air compressor at the Belmont mine,
the workings have been closed down

Of the compressor will have to be
rebuilt and the length of time the
mine is closed will depend upon the
length of time required for the ce-
ment to Get.
This will also cause a suspension
of operations in the Belmont shaft,
but when the repairs are completed
the work will be rushed along with
increased vigor.

of water-be great enough to
move all the loose soil, then the
deeply broken soil may wash

dency to wash terracing and an
abundance of humas in the soil
may be necessary to prevent
washing. but in such cases deep
ploughing will enable the lands
to withstand much heavier rain.
alls before they will begin wash
ing.
''Ploughing may aid the wealth
ering of the soil in two ways
by turning up fresh soil and ex
posing it freely to the air. rain
and frost, or by opening up the
soil so that the air and rain may
penetrate it freely. These are
important considerations at all
times, and in all sections, but in
our territory, where the effect of
frost action is small, the washing
during the winter on freshly
ploughed soils, may more than
counterbalance the beneficial eff
fects of the frost action.
Sandy soils should be plowed
about the same depth each year,
but a deep soil on sandy land is
as important, if not more so,
than on heavy soils. To break a
sandy soil seven inches, that has
been previously broken only four
inches, may do temporary harm,
if vegetable matter is not incorp-
GRATED with the freshly broken
sand. but deep soil is essential
to the highest fertility, and the
aim should always be to obtain
such condition"
The above coming from such
an author as DR.. Butler is worthy
of the consideration of every
farmer and we believe that he
knows what he Is saying and will
be borne out by every one who
has tried his recommendations or
suggestions.

HOW TO GET RID OF FLEAS AND
ANTS.
A Thorough Cleaning Up and Insect
Powders for the. Fleas. and Trap
Bats for the Ants.

Dear Aunt Mary: The prob
lem of exterminating fieas after
they have once become numerous
in houses and barns aud over the
surrounding ground is a very
difficult one. Before suggesting
a remedy. few words concern
ing the habits and development
of fieas may be of value to those
who have the pests to fight.
The adult fieas ordinarily lay
eggs among the hairs of cats and
dogs or other animals on which
they occur, but these eggs are
firmly attached. Consequently
they are dropped wherever the
animals range. The young feas
are slender, active white worms
that subsist on particles of animal
or vegetable matter occurring I'D
the dust or trash in the cracks
of the floors. and they may breed
in the soil underneath buildings
Or other places where they. are
protected. In other words, the.
young feas do not subslst on
blood. and, as it is in the young
stage that the feas are most sue
cessfully fought, we must remem-
Der where this stage may be
found.
In regard to remedies, the lib
eral use of fresh insect powder
on the floors of all rooms infested
with fleas, applying it just after
d thorough sweeping and clean
ing, will sometimes suffice to des-
troy the young. The cracks in
which the young are living should
also be treated with gasoline,
MOI ing the floor with hot suds
is an excellent treatment. In
rooms in which the floors are COW
cred with carpets or mating, it
is practically impossible to get
rid of fieas until these covers are
taken up and thoroughly cleaned,
and the floor treated as mention
ed above.
The infested animals may be
busted with fresh insect powder
which will cause the fleas to drop
off. Another treatment that is
of value is to wash the infested
animal with warm soapy wafer
AS fieas may be breeding in the
soil under the house and around
the buildings, the ground should
be thoroughly cleaned of all trash
aud sprinkled with air Stacked
lime. 1t takes thorough and per-
sisent work to exterminate f1eas
when they become numerous
The small black ants occurring
in houses usually come from nests
outside the building. These nests
should be located and destroyed.
The ants may be trapped in large
numbers by using sponges moist
ened with thin sugar syrup.
When covered with ants the
sponges should be dropped in
boiling water, freed of ants,
sweetened and replaced. Pieces
of meat scraps make excellent
bait, but should be placed on a
paper Or cardboard in order to be
removed readily without disturb
ing the ants. The batting method,
if kept up for some time. seems
to discourage the ants, but will
not be successful unless other
food is kept out of their reach.

DIED.

