Legislators Growing Impatient.

The number Of members OF Congress
who arc convinced that President Will
son made an error in declining TO rec
ognize Hureta. and who believe that
the lifting of the embargo on arms was
merely case Of following one blunder
with another, is increasing daily. al

issue with the White House have not
yet arrived at point where they be
leve good can he accomplished by ex-
pressing their views in public.
In explaining that there would he no
expedition into Mexico to recover Ben
toms body the President remarked that
I'm all the alleged precedents which had
been brought TO his attention there had
been either consent OF the existing
government. or a state bordering on
anarchy had existed, with no constitut-
ed authority in control. When asked
II that was not precisely the state ex-
isting in Northern Mexico, where Villa
is i'm quasi control, he replied with We
hemence that the conditions there were
quite the contrary.
In diplomatic circles there is a con-
viction that ultimately Mexico will
have 10 pay dearly for the killing of
Benton, although Great Britain may
refrain from asking the United States
10 make reprisals. Villas course is
serving 10 convince others than the
administration that there has been
something most sinister about the
death OF Benton, and IL is asserted that
while Great Britain may be patient and
may refrain from making any demands
on the United States. sooner or later
Mexico will be compelled to indemnify
the British government and Bentons
relatives on scale commensurate with
Great Britain's dignity.

AFRICA YIELDS OLDEST MAN
Skeleton Hundreds of Thousands Of
Years Old Found in Desert In
German Section.

Berlin.-That a highly-developed hui
mar race inhabited Africa many hun
dreds of thousands of years ago is
shown, according to DR.. Hans Rock,
professor of pa~leontology of Berlin, by
the discovery of a perfectly preserved
fossil human skeleton in the desert
of German East Africa.
The skeleton was extracted from
diluvial strata in a dry and desert
canyon. once apparently a fertile,
equatorial swamp. The fossil is one
of the most remarkable in existence,
being quite perfect in teeth, skull,
ribs, b~reastbone and extremities, de-
spite its ~incalculable age proved by
fossils of extinct animals which sur
rounded it. The skeleton shows few
signs Of "undeveloped" humanity.
at this geological epoch a very
highly developed human race inhab-
tied the African continent" declares
the doctor. The fossil was found
in tufa limestone, and must have
been deposited there when the exist
ing desert al equatorial swamp;
that is, at the period when central
Europe was passing through the gla-
cial epoch"
The same tufa excavations revealed
monstrous elephants, hippopotomi,
rhinoceros, gigantic apes and many
other animals either extinct or degen-
Grated. The skeleton is believed to be
much neare than anything yet dis
covered to the original foundation Of
the human race.

DAMPNESS IN POULTRY HOUSE
Modern Building Usually Depends
Upon Ventilation to Prevent 1t From
Becoming Uncomfortable.

CBy A. C. SMITH, Minnesota Experiment
Station)
A prolonged period of unusually
damp weather is always a trying ex,
perience for poultrymen.
The modern poultry house usually
depends upon ventilation to prevent it
from becoming uncomfortable from ex-
cessive humidity, which is an exceed.
ingly difficult thing to do during a
prolonged period of damp weather,
Litter is usually of such material that
it absorbs water readily and at such
times as mentioned above becomes in
tolerably damp. Because of the fowls
close and constant contact, damp lit
ter cause more colds and cases of
roup than extremely low temperatures,
and is on that account most damaging
to the health Of the fowls, which can
endure dirty litter almost to the point
of filthiness with less harmful effect.
Remove the damp litter at once,
ever though it has just been put in.
No litter at all would be better than
the damp litter. Occasionally one
must expect to find the weather
against him. Even poultrymen can
not expect to find it all sunshine. Make
the best of it and supply new and dry
litter at a trifing cost, rather than
sustain big losses in fowls or egg pro-
duction, probably both.

The thorough screening of all win.
dows and doors of stables has been
found successful and desirable. When
barns are screened care should be
taken to brush the flies from the ami,
mails when they are about to enter, by
means of nets over the doorway, or
with. sacks. Little can be done to
protect range stock from the flies. On
hog farms a freshly plowed trench of,
fers considerable protection to swine.
The sides of the trenches may be
smeared with petroleum which is
a repellant.
Destruction of Immature Stages and
Prevention of Breeding.
Since straw stacks have been found
to be the. principal breeding places
of the stable fly in the grain belt, the
proper are of the straw is by far
the most important step in control.
The straw should be stacked more
carefully than is ordinarily done when
it is desired to keep it for protection
and food for live stock. This may be
accomplished by making the sides of
the stack nearly vertical and rounding
it up on top, in order the better to
shed the rain.
So far as is possible, all straw which
is not required for winter food for
stock should be disposed of immediate
ly by burning or by scattering it over
the land soon after thrashing, and
subsequently blowing it under, or
by burning the stack. The blowing
under of the straw is the most advis-
able method of procedure, as by this
practise large amounts of humus are
added to the soil. Oat straw is most
generally used for feeding purposes,
and it is this straw which forms the
principal breeding grounds for flies.
1t is, therefore, important that all the
oat straw needed for seed purposes or
bedding be baled and stored under
cover, and that the remainder be
promptly burned or scattered. All
straw stacks not consumed by stock
during the winter should be promptly
disposed Of in the early spring, as
these stacks furnish flies continuously
during the spring and summer.

