HOW TO PREVENT FLIES.
First Essential Is the Removal of
Filth and Trash, Their Natural
Breeding Ground.

One of the greatest nuisances about
farm is the pest of flies in the sum-
mer and fall. It would be hard to
estimate the loss occasioned by them
every year about the barns, dairy and
feed-lots. No cow can do herself JUS
tice where she is forced to keep up
continued battle with swarm of
flies from daylight until dark. Wor-
rying at the flies is more wearing on
team than hard labor. The cause
OF pastured and fattening stock los
ing flesh in the summer is the flies.
AS with most evils, the best cure is
prevention. To prevent the pest one
must remove their breeding ground,
which is the filth and trash about the
premises. 1t is the case on most
farms that the manure-heaps are al
lowed to accumulate during the sum-
mer and the yards to go unclaimed.
These furnish the best of breeding
places for the flies. Swill barrels and
buckets, too, are never washed out,
but are allowed to sour and become
incrusted with dirt, another source
OF flies. In feeding the hogs and
calves milk and slop are spilled about
the troughs and barrels day after
day. The ground thus treated soon
becomes hotbed for the eggs, which
will hatch and feed there. Open
closets and uncovered drains are an
other source, as is any place where
there is decayed matter or filth for
the maggots to thrive upon after
Matching. Flies are far more of a
local pest than most people imagine.
A farmhouse whose grounds are kept
clean and whose back yard is free
from refuse, slops. etc., will be little
troubled With flies. Stock kept in a
clean stable or lot will be less troubled
than the animals of the untidy, shift
less farmer. Cleanliness and flies do
not thrive together.-J. L. Irwin, in
Farm and Fireside.

pressed. I retired quietly, ponder.
ing as went.
"a couple of weeks later ran
across Perkins. / mentioned seeing
him at dinner, and asked him casual
ly if he had come into a fortune.
Then Perkins told me a narrowing
hard-luclS story, how he had happened
on to this solid, elderly party who
was evidently millionaire, how he
had worked at him for three weeks,
spent $5S.45 in lunches and dinners,
finally written him for $50,000-no
less-and had him thrown down on
his medical examination.
81 offered Perkins my sympathy,
and after that tried to forget the
Soper episode, until one day young
Peasley, our newest solicitor, took
me aside. Peasley had been acting
peculiarly. Ordinarily he was one of
those not unattractive youths who
share their hopes and fears with such
of their acquaintances as can be got
to listen. But lately he had affected
a portentous demeanor that had puz-
zled, the rest of the Office.
"'Old man. he said, quivering with
suppressed excitement, if I can raise
$50 I've got a chance of making a
years salary before Saturday.
"It appeared that he'd picked up an
elderly gentleman, who was evident
ly millionaire, and who had prac-
tically decided to have Peasley write
him for no less than $4,000. But, of
course, such deal as that required
time and tact. For instance, on sew
eral occasions Peasley had taken him
to luncheon or dinner. Of course, you
couldn't ask millionaire out to any
quick lunch, and Peasley had been
able to raise about $45 so far.
"When Peasley paused for breath I
advised his withdrawing from the
transaction where it stood.
"'Why, what's the matter with it?''
asked Peasley, bristling.
"'First, your elderly friends got
Bright's disease said; second, be-
lieve he's nice, smooth gormandiz-
ing old fake
"Peasley got up and regarded me
sternly. He thought it was funny
that I could identify his man on such
a meager description, and suggested
turning over to me the fakes address
after he had withdrawn from the
case.
"a fortnight later he came around
and apologized handsomely. He men

Too Frank.

A clothing merchant in lower Broadway
had big lot of clothes that he had bought
at bargain, and by putting price of SIS
on each he thought they would sell rapidly,
for they were Of exceptionally good value
for that money. He put one of the suits on a
sign about its neck which one of his smart
clerks had painted on piece of cardboard.
This announced the price. Then he and his
clerks prepared to do rushing business.
The hours passed and no one came in to buy
the suits. This caused the merchant to won
der, and at length he determined to go out
and take a look at the sample suit and sign.
This is what he found on the sign: "These
ans passing by saw the sign and smiled at its
frankness. The merchant tore down the
sign from the suit, and the clerk who had de-
signed it started out to look for another job.

Sale of Immature Calves.

A law that would prohibit the sale
of calves for food before they are
three months old would put an end
to bob" veal and lead to improve
ment of stock, for the reason that il
farmers were compelled to feed their
calves to the age of three months
they would then give some attention
to breeding in order to derive as
much as possible from the calves.
The scrub bull would soon become
useless under such a system, and the
farmers would find the change great
ly in their favor. Many of the infant
calves are sold when but three days
old and are then unfit for human

ESCORTS FOR GIRLS.
A Company Has Been Formed In Chi
caEo for the Purpose OF Pro-
viding Them.

Some South side girls have started
an association to furnish escorts for
women. Incorporation papers have
been drawn up and filed, says the
Chronicle.
AS to the name of the company the
young ladies are very sensitive, and
one would hardly dare hazard a
guess. The young ladies range in age
from II years to %, and the purpose
of their company is to supply an es-
cort at any time of day and as late
at night as responsibility will per
nit
The method to be employed is a
safe and practical one.
The first meeting was held in the
office of the well-known spa" of one
of the young misses on Jackson boule-
ward and Dearborn street last week.
One member consented to say: "We
are going to have an Office in prom
inent building in the neighborhood of
State and Washington streets, where
the elevators run all night, and will
employ boys who are from 16 to 20
years of age. They will be uniformed
in dark-blue cloth sack coat. The
trousers will be tight-ftting and have
stripe of white down the side seams
The coat will be single breasted, with
front like that of fatigue coat of
an army officer. The cap will be soft
blue, with visor running well around
like those the navy officers wear.
''We will subscribe enough money
to pay the expenses for three months
We will engage only good, bright
boys who have parents they have to
help support. We will start with ten
that we have already engaged. The
boys will be in charge of a wom-
an. There will be two women en-
ployed as overseers. One will be on
duty from seven a. m. until five p. M.
the other from five p. m. until mid
night.
"The women have been stenograph
ers and have been in similar bust
ness before The escorts will be for
the use of the members only. We have
10 members, and each member must
pay into the treasury of the company
for an escort at the rate of 25 cents
an hour and the car fare, and that
ought to put it on paying basis
There will be call boxes from ouI
houses to the Office"

DEHORNING CATTLE.
A Rack Especially Constructed for
the Purpose of Securely Holding
Mature Cattle.

In the work Of dehorning mature
cattle, it is essential that they be Sc
curely held. The best plan know of
is by means of rack, as illustrated,
and which l have used with hun
dreds of head of stock. For it's con-
struction, take two scantlings, a,
2x6 inches by feet. Bore three 1A-
inch holes through each piece, one in
middle and one at each end. Put
in three rounds, each 3 feet long,
which makes the main frame. Bolt
on six upright pieces, b, 2x4 inches
and feet high, one at middle, the
other two at ends, on each side. Nor

Long Rows Save Labor.

An exchange well illustrates the i'm
portance of long rows by telling OF {
western farmer who had plowed lano
100 rods wide and half-mile long. He
made three fields, each 33 rods wide ano
16O rods long. When planted in corr
he found that his man could cultivate il
the long way of the row in three days
while if going the other way there
was four days work. just one day
extra was spent in turning around al
the end three times as often.
