Ploushing Under the Weeds.

There is many a man with land who
allows fields to lie fallow, producing
great crops of weeds and brambles
which, drying and ripening in the
breezes of late summer and fall, rob
the soil OF its strength. Such neglect is
ruinous.
Every farmer knows that land which
grows a crop must be strengthened
fertilizer or it depreciates in soil ferti-
ity. But great many of them do not
appear to know why this depreciation
is inevitable. Regardless of the appar-
ent inconsistency Of the statement, this
is true; the farmer knows full well but
doesn't know why.
If the farmer knew why, he would
not allow weeds to lift up their rank
growth, taking properties from the
ground, and then dry in the air dis
tributing those same properties to the
four winds. He would plongh the
weeds under while they are yet green
in order that the properties taken from
the soil might be returned to it,
Corn, wheat, oats or any other farm
product grows better in fertile ground.
Why? Because the rich properties in
the soil are taken therefrom and made
into the growing product by that
mysterious process Nature alone knows.
Then the ground which produces a
growth must yield a certain amount of
its strength, the same becoming part
of the vegetation it produces.
And yet another feature of this sub
ject becomes important. The farmer
who ploughs under green weeds after
cutting his wheat or oats or rye re-
turns to the soil not only the properties
taken from it but properties the vegeta-
ton has taken from the atmosphere.
Plants will not grow in vacuum; they
must have air, for the reason that the
air has properties necessary to them.
Hence the farmer, who lets his weed
crops ripen and fall, loses, more than
the strength of the soil which he al
ready had, but fails to take what he
may, the properties gathered by the
weeds from the open air.

GET POSTED ON THE
NEW 1914 FISH LAW AS
IT EFFECTS THIS COUNTY

Almost every day we learn of some
new Interpretation of the new fishing
law which went into effect the first of
the year and which affects this part OF
the state. The new law does not affect
residents of Michigan. On this all
agree. 1t does not affect the Great
Lakes. This is something new. Any
one no matter where their home may
be can fish off the docks, breakwaters,
from boats or any other place in the
waters OF the Great Lakes and the bays
and harbors. Those who fish for perch
and herring off the East Jordan docks
or from boats in the harbor need pay
no attention to the new law as it does
not affect them at ALL This sport can
still be enjoyed to its fullest by every
one. Then, too, some have advanced
the theory that every man, woman or
child, who comes here from any other
states for the summer, must each Sc
cure one of the new tangled licenses
before they can fish on the inland lakes
and streams, but this is also a mistake.
Every male over eighteen years of age
and who is a nonresident, must secure
a license. But husband, his wife, all
of his daughters and all of his sons
under eighteen years of age can fish
under the protection of the husbands
license, which, if he does not care to
fish for trout, will cost him the large
sum OF one dollar. Those merchants
who sell fishing tackle and sporting
goods and boat liverymen should under
stand this new law thoroughly so that
it may be easily and quickly explained
by them to the summer visitors to this
region who want to fish. Get copy of
the new law at once and study it fully
so as to be able to give satisfactory
and correct Interpretation of it to
your patrons and friends.

New Parcel Post Stamps

A number of new stamps will soon be
issued by the postal department al
Washington. Most Of them will be con-
venient for users of the parcels post,
although they are not to be printed for
that purpose exclusively
The colors will vary from black to
vermillion and pink. They will be the
same size as the standard stamps now
in use Of the series of 1911.
The 7-cent stamps will be black, O.
cent stamps pink, l2-cent stamps mar
oon, 20-cent stamps light blue, and 80
cent stamps vermillion.
: The 7-cent stamp bears the head of
Washington in profile from Houdon's
bust The 9, II, 20, and 30-cent stamps
bears the head of Franklin in profile.
These four denominations have the
same border designs as the current s.
cent to 81 stamps.

FACTS ABOUT OUR ENEMY

The fly is very interesting animal,
although he is 'the most dangerous
wild animal on earth" as he spreads
typhoid fever, cholera infantum, dys-
entery, tuberculosis, spinal meningitis
and many other filth diseases.
Only few young mother flies sur
vive the winter and in the spring they
begin feeding and soon commence lay
ing eggs. The fly lays from l2O to $50
eggs at one time and one fly may live
to lay six times. The stages in the life
of the fly are:
(a) Egg, s hours in hot weather to 6
weeks in cold.
(b) Maggot, to 8 days of active
feeding upon filth.
(c) Pupa, resting stage of or 3
days in which the maggot becomes
covered with hard case and completes
the great change from maggot to wing
ed insect.
After coming out as a fly, it feeds
and flies about for IA days before it
natures its first batch of eggs. A pair of
flies in the spring are equal to 191, ,010,-
100000, 900, 100000 flies in September.
The most attractive foods to the fly
are milk, fish and sweets, and they
swarm to any fermenting or r0tting
matter, garbage, the contents of spit
toons, and all sorts of unnamable filth.
1t is not unusual for fly to swallow
one half its weight of food at one meal
and the proboscis or sucking tube is
the means by which the food is. taken
into the body, everything being first
dissolved with drop of saliva sucked
back and forth.
There are three ways to fight the fly:
