FISH TO FEED FISH |.
Minnows to Maintain the Exceptionally Gamy Trout
 in Crater Lake.

Superintendent W. c. Steel is ex- perimenting this summer in the pro- pagation in Crater Lake of small fish of the innumerable minnow family. It Is problem not the easiest to solve for, occupying the crater of an extinct volcano, the lake has no shadows; and no streams enter or leave it in which small fish may find refuge. Yet the supply of natural fish food must be considerably and immediately in- creased if the magnificent trout fishing In this lake is to remain at it's pres ent excellence. Minnows must be brought from distant waters under adverse conditions.
 Whether it be from the temperature or the quality of the water is not known, but it is the testimony of ex- perienced anglers that, pound for pound, Crater Lake trout are harder fighters than trout found elsewhere.
 "Ar bund the edge of the lake," said General Superintedent Marx Daniels recently, "there is no foliage to entangle your hook and line, and it is the ideal place for the amateur fisherman. When 1 was there the lake was so clear that you could see to a depth of forty feet. The first fish 1 caught saw take the fly. l saw every motion of his body until l finally landed him on the bank, which only did with the aid of one of the concessioners in the park. I do not know of any other place in the world where an amateur fisherman can swing his fly in any direction without danger of catching it on some twig, and, when he hooks his fish, watch his every motion as he fights for free dom. I agree with Emerson Horgh in every word that he has said about fishing in Crater Lake,"

Efficiency"

From the Republic.
 The longer we contemplate the vic tory of the German forces have won over the Russia while holding Eng land and France at bay in the West and Italy in the South, the more deeply are We impress with the evi- dence of German efficiency it affords. Let us make haste to admit from the point of efficiency no democratic gov ernment on earth could have approa- ched it. For the essence of demo- cratic government is that the rulers should carry out the will of the peo- pie; and, the people being many and the rulers few, all sorts of expedients that take time are resorted to in a democracy in order that the rulers may find out what will is. Hence the importance of the press, of public meetings, of election and referendums They are all devices for the express ion of that popular will the ruler must discover and follow, or fall.

The Eugenic Man.

From the Globe Democrat.
 We are informed upon the author ity of science, which never errs, that the eugenic woman will be taller than the woman of today, plump and we'll rounded, but not fat, and her comp leXion will be ruddy or brown. Just how ruddy or just how brown we are not told but we may permitted to hope that the color will not be to strong in either case. This descrip- tion brings to the mind the picture of a woman of great physical vigor, big and brawny and muscularly ass ertive, and it makes us uneasy. What chance will the eugenic man have with such a splendid creature? The fate of man is already trembling in the balance, so to speak. What will this eugenic female with the swelling biceps do to him? Will she take him across her knee upon occasion, or in an elephantine spirit of playfulness and shake him until his teeth drop out?

SIMPLE RAIL CRIBS FOR CORN

It is not necessary to build elabo- rate corn cribs. Set good posts, eX- tending two feet above the ground, put inverted tin pans on top of the posts and then gbuild a rail crib if no other good material is at hand and put in a floor with boards laid one inch apart. Build up about 10 or 12 feet and cover with boards and then build another. Or lay out lar ger crib base, fatten ends of rails with a sharp axe or adz and nail ends to upright posts or poles and extend the crib for two or more rail lengths but make no wider than rail length. Protect on north side if possible by putting crib near building and then cover. Of course a much better and more permanent corn crib can be built but this is a cheap crib for a small farm. But build crib of some kind, and build it this month.

The Fall of Warsaw.
From the Westliche Post.

From the Westliche Post.
 Next to the admirable strategy of the German-Austrian leaders that brought about the capture of Poland's capitol and now threatens to engulf what is left of the Russian armies, the most remarkable feature of the fall of Warsaw is that Grand Duke Nichols managed to escape from the general debace with his military rep utation unscathed. It is hard to fla thom the reason why the British and French press should still persist in lauding the consummate generaliship of the Russian generalissimo when every event of the last six months has shown up his utter incapacity for leadership. He originated the Rus sian plan of attack that in the early stages of the war carried the Cars armies into Prussia and Hungary, but he could conquer only by vast ma jority in numbers and succumbed whenever confronted by an enemy of equal strength. Since then he has performed marvals of strategy by falling back on one impregnable line of defense after the other only to be ignominiously driven out by the aveng- ing hosts of Germany.

