Those Pestering,FIi

What are you going to do about the
fly pest this season? Going to let
them worry your horses and COWS?
They worry the horse, the horse frets
oft flesh and you feed him heavily to
keep him up in flesh or good working
condition.
The flies worry the COWS. Instead
Of staying out on the grass eating so
as to make milk they seek the shade
and brush if possible and spend hours
in fighting flies. Can you afford to
have this condition? Surely not.
Some folks believe that the COWS
skin is so tough and thick that fly
bite doesn't hurt. Then why does
the COW continually thrash around
with head and tail and seek mud and
water. or a dark barn so as to be rid
of flies? Is it natural for a COW in
hy time to suffer hunger rather than
be pestered with flies if flies don t
hurt? The illustration we have given
is one taken from the page of observa
ton made by anyone who has handled
dairy stock.
Take the horse. 1t costs more than
extra feed so far as the team is con-
cerned. Every time horse stops to
turn and get fly off his back he is
wasting time. Every time a horse
turns to knock fly off his back or
sides he is putting the strain of the
work upon the wrong part of the
shoulder and all this twisting helps
make and keep sore shoulders. Then
when the tail gets over the line you
may jerk the horse, you get out of
patience and some horses get even by
running away.
What are you going to do about it?
There are fly nets and not horse
blankets and fly repellants. Can you
afford to lose dollas and save pennies?
A good fly repellent is better than a
horse net or hot horse blanket and
much cheaper in the end too. There
are good many fly killers that have
been prepared looking to their efficacy
in protecting stocks from the attacks
of flies. We would advise our readers
to study this important question OF
how best to keep down the fly pests.
Our advice would be to use fly re-
pellants. Ask your dealer about
them. Get small atomizer or spray
ing outfit and use this protector that
has come to stay and prove a blessing
to stOckmen.

The conflict which is going on,
not only in Tennessee, bu t

the forces OF greed and avarice

the human heart the conflicting
sentiments OF right and wrong.

In Tennessee it is regrelabIe to

that the lawless element is very

tthe parties had 'doped' the child
to stunt it's growth, and to make
it appear unwell. In q short
"lead" to the story Thursday,

that the couple had arrived here
and that they had been wa rned

der>oi the city authorities. Yes

DR.. Thomas stated that the cou-
pie denied that they had 'doped'
the child and that they said no
one had warned them MOTTO beg
here. The physician said that
the couple showed him a pre-
scrlption from DR.. Falson, OF

which the child suffered, but hat
they did not have sufficient mon

was informed by the parents that
the child had been suffering for
some time with bowel tronbln
and that death was probably
hastened by lack OF proper nour-

said thai ths picture was one to

idea being to get the very best

the sur,ey is being completed

leaving Beaver Creek post office

C0FFINS ON THE YANG-TSE
River Floods Invade Burial
Places-Pestilence Follows.

Peking. Sept s.-Only mea gre reports have
reached tho capital from the walled towns
i'm the region OF the Yang-tse Valley, where
the floods. which arc now subsiding have
hemmed in the missionaries and other for
eigners The report received by the Amer
lean mission at Wu-hu, estimating that one
hundred thousand persons have been
drowned by the water overlooking the
banks OF the Yang-tse River, has not yet
been verified but every account confirms
the great extent OF the disaster
Travellers arriving by steamboat at Han
kow from the UPPER reaches of the river
report that many collins of the huge
Chinese type were encountered floating In
the Yang-tse. This indicates that the
waters are penetrating into the burial
places and robbing the graves OF former
years.
From Chang-teh. in the Province OF Hu.
nan, comes word that the receding water
is being followed by pestilence. The Chang
teh district contains hardly survivor who
has not been affected by the scourge, and
many are dying.
II is reported from Shanghai that the
famine riots in Changzeh are spreading.
and that the American Baptist chapel. near
Quinsan. has been sacked by a band OF
marauders from Suchau. With large areas
still under water the half starved populace
is desperate. In the Shanghai market the
visible supply Of rice will last about ten
days
