Breeding OF Flies Stopped BY
BOraX.

Borax is the newly discovered preventive
for the deadly typhoid fly. Specialists
in the Department of Agricultural have an
nounced that ordinary borax, sprinkled
daily on manure, will effectively prevent
the breeding of the insects. Similarly, the
same substance applied to garbage, refuse,
damp floors. and crevices in stables, cellars
or markets will prevent fly eggs from hatch
ing Borax will not kill the adult fly nor
prevent it from laying eggs, but its thorough
use will prevent any further breeding
The department has been conducting ex-
perments at the Arlington farm in Virginia
and at New Orleans, in which the nvesti-
gators found that so of pound of borax
or rs Of pound of calcined colemante
(crude calcium borate), would kill the mag
COTS and prevent the development of prac-
tically all of the flies ordinarily breeding
in eight bushels of horse manure. This was
proved by placing manure in cages and
comparing the results from piles treated
with borax and from untreated piles The
borax, it was found, destroyed the fly eggs
and maeeOts in the manure and prevented
their growth in flies.
In the case Of garbage cans or refuse
piles, two ounces of b0rax or calcined cole
mantle, costing from s cents a pound up
ward, according to the quantity purchased.
will effectually prevent flies from develop
ing
In treating stable deposits, the borax
should be sprinkled around the outer edge
OF the piles, as fly maggots congregate
there.
Garbage and refuse should be sprinkled
generally with the preventive.

Nearly Buried In A Bank OF Wheat

Last Saturday afternoon Johnny King
don, bright little eleven-year-old son of
Mr.. Carey Kingdom, a citizen of Rockville,
! was rescued from position in which his
life was about to be taken. On the day
mentioned he was playing in the upper
story Of the -four mill of Hickerson Broth
ers, near the B. and o. Railroad Station, in
this town, and got into bin containing
1900 bushels of wheat. The wheat was
being conveyed to lower floor of the mill
through chute. In its rapid flow it was
fast taking him to the mouth of the chute
and burying him. One of the several COM
panions with him saw the danger Johnny
was in and ran to the room below and told
one of the HickersOn Brothers of his friends
terrible predicament. From fright his words
were almost unintelligible, but Mr. Kicker
son instinctively grasped the situation at
once and stopped the flow of the wheat
The mill force Immediately went to the
bin and found the child with wheat cover
ing his body up to his chin. His hands
were above the wheat. kept there fighting
the grain away from his face in an effort
to save his life
1t was found impossible to pull him out
Of the bank of wheat until large part of
it was let out upon the lower floor of the
mill through hole opened at the side of
the chute. When taken out, it was dis
covered that his entire body was peppered
with the impress of the grains of wheat,
which caused much soreness, but otherwise
he was not injured.
All during the trying ordeal he acted
with the courage of a little man. never
losing his nerve in the time preparations
were being made to release him and save
his life. During this time water was given
to him to drink to refresh him and words
of consolation we're offered him, which he
Z accepted with patience.

The Power To Re-assess Land Dis
puted.

George Earle, of Philadelphia, Pa. the
owner of a number of tracts of land in this
county. has petitioned. through his coun-
sci, Talbot & Prettyman. the Circuit Court
here to restore the valuation of his land to
former assessment of $55. $3.50 from an
assessment of $72.525. which was made
on the LIST of June, 1914.
The petitioner alleges that the said re-
assessment Of his property is illegal in that
the County Commissioners of said county
have no power or authority TO select the
property Of one person and arbitrarily in
crease the assessment thereon.
That the said assessment is erroneous
and unequal by reason of an overvaua-
ton Of his said properties. and in that the
assessment has been made by higher
proportion of valuation than other real and
personal property on the same road by the
same officers.
The petitioner. therefore. prays your
HonOrs to appoint day for the hearing of
this appeal in accordance with the pro-
visions of Section 10. of Article 81, Of the
Annotated Code Of Public General Laws of
this State.