What shoch it was to our
community when the news was
conveyed of the sudden death
of Mrs. Andre5, Cummins, which
occurred Thus day morning, at
her home in Longview. Mrs.
Cummins arose early, attended
to her duties as usual, about nine
o'clock she was. stricken with
paralysis, and before a physician
arrived her spirit had taken it's
flight to the God who gave it.
Gods ways are often mysteri-
Gus and we realize this with sad
ness when a cheerful christian
and mother is snatched away
without moments warning.
She was tourn from the hearts
OF a loving family and a large
circle of friends were much en-
deared to her. Mrs. Cummins
was born Aug 10, 1856 and died
Dec. IA, 1909, and while we
mourn her loss, we know our
High Priest never makes mis-
takes; His judgements areealways
right. Thei funeral services
were conducted at Pleasant
Ridge, by Brother Wallace, in
presence of large family, ner
aged father and husband. seven
sons and five daughters. three
daughters-in-laws and a number
Of grand children being present,
besides other relatives and
friends. She was a devoted wife,
kind and induIgent mother, and
friend to all. None can mea-
sure the ways of God, none can
measure the unfathomable mys-
teries of the universe, yet we
may rest assured that the wis
dom and watchfulness of God
are infinitely superior to our own,
and the time will come when the
ways of Providence. will be com
pletely vindicated, when the sor-
est griefs which burden our
hearts here are really our sur
est safe guards. when it
will be seen that sorrow as well
as Joy. as successful work to-
gether for the good of them that
feel that they are only strans ers
and pilgrems here. May the
great Dispenser of JOY and sor.
row bind up the broken, severed
hearts of husband and children,
as only a kind omnipotent Faith
er can and may they form an an
broken family, where flowers ev
er bloom in perfect lovliness,
and may this father be able to
say, Lord here are we, and they
that thou hast given as.

Library and Lavatory for
Mrs. A.
In the Lexington Bdvertiser)

Mrs. A.
I'm the Lexington Bdvertiser)
: Mr.. Editor Have you ever
thought. has it ever occurred to
you that when Mrs. A. comes to
town to do half an hours shop.
ping. after. having driven several
miles In the dust and wind she
has no place to go to bathe her
face, brush her clothing and ar
range her hair hat before going
shoppingy Having finished her
shopping, she must wait proba-
bly, several hours. while Mr.. A.
finishes his business, and where
has she to wait unless she has
friends with whom to visit?
Drive to town through dust and
dirt. shop a few moments, stroll
around from store to store for
several hours with the dust and
dirt still on and the hat still
crooked and drive home thorugh
Qore dust aud dirt! Rather an
uninviting picture. is it not?
Do you wonder Mrs. A stays at
home and Mr.. A. mails an order
to Sears g. Roebuck? In my op
Union. this lack Of a sitting room
has more weight in causing wo-
men to order their goods and
household necessities from mail
order houses than any other
cause.
Now my understanding is, the
use of room in the court house
has been offered to the ladies. 1t
would cost very little, it seems
to me, to furnish it neatly and
attractively and supply it with
magazines. (you and l and others
have old ones that will do and
we can place our new ones there
as soon as We haYe finished them
so that when Mrs. A. comes to
town she can have lavatory and
mirror first TO brush up before
doing her shopping and then a
bright, cheerful, comfortable
room in which to rest. read, eat
lunch and visit with Mrs. B. and
Mrs. C. whom she may meet
there either by appointment, Or
otheowisa, until time 10 go nome.
With such a room at her dis
posaI, a trip to town would be a
pleasure instead of a task TO be
dreaded; ladies that now drive to
other towns would drive a little
further to come here for the sake
of such comforts, and LeXinston
would profit not only by the re-
duction in the mail order busi-
ness, but would have new busi-
ness coming in.
Then, too, a room of this kind
would be great convenience to
the ladies of Lexington.-might
become a good library.
La all city stores you will find
these conviences. Surely Lex
ington can maintain just one Ii
a fire can be kept only one Or two
days each week, advertise the
fact and let it be known that
those days are ''ladies' days
Is this too small a matter for
the Commercial Club or the mer-
chants to take up? The good
will such room will inspire to
ward the town will pay for the
room many times each year.
To do a good deed whenever
he can
Is good for bird or a beast or
a man.
Then why not town?
Respectfully
ELIZE9ETH.
