the investigators found that O62 of a pound of
boraX, OTIS of a pound of calcined colemanite
(crude calcium boratel would kill the maggots
and prevent practically all of the flies ordinarily
breeding in eight bushels of horse manure from
developing. This was proved by placing manure
in cages and comparing the results from piles
treated with borax and from untreated piles.
The borax, it was found, killed the fly eggs and
maggots in the and prevented their
growth into flies
In the Of garbage refuse piles,
two ounces of borax or calcined colemanite, cost
ing from five cents a pound upward, according
to the quantity which is purchased, will ehectuai
ly prevent flies from breeding.
While it can be safely stated that no injurious
action has followed the application of manure
treated with borax at the rate Of so pounds for
eight bushels or even larger amounts in the case
Of some plants, nevertheless -boraxtreated ma
nure has not been studied in connection with the
growth of all crops, has its cumulative effect
been determined. It is therefore recommended
that not more than Is tons Of the bOraX-treated
manure should be applied per acre to the field
AS truck growers considerably more than this
amount, is is suggested that all cars containing
borax-treated manure be marked, and that
public health officials stipuate in their directions
for this treatment that not over so (62-1OO) Of
pound for eight bushels OF manure be used as
it has been shown that larger amounts of borax
will fnjure most plants. 1t is also recommended
that all public health officials and others in
recommending borax treatment for killing fly
eggs and maggots in manure warn the
public against the injurious effects Of large
amounts of borax the growth OF plants.
Purchasers of manure produced in cities during
the fy-breeding season should ihsist that the
dealers from whom they purchase give them a
certified statement as to whether not the
in the particular car or lot involved in
the purchase has been treated with borax.
In feeding to hogs garbage that contains borax
care is also recommended especially when the
animals are being fattened for market BoTax is
not a very poisonous substance and the feeding
of garbage that contains it to hogs is not likely
to be a serious matter On the other hand. borax
in large quantities does produce gastric dis
turbances and for this reason a certain amount
of care is advisable.
The Hays free press. [volume] (Hays, Kan.) 1908-1924, 1915-06-12

The method for using this substance in the
of stables is to sprinkle the borax or cole
mantle in the quantities given above, by means
OF q -four sitter other fine sieve, around the
outer edges Of the pile of horse manure. The
manure should then be sprinkled Immediately
with two three gallons Of water to eight bush
els of manure. 1t is essential however, to sprin-
kle little of the borax the manure as it is
added daily to the pile, instead OF waiting until
a full pile is obtained. because this will prevent
the eggs which the flies lay on fresh manure
from Matching. AS the fly maggots congregate at
the outer edge Of the manure pile. most Of the
borax should be spFinkled there.
Borax costs five to six cents per pound In 100
pound lots in Washington, and it is estimated
that at this rate it would cost only one cent per
horse per day to prevent all breeding Of flies in
city stables If calcined colemanite is purchased
in large shipments. this cost should be consider
ably less. At the time If the borax is used
on the manure only in the proportions stated,
its value for in the garden for sale to
farmers will not be lessened
In view of this discovery, there now seems
little excuse for any horse owner resident Of
city allowing typhoid flies to breed In his stable
or garbage
1t is believed that this information will greatly
help the health authorities in their campaign
against the typhoid fly. The health authorities
have long tried to prevent the breeding of flies in
city stables through the Of iron sulphate a

being comparatively nonpoisonous and nonn-

THERE is never a time when a hat,
! moderately broad of brim and with
a crown which is so conservative as to
escape attention, is out Of style. A
shape of this kind with covering of
velvet and facing of crepe or satin,
trimmed with plumes, is about the
most reliable of all millinery. 1t has
no eccentricities, that catch the atten-
ton, but it's grace and elegance and
general becomingness make it always
pleasing.
The hat shown in the illustration is
a superb piece of millinery made of
velvet over frame whose brim droops,
in the gentlest of curving lines, just a
little at the back and front. The fac
ing, of crepe georgette, is a creamy
white. Besides the beauty of rich ma
terial, that of exquisite workmanship
adds it's charm to the fine color-con-
trast of black and white and the pleas
ing lines of the shape Very hand
some ostrich feathers, are used for
the trimming. Such a composition re,
suits in hat dignified and beautiful,
which will harmonic with any color

Another hat which is in the same
class with that pictured has brim
of equal width all around, crown OF
medium size with soft top and fac
ing of the softest shade of coral pink.
1t depends for decoration upon an os-
trich pompon from which springs a
spray of long graceful bird of para
disc feathers, all in shades and tints
of the color in the facing. The brim
droops a little on all sides and the
pink of the lining is partially yelled
by a border of black lace which man
ages to stray over the edge of the
brim, where it seems to be in easy
and irregular festoons.
To some compilations this facing of
pink is much more becoming than a
facing of white. One should expert
ment with color before using it. But
if a doubt disturbs the mind, in Sc
