Wednesday Brighton Market

Stock Yds., Oct. 1S.-The mich COW trade
was quite active, more buyers being about
the barns than for two weeks previously.
Purchasers spent a long time picking out
their stock but bought in larger amounts
than for sometime. Prices were about
the same. The choice mixers were a
shade stronger. but all other grades held
at the previous level. There were about
45O cows on sale, 800 of which were tested.
The best cows sold from $S0&125, good
mixers from $65Q90. and ordinary and
medium cows from $4,000. A few cheap
cows were sold at SIS to $S5. The near
settlement of the milk question has
helped the trade. The beef cattle was
dull and inactive. During the past three
weeks, beginning with the falling off of
trade during the Jewish holiday, the
beef market was slow, showing a de
cline in all grades, and as yet it has not
regained it's strength. sales being very
slow and buyers not eager unless prices
were to our satisfaction.

PREDACE0US AND PARASITIC INSECTS
Mans Greatest Allies in Keeping Destructive Insects

Orono, Me-. Oct. 17.-(SpeciaD.-The
Charles d. Woods, director of the
Maine Agricultural Experiment station
at the University of Maine:
The Maine Agricultural Experiment
Station has in the hands Of the public
printer q bulletin mo. 253) in which
there is a rather technical discussion Of
q group of insects which for the past
two years have been the subject Of in
vestieation by Professor Metcan Of the
University Of Ohio, a member of the
summer star Of the Maine Station. The
following about the helpfulness Of GER
tain groups Of insects Is quoted from
the bulletin.
Entomologists are realizing more

economy of the groups OF insects hav.
ing the predaceous or the parasitic
habit. There has long been a strong
suspicion that without these natural
enemies Of insects man would be help
less in combating destructive CROP
pests. The recent great destructive
ness Of certain insects introduced from
foreign countries, followed by the sue
cessful repression Of these pests IN
certain Instances with their natural In
scot enemies (ikeWise introduced from
fcreign lands), has emphatically con-
nrmed this opinion.
There seems to be not the slightest

but by catching and eating dozens or
hundreds Of them. The Coccinellidae
have achieved good deal of popular
interest SC that there is hardly a
school boy but knows the Lady-birds

friends. The 6yEphidae, on; the other
hand, seem 10 be little known and
much misunderstood by the farmer.
This deplorables lack of a better popa-
lar knowledge Of this group il hard to
explain. Perhaps the principal reason
is that they have. been. so little dts.
cussed in chronological and popular
literature; ana the lack Of a good COM
mon name may have had its influence.
Although it gives little or no intima-
ton Of the economic importance OF the
group, and may even be misinterpreteo
as indicating a habit injurious to flow
ers. the name '.Flower-flies" seems TO
be the most satisfactory of the names
in use; because it is based on the most
characteristic habit which is uniformly
true for the adults Of the family: VIZ
that Of visiting flowers for the purpose
Of getting food.
AS contrasted with the Lady-blrds'
the movements Of the Syrphid- larvae
are slow, their colorss subdued anu
their general appearance quite
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS repulsive. Their
elongate fiattened bodies are often
nearly or quite covered lron'
view by the aphids or theif
secretions. They are consequently US
ually overlooked or ignored; or the
adults prosecuted as "sweat-bees' un-
der the wholly erroneous idea that they
can sting; or. worse still, the mes may
be accused Of being responsible for the
presence Of the lice on the plants. OF
the larvae for the damage resulting
from the p!ant-lice.
In spite Of their lack of popular rec
ognition, both Professor Metcalf ana
Doctor Patch are convinced, as the re-
suit Of several years study OF enis
group, that in Maine, the Flower-dies
are a more important enemy OF aphlds
than are the Lady-bird Beetles, and
that probably they are the most I'M
portant of the natural enemies OF
aphids.
The present bulletin deals with only
one of the groups Of insect enemies OF
aphids,-the Syrphidae. Its aim has
been to elucidate the life-economy OF
these little understood Flower-fiies, SO
that the agriculturist may come to look
upon them as his friends and give them
his well deserved protection. And that
as a basis for fostering and increasing
their numbers we may have an init
mate knowledge Of their structure
habits and transformations. And since
the larval habits are very diverse, not
all being enemies of aphids and few
quite injurious, it has been deemed
important to study all the species OF
whatever larval habit so that we may
learn to distinguish the injurious and
the beneficial ones

WORK OF STATE DEMOCRATIC
CENTRAL COMMITTEE

(By Senator Chas. r. Barrett.)
What board Of directors is to a
business corporation, the State Cen
tral Committee IS to a political party.
The members are the men responsible
for the management and success OF the
organization. There is difference
however, between a state committee
man and director Of a corporation.
Directors are, asia rule, well paid for
their services. Committeeman get no
pay, give their services out Of loyalty
to the party's interests and are rarely,
If ever, rewardedtby anything more at
tractive than some honorary position
in the party without pay.
The. chairman, secretary and treas
urer of the state committee are prima-
riiy selected for their efficiency and
special beliefs along the line Of organ
ization, administration and success in
securing financial support for the par
ty and the party candidates. y tue
of their office they are usually made
ex-officio members OF the campaign
and practically the whole burden Of the
campaign for party issues and the
election Of the party ticket falls on
their shoulders.
Political parties draw on the loyalty
and patriotism Of members and select
men to discharge these thankless
tasks and it must be said for the men
who have in time past given their SER
vice to the cause of Democracy in
this state that no more loyal and un-
selfish men were ever enlisted in a

TRAP THE ELY

The fly is an intruder in the house.
They do not belong in the house.
They were not born in your house.
Flies breed in filth, and every one of
them can trace his birthplace back to
some rotting bit Of organic matter.
The one that you rescue from the
butter or milk or that plays about on
the baby's bottle, or sports on the
food on your table was born in garb-
age or stable refuse, and came from
those places Of filth into your house,
so it is a mistake to set the trap in
the house.
Set it in the yard, and let it guard
your house by catching the flies be-
fore they get to the door.
Flies are the filthiest and most dan
gerous insect known to man. They
are born in filth, bred in filth, and
carry filth with them wherever they
go, whether it be to the baby's bottle,
to the market, to the dairy, or to your
table.
They leave a trail of filth and death
behind them.
In Florida they are responsible for
the spread Of more than rs per cent
Of typhoid fever, as well as other dis
eases.
The great secret Of how to get rid
Of flies is by wholesale trapping Of the
breeders.
The city will pay cents a quart
for all the flies delivered.
