How to Break In" Book.

The proper way to break in" a
book is to lay it on its back on a Ia
BILE, and then open but few leaves
at time, alternately at the front and
at the back, until you reach the mid
die of the volume. Some readers have
the bad habit of keeping their place
by opening the book until the covers
meet, and then laying it down, still
open. Limp leather bound volumes
will stand such treatment, but those
bound in boards will not. Almost as
bad is the trick of keeping your place
by putting between the leaves some
bulky object.

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

| By q 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 OF
less irritated by them.
Most of the coal tar products used
for dips" to kill external parasites
s-e useful when used over the body,
well diluted, and applied from a 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 neats-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, / 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.

The Game Is Not for Man Alone.

The intelligence that appears to per-
wade the organic world and that
reaches its conscious expression in the
brain of man is just as manifest in all
the forms Of animals and plants that
are inimical to HMM all his natural
enemies-venomous snakes and beasts
of prey. and insect pests-as in any
thing else. Nature is as wise and So
licitous for rats and mice as for men.
In fact, she has endowed many of the
lower creatures with physical powers
that she has denied him. Evidently
man is only one of the cards in her
pack, doubtless the highest one, but
the game Is not played for him alone.
