see what we call buzz or horse flies.
1t is most important to destroy these
for they breed the flies for the coming
season. Many of these disgusting, big
flies are in evidence now and each one
of these means many thousands later
in the season.
Every building should be screened,
all receptacles of waste, garbage, ma
nure and empty cans, paper that food
has been wrapped in, and anything that
can attract fly, should be burned or
buried at once. Sewers and drains
offer flies good breeding places too
and towns should have their health Off
GERS see that these are made sanitary.
Fly traps are practical for public mar
kets and wherever there are manv flies.
Sticky fly paper is safe trap and if it
catches something besides flies alcohol
or gasoline will free it, Formaldehyde
of forty per cent. solution, diluted with
six times its volume of water, may be
set about the house in shallow dishes,
but this loses its strength quickly and
must be renewed every day. .Fumigat
ing is another way to rid the house of
flies and all insects it must be done
twice, with four weeks between each
operation.
If we all try our best this summer to
get rid of flies perhaps another season
we may not have to imprison ourselves
behind screens and door while flies roam
freely through our lovely world

Valor In aetrospect.

In the month Of May, when the
chestnuts bloom in the green dells,
where the, delicate young foliage
holds the light as in golden cups, a
young man walked through one of the
small allees Of the Bois at the fash
ionable noon hour, little reddish dog
trotting at his heels. The young man
walked with an imperceptible limp.
He was thin, as men are who have
lived hard and who have overcome
tremendous obstacles. He was tanned
as men are Drowned who have come
from eastern and extreme southern
countries.

DIsGRAcED THE SENTINEL.

For Not Killing the Army Chief Whe
Had Struck Him.
In France in the seventeenth century
the Office Of sentinel was a very solemn
charge. and part Of the sentiners
duty was to resent and punish any af.
front The severity Of this punish
ment was in proportion to the high i'm
portance Of his office. A Frenchman
relates an incident illustrative Of this
fact:
In 1922 M. de Marillac rode away on
horseback from an audience with the
king. His horse stepped on senti-
nel's foot The man struck the horse,
which leaped forward and shook M. de
Marillac in his saddle.

dneL The soldier belonged to the com.
pany of NJ. de Goas. who when he
heard Of this had him arrested and i'm
prisoned he himself set out, sword
In hand, in search Of NJ. de Marillac to
demand satisfaction for an insult to his
sentinel
The king was informed Of the Incl.
dent and sent for NJ. de Goas and N.
de Marillac. He reprimanded de MariL
lac severely. told him that the sentinel
should have killed him and forbade
him to exercise his command as chief
marshal for six days.
The sentinel was tried before q coun.
cQ Of war and was sentenced as a pen.
atty for not killing De Marillac to be
deprived Of his arms in the presence Of
his regiment and to be tortured by tho
strappado-that is. to be hoisted by
rope to q beam and let fall. The king
pardoned the man. but NJ. de Goas
would not have him in his company
again.-Washington Star.

SHEEP ON THE FARM.

Valuable as Weed aeavsnssrs essidss
Yielding Mutton and Wool.
It Il certain from long observation Of
sheep BY many practical men that q
limited number Of this useful animal
may be carried on almost any farm In
the land at very ui6ing cost to tho
owner. writes Virginia farmer in the
Farm and Home.
Many plants and much other heritage
that other stock will not eat are read
fly appropriated BY sheep. They are
great bramble and plant scavengefs,
and, while they prefer and will travel
long way to find green. succulent and
tender browsing. almost anything that
is green and succulent will be eaten BY
them.
For this reason 1t is an excellent plan
to have few sheep to browse over the
cattle pastures of the farm and weed
out the coarse plants that hinder the
good grasses that cattle prefer from
attaining their best growth.
Though one may prefer to feed his
flock with some liberality, enough to
maintain the sheep in good plight and
health at all seasons, yet no domestic
animal can live and thrive and be con-
tent upon so little feed as will the
sheep. For the man Of small means no
species of stock offers such induce
ment as does the domestic sheep, ma
tives or cross breeds.
Besides the annual clip Of wool, there
are the byproducts of the manure and
an occasional mutton to sell to the
butcher besides the yearly increase
from lambs and the pelts Of those
slaughtered upon the farm.
If sheep are duly housed or penned
at night year in and year out the
amount Of manure that may be saved
from one or two dozen animals will
amount to quite an item in the course
Of year. And no domestic manure Il
richer in fertility or in better shape te
handle and apply or better suited t.
nv crop than that Of the sheep.
