CONTROLLING THE HEssIAN FLY

That the Hessian fly can be sue
cessfully controlled by practical
methods has been demonstrated in
Harvey county. Under the leader
ship Of F. P. Lane, county agent for
the Harvey county farm bureau, a
large number of farmers were organ
lied last summer and fall to fight the
fly.
Methods of control advocated by
Mr.. Lane were those devised and rec
commended by the department Of en-
tomology in the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college-to thoroughly pre-
pare the seed bed, destroy the volun-
teer wheat, and plant on or about the
fly-free date, which in Harvey county
is October s or 8. A large per cent
of the wheat acreage of the county
was planted according to these d.
rections, although the weather con-
ditions hindered the work consider
ably.

TO TRAP THE cow FLIES

Talk about swatting flies-which
everybody is now doing-Charlie
Johnson of Colony has scheme that
beats them all. He has devised a
cow-fiy trap. 1t is an ingenious con-
trivance, four feet square. 1t is to
be set into a gate so that the cows
can be driven through it. AS the COW
passes through the trap, the flies are
swept off by a clever arrangement Of
brushes. The exit door automatically
closes as the cow passes out and the
flies, seeking way out, pretty soon
find themselves in a cage at the top
of the trap, reaching the cage by a
funnel which the foolish creatures can
never find again. Mr.. johnson says
he has tested 1t out hundred times
and that it will catch ninety per cent
of the flies that were on the COW
when she entered the trap. His idea
is to have the trap built into the gate
by which the cows enter and leave
the pasture, 80 that going out in the
morning they will get rid of the barn
yard flies, and coming back in the
evening they will get rid Of the pas
ture flies. And he has sneaking
idea that it may be possible to set
up the trap in the open and teach
the COWS to come up Of their own
accord and walk through it when the
flies begin to poster them! He has
applied for a patent and believes the
invention will appeal powerfully to
the dairyman. And here's hopin' it
does.-Iola Register.

TYPHOID INSURANCE ONLY SIS
tFrom the State Board of Health
Bulletin.

Bulletin.)
Typhoid fever, prevalent at this
season Of the year, attacked about g.
900 people in Kansas last season, and
killed 1876 citizens Of the state during
1915. The cost of case of typhoid
fever is about SITS, SO the disease
cost the people of the state last year
something like $35O,O0O. Typhoid
fever is caused by germ that comes
from the body of some one who has
or has had typhoid fever and harbors
the germs in his body. Where there
are no germs carried in filth there
can be no typhoid. Everyone should
understand that this is wasteful,
dangerous disease, which is primarily
due to carelessness. If filth from the
human body Is not disposed of with
the greatest care, it will be carried
by flies, get on food or be washed
into water, and the germs 1t contains
will reach the mouth of some healthy
person. Yet experience has shown
typhoid to be a disease that can be
prevented by following a few simple
rules. These are.
Have sanitary, f1y-proof privy on
your place and see that everybody
uses it; protect your well or spring
from pollution; screen your house
against flies, and where possible keep
them from breeding; fight typhoid by
care and cleanliness; do not eat or
drink anything that comes from a
home where there is typhoid; II you
have typhoid in your home do not
sell food products which will convey
infection to others. Above all, re-
member that IT, youskeep. the. germs
that leave the body from reaching
the body of. someone else, you have
stopped typhoid.
You should be vaccinated and pro-
tected against typhoid. 1t costs about
SIS to be vaccinated, and it is a cheap
insurance. Ten thousand persons
have been vaceinated in Kansas in
the last year and there has been no
evil effects in single instance. Be
vaccinated by your physician. Vac
cination free to persons unable to
pay for the same. Bacteria furn-
ished by the state board of health on
application to the county health Of
ficer.

ing slip" The preparation Of these

is an expensive proposition, yet there
appears to have been no effort ON the
part Of previous administrations to
progress from the old method. I'm
der present direction perforated
label in sheets and runs has been de-
signed which is practically ready for
use when furnished to employees.
Every postal clerk In, the country and
thousands Of post-office employees
will find this new method of great
advantage and 1t will result in q
large economy in the service.
There have also been some other
notable improvements made, viz,
substitioution of steel where brass
was formerly used, at very consid-
cradle lessening Of expense; a device
for fastening foreign mail pouches,
doing away with the old-fashioned
method of string and seal; scheme
for saving Irvine by means of a sim
pie holder which permits free and
easy use without waste, and a fiex-
ible stamp design, for which the con-
tract price was "a cents, but which
will now be made at cost of but 8
cents. A mechanical pickup or fac
ing table for use in facing and stack
ing letters in first-class post offices
has also been developed and will
soon be perfected. This device is
considered superior to those now in
use and costs less than one-third as
much to manufacture. Those at pres
ent in use cost approximately $1,000.
1t will thus be seen that the activi-
ties of the Post Office Department
have been conferred along lines which
will not only produce large econo-
mics to the people Of the country, but
will also prove great convenience
to those in the service. During the
past three years two objects have
been kept constantly in view, viz,
saving the public money wherever
possible and serving the people to the
fullest extent. There was room for
great improvement and there has
been much accomplished. It Is but
common justice to award due credit

