more avowed candidates for that posi-

TO GET RID OF FLIES.
State University Experts
Send Out Bulletin to Aid
Cattle Raisers.
MANY PANACEAs FOR FLIES

The annoyance of animals by flies
lis one of the unpleasant features of
the summer time for cattlemen, es-
Tecially dairymen. Men are continu-
ally seeking information and means
for owe coming this annoyance. To
accomplish this, however, is one of
the perplexing problems for which no
entirely satisfactory solution has
been found. Darkening the stables
by covering the windows with gunny
sacks or dark colored P and B paper,
and at the same time providing for
the circulation of plenty of fresh air,
affords relief to cattle from flies while
in the barn at milking time. On ex-
tremely hot days where pastures are
not provided with good shade, it I'M
doubtedly would be best to put the
cows into the barn several hours prior
to milking time, which not only pro-
tects them from flies, but also from
the hot sun.
Temporary relief from flies is to be
found in applying fly repellants which
are offered on the market, and which
cost in the neighborhood of ST. per
gallon. The following list of fly re-
pellants, together with the companies
manufacturing them,. has been used
more or less at the university farm.

The immense amount Of work which
has been done on the city cemetery,
since the association took charge is
beginning to show and the grounds
were never in such good condition as
they are at present. Enough has now
been accomplished to convince all lot
owners that the plan of having an asso-
citation take charge is success and it
is expected that every lot owner will
contribute his share to the permanent
maintenance fund of the association.
With the parking of the tract to the
north recently acquired by the city
the surroundings will be more in keep
ing with the improved appearance
of the cemetery itself and when the
work now under way is completed Ke-
nosha will have one of the most beau
tiful cemeteries in the country.
