Commenting upon views recently adj

mares In the fall, John T. Lewis of
Rockingham county, Va, who claims
practical experience extending back
over twenty years, says: / do not think
much greater errors In horse breeding
can be committed. Nothing looks and
sounds more reasonable than the fol-
lowing: Breed mares to foal In the
fall, when the busy season is over and
after flies have disappeared and the
mare is at rest and has nothing to do
except nurse the colt and the mare is
not overheated and the colt is not TAX
ing hot milk" etc.

gaining living and an education for

How to Rid the House of Insects

A kind of black beetle gets into old
houses from time to time. To get rid
of them mix up some sugar and plas-
ter of paris and place it in little heaps
about the floor and shelves, wherever
the insects congregate, says the Spo-
kane Spokesman Review. In a little
while they disappear. This also is an
excellent way to get rid of cock
reaches and other bugs. Tarred paper
is another remedy for bugs of all
kinds since they object to the odor.
If one does not object to sticky fly
paper, 1t will be found excellent for
ants and fieas and other small insects
besides flies. Sprinkle a little sugar
over the paper to make it more entic-
ing and burn the sheet as soon as 1t is
fairly filed A sheet of this sticky fly
paper placed in a nest of fieas or in a
place where they seem to gather will
catch number of them. Place piece
of raw meat in the middle of the fly
paper, and the feas will be attracted
by it. AS fast as the paper is full burn
it and put fresh sheet in the same
place.

ment. Join the HERALD reading

Labor Needs Faith In Itself.
Labor unions in the years agont

will find that no people are more ready
to acknowledge those mistakes than
the members of these same unions
Because we have made mistakes in the

those same mistakes i'll the future
and l believe they will not be made
Labor needs more abiding faith il

makes for the progression of its cause
We must trust each other and trust
the people all over the world to hell

we will win in the end. When this
