MONEY CAN Be MADE
FROM YEARl|NG MULE
COLTS. SAYS FARMER
IF BOUGHT NOW WHILE CHEAP
AND CARRIED FOR YEAR
OR TWO.
They ARE AWAY OFF this FALL
On Account of the Poor Demand for
Mules and the Bad Condition of
Many of Them Due to Drouth Dur
ing the Past Summer.

IF you were to ask me how
thought the farmer with some spare
money could double it in a years
time, | would tell you to buy Weanling
mule colts and grow them for the
next twelve MONTHS said one of the
leading farmers a few days ago.
Mule colts are cheaper now than
they have been in several years.
Good ones can be bought from $50 to
$50 per head. Tops, of course will
cost considerably more, but the av-
erage mare mule colt can be bought
this year a whole lot cheaper than in
the past. This is due partly to a
poor demand for them, and partly to
the fact that they are in such bad
condition.
It looks to me that bunch OF
money can be made by the farmers
who buy these colts cheap, grow them
through the winter and spring, and
then sell them next fall as coming
two year olds. If the war depression
Is not over at that time, they can be
carried over for another year.
Mules are sure to react and go
back to high prices as soon as the
cotton situation is relieved. When 1t
Is and it will be as soon as this Eu-
ropoan war is over, then the farmers
VINO nave bought yearling mules this
'2'O and have grown them are going
% can up a bunch of money"

Lame Back - Kidney Trouble

WASHINGTON, Sept 21.-"Non-

very long. when window screens
may be discarded. This is the view
of DR.. L. o. Howard. chief of the
Bureau of Entomology. and COM
mander-in-chief Of the army opposed
TO flies.
DR.. Howard has issued numerous
publications dealing with the fly. He
no longer calls the common house fly
by that name. but labels it the
typhoid fly" because" as he says,
scientific researches have shown
that it is a most dangerous creature
from the standpoint of disease
In suggesting remedies and preven-
tatives he says: "A careful screen
ing of windows and doors during the
summer months, with the supplement
tary use OF sticky fly papers, is a
preventative measure against house
flies known to everyone. There
seems to be little hope in the near
future of much relief by doing away
witl the breeding places. A single
stable in which a horse is kept will
supply house flies for an extended
neighborhood. People living in agri-
cultural communities will probably
never be rid of the pest, but in cities.

DR.. Howard insists that stables be
cared for. but he cautions all not to
overlook chicken yards, piggeries.
and, above all else. garbage recep-
tacles. Housewives can do much
toward lessening the number Of flies
by draining the garbage dry before
putting II in iron pals and fitting
the lid closely over the top. Children
in the household can add their mite
by using care in throwing fruit
peelings. candies, and other sweets
about their yards. The man of the
house can perform a great service to
the health of the community by
watching where he expectorates.

health officers Join in urging Wash

summer the more healthy will be the
community. One fly can do great
damage as a disease germ carrier.

Sewing Room Hint.

When you are making jacket and
want to fit it on a stand, even If the
stand is made to your measure. don't
forget to put a fully trimmed bod
ice on the stand before you, put the
jacket on it. for, of course, the jack
ct should be fitted SO that it can
be worn over any bodice without be-
ing tight; many amateurs fit their
Jackets on the stand, forgetting to
put the bodice on first. The same may
be said about winter bodices, that are
to be worn over thick vests or slip
bodices, if thick underclothing is to be
worn, it should be put on the stand
before the bodice is fitted.
