Farm Notes.

Now is the season to fight the horn fly to
the best advantage. This troublesome pest
has already made its appearance and the
farmer is looking about for means OF relief
to the tortured animal. Secretary Mckeen
sent out circulars last season which con-
tanned good advice and which will be found
very valuable for reference this year. As
to preventive applications, Prof. Riley and
Mr.. Howard, in special bulletin on the
horn fly, issued by the department of agri-
culture, says that almost any greasy sub
stance will keep the flies away for sew
eral days. A number of experiments were
tried in the field, with the result that train
oil alone, and train-oil with little sulphur
or carbolic acid added, will keep the flies
away for from five to six days, while with
small proportion of carbolic acid it will
have healing effect upon sores which may
have formed. Train-oil should not cost
more than so to IS cents per gallon, and
gallon will annoint number of animals.
Common axle grease, costing 10 cents per
box, will answer nearly as well, and this
substance has been extensively and success
fully used. They also recommend spraying
the animals with kerosene emulsion to kill
the flies.
Another effective remedy is to dissolve
one-half pound of common hard soap in
one gallon of boiling water, and while still
hot add two gallons Of fish oil, which is
thoroughly mixed with the water by churn-
ing the whole solution together for four or
five minutes. 1t may be thoroughly mixed
by forcing the liquid through large syr-
inge or force pump for the same length of
time. After being thoroughly agitated so
as to have the appearance of milk, dilute,
using Is to 20 parts of water to every one
part of the solution.

Ieprosy In the Middle Ages.

In the middle ages leprosy extended over
the whole of Europe. Nearly every city in
England, France and Germany had its
hospital for such cases, and Italy suffered
terribly from the disease. The maximum
was reached in 1900, when there were 49,
600 leper houses in Europe. The patients
were communicated by papal bulls. ="
They were cut off rs "uncloan" from in
tercourse of all sorts, and only in this way
was the plague gradually suppressed. 1t
disappeared as an epidemic in Europe in
the sixteenth century. A writer in the
New York Times says: 1t is still found ev-
erywhere in the orient particularly among
the fellahs of Egypt and India, in China
and Japan, in all the coast lands of Africa,
on Madagascar Mauritius, St Helena and
Madeira, in Mexico and Central and South
America Such sufferers are found in Eu-
rope at present, as, for example, in Norway,
where there We're 1900 lepers in 1850 out
of population of $50, 600, though this
YVES decrease from ESQ in 1864. They
are also found on the Greek islands of
Samos and Crete and to less degree in
Italy, France, Spain, Portugal and the
Russian provinces, and single cases are
also occasionally found in middle Europe.

Cntimely Wrinkles.

Wise precaution and proper personal
care will do more to Danish wrinkles than
all the cream and lotion in the world.
Given the cause, which is always worry

to avoid them. Wrinkles come like the
creases in carelessly folded, garment.
The first or second time the wrinkles are
made they shake out, but oft repeated they
can't be ironed into lasting smoothness.
Browns being wrinkles, the often knot

Nature Not Always the Best Planter.

Although not generally recognized in
botanical and horticultural works, Nee
ham Monthly says it is simply fact that
nature does not always place plants in the
localities best suited to their development.
Swamp trees for instance-trccs which
grow partly in water-grow great deal
better, more vigorously and every way APP
parently more happily when they can find
themselves in dry ground, for specimens
of naples, willows, sweet gumsand other
supposed swamp trees are always found in
comparatively dry ground. What is known
as the Bermuda lily is another case in
point. This is native of Japan, really
Lilium lOngiflorum, but nowhere does it
grow in such luxuriance rs in the islands
of Bermuda, where it was accidentally in
PRODUCED or escaped from cultivation a
great many years ago So great is its lux
uriance that it has been recognized rs a
distinct variety from the Japan plant and
is known in cultivation as Lilium har-
risii, having been first made known to cui-
tivators about 10 years ago Many other
Illustrations might be given to show that
nature does not always arrange that plants
should naturally be found in places the
best suited to their growth.
