 T am surprised and startled, as q physi- cian,'' said pr. Henry Clay Barr of Port land, Ore, that campaign has been in- augurated here for the extermination of the dangerous, dsease-breeding house fly, in which the children of the com munity are to be the principal factors.
 ''The effort to rid any community of the fly is commendable. and if you can accomplish what you have started out to do. make Washington f1yless by swatting the fly, as I understand the campaign provides, you will ave accomplished something unknown to the medical pro- fession and experts in sanitation, who have given the subject long years of study and practical experience.
 There is but one way to extermiaate the fy-remove the cause. Sanitation strictly applied in business and domestic channels is the only remedy. cleani- ness is an enemy to the fly. Disregard to sanitation, lack of drainage, and exposure of garbage and other filth encourage the breeding of these dangerous insects, which transmit disease to human beings, espe- cially children, and persons physically weak. The. fly, under favorable conoi- tons of filth reproduce his species rap idly-beyond the comprehension of those not familiar with the facts.
 Every fly is a dangerous agent tn the spreading of disease. The insect becomes more or less a disease breeder and con veyor.''

Poultry Pickings.

Eggs should be graded and the small
and ill shaped used for cooking pur-
poses. None but the brightest and best
should be placed upon the market or
used for incubation.
Pigeons are becoming more popular
and game birds are getting scarce.
Pigeons require very little attention
when preparations are made for thel.
SQUAD raising is profitable when fol-
lowed intelligently Why not try a
few pigeons?
Great care is necessary in collecting
eggs intended for incubation. The
poultryman should always know the
parents of the offspring. and for this
reason a record should be kept of both
hens and cockerel. This is the, only
way to breed good fowls.
Beginners at poultry keeping tend to
overfeed their chickens during the win
ter-too much grain and too little AMI
NAL food and green food. Fowls re-
ouire each of these three kinds of food
all the year round in order to keep in
vigorous health, and If they are over
fed or underfed with either one there
is apt to be a loss in vitality that shows
itself In diminished egg production

Orchard and Garden.

Thin fruit trees if they need it; this
is a better paying method than prop
ping branches.
Placing a small heap of rich stable
manure around the base of each tree
in the young orchard will prove to be
a little time and labor well spent.
1t is a fine plan to have the materi-
ais always on hand for making Dor
deaux mixture and then 70 mix up
spray and use it when you have a
spare hour.
If trees need water pull the soil
away from around the roots. give each
tree a pailful and after it soaks in
replace the earth. No use to apply
water to the surface of the ground
around the tree.
Ii YOU observe that the shoots on
your t"ees grow only five or six inches
every year you may know that the
soil needs to be enriched. The growth
ought to be from fifteen to thirty
inches every season.
Tent caterpillars are bad pests when
they get on some of your pet trees.
watch out for them and when seen
Durn them with a torch. Kerosene
soaked rag wrapped around the end
of a pole will do for torch.
Cultivate the spring set strawberry
bed regularly and often. Keep the
soil loose and mellow and let no weeds
get a foothold, After enough runners
have rooted cut off surplus ones the
same as if. they were weeds.
If your apple trees are affected with
scab be sure to spray with the boiled
lime sulphur mixture just before the
buds burst. and always before rain.
because the spores Of blight can be
carried by the wind to other trees.
Place a two pound paper bag over
each bunch of grapes when the fruit
is the size Of small shot. This pro-
tects the grapes from insect and bird
injury and insures extra choice clus-
tiers. Fasten the mouth of the bag
close about each stem with a pin OF
wire or string.
When picking blackberries get them
out of the sun as soon as possible or
they'll turn red in spots and not be

crates and then into a cool cellar until
time for shipping or selling. Fill the

packages. If you want a fancy price

BOOKSHELF FOR MOTHER.

Any Boy Handy at carpenterins Can
Do Il and Wait For Christmas.
In almost every household there is
some one who is handy with tools.
says the American Agriculturist.
To prove its assertion it prints the
following story by James B. Duncan
and a picture that shows the result of
painstaking effort.
A bookcase large enough to hold 100
books is an adornment to any house
hold, and the yOungster who is clever
enough to gather in some nice bits of
pine wood and then tackle the tool
box in the barn will be sure to have
something extra from mother in his
Christmas stocking.
Here are the rules to follow:
In the use of all edge tools, if you
would avoid cracks and splitting, be
patient and do not attempt to remove
wood too rapidly, although the tools
should be always kept with perfectly
sharp edges. There is much marking
out to do, and as this must be accu-

his Broadway literary confreres that
he felt particularly elated over an or
der he had just received from Henry
w. Savage, the theatrical producer,
for the libretto of musical comedy.
The play was produced few months
later. During the long period of re
hearsals so much of Bangs material
was eliminated and so much other ma
terial inserted in its stead that when
the curtain went up on the first night
not more than half dozen of the
original lines remained.
About a week later friend, meet
ing Bangs, asked him if he was writ
ing any more plays for Savage.
YES" replied Bangs. "Only an

of paper and told him to go as far as
he liked" -Irvin Cobb In New York