HOGS DYING FROM CHOL-
 ERA SHOULD BE BURNED

Some complaints have reached this office stating that the hog cholerat was being spread from one farm to another by buzzards" said c. l.. Me Arthur, assistant professor of veter- mary science in the College of Agri- culture, Fayetteville. "These large birds can carry hog cholera upon their feet very easily. When dead hogs are not disposed of at once they soon attract buzzards and in devouring the dead animal the feet of the birds be- come covered with cholera infection. From this spot the buzzards fly to other hog pens in the neighborhood, sometimes as much as 10 or 15 miles away. Wherever the birds alight, the germs of cholera are left, and in this way cholera often starts in neigh borhood where hitherto it has been unknown. All of this, however, does not mean that the buzzard should be killed, as this bird is both useful and necessary. What it does mean, how ever, is this-that farmers, losing animals from hog cholera or other infectious disease, should dispose of these animals by burning promptly. Burying will do if it is not possible to burn them, but burning is them uch better plan. By saturating the body with coal oil and starting hot fire directly under it, body can be burn ed with much less trouble than it can be buried"

PASTURE LAND

The shadows fall, a velvet brown, Across a stretch of pasture land; The trees are silent, scarce breath Of wind is stirring. Gods own hand Has smoothed the troubles of the world Away to some far distant shore; What though the echo of a gun Proclaims that somewhere there is
 war?
 The grass is short, and heavy feet Have worn it level with the soil; The cows have cropped, the clover
 blooms
 And, coming from his daily toll, The farmer pauses in the shade, And breathes, perhaps, an honest
 prayer,
 To thank his God for health and peace And summer in a world so fair. When shadows fall, velvet brown, To tell that toll, and day must cease When all the world, it's trees and grass Is covered with a veil of peace Then let our feet, that may be worn, Pause for bit, that we may stand Among the cows, and send a prayer To God from his own pasture land.

In most places hellebore is obtainahle in 100-pound lots at cost of II cen+e a pound. This makes the cost of the treatment a little less than seven tenths ot cent per bushel of manure A liberal estimate of the output of manure is two bushels a day per horse. The money involved is. there fore, trifling in comparison with the benefits to the individual and the community from the practical elimi- inaton of the spreading fly.
 Although fresh manure is the fa- vorite breeding spot flies lay their eggs in other places as well, such as outhouses, refuse piles, etc. In these places, from which no manure is taken to spread on the fields, consid erable saving may be effected through the subsctitution of borax for powder led hellebore. Applied at the rate of O.62 pounds per bushels of manure. borax is as ecective as powdered hel lebore in killing the larvae. but costs less than half cent for each bushel of manure treated. In larger uuan- titles, however, or when the manure itself is spread at a greater rate than 10 tons to the acre, some damage to crops may result. Large quantities Of manure are often used by market gardeners and others, and there is al ways danger of carlessness in apply ing the borax. The use of the more expensive but safer hellehore is there fore recommended for the treatment of manure. Borax is recommended for all other refuse in which flies may lay eggs.
 Scientists who have been working for years to eliminate the fly are con. vinced that the use of one or the oth- er of these simple measures is pub lie duty wherever manure and refuse exist. Sanitarians, however, strong ly advise the removal of refuse heaps or other unnecessary rubbish or breed ing places for flies. In breeding places which cannot be thus disposed of-such as manure or stables-the daily use of powdered hellebore will keep the files from breeding in these favorite breeding grounds. The best results are obtainable in a communi- ty where everyone cleans up his pre- mises, traps or kills the flies, and systematically treats the manure and other breeding places with powdered hellebore.
 "The fly is not only a nuisance to human beings and live stock; it spreads disease and filth and is a menace to public health which cannot be tolerated in the face of a demon strated remedy. Details of the ex- periments with other information on the subject arec ontained in a profes- sional paper, Bulletin 245 of the Unit ed States Department of Agriculture"

