PROTECT STOCK FROM FLIES
Department Of Agriculture Recon-
nnends Mixture of Soap and kero-
sene-Use Spray or Wash.

CBy CHARLES I. BRAY. Colorado Ex-
pertinent Station.)
During the summer months, when
cattle are most likely to be bothered
with flies, there are many people
who wish to know what can be done
as q preventive. There are num-
Der of methods sometimes recommend
ed for this purpose, some of which are
supposed to keep flies off the animal
by virtue of their bad odor or greasy
nature, and some which are supposed
to be sprayed on to kill the flies.
Considerable doubt exists as to the
benefits to be obtained from using
any of these treatments, or as to the
relative value of the different ways
of combating flies.
For spraying the backs of cattle at
milking time, there is possibly moth
ing more reliable than kerosene
emulsion. The following recipe
given by the'United States department
of agriculture is one of the best ways
of making this: Dissolve one-halt
pound of hard soap in one gallon Of
hot water, and while still at near boil
ing point add two gallons kerosene,
and emulsify by use of force pump
or agitator of some kind. Dilute with
water, one part emulsion to eight
parts water, and use as a spray, dip
or wash.

SHEEP REQUIRE SOME SHADE
Best Place for Shed Is on Open
Ground Where There Is No
Grass-Hieh Fence Will Do.

Do not allow the sheep to lie around
in fence corners or huddle in under
brush. The best shade is a shed on
open ground where there is no grass.
A little bit of shelter is fine for
sheep. Even if it be nothing more
than a high board fence on the side
toward the sunshine it will help lot.
The sheep can snuggle up near to
that and escape the direct rays of the
sun.
Better than such fence is a piece
Oh woodland. We have cluster of lit
tie hemlocks in our pasture, up on
side hill, says writer in an exchange.
The sheep run up into that and escape
not only the heat, but also the miser-
able flies that hurt them so.

REMEDY FOR PAVING HORSES
Annoying Habit May Be Cured by
Fastening Chain to Animals Leg
Acts as Chain Switch. ~

A horse that has the habit of paw
ing, especially at night, is most an
noying. 1t is also bad for the horses
feet if he is paving all the time. To
stop this, take a strong strap with a
buckle On it, also or 10 inches of
heavy chain. Put tho strap around
the horses leg above the knee so
the chain will hang down in front of
the knee.
This device acts as a chain switch
and will cure the horse of the paving
habit. 1t also keeps a horse from
running in rough pastures.-Farm and
Fireside.

SPRAYING KEEPS FLIES AWAY
Relief Afforded Live Stock by Mixture
of Three Parts Fish Oil and One
Part Kerosene.

Relief from attacks by flies may be
brought to live stock on the farm by
the use of sprays. The following
spray is suggested in extension bulle-
tin No. 43 on "Flies and Theil Coz.
troll" by F. L. Washburn, entomolo-
gist of the Minnesota college of agri-
culture.
Three parts of fish oil and one part
kerosene.
The spraying is best done with
knapsack sprayer, and it takes only
two or three minutes to spray steer
or horse. The spray appears to keep
off all flies for two days.

war SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, March Especial:
The French war office explains the
essential purpose of the operations in
the Champagne district, which have
extended over the period from Feb
ruary 16, as being designed to pre-
vent the transportation by the Ger
mans of troops to Russia by keeping
the greatest possible number of Ger
man forces engaged in that region
and imposing upon them the greatest
possible consumption of war NUM-
tions.
This statement is made in answer
to that issued previously by the Ger
man government, which declared
that the allies had failed in their OBJ
jsct to break through the German
lines in the Champagne region and
that the winter battle in that district
had come to an end with the situa-
ton virtually unchanged.
The French office states the pur-
pose has been completely attained,
because with the heavy reinforce
ments the Germans failed to take adj
vantage of their position and found
1t impossible to transport troops to
Russia.
Meanwhile the battles which have
been developing in Poland and the
Carpathians give no signs of cessa-
ton, and the relative positions of the
opposing forces are still a matter of
conjecture, for the latest official
statement issued from Petrograd
merely reports that battles of ex-
treme obstinacy are being fought be-
tween the Niemen and the Vistula
rivers, near P~rzasnysz. and at other
points, while in the Carpathians the
allies of the Austrians have been re-
pulsed and the Germans have been
driven back in eastern Galicia-how
far il is not stated.
The operations in the western war
zone have again been interrupted by
fog. but the British troops have been
successful in maintaining the posi-
tons recently won in the peighbor-
hood of La Bassee.
The American ambassador at Lon
don has presented a note to Great
Britain that he be advised as to the
British plan for cutting off trade to
and from Germany, and what effect
that action will have on the COM
merce of neutral countries. An iden-
teal note was sent to the French gov
eminent.
According to an authoritative
statement from London the British
reply to the American note respect
ing the entrance into Germany of
foodstuffs will be based on the view
that the subject must come up for
discussion if it is to be a question
of Germany's conforming to the rules
of civilized warfare" with respect TO
all points, and not merely the two
suggested by the United States
Germany's abandonment OF her sub
marine warfare on merchant ships,
and her mining OF the high seas.
The German government intends
to institute an investigation into the
report that the British admiralty
means to withhold from captured
crews Of German submarines the Gus
tomary honorable imprisonment con
ditions, and threatens retaliatory
measures If such restraints are i'm
posed.

PIONEER WOMAN


Mrs. Lee was born at Thornhill,
Scotland, s~ixty-hve years ago. When
five years old she came with her
parents to Michigan and afterwards
settled in Wisconsin. She was mar
ried to VIM. Lee in 1859. The fol-
lowing summer Mr.. Lee came to seek
a home in South Dakota. After
travelling up the Sioux valley from
Sioux Falls through Dell Rapids and
Flandreau he. with Herman Luce,
after whom Lake Herman was named
met a trapper who told them of the
beauties of what was then known as
the Skunk lakes as called by the In
dams. Mr.. Lee, delighted with the
locality, settled on the south shore of
Lake Madison and there with logs
built the first house in Lake county.
In October he went to the end of the
railway-Sioux City-and met his
wife and baby. who were accom-
panied by Mrs. Lees mother, Mrs.
Walker, and three brothers. The
first death in Lake county was that
of the little Arthur Lee, who was
drowned in a little pond of water
neal the house on the LIST of April
after coming to their new prai-
RE home. Mrs. Lee also lost two
other son in childhood before the
family moved to the town of Madi-
SON as now located. Mr.. Lee was for
some years sheriff Of Lake county.
His death occurred in August, 1908,
and the funeral is said to have been
the largest ever seen in Lake county.
Mrs. Lee has been making her home
with her only daughter. Mrs. Mabel

years and it was there that her death
occurred last Monday.
On January 81, 1879, the first
Presbyterian church in Lake county
was organized south of Lake Madi-
SON. Mrs. Lee and her mother. Mrs.
Janet Walker. were two of the ten
members that composed the organic
alton. The organization is still con-
tinued In Madison, and 1t was from
this church that the funeral took
place. The orders of the Eastern

neral in a body. az did the members
