BREEDING PLACES FOR FLIES
Treatment Recommended BY United
States Department Of Agriculture \
to Control Insects.

Manure piles are flies favorite
breeding places. If farmers will keep
manure and stable sprinkled with
solution that will kill the larva, flies
need not become numerous. The fol-
lowing treatment, recommended in
United States department OF agricul-
ture bulletin 11S, will control flies and
will make a noticeable reduction in
the number around a given place: Dis
solve three-fourths Of a pound of
borax in two or three gallons of water.
Spray or sprinkle manure piles and
stables with the solution about twice
a week.
This will kill the larva which hatch
from eggs laid in manure. The danger
to human health from flies is sufficient
to make the wise farmer take these
precautions, but if he looks for further
justification it can be found in the pro-
lection of live stock. Human diseases
are spread by flies and live stock are
worried by them. The danger to hui
man welfare must be conceded, but
the loss to live stock is not so easily
seen. Animals which are pestered by
flies will lose flesh, and stable flies rob
them of blood.

MANURE LOSES BY LEACHING
When Rains Fall Much Of Soluble
Plant Food Is Carried Away
Moisture Holds Plant Food.

Farmers have been so accustomed
to throw the manure from the stable
in a pile in the barnyard, and leave it
until it is convenient to haul it to the
fields, that they do not give the mat
ter of loss by washing and teaching
any consideration. Usually but little
of the value of the solids of the ma
nure is lost in the stable, but great
losses occur after it is thrown in a
pile The manure in the stable, sat-
urated by the urine, contains more
than SO per cent water.
The moisture in the manure holds in
solution the greater part of the plant
foods which the manure contains.
When the rains fall upon the manure
the teaching process carries away
much of the soluble plant foods and it
is lost beyond recovery, for it is either
carried away in the water as it flows
on the surface to the streams, or sinks
into the ground where, for all practi-
cal purposes, it is wasted.

crop clover hay, most substantial
winter forage for all stock. By drill
ing early in wide rows and giving
thorough culture, the corn gets an
abundance of sunshine and air, and
has the full benefit of = II plant food.
The stalks have plenty of silica and
are not easily blown down by heavy
wind and rain storms, and there is no
difficulty in harvesting and curing the
crop.
Corn for fodder should never be
sown broadcast or too thick in the
row, as such stalks contain nothing
but water and are worthless for feed.

Baltimore American. Drill one bushel
Of large, sound, selected corn to the
acre; this will allow ten to twelve
grains to the running foot in the AZ
inch rows.
The ground should be in good order.
After drilling roll the field, the corn
can then be worked with the double

grain terminates. Work the crop four
times; thiS will hasten the growth of
corn and clean the weeds and put it
in nice order for fall seeding.
If the ground is mellow and rich.
nearly every stalk will grow single
ear of corn. The time to cut the fod-
der is when the grain is in the dough
and the lower leaves commence to
turn yellow. Cut with the self-rake
reaper, make small bundles, let the
fodder wilt for day or so, then set
up, putting six to eight bundles to
the shock. Make the shock as fol-
lows: Take three armfuls for the
horse, tie securely in the middle, then
set the other five armfuls evenly all

TESTING FERTILITY OF EGGS

Him--Make Sure Feeding Ration

Those who make a speciality of sell

fertility of eggs produced, SO that
poorly fertilized eggs will not be sent
out to customers, necessitating replac-
ing the eggs later and causing delay
in getting young chicks started toward

If the fertility is not good replace
the male bird with another or make
sure that the feeding ration is not re-