DESTROY THE FLY

,nohr bve. here's a fly" to her infant ho changes the second line of the pld nursery song to read Let us wat him. you and l." The common
 av is no longer an object of s,oront interest, but has become an sh;oc+ of hatred and distrust. He IS ,rown to be the principal factor in the distribution of the germs of typhoid
 Especially is he regarded as the snemv of the body, as there is reason believe that he carries about the .arms of summer diarrhea and leaves hom bebind him, with other filth, |vben he lights on the nipple of the Feeding bottle, or crawls over the .oucer of cereal, or falls in the milk rbus he is a real danger, not only to ba babv but to the whole, family, and every effort should be made to lo away with him.
 Flies may be kept out of the house to considerable extent by using screens at the doors and windows, and those that get inside may be trapped. noisoned. or swatted. But better than anv of these methods is to destroy khe flies in the larval stage, and thus preyent them from matching. The Following information is furnished by khe Department of Agriculture:
 "A safe and effective weapon kgainst the typhoid or house-hy has been found in powdered hellebore by scientists of the Department of Az kiculture. Flies lay their eggs chief v in stable manure Powdered helle- bore mixed with water and sprinkled bver the manure, will destroy the lar kae which are matched from the eggs. Since powdered hellebore is readily bbtainable, this puts in the hands of everyone a remedy for one of the pests that has been found dangerous bs well as troublesome. Powdered hellebore, however. will not kill adult flies, which must be swatted or Trapped.
 It has been long known that flies breed in manure but previous methods bf destroying the larvae there by the nse of strong chemicals have been bpen to the objection that the treat ment under some conditions lessened the fertiliZing value of the manure or hctually injured vegetation. This is bot true of powdered hellebore. Civ Fnment experiments have shown that Ehe hellebore is entirely decomposed n the course of the fermentation of he manure and that even in excessive quantities 1t does nc harm except to he larvae it is intended to destroy. lhlckens picking in manure treated With 1t suffer no ill effects.

REUNION OF THE
 UNION LIGHT GUARD
B0dyguard of President Lincoln Will gather at Encampment of Grand Army of the Republic September 17-OctOber 24.

Washington, D. C., Aug. 9.-A re- union of the Union Light Guard. which was the bodyguard of President Lin coln for two years during the civil war, is planned in Washington during the encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, September 27-Octo- Der 2.
 While conversing with Secretary of War Stanton in 1863 the Governor of Ohio offered to obtain a bodyguard for President Lincoln. Secretary Stanton accepted the offer. The gov ernor- therefore asked for a picked man from each county in Ohio, but did not say what the service was to be.
 Each man thought he was going to the front, or to lead "forlorn hope" and he gave his life when he enlist ed, and it was accepted as a sacrifice to his country. When the soldiers arrived in Washington they were in- formed they were to be the bodyguard of President, and they served as such until after the war closed.
 They were quartered upon the el- lipse south of the Treasury, and some of them were on guard every hour, two hours being the limit for each day and night, winter and summer. There were 1OS ment in the company, and nearly every county was represent ed; a few being slow in responding, the deficiency was made up from other counties. They were mustered in at Columbus, Ohio, December IT, 1863, and their enlistment was for three years of war.
 The mastering officer was Capt. Elmer Otis, 4th United States Caval- ny. They left for Washington Dec ember P, 1863, and reported to the Secretary of War, learning for the first time their mission.
 The soldiers were not all kept about the White House, but were at times in Virginia. below Alexandria, and along the river to point opposite Georgetown, scattered about Wash ington and the forts surrounding the city, but always a goodly number was kept on duty about the White House.
 After being mustered out of service the members scattered, and it has been difficult to trace them, but at the en- campment of the c. A. R. in Toledo in 1908 nine gathered and effected an organization with Lieut.. George c. Ashmun as president and Robert w. Mcbride as secretary.
 It was decided that a more thorough search should be made to locate the missing members, so that they might have the privilege of touching el- bows" again in peaceful organiza- tion. Last year there was a meeting of the survivors in Detroit, Mich, and another meeting will be called in September during the c. A. R. en- campment here.
