On this line, opposite each pail, are
placed three potatoes or tennis balls.
Each player tries to throw the pota-
toes or balls opposite his pail into his
pail. one at time.
II he misses he must retrieve his p0-
tato and throw 1t again from the balk
line until he has all three in the pail.
He may do all his retrieving Of misses
at one time or as he misses, just as he
prefers. AS soon as either partner
succeeds in this. but not sooner. he
can help out his teammate by going
behind his pail and throwing back to
him his missed potatoes or balls. but
not otherwise assist him.
A team cannot race back to the start
ing point till it has all its potatoes in

"swat the fy!"
This legend should he written on the
wall Of every mothers room, to re-
mind her constantly that one of the
great services she can render her baby
is to protect him and his food from
flies.
Every female fly may lay about 100
eggs at time, which hatch in ten days
into full grown flies, SO that every
female fly which is not destroyed will
be increased many million by the end
Of the season. It is an impossible task
to destroy them at this stage or to pro-
tect the house and family against them.
The only really effective results are
secured when the eggs are destroyed.
The favorite breeding places of the
common housefy is in horse manure.
In pile of thousand pounds there
may be half million maggots ready
to hatch, unless they are destroyed in
the larval stage, as the eggs are called.
Various substances have been sug-

order to destroy the fly maggots.
Among these are iron sulphate, kero-
sene, chloride of lime. hellebore and
bOrax.
The United States department of ag-
riculture has recently recommended
powdered hellebore as cheap, safe
and effective substance for the treat
ment of manure. 'One-half pound Of
powdered hellebore mixed with ten gal
Ions of water is sufficient to kill the
larvae in eight bushels, or ten cubic
feet, of manure. In most places helle-
bore is obtained in 100 pound lots ut a
cost of II cents pound. This makes
the cost of the treatment little less
than seven-tenths of cent per bushel
Of manure. A liberal estimate Of the
output of manure is two bushels day
per horse.'

FOR CLOVER ON THIN SOIL.

Ohio Farmers Have Been Using Straw
For Securing Stands With Success.
A number Of years the best farmers
in certain portion Of Ohio have been
using straw to secure stand Of clover
in manner which is both niQue and
positively astonishing in its results
Independent Of all agricultural colleges
or experiment stations, some wide
awake man in that community discov-
cred that by spreading straw on his
wheat in the fall soon after sowing he
could the following March secure u
stand Of clover without fail.
1t all happened from the fact that
some keen observer whose eyes had
been sharpened by years of close study
Of the big book of nature as seen be-
tween the plow handles had noticed
that where there was straw protecting
the thin, worn soils on the hillside the
young clover plants would hold their
own and develop, where on the same
clay spots where there was no straw or
trash the young plants would never
grow. This led to the spreading of
straw wherever the man wanted clO-
yer, and he noticed that year after year
he secured stands Of clover ON fields
with his wheat, where otherwise he
would have secured nothing.
For twelve years he kept this up un-
til one day a man from the experiment
station happened to discover his dis
covery'' and gave this information to
the rest of the world. 1t is scarcely
ever known to fail and should be fol-
lowed by the man who has trouble get
ting stand Of clover.-Iowa Home

~OMETIMES when a woman takes
- up the problem Of house i'm
~ nishing she has to buy every.
thing new from the beginning.
and sometimes she already has more
or less complete equipment which she
hopes to improve gradually-that is, to
continue the comparison with the fac
tory, she has to do with ''going con-
Germ" In either case she must study
the situation carefully and make sure
Of what she most wants before she be-
gins to buy. 1t is impossible for her to
select to the best advantage unless she
has all the principal needs in mind to
begin with and goes at the task sys-
tematically. Haphazard buying is al
ways extravagant and nowhere more
SO than in connection with house fur
nishings. There is such bewildering
variety of things to be used in house
that unless the housekeeper keeps a
clear idea of what she wishes most
and plans her buying carefully she will
find herself getting things which,
though useful, are not the most useful
or are not the best adapted to her par
ticular needs. Two dining tables may
be equally good Of their kind, but one
may be much better adapted to a par
ticular house and family than the other.
II it is case Of furnishing house en-
tirely with new things it is wise to go
slowly and learn from experience what
will best suit the special conditions.
even IL this prevents putting the whole
house completely in order at once. For
ones belongings f1t into the built-in
cupboards before deciding whether to
buy sideboard or china closet.
If only limited amount of money
can be spent at one time, it would
probably be better to leave an extra
bedroom unfinished or do without an
extra rug than to 'skimp" on the
quality of the necessary things. When
it is merely question of renewing or
increasing old equipment. the thought
full housekeeper considers the value of
each article in connection with what
she has or expects to have as well as
by itself. II she has no convenient
cupboard for her ironing supplies, an
ironing table Of the settle type with a
box under the seat may be more serv-
iceable than the ordinary kind; and II
she expects to get new set of table
dishes soon and can then use some Of
the old ones in the kitchen. 1t is poor
policy to stock up unnecessarily with
kitchen ware.
In order to buy in accordance with q
definite plan she must often steel her
self against the allurements Of bargain
counters or Of beguiling statesmen. not
because the wares they offer are not
intrtnsically good or cheap. but because
In spite Of being good or cheap they
may not be what she really needs
most. 1t is poor economy for her to
buy sheets which will not be used for
several years instead Of napkins which
IRE needed at once, simply because the
sheets happen to be a few cents cheaper
than usual. or to be persuaded to take
