very pretty home affair.

decorated with white crepe paper and
yellow and white chrysanthemums
The dimly shaded lamp in the CEN

tin plates, on which the refreshment
were served were placed near the
edge of the table. and a white and

KEEP FLIES FROM ANIMALS
Tar Often Can Be Used to Advantage
in Protecting Sore Places From
Irritating Insects.

CBy G. H. GLOVER, Colorado Expert
ment Station.)
There is probably nothing that will
keep flies away from live stock to the
extent that they will not be more or
less irritated by them
Most of the coal tar products used
for dips" to kill external parasites
e-e useful when used over the body.
well diluted, and applied from spray
pump. Oil of tar or pine tar can often
be used to advantage in protecting
places that have become sore from the
irritation of flies.
The following mixture has usually
given as much satisfaction as any
other: Synthetic oil of sassafras, four
ounces; lard or meats -foot oil, two
pints, and crude petroleum enough to
make one gallon. This will cost about
81 gallon.
This mixture should not be expen-
sive and will not need to be applied
as often as the other: Fish oil, 100
parts; oil of tar, so parts, and crude
carbolic acid, 1 part.
The best way to swat the fly is
before he is born. Allowing piles of
manure to accumulate in the stables
and yards for flies to breed in and
then applying some kind of dope"
to keep flies away from the animals is
inconsistent, to say the least.

DETERMINING SIZE OF FLOCK
Much Of Equipment Necessary for
Small Number Of Sheep Will
Serve for Larger Number.

During the past, the prices of wool,
and mutton have had powerful in
fiuence upon the size Of the farm
sheep fiocks. There has always been
a tendency for most farmers to dis
pose of their hocks when prices be-
come low and to enter into the BUSH
ness again when the prices become
high. Where pure-bred sheep are
kept the size of the flocks are, as a
general rule, much smaller.
The work of caring for the flock
should be considered in determining
the size Certain chores must be done,
and many of these would take little
more time with so than with Is or
25 head. Much OF the equipment
needed for smaller flock will serve
for a larger one. A ram will be nec-
essary for dozen ewes, while as a
matter of fact mature one could be
bred to so ewes fully as well.
AS q general rule, under mixed
farming conditions. one sheep to three
or I'VE acres is considered advisable.
The question should not merely be-
"How many sheep can you keep" but
How many can you keep healthy ?''I
A small healthy flock is much prefer
able to larger one that is diseased

HAD TO ADMIT DRAWBACKS"
Doubtful, However, II AuctIoneer's
"Candor" Interfered With the
Sale of~the Estate.

A certain London auctioneer, in adj
dition to a fine personal appearance
and splendid Evolutionary talents. is
possessed of considerable culture and
knowledge of human nature.
At book sale this gentleman would
read with exquisite taste passages
from the books he was selling. with
brief biographies and criticisms OF
their authors, reciting hexameters
from Greek and Roman classics, and
rendering passages from humorous
writer's with tone and air so lu-
dicrous as to set the room in a roar
Of laughter Thus he often won higher
prices for books than those got at the
shops.
An amusing example of his clever
ness in extolling an estate is the Ian
guage with which he once closed a
highly-colored description of the prop
erty he was selling. For a few mo-
ments he paused, and then said:
"And now, gentlemen, having given
truthful description of this magnifi-
cent estate, candor compels me to adj
nit that it has two drawbacks-the lit

to the acceptance of brides. They
were too well watched by their SUI

seal up his wines and liquors, but even
if they did, they would leave him out

No. Philip Horribly had some strong
motive in paying a heavy bride to
avoid the visit of the dogana. If he
really had paid, he must have paid
very heavily; Of that was convinced.

EXTRACT FROM A RECENT SER
MON

Quitman, Ca, June 10 (special.)
Wherever the Catholic Church
holds sway stagnation and death
reign supreme" SAID Rev. G. "A.
Campbell, pastor of the First Pres
byterian Church of Quitman, in a
stirring sermon delivered today on
the foundation principles fought for
by Martin Luther through the Re-
formation He paid his respects to
the Catholic Church in scathing de-
nunciation Of it's plans and methods
and said it stood for the same things
today which had always marked it's
history.
Martin Luther, through the Re-
formation, he said, fought for justi
fication and salvation by faith, and
not through the church; fought for
the authority of the Bible rather
than the authority of the church and
the priest Or holy father, and for the
liberty Of man, and the success Of
his fight, said Mr.. Campbell, was
responsible for the liberty of Amer
lea and all other Christian nations
and peoples on the face of the globe.
He was warmly congratulated at
the close Of his address.

held their heads up. They were not
poor because of dissipation OF any
member of the family, but because
the mother was left widow with
family of children; and, be it said to
her credit, she kept them together
and worked for them until they could
help themselves.
I have seen little Mary, with other
members of her family, at Sunday
school in the early spring, when she
looked as bright and fresh and clean
as a flower of the springtime; and
then for devils to intimate the things
they have about her, makes me al
most have evil wishes in my heart.
One could not look as | did into
that sweet but bruised and blood
shotten face and think for one sec
ond OF her yielding.
Oh! that moment when the white
flower-laden casket lid was lifted
and I saw for the first time after her
death the face of my former Sunday
school pupil! That moment will
never be forgotten. Nor will the
cries and tears of the dear mother
and older sister, as they got the first
glimpse since her death, and the last
one on earth, ever be forgotten. Oh,
the sad picture to all! A robust girl,
Just blossomipg into womanhood,
with both eyes black from ticks and
bruises upon her forehead, cold and
silent in death; never to speak to her
loved ones on earth again. It makes
me shudder as I think Of it.
Say, as to the monument to Mary.
I am glad to see the interest and glad
that one has been erected. and that
larger plans are on foot. But listen,
would it not be a grander and more
lasting monument if we Georgians q
am q Georgian by choice and a Viz
ginian by BIRTH would raise few
thousand dollars and give Mrs. Cole

Portable home in some desirable place
