sity of Wisconsin recommends the use
of arsenic.
Hutchinson of the department OF ag
riculture says that when manure is
so spread out that it rapidly dries out
flies will not use it as a place in
which to deposit eggs. The depart
ment recommends that manure be
scattered on the fields and thus be
rapidly dried out. This is even more
effective than treating it in boxes with
boraX, iron sulphate or paris green.
To prevent flies from breeding in
stable manure several procedures are
advised. Some of these are.
Prompt removal From fly to fly
through egg, larva and'pupa, the stages
when the insect must stay in one
place-varies at different seasons OF
the year. In the hottest weather it is
never less than ten days. Therefore,
If the manure bins are emptied once a
week the flies will not reach matur-
ity in the vicinity where the eggs are
laid.
Screening Of manure bins. This is
even a more difficult procedure than
screening a house against flies, The
female fly, ready to lay, will try hard
er to reach a good laying place
than flies do to reach a good feeding
place. Nevertheless it can be accom-
plished.
The larvae can be killed according
to the method of Forbes. A barrel
of solution of sulphate of iron, two
pounds to the gallon, is kept in the
stable. Each day some of this solu-
ton is sprinkled in the manure box
and on the floor where the droppings
fall. The cost is about cent horse
day. The manure is not harmed
The stable is deodorized.

MAN TO BE- PITIED
Born Dissenter Finds Himself
With Few Friends.
The World Hesitates 10 Believe in the
Honesty Of Such an individual,
Though He May Consider
Himself independent

The born dissenter generally merits
a share of the worlds frowns which
he somehow manages to evade. Per-
haps 1t is because the world pities
him, and what it pities it hesitates 10
frown upon. But lively soul abhors
pity as much as it does condemnation.
Not the born dissenter, however. If
he abhors anything it is the thought
that some day he will miss an oppor-
tunity to exhibit his talent for dis
senting in a situation where his ex-
ample would influence others to see
his conception of right He denies
himself tobacco not because he does
not like IT, but because he likes to
have his friends believe that he thinks
1t injurious, and has the strength to
do without it, In the midst of a social
gathering he pleads a business en-
gagement as an excuse for leaving.
He has no business engagement, but
1t pleases him to think that he has i'm
pressed a certain group Of persons
with his attention to business, even in
the face Of pleasant alternative. In
matters Of politics and religion and
other things that do not Immediately
touch his pOcketbook, his opinion is
generally contrary to that of the ma
jority, not because that is the way he
thinks, but because TO be with the ma
tority is to be merely one of the mob,
and to admit the possession Of intel
lectual attributes hardly above the or
binary. He calls this independence,
and as often as not he is admired for
1t. He is also commended for his vir-
tues. They are stern virtues, and he
clings to them successfully. As mat
ter of fact, they are negative virtues,
and all of them involve his penchant
for dissension. He is good because,
to his way Of thinking, the vast ma
jority of persons are not good. He is.
therefore, different and better, aud
this is distinction enough for him. The
only trouble with him is that he has
frozen the soul out of himself His
kindness consists in avoiding opportu.
mites to be unkind, and since kind
ness is the greatest of human virtues
he is forced to live a frigid existence
in the alleyways Of life, and men pity
him.-Exchange.

GETTING RID OF FLY
Only Sure Way Is TO Keep
Things Cleaned Up.
Prevent Pests Breeding, and There
Will Be No Problem TO Solve in
Hot Weather-Manure Pile
and Garbage Pail.

The only rational and sure way to
get rid of the fly is to prevent breed
ing-clean up. Next to keeping the
premises cleaned up, the most impor-
tant thing is to keep the houses well
screened. Those that do get into the
home should be killed II is especially
important to kill those that appear
early in the season. One fly killed
now means millions less in August.
The house fly breeds, usually, in
fresh manure. The more of this waste
that is allowed near the house the
more will the dwelling be infested
with flies. Not only do flies breed in
filth, but they have filthy habits. They
are distributors of disease germs OF
all kinds, including tuberculosis germs.
Extreme care should be taken, there
fore, to destroy breeding places and
to keep flies out of the house.
After you have excluded Mr.. Fly
from your house next turn your at.
tention to your garbage pail. This is
one of the great breeding places for
germs OF all sorts. Don't be content
because the garbage man has emptied
your pail. II must be cleaned If in
no other way, put a few newspapers in
the bottom of it and burn them. Heat
is a simple disinfectant If possible
pour a bit of creolin or an oil dis
.infectant on the papers and place the
cover part way over the pail. This
will rid your garbage pail OF any
germs. Remember that only by sani.
tation can fevers and various other
diseases be prevented.
The department of agriculture has
just promulgated the following meth
cd; Powdered borax is sprinkled over
the manure at intervals of five days.
The quantity used is go of pound to
eight bushels of manure. The Univer.

A lock that cannot be jimmied has

Number raas on Fishes.

An idea of what is being learned by
scientific study of fish life in the
waters off the coast of Norway was
given by Dr. John Hort in a recent
lecture. Fishes bearing numbered
tags have been Systematically released
during a number of years, and the
records of the time and place of re-
lease and subsequent capture. with
other facts, have been carefully kept.
In this way much has been learned of
migration and of growth and age as
indicated by annual rings on the
scales. II has been shown that growth
is more rapid in favorable years than
in others. The basis of an estimate
of the catch of any season to the num-
Der of fish available has been obtained
tG.s ratio for the common food fishes
being about one to ten.