GIVE BABY A FIGHTING CHANCE

Keep cool, don't get 80 hot" we
say to an angry man, thus showing
we know the relation between tenn
perature and temper. And we take
it for granted that children are going
to get cross in hot weather. They
do, but it is usually some adults
fault.
When children naturally and JOY
fully take cold bath under the hose
they are scolded. When they take
off their shoes and paddle in puddle
they are punished. But they are only
reducing their temperature instinc-
lively. They are only doing for them
selves in the easiest way what their
guardians should manage in a better
way-if they can find one.
In July the demand for little white
collins is heavier than in any other
month of the year. Hundreds would
not be required If parents would take
care to meet the temperature half
way Put away the notion that an
open window means draft. Don't
be fraid that If you take off the chill
dren's petticoats they are going to
take cold. Unless they are already
below normal physically, and ready
to catch anything, the children will
have a hard time taking cold when
the thermometer climbs above 80.
Make 1t a rule that they may go
barefoot in the hottest hours of the
day. Put on sandals if the premises
are not assuredly raked nail clean.
Let the small folks, even baby, have
plenty of cool, but not iced water.
The offensive is supposed to have the
advantage in any battle. Meet the
heat half way.-Toledo News-Bee.

THE FARM TRACTOR

In the course Of a, recent address
George B. Ross. president OF the
Kansas State Board of Agriculture,
expressed the belief that the farm
tractor is the greatest aid to agricul-
tural development in western Kan
sas. 1t makes possible the prepara-
ton Of a larger acreage Of land In
much shorter time, said Mr.. Ross,
enabling the farmer to take advant-
age Of the condition of the soil when
1t is in proper working order, thereby
saving and conserving the moisture,
as we'll as having the land in condi-
ton to receive and retain the subse-
quent rains, which invariably insures
a good fall stand Of wheat. The farm
tractor may be run night and day
without any material loss of time,
while in undertaking to farm so ex-
tensively with horses, when the rush
comes 1t is necessary to take soft and
uuDTOhou uOIbcb, WHICH, 1T UebL CdH
be used only a few hours each day,
and then are greatly annoyed by flies,
sore shoulders and the danger of be-
coming overheated.
Mr.. Ross called attention to the
fact that one-fourth of the counties
situated in the central third of Kan
sas have more than one-fourth of the
total wheat acreage in the entire
state of 105 counties. He said:
"Then, too, think of the western
third, which is the richest and most
fertile portion of the state, when
proper moisture can be secured, and
yet it is almost undeveloped in agri-
culture and is only awaiting the
careful and conservative hand Of the
scientific farmer, with his farm trac-
tor, whereby he can do larger vol
ume of labor with a less expenditure
of time"

j. R. Bolin left Tuesday on No. 4
for Hutchinson. The family left the
same day in their car and will make
the drive overland. The Bolins will
make their home in Hutchinson from
now on, where it will be more con-
venient for Mr.. Bolin to look after
the interests Of the grain and mill
business of his firm. The people Of
Liberal will regret exceedingly to
see this family leave the town, but
will join us in hoping that they like
their new home and prosper finan-
cially.

THE MODERATE DRINKER
The moderate drinker is never

well, hardly ever-visibly intoxicat-
ed. He does not stagger about nor
draw crowd on the streets, insult
people or otherwise make a beastial
exhibition Of himself; nothing so low
as that, of course. Oh, yes, once or
twice a year perhaps, at an anniver-
sary, or seeing a friend off, he may
talk a trifie thick, say things he is
heartily ashamed of when reminded
of them, and be trifie wabbly on his
pins, but surely no worse than that
The little he takes certainly cannot
hurt" He is almost always a con-
genial man, a good fellow, one of a
coterie that have from youth been
comrades. v,
1t is such a moderate drinker who
oftentimes has the sadly diminished
life expectancy after 40. Take two
score such: one drops out of the
circle from acute indigestion, accord
ing to the death certificate; another a
year or two afterward from Bright's
disease; another soon after from a
liver gone wrong, and then one most
unexpectedly from pneumonia-"s
strong he. seemed, and SO fiorid Of
face" Queer how those funerals
come on so soon, one after another,
among men every one of whom you
would think should have been good
for at least threescore and ten. At
so few of that once considerable
company remain, and after each fun
eral the survivors get together and,
while alphabetically and heartily
recounting the bonhomie and the vir-
tues of the deceased, take all, most
fervently, a few rounds Of good old
stuff to his memory. '"'.
Odd, is 1t not, that in such circum-
stances alcohol is never suspected to
be the underlying cause of those
premature deaths; that it has made
the body susceptible to, has predis-
posed it to those fatal diseases? This
alcohol does by disorganizing the
body's natural defenses.
Apropos Of these observations are
data collected by forty-three Ameri-
can life insurance companies, cover
ing an experience of twenty-five
years, as follows: individuals who
took two glasses of beer or a glass
of whisky or an equivalent amount
of alcohol in any form, each day,
showed a mortality of Is per cent
higher than the average of the group.
The mortality among those who had
INDUCED in occasional excuses pre-
vious to their application for life in
surance was so per cent higher than
the average, which means loss of
four years to each life. Men who &C.
knowledge the habit of INDUCING
somewhat freely, but who were still
considered acceptable for insurance,
showed a mortality SO per cent high
er than the average.-Dr. John B.
Huber in Golfers Weekly.
