Good Fly Remedy.

The following Is recommended as a good homemade fly remedy: Resin, 111 pounds; laundry soap, two cakes; fish oil. half pint; enough water to make three gallons. Dissolve the resin in a solution of soap and water by heating. add the fish oil and the rest of the water. Apply with brush. If to be used as a spray, add half pint of kerosene. This mixture will cost seven to eight cents per gallon and may be used on COWS or calves. One-half pint of this mixture is con- sidered enough for one application for a COW; a calf. of course, would re- quire considerably less. Two or three applications a week will be suffi cient until the outer ends of the hair be- come coated with resin. After that, retouch those parts where resin has rubbed of.

RAPID MARKET FOR POULTRY
Quicker Bird Can Be Brought to Mar ketable Size. Greater Profit and
 Fewer Losses.

always push my young stock along as rapidly as possible until marketed, or until brought to maturity, says a writer in the Baltimore American. This 1t pays to do, even when I must buy feed and at high price. The quicker a bird can be brought to mar ketable size or to the productive stage, the greater the profit, to say nothingl of quicker returns and shortened risk Rapid growth is always cheapest and quick returns most satisfactory. There. are always fewer losses in flock kept, growing vigorously than in one all lowed to drag, and a shorter period in which chicks are a possible prey to hawks, rats and other enemies.
 My young stock is never stinted. After it is removed from the brooder continue to feed regularly and as generously as before. Feed for a con- siderable time consists largely of coarsely ground grains or fresh, sweet milk. For this like corn and wheat principally at first. Later I add other grains, often emitting the wheat or feeding it whole by itself. Rye. al- though chicks will not eat it whole, Is excellent cracked with other grains. Barley, also peas in small quantities, Is good. As chicks become larger whole grains are gradually substituted for cracked. Rye, If fed whole, Is cooked. In this shape chicks are greedy for 1t, and 1t furnishes excel lent food. All summer like to feed little soft food now and then, either ground feed, shorts or bran, wet with milk or warm water. Grit keep con- stantly before my flock. also pure water.

REALITY OF BOREDOM.
From a Pretty Signing It Has Be-
 come Ugly and OpPressing.

From Pretty signing II haS Dc-
 come Ugly and OpPressing.
 Boredom is not what it used to be Its principal difference is that it is so much more SO. For a long time it did not exist at all. Then it made it's entrance in the world in the shape of Vapors. Quite fiimsy things they were, more or less artificially produced-in fact affected by a lot of people who did not feel them at all, but took them up because they were novel, becoming, and suited the reigning mode in clothes. But once boredom had made good its entrance, how it did develop stubborn qualitiesI With a deter imitation that it is shocking to look back upon it refused to go out of fashion, the New York Sun says. The instant people showed any signs of growing tired of it the willy parasite changed it's form and tricked people into keeping it on. From vapors it became the blues, and Sir Richard Burton wrote a book about it. When it had obtained this success there was naturally no keeping it in its place. It grew appallingly. Its size is now  unknown, but that just shows how big 1t is. From a pretty signing indul- gence harbored only by the smartest people, it has become heavy, real, ugly, clogging up every ones path, and such is its present insidious subtlety that one is nowadays bored with bore dom. It does not care by what round about way you put it so that you are undeniably bothered by it. You let it in under guises that even wary you could not penetrate. Some times you think it is your liver and sometimes you think it is your soul, and just as you find yourself paying serious attention to it you notice something a shade familiar about it. and 10 and beholdl it is nothing but that tiresome intruder, boredom. It is very unlikely that we will ever get rid of it. Born of nothing, 1t has by our encoura cement taken on a horrid reality. It will have to be listed, but whether as an eighth deadly sin or a malady with attendant cures yet re- mains to be seen.

GREAT VALUE OF DAIRY SIRE
Important That Calf Should Have Good Parentage on Both Sides
 Pure Breed Are Costly.
(By R. B. ROe)

Raising the heifer calves of good, high-producing COWS, is a great funda- mental requisite for the best and easiest improvement of dairy herd.
 But those calves will take their qualities from both parents, and 1t is equally important that each calf should have good parentage on the male side. But an inspection of many dairy herds will show that compara- lively little attention Is paid to the quality of the sire.
 I have too often seen herds in which the heifer calves were raised for future cows, but in which the bulls used were miserable little scrubs, and weddings. obtained by simply saving a grade calf from the herd.
 And of many other sires, fairly good as individuals, nothing is known of the actual milk production of their female ancestors.
 There are as I view 1t two princi- pie reasons for this. One is that un- der the custom of selling the calves for veal it does not make much diff ference about their breeding. But as this custom must be changed by sue cessful dairymen and the best heifer calves raised for COWS, 1t becomes nec- essary to provide good sires.
 But another great reason is that the pure-bred sire costs more money. Underlying both these Is the funda- mental reason that many dairymen do not yet realize the wonderful i'm provement that can be wrought by a good head of the herd

FASCINATION OF THE ARCTIC
Sentiment of Travel and Peril Than Appeals to All Who Have Rich,
 Red Blood.

The sentiment of arctic travel is closely similar to that of Alpine climb Ing. Man, with supreme audacity, by sheer strength of will and of muscle, forces himself into natures reserved territory, where she shows herself in her severest and most awesome moods, where no mere animal dares to tread, where no other living thing has ventured. That foreseeing, skill ful creature, man, with well-knit muscles and well-chosen companions, well supplied with special foods and well-devised ropes and tents, and other means of defying memorable na- ture, alone of all living creatures, traverses this region of desolation unharmed. Unabashed. he plunges into wilderness of magnificent lifeless- nessi He does not succumbi He re- turns to tell the story to his fellow men! Even the Alpine climber who
 ~st scales one of the hitherto un- trodden peaks of Switzerland receives honor and admiration from those to whom he relates his adventure. How much more, naturally enough, is the lSICSl, dAOuullHS lO eQIQuSldSns with which we hear the explorer or sSad his book, telling of days and weeks, even of months, of struggle with the prodigious obstacles of ice and snow, in the endeavor to reach the remote polar regions, north ar eouth. The reduction of the weight of food carried to an exact minimum. the similar diminutive provision of tent and protective covering against 1ntolerable cold, the daily struggle of the monotonous march over measure less snow fields. the fact that zach days progress reduces the probability of ever returning, excite wonder, pity, wen horror, while tLe determination, foresight, and well-balanced calcula- tion of means to end and of the di- viding line between pluck and fool fill us with admiration and Respect for the leader.

When Truth Counted.

How many girls have you ever kissed before?" asked the beautiful girl roguishly, and yet with just the faintest suspicion in the innocent glance she cast up at him.
 -. The young man released his arm and, taking a notebook from his pock- ct, gravely consulted 1t.
 "One hundred and twenty-six," he re piled, "and, making mark. you make the one hundred and twenty-seventh." 1"
 Whereupon the exquisite creature laughed merrily and sank back into the spot under his right arm. For, of course, she knew he was joking But the funny part is that he was telling her the exact truth. He had amused himself by keeping a record of them.

Keep the hoe going in dry weather and you will not need the watering pot often.
 The wheel hoe will save many a backache and do the work of three hand hoes.

 Do not plant short rows. but let them run the whole length of the garden if need be-why not?
