ENTRY CLERKS ARE BUSY.

The assistants in the office of the
secretary Of the South Dakota State
Fair are extremely busy these days
taking care CT the entries in various
departments as rapidly as they come
in. Each entry must be copied on an
entry book and transferred to entry
tags. which must be reserved for the
exhibitor. Each entry has a separate
number and the amount of work con-
nected with the records Is enormous.
Last year there were 5000 entries in
six departments alone. Counting all
departments there rel probably more
than 5000 entries. This number will
doubtless be exceeded at the 1916 ex-
position, IL one, may Judge by the in
creased number Of inquiries which
have arrived at the secretary's Office
earlier In the seaso than ever before.

MEANS OF CONTROLLING HOUSE
AND LAWN ANTS

The distinctively DISCRIMINATING
ants, such as the little red or Phara.
obs ant, and other imported species
nesting in the woodwork, masonry,
or articles of furniture, etc, are of.
ten very difficult to eradicate because
of their inaccessibility. Ii the nest
can be located by following the work
ers back to their point of disappear
ance, the inmates Of the nest, if near
by, may sometimes be reached by in
Getting a little bisulphid of carbon,
kerosene, or gasoline into the open
ing by means Of IN oil can or small
syringe. In the use of these sub
stances, naturally, precautions should
be taken to see that no fire is present,
as all of them are inflammable. If
the nest Is under flooring it may
sometimes be gotten at by removing
q section; but, as a rule. unless the
colony can thus be reached and des.
temporary avail If food or other con
diti0ns continue to attract the ants
and facilitate their continued breed
ing in the house.
The collection of ants by use Of at
tractive bats is frequently recon-
mended. Perhaps as convenient a
bait as any consists OF small sppnges
mOistened with sweetened water and
placed in situations where they can
be easily reached by the ants. These
sponges may be collected several
times daily and the ants swarming on
them destroyed by immersion in hot
water. 1t is reported also that a
strip made by dissolving borax and
sugar in boiling water and distribut-
cd on sponges will effect the destruc
tiOn of the ants in numbers. Rem
edies of this kind, however, are OF
doubtful value. They may be use.
full at the outset when the colonies
are few and small and when most OF
the individuals may, by these means
be secured and destroyed. Very FIRE.
quently, however, the distribution OF
such bats will simply result in /
more wide exploitation of a good for
age ground and an actual increase o.
THE ant nuisance.
A more efficient remedy, where i
~ be safely used, is a strip poison
ed with arsenate Of soda, the idea be.
Ing that the ants will collect thi,
poison strip and convey it to Their
nests, SO that not only the ant.
which collect the strip are ultimate
u killed, but the inmates Of nest
feeding on it also snccumb. Tn
formula for the preparation of thi
strip is as follows: One pound 0
sugar dissolved in a quart OF water
80 which should be added 1875 grain
Of arsenate Of soda. The mixtur,
should be boiled and strained, and OIL
cooling 10 used with sponges, as al
ready described. The addition Of
small amount Of honey is said TO ad!
TO the attractiveness to ants Of thi
mixture. Naturally the greatest pre-
cautions should be taken in prepar
ing this sirup and In safeguarding !
afterwards TO prevent ito being tn
cause Of poisoning to human beings
Similar success has been rep0rte
