treasury of wealth, its brainy states

navy, its immense horde of high.
brows, against the poor little house
by! That's the lineup In bitter war
Of determination scheduled to set the
nation by the ears and enlist the cour-
ageous support Of every man, woman
and child in this broad land. The
dnal knell Of the house fly has been
sounded and the battle has just be-
gun. Catch 'em and kill 'em; show
no quarter"-that Is the war cry of the
army Of determination that is to put
forth every effort to rid the land of
the Musca Domestica, the polite name
by which the house fly should be ad-
dressed by strangers.
Until the scientists got busy with
their investigations the house fly was
considered merely as a pestiferous in
sect, designed by the Creator of all
things merely to take its bath in the
sweet cream and maple strip, annoy
the late morning sleeper, skate about
with abandon on the polished surface
of shiny baldheads and practise the
Morse telegraph code ON the cleanest
Of windows.
Long suffering housewives since
time began were the only really active
enemies of the seemingly Insignificant
little fly, and they alone and unaided
applied the imprecations and dish
cloths vigorously against the nuisance.
But after the scientists got onto the
Job the fight against the insect began
to assume proportions of magnitude.
That little insect which the average
citizen was wont to regard merely as
a domestic pest is now branded as the
most dangerous creature on earth. The
house fly has been publicly indicted as
a murderer Of the human race, the

these are due not to any ingenious ap-

certain extent, an athlete. At the
outset these young fellows are put

straighten the body and develop the

daily will soon produce beneficial re-
suits in the most stopped forms.

help In this direction. The dress coat
is tight. very tight. The shoulders are
heavily padded in order to give them
square effect. The chest Is made
thick, so that there will be no danger
of wrinkling. All this for the sake of
looks; comfort has no place In the

TURNING WASTE
INTO VALUE
No System OF Farming Has Ever
Been Successful Which Does
Not Include Keeping
Of Live Stock.

By J. q. PAYNE, Colorado Agricultural
Coilege.)
The history of the settlement Of
Western Kansas and Western Ne
braska shows that the people who
kept mich cows were able to hold
their claims and make themselves
homes, while many Of their neighbors
who refused to be in partnership with
the COW failed. This has been found
true of the early settlers of Colorado
and other states. Some people are
able to get along without cows, but
the chances are against the person
who makes the attempt.
1t seems to be one Of the foundation
principles of agriculture that no sys-
tenn can hong be- followed at a profit
which does not make provision for re-
turning to the land In some form the
elements Of fertility taken from II by
tho crops. So no system of farming
has ever been successful for any great
length of time in any climate which
does not include the keeping of live
stock as one of its important features.

represented. 1t was an interesting
menagerie, assure you. II made a
jolly half hour. Then there was an
animal "hunt." All over the lawn, the
porches and on the lower floor of the
large house animal crackers had been
hidden. There were cunning little
baskets given 60 each one to hold the
spoils; basket and crackers to be kept
and besides there was prize of those
cunning little animals to be found at
japanese stores. A toy animal also
made a unique prize and a "Noah's
ark" Best of all the fun was mould
ing animals out of clay, each child
being protected by large towel tied
around the neck and In around the
waist. After that a good elder sister
told animal stories, while the refresh.
ments were being made ready, There
was creamed chicken, wee sand
wiches, ice cream with animal-shaped
cookies. Then they had game
played Just like Stage coach, only they
all had the names of animals and
turned around when their names were
called. When II came time to go
home the mother came out and said:
