a New York Specialist in nervous and mental diseases said, "Alcohol creates more insanity than all other causes combined." The most serious point is that alco- holic drinks often start insanity in an otherwise h'ealthy family, and that it becomes hereditary running down through several generations. We must all be mad if we do not grapple with this dreadful evil. Ff. Arnott, M.B, 1VI.C.P.S.

She wrote "I have a son fifteen years of age who has tuberculosis in ono lung. I have not the means to give him the care he should have. The doctors say that with proper care and attention there is every hope that he might fully recover, I would be very thankful if he could be admitted to ttto Muskoka Free Hospital if possible." Suppose that your son or your daughter were a consumptive. Suppose that he or ehe were pale and wasted and shaken by a hacking, strength -sapping cough.

Cheerfulness is just as catching as the blues, and does people a lot more of good. Worry and fretting never :tired any one of his troubl e or even made him feel any better. It isn't any use fretting when things go wrong—especially if one has done the besthe can. Help someone along the path of life and see how it makes your own burden grow lighter. The best way to deal with a pessimist is to set one's ownheart singing so loud- ly that it will drown out his doleful The greatest blessing that you can possess is not riches but a cheerful heart.

Winter says: "In a strict sense, real Russia cov- ers only a portion of tne more than 2,000,000 square miles that lie within the borders of the continent. This narrower definition would certainly eliminate Vinland, Poland, the Raltie provinces, Bessarabia and the Cauca- sus and probably a part of the land of the Don Cossacks, the Crimea and the sections bordering on the Arctic ocean and thelower Volga. In other words, the real Russia has developed within this narrower section, and whatever of Russian characteristics appear in the eliminated sections have simply been imposed by the conquerors upon a people alien by Meth and language. "The actual visible influence of Tol- stoy on Russia seems not to bare been great. Be was beloved and reverenc, ed by many, but no party claims or has ever claimed him as a leader. The higher classes rejected him because ot his opposition to all established gov- ernuient; the peasantry were repelled by his diatribes against religion; the revolutionists and anarchists repudiat- ed his .teaching because he had no definite plan to offer.
