Swat the fly!
You should have done 1t long ago,
but it isn't too late yet The fly which
you saw on April 10 and tenderly per-
mitted to live II female, now has
nearly 200 children. Her descendants
will number 7.6OO,Ooo,oOO on the 18th
day of September unless you get busy
Immediately. And not one of these
pesky little insects will have one-half
the reverence for you that you had
for the ancestor on April TO-
Swat the fly!
The fly, say the scientists, Is not
only the most prolific OF insects; he is
one Of the most dangerous. He is
worse than an untamed rattlesnake on
day, and doesn't stop for Sundays
or holidays. His principal business IS
the spreading of disease. and he dts
tributes pestiience with a lavish hand.
Worst Of all. he's horribly prolific.
A chart designed by DR.. A. L. Muir
ray, fly expert and official of the health
department at Washington, D. c.,
shows that from one female fly in a
single season about eight billion flies
may descend, or enough 10 extend
completely around the earth at the
equator, with a surplus of 500 miles.
Again We repeat, with added en-
phasis, swat the fly.
1t takes countless numbers of swats
to make the least impression on the
billions of flies that infest the country.
But If you start early you will avoid
the rush. Killing one fy today is the
same as killing several millions of
them a little later in the season.

Such a Thing as,

"Strenuosity" has come to be a fad.

"Strenuosity" is very good in a
proper way, but it must not be per-

the good old doctrine Of REST"
This reborn doctrine of strenuous
living. carried to extreme, can become
one OF the most disastrous of modern
influences.

particular age. Far back in the early
days of mans occupancy of this ter

How to Build a Bungalow.

There is probably nobody in this
world who hasn't at some period in his
career desired to own a bungalow. A
bungalow is a long, low. rakiSh look
ing house with a porch in front and an
ash can behind. You get into 1t by
going on your hands and knees and
you crawl out backward for there gen.
orally isn't room inside to turn around
without upsetting two or three hun
dred dollars worth of furniture. The
roof is so close to the floor that when
you get into a bungalow you feel like
a porcine portion of a ham sandwich.
One way to build a bungalow is to
follow the advice of the magazines.
According to them you can build
bungalow fer any price from $4.5e up
to 100000 and you can go a little
higher than the last named figure II

OF course, there's nothin' much to do

The only chance you get to rest

You get up when the faintest streak

You do the chores and then you go
And hoe the taters and the corn.
When you get simply tired out
And sick of every doggone chore
You kin do all the chores again
And then go out and hoe some more.
You milk a dozen cows or so
And then you pillow and cultivate,
Or pick potato bugs awhile
To rest yourself, that's simply great
OF course, when ii rains good and hard
You get, from work, a short respite.
You simply hang around the barn
And mend the harness until night.

ANSWER.-AH the different varie-

produced by crossing different breeds
and recrossing until the desired results
of color of plumage, legs, shape of
comb, etc, are obtained. You can read
ly imagine how different was the cross
ing done in the different varieties to
produce the color desired.
The first and general aim in produc-
ing a new breed of any kind is to get
the color to come as near the ideal as
possible. Almost everything else is
thrown 10 the wind in the great ef-
fort. After color has been reasonably
well established, then other points are
considered. such as perfecting comb,
