r1iracIe Wheat.

We have for sale several bushels of
this new red winter wheat. One half
bushel is amply sufficient to seed an
entire acre, owing to its great tendency
to stool out. As soon as this wonderful
new wheat is better known we believe
it will replace all other winter wheat as
it does not only require much less seed
an acre, but will yield from 20 to 100
per cent. more than ordinary varieties.

How to Make a FIyIess City

AAOV OO 4AohO eA ny AOoO OAOJ
 Cleveland, Ohio, is to be class ed and catalogued as a fiy-less town. In the campain inaugu- rated for the extermination of the fly, four steps are outlined:
 1. To educate the people as to the deadly nature of the fly.
 2. To kill off all winter flies those hidden about the houses, awaiting their season of forage.
 8. To do away with all breed ing places for flies.
 4. To trap all flies that hap pen to escape.
 As the first step addresses on the subject are being made be- fore the various women's clubs and in the schools of the city. Circulars and booklets will be distributed among the children of the schools. to be carried by them to their homes; posters and illustrated bulletins will be placed in the schools, in the streets cars and other public places, carrying the sermon of fly reform.
 The extermination of the win ter fly is a problem for the ln- dividual housekeeper. Don't let one fly escape you, hunt for them and kill them now, for the win ter fly is the most dangerous of the race, the winter fly is the mother of all next summers terrible throng.
 To do away with the fly-breed- ing places is merely a matter of cleanliness. for the fly is a scavenger, a lover of filth and an habitual follower after all that is unclean and unwholesome. Clean houses, gardens and yardsH clean streets and alleyways dis courage the fly in in breeding proclivities, and therefore the doctrine of cleanliness is to be preached by the anti-fly crusad- CTS, along with the sermons on on the deadly character of the insect.
 And carrying out the fourth step, all the house furnishing stores in the city will be asked to carry in stock and push the sale of fly traps, marvellous little wire screen houses to be baited with milk, wherein a fly once en- trapped is doomed. With the campaign of education will be given complete instructions for the use of the fly trap, which may be placed on porches of win dow sills, on garbage pails-any- where that flies are likely to con- gregate; but always on the out side. Catch the fly outside of the house, before It has a chance to come in and spread it's poison and disease.
 This city is to be divided into districts, and each district divid- ed again into clans and clubs and from each center, small of large, bands will reach out, graphing with the subject in whatever way seems best adapted to that individual section.
 Death to the fly is to be the battle cry; it is to be fight of man against his enemy the fly, and of the fly against man.
 If you buy the Efner fly traps which are sold by S. D. Smith you will help to make Holbrook flVleSS.

HOW TO PRESERVE EGGS.

Use pure water that has been
thoroughly boiled and then cooled. To
each 10 quarts of water add / quart
of water glass. Pack the eggs in a
jar and pour solution over them, COW
ering we'll.
Keep eggs in a cool, dark place.
A dry, cool cellar is a good place.
If the eggs are kept in too warm
place the silicate is deposited and
the eggs are not properly protected.
Do not wash the eggs before packing,
for by so doing you injure their keep
ing quality, probably by dissolving
the mucilaginous coating on the out
side of the shell.
For packing use only perfectly
fresh eggs, for stale eggs will not
be saved and may prove harmful to
the others.
Water-glass is a very cheap pro-
duct that can usually be procured al
not to exceed so cents per gallon, and
one gallon would make enough solu.
ton to preserve so dozen eggs, so that
the cost of material for this emthod
would only be about one cent per doz-
en-. Water glass is sodium and potas-
SUM silicate, sodium silicate being
usually the cheaper If wooden kegs
or barrels are to be used in when
to pack the eggs, they should first be
thoroughly scalded with boiling water
to sweeten and purify them-The Pro-

Economy is always thought of by
