GOOD BYE FLIES.

A machine warranted to trap 10000
flies an hour has been invented by r.
E. Harvard Of Kansas City. 1t consists
OF a wheel designed on the order OF
the wheel of a paddle steamer. One
of the critics OF the machine described
1t as a treadmin operated by the fly to
its own destruction. The wheel is so
delicately adjusted that IT revolves
with the weight OF a hair-and a single
black fly sends it a spinning.
Harvard has made long and patient
study of the fly, and he says the pad
dies on his wheel offer a resting place
which the ordinary house fly simply
can't resist. His theory was proved by
practice, for flies seemed to prefer the
wheel to the several shining bald
heads in the examining party.
Flies alighted on the paddles and be-
fore they knew where they were at the
wheel had spun around and dropped
them into a wire cage. From the cage
there was no escape-and Harvard
kept the machine at work until a pint
of flies had been gathered. The takings
meant clean harvest from two butch
er shops and delicatessen store. When
the demonstration was at an end Ha-
ward detached the cage. dipped 1t into
gasoline-and snuffed out the lives OF
all his black, misunderstanding pris-
oners.

sons, and as a result. farmers have not
made anything like the profits they
realized from the two preceding crops.
On the other hand. however, it can
scarcely be true, as some claim. that
the crop has been sold very close to
the cost reproduction. 1t is true that
provisions, flour and grain were high,
adding something to the cost of the
crop, but on the other hand, labor was
comparatively plentiful. and the
weather was ideal. greatly reducing
The cost Of gathering and marketing
the crop. Then. again, the yield was
a record breaker. so that taken alto
gether the crop must have netted a
fair profit
That the last crop sold as low as It
did was not altogether due to the size
OF the yield. because the figures show
that 1t has been absorbed by consum-

ers at an unprecedented rate. TIE
mine trouble has been that there has
prevailed an almost complete absence
of speculation, which in all former
years has helped tae farmer to carry
the crop and has competed actively
with the consumer and spinner, thus
creating a higher range of values dur.
ing the period Of active marketing
tian could be possible with consumers
and spinners having the market all to
themse yes. Despite their boasts of
being able to hold the crops until they
secure the prices desired, the farm
ers are always compelled by the neces-
stiles to sell more rapidly than spin
ners can normally buy, With no specu,
lation to compete with the spinner,
farmers must either carry their own
burdens or sacrifice their crops as
they have done during the past year.
