PROTECT STOCK FROM FLIES
Department Of Agriculture Recom'
mends Mixture of Soap and kero-
sene-Use Spray or Wash.

(By CHARLES 1. 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 a preventive. There are num-
Der Of methods sometimes recommends
ed for this purpose, some of which are
supposed to keep flies of 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 fiies
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-half
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 spray, dip
or wash.

Genuine Heroism.

The characteristic of genuine hero
ism is its perslstency. All nen have
wandering impulses, fits and starts OF
generosity. But when you have re-
solved to be great. abide by yourself,
and do not weakly try to reconcile
yourself to the world. The heroic
cannot be the common, nor the COM
mon the heroic. If you would serve
your brother, because it is fit for you
to serve him, do not take back your
words when you find that prudent peo-
ple do not commend you. Be true
to YOUR own act, and congratulate
yourself if you have done something
strange and extravagant, and broken
the monotony of decorous age. It
was a high counsel that | once heard
given to young person: Always
do what you are afraid to do."-Em-
erSon.

CARE IN FAsHIoNING BUGLE
Making of instrument Used in the
Army is Delicate. Complicated
Process.

From start to finish, the making OF
an army bugle is process of much in
genuity and interest. A bugle may not
at first sight present a striking re-
semblance to it's cousin, the coach
horn, but the one is practically
curled-up version of the other, for, be-
fore the bugle is bent into shape. II
consists of a narrow tube, 81 1ncnes
long.
In the first stage of manufacture
the bugle is cut out of sheet copper
and rolled into two thin cylinders,
technically known as the bell ana
the branch" The narrow tube, which
is the "bell." is gradually shaped out
on molds until the opening is the regu-
lar 4-inch diameter. 1t is then spun
on wonderful machine, ana an expert
workman takes the rough edges off the
copper.
Both sections are afterwards filled
with molten lead, preparatory to the
bending stage, and it is this sold
stuffing which prevents the tube break
ing N the process, and allows 1t TO
keep its shape. The expert workman,
with the aid of formidable lever and
hammer. bends the bugle into the IA
miliar shape, the lead being subse-
quently melted out at a charcoal fur
mace, after which the instrument is
sent off to the polishers.
One Of the most intricate parts OF
the bugle is the mouthpiece, which Is
made of nickel silver and turned out
on a special lathe. With the mouth
piece fixed, the instrument is ready
for the testing-room.

Suffrage Inspires a Bril-
liant Voice In New York


In the list of prominent men who spoke
at the big New York demonstration for
Woman Suffrage appears the name Of
that undaunted battler for better gov
eminent, Dudley Field Malone.
No one ever questions his fearlessness
no one doubts his honesty of purpose; and
he leaves lasting impression wherever
he lifts his voice for progress.
When Mr.. Malone came into Michigan
An entire stranger-to organize the
Wilson sentiment in 1911, he encountered
all kinds of obstacles, and was roundly
abused whenever and wherever he APP
peared because of his aggressive presen-
tation of Wilson's fitness for the Demo
cratic nomination for President.
The political crooks called him harsh
names and even threatened him with per-
sonal violence--but they failed to intimi-
date MIR. Malone.
No speaker has appeared on the politi-
cal platform in Michigan with greater
gift of oratory or facility of expression.
Mr.. Malone has fought crooked politi-
clans in Greater New York for years and
has an immense following among those
who stand for deceRcy and responsibility.
The cause of Equal Suffrage is honored
in having the redoubtable Dudley Field
Malone as an advocate.

The removal of the embargo upon

was considered the most desirable and
practical. and was speedily accepted by
parliament. In 1906 he was given the
portfolio of public instruction in the cab
met and alienated many of his friends IN
the socialist party by entering oour-
geoise ministry. In 1909 the Clemenceau
cabinet fell and BRAND became premier
and was thus entrusted with the forma-
ton of a new cabinet by Pres. Fallieres.
When this cabinet fell in 10 months, it
was said that his career was ended, but
he was then given the portfolio Of Justice
at which time he handled the railroad
strike which cut France off from the rest
of the world for an entire week. Most
of the strikers were also members OF the
militia. BRAND called upon the militia to
ouell the strike; if the men donned the
uniform, they could not strike if they did
not. they were guilty of a grave otfenSe.
The socialists considered him traitor to
the cause, but he was introducing into
French politics many of the reforms most
advocated by their platform.
1t is quite logical that, at this critical
moment, the president should turn again
to BRAND. He has shown himself capa-
BILE of handling difficult situations in the
past: his personality is one which appeals
to the French people; he combines eXecu-
tive strength with the sympathetic emo
tionalism so inherent in the French. In
spite of their loss of faith in the past, the
socialists still rally to his call. and his
wonderful eloquence and unusual diplo
macy will go far toward healing any
breach among the different factions in
France.
