OAlRYlNG DURING FLY TIME
Two Most Needsd Things Are sprayes

Is Also Beneficial.
(By NJ. A. covERpELL.l

A good sprayer ard reliable fly re
pellent will pay for themselves about
twenty times during the fly season, to
say nothing of the comfort afforded
the animals and the satisfaction you
will derive from milking quiet COW.
If you don't feel like investing In a
spraying outfit, have your wife make
you long, cool blanket out of cheese
cloth or some other light material and
spread it over the cow while milking.
This, however, is beneficial at milk
ing time only. The one thing that will
prevent the flies from sucking the life
blood and consequently the milk from
the best of your herd, is to spray, and
spray thoroughly while you are at it..
See that the cows have some sort
of good shade They simply cannot
stand out in the scorching heat all day
and do as we'll All they would if pro
stected from the midday sun.
If natural shade is not available, 1t
will take you but an hour or so to set
some tall posts and make a satisfac-
tory shade out of small brush, old
straw or boards. The cows must have
shade.
Too many farmers let their cows
rustic water from foul sloughs or from
a tank filed with water warm enough
to wash dishes In
This is not merely a question of
comfort and satisfaction to the COWS.
Neither is 1t necessary simply to add
to your dairy products.
Sanitation demands that the princi-
pal element entering into the compo-
sition of milk be strictly pure-free
from every yestige of disease or filth.

ever cursed him with the brand OF
Traitor" George Monk tried to do
practically the same thing. He sue
ceeded. He was loaded down with
wealth and honors and hailed as a
Liberator.
When Monk was lad of seventeen
lin 1625-he broke the laws Of Eng
land and had to fee for refuge to the
continent He had not much money,
but he had boundless ambition, not
enough conscience to trouble him, and
a veritable genius for military affairs.
All this was splendid equipment for
soldier of fortune And soldier OF
fortune he became. He went to the
wars in Spain, and later in the Neither
lands where he quickly won high rep
utation as crafty and fearless war
rior
Monk fell foul of the Dutch author
tiles in 1888 and went back to Eng
land BY this time his early lawlessness
was forgotten and he was made q
colonel in the armies of King Charles
l. A short time afterward he helped
to crush an uprising, first In Scotland
then in Ireland, and by his stern con
duct there won still further the ap-
prevail of Charles.

and civil war began. Monk was sus-

tested his love for the king and his
adherence for the Parliamentary
party that Charles freed him and rein

captured by the parliament troops and
cast into prison. There he remained
for three years.

Protect From Flies.

Remember that it takes as much
energy and feed to fight flies as it
does to grow a calf. Then will it not
pay to cut out the flies by giving the
calves access to a dark stable or shed,

You may rest assured that they will
grow and lay on flesh twice as fast
from now on if they are afforded a
means of thus protecting themselves
