Army Mules Eat All But Rocks
and Rope.

Field Headquarters, May 49,
by army motor truck to Columbus,
N. NJ, May 20.-The value of the
army mule, endangered momen-
tarily by automobile trucks, has
been vindicated by the results Of
this campaign.
The mules proved more hardy
than horses in the bandit chases.
They were better able to live off
the country. They ate almost ev-
erything except rocks and one
kind Of rope.
The one rope which they would
not eat was the Mexican lariat,
made Of horsehair. They also
nibbled at trees, dead weeds,
sticks and dirt.

Relief From insect Pests By
Spraying.

Fleas are great annoyance anG
may cause much injury when they
become well established in home
barn or hog-house, according to
L. Haseman Of the College Of Ag.
riculture Of the University Of Mis-.
souri, at Columbia. The fleas usu-
ally breeds around places in which
dogs and cats are permitted, but
in some cases they use trash and
bedding in hog houses and barns
as breeding places.
To control an outbreak of fleas,
first 60 to the source of the troub-
lie, the breeding place. Remove all
bedding, trash and other materials
containing animal wastes and fur
nishing shelter. for their young.
Use coal oil, stock dip or other ma
terials for spraying.
1t may take some time to rid
the place but by preventing the
pest from breeding and by de-
stroying the adults one can soon
get relief.
When it is known that the
blood-sucking fleas are capable of
carrying and distributing the
germs of such deadly human dis
eases as bubonic plague, one will
receive greater inspiration to !
keep these pests under control.