CAREFUL FEEDING PAYS BEST
Cows at Minnesota University Farm
Give Much Larger Yield Than
Those Throughout State.

(By T. L. HACKER, University Farm,
st. Paul, MIMI
From a careful investigation we find
that u common cows are capable Of
producing a much larger yield than Is
secured from the average common
COW in the state. During the past
decade we have always had at the
Minnesota university farm, in the
dairy herd, a number of common
cows; that is, COWS with no dairy
h%eredity. The average yield from
these common COWS. for % yearly
records, is 5000 pounds Of milk, and
222 pounds of butter; which last,
valued at 27 cents per pound, is equal
in round numbers to $50 for butter
alone. The average receipt per com
mon COW in the state Is $46.40; which
shows that the average COW is yielding
$14 less per annum than she might
easily yield if given the same are and
feed as are given the COWS at univer-
sity farm.

framework made to fit closely in a
window. On the floor of this frame
work is a bait pan containing any kind
of food material attractive to the flies.
Both the inner. and outer sides of the
, frame are covered with screen wire,
arranged in such a way as to provide
three rows of openings leading tx the
interior.
One opening is a space one-half inch
wide between the floor of the trap and
the lower screen wire. There is
one such space on each side run
ming entirely across the window.
These openings admit flies directly
into the space containing the bait.
This is covered by a roof Of screen
wire along the ridge of which holes,
large enough for flies to pass, are
punched at two inch intervals. High
er up the sides are two rows of open
ings formed by bending the screen
wire inward and upward to form two
horizontal folds running across the
window.
A series Of small holes are also
punched along the inner edge Of each
of these folds. Thus there are three
rows Of openings on each side of the
trap, n at the bottom leading direct
ly to the bait and from there through
the holes in the ridge to the interior
of the trap. The two above this are
openings through folds of wire which

the sides provide a way of entrance
to the trap even if the flies caught

openings in the ridge covering the
bait.
Protection of Live Stock From the
Fly.
A mixture Of fish oil Zone gaIlon),
oil of pine tar (two ounces), oil of
pennyroyal 1.-TWO ~ounces), and kero-
sen (one-half pint) has been found
to be very effective in keeping the flies
off live stock when applied lightly but
thoroughly to the portions of animals
not covered with blankets or nets.
Work animals may be largely protect
ed from the pest by means of cover
ings. One type found very effective
and inexpensive during an outbreak
of the pest in Texas consisted of a
blanket made of double thickness of
burlap SO arranged as completely to
cover the back, sides and neck of the
animal. The legs are hen covered
by means Of old trousers slipped on
over the feet and tied over the back.
Leather nets or strips of leather at
tached to the bride aid in keeping the
flies from the head. The ordinary fly
net has proven Of little value as it
only tends to displace the flies tenn
porarily.

prepared by the United states Depart
ment of Ag~riculture.)
The stable fly is regarded by the
department of agriculture as a men
ace, not only to domestic animals, but
to human beings, and this is the sea-
son of the year when means for ex-
terminating and controlling the pest
should be adopted. In this connection
h department recommends, among
other things, the Hodge fly trap, a sim
pie, easily constructed continuance, as
one of the most effective meas
ures in destroying the fly. The flies
frequently attack mankind, and during
severe outbreaks men engaged in field
work are often annoyed by them.
In the southern part of the United
States the stable fly is a source of
great danger to live stock, and to
the welfare of the community practi-
cally throughout the year. In the
Northwest the fly seldom becomes suf-
fciently numerous to cause annoyance
except during the latter part of the
summer and early fall. The most Sc
rious damage caused by the fly, how
ever, is in the grain belt.
Practically all warm-blooded ami
mails are attacked by flies, while mules
in general seem tt be more annoyed
than any other animals. Horses and
cattle are severely attacked, while
sheep and goats are prey for the fly,
which attacks them on all parts of
the body not protected by the wool,
particularly the legs, and hogs are
subject to annoyance by the pest, es-
pecially when they are in pasture.
