barn. Apply the borax particularly
around the outer edges of the pile
with flour sitter or any fine sieve,
and sprinkle or gallons of water
over the borax-treated manure.
The reason for applying the boraX
to the fresh manure Immediately af
ter its removal from the stable is that
the flies lay their eggs on the fresh
manure, and borax, when it comes in
contact with the eggs, prevents their
Matching. AS the maggots congregate
at the outer edges of the pile, most OF
the borax should be applied there.
The treatment should be repeated with
each addition of fresh manure, but
wnen the manure is kept in closed
boxes less frequent applications will
be sufficient. Where the calcined
cOlemanite is available, it may be used
at the rate of OTIS pound per 10 cubic
feet of manure, and is cheaper
means of killing the maggots. In addi-
ton to the application of borax to
horse manure to kill fly larvae, it may
be applied in the same proportion to
other mamlres, as well as to refuse
and garbage. Borax may also be ap-
piled to floors and crevices in barns,
stables, markets, ETC., as we'll as to
street sweepings and water should be
added as in THE treatment of horse
manure. Aftef estimating the amount
of material toS be treated and weigh
ing the necessary amount of borax a
measure may beAused which will hold
the proper amount thus avoiding sub
sequent weighings.
Warning in CONNECTION With the Use
of Borax-Treated Manure.
while it can bel safely stated that
no injurious action will follow the ap-
plication of manure treated with borax
at the rate of 0.62 pound for s bushels,
or even larger amounts in the case of
some plants, nevertheless borax-treat-
ed manure has not been studied in
connection with the growth of all
crops. nor has its cumulative effect
been determined. 1t is therefore rec
commended that not more than Is tons

all public-health officials and others in
recommending the bOraX treatment
for killing fly eggs and maggOts in
manure warn the public against the
injurious effects of large amounts of
borax on the growth of plants.
Cost of Borax Treatment.
"The amount of manure from a
horse varies with the straw or other
bedding used, but II or II bushels per
week represent the approximate
amount obtained. AS bOrax costs
from 5 to cents per pound in 100
pound lots in Washington, it will
make the cost of the borax practically
1 cent per horse per day. And if cal
cined colemanite is purchased in
large shipments the cost should be
considerably less

LUMBER TRADE OUTLOOK.

Meridian, Miss, May 21.-Despite
the unrest of business circles growing
out of the sinking of the Lusitania
and the American note to Germany,
inquiry and demand for yellow pine
have remained steady during the past
week. Orders have maintained a
steady although small quantity flow.
This is taken as an indication of
strength and is part of the stride
shown by the market during the past
few weeks. Prices show a stiff front,
with little fluctuations during the
week.
The reported car shortage on some
railroads has brought a growing con
viction that somebody is doing more
business than they care to make
known The railroads report a good
sized movement of lumber and this
adds to the general optimistic feeling
that has caught the trade during the
past two weeks.
1t is known that stocks in all re-
tail yards are at low ebb and that
purchases for immediate needs are be-
ing made and as these needs increase
demand increases and it is expected
that retailers will soon begin to re
stock their yards

tendencies while we are here On earth"
There was brief silence. The port
had been placed upon the table and cof-
fee served, The servants, according
to the custom Of the house. had de-
parted. The great apartment was
empty. Even Quest was impressed
by some peculiar significance in the
long-drawn-out silence. He looked
around him uneasily. The growing re-
gard of that long line of painted war
riors seemed somehow to be full of
menace. There was something grim,
too, in the sight of those empty suits
OF armor.
Il may be superstitious, Lord Ash
leigh said, "but there are times, espe-
cially just lately, when l seem to find
a new and hateful quality in silence
What Is it, wonder? | ask you, but
think know. 1t is the conviction that
there is some alien presence, some
thing disturbing, lurking close at
hand"
He suddenly rose to his feet, pushed
his chair back and walked to the win
dow, which opened level with the
ground. He threw it up and listened.
The others came over and joined him.
There was nothing to be heard but the
distant hooting of an owl, and farther
away the barking of some farmhouse
dog. Lord Ashleigh stood there with
straining eyes, gazing out across the
park.
There was something here he
muttered; something which has gone
What's that? Quest, your eyes are
younger than mine. Can you see any
thing underneath that tree?"
Quest peered out into the gray dark
ness.
Il fancied saw something moving
in the shadow of that oak" he NUT
tered. Wait"
He crossed the terrace, swung down
on to the path, across the lawn, over
a wire fence and into the park itself
All the time he kept his eyes fixed on
certain spot. When at last he
reached the tree there was nothing
there. He looked all around him. He
stood and listened for several mo-
ments. A more utterly peaceful night
or more utter peace it would be hard
to imagine. Slowly he made his way
back to the house
Il imagine we are all a little nervy
tonight" he remarked. There's moth
ing doing out there"
They strolled about for a hour or
more, looking into different rooms,
showing their guest the finest pictures,
even taking him down into the wonder
full cellars. They parted early, but
Quest stood, for few moments before
retiring, gazing about him with an air
almost of awe. His great room, as
large as an Italian palace, was lit by
dozen wax candles in silver candle
sticks. His four-poster was supported
by pillars of black oak, carved into
strange forms, and surmounted by the
Ashleigh coronet and coat -of-arms. He
threw his windows open wide and
stood for a moment looking out across
the park, more clearly visible now by
the light of the slowly rising moon.
There was scarcely breeze stirring,
scarcely sound even from the animal
world. Nevertheless, Quest, too, as re-
luctantly he made his preparations for
retiring for the night, was conscious
Of that quer sensation of unimagined
and impalpable danger.
