r;rc. The greatest lights in the wurld
OF pure japanese literature are bots

"Gcaji Moaogatari" and "MakU2aiIu

of comparative freedom and indcprud

ism contributed also to place women
in an inferior position and state of de

Many Americans assume that women
still occupy an inferior position in la
pan under the law. But this is not
true, During the last fifty years fc
male education has spread throughout
the country. Western jurisprudence
has superseded Chinese and a great
revolution has come over the social

THE COMMON FLY A DEADLY

Breeding Places Should Be Gotten Rid

T. B. SYMONS,
Maryland Agricultural College.

Now is the time to prevent the
house fly from appearing in large num-
bers this summer. Little can be done
by few persons in putting down this
nuisance, if some neglect to do their
part, for single pile of horse manure
allowed to stand in the open will fur
nish flies for the whole neighborhood
The greatest good, therefore, will re-
suit when all persons keeping stables
in the community have the manure
removed from the stables at least twice
week or keep the manure in a
screened portion Of the stable Too
much emphasis cannot be put upon
this method of avoiding human sick.
ness and suffering from the deadly dis
eases that the house fly carries.
Combating the pest in country dis
trtcts and around farmhouses is large
ly an individual one, and the presence
Of flies in large numbers or to a lin
tied extent will depend upon the sani-
tary conditions around the house and
barn. Aside from hauling out the
manure at regular intervals, all out
houses and similar places should be
protected from flies, as it is In this
manner that the fly assemblies the
germs Of disease and distributes them
to any exposed food. 1t cannot be
too strongly urged that all such places
be constructed as sanitary as possible
and disinfectants freely used.

]. +. METGZER.


Maryland Agricultural College
The successful school is that one in
which the teaching is in terms of the
child life. Doubtless the decline of the
rural school may be laid to the fact
that both the preparation Of the teach
er and many of the textbooks used
are foreign to the common things Of
the farm home and life. Teachers who
have come to the rural schools and
tried to teach the things they were
taught in the city schools have found
their work drudgery and the pupils
apparently dull and listless. Parents
and school officials excuse this def
cheney on the part of teachers by say
ing that they are from the city and
are not expected to be familiar with
country life.
What is needed and should be re-
quired of every rural teacher is either
experience or training which acquaints
them with the facts about farm crops.
soils, farm animals, sanitation. and the
preparation of foods, and the best
methods of presenting them in the
school. Our Agricultural College is
helping to solve this problem through
its summer training school for country
teachers, which opens for a six weeks
session June the 22nd.

1t should be known that hog cholera
serum is not a cure, but a preventa-

occur.
The cholera was so prevalent last

was greater than either the State

tories throughout the country could
supply and their output in some cases
was bought up and contracted for
months in advance. Many hog raisers

The tested serum supplied by the

cents per &C. or 10 cents for a 100
