easily put into effect on small farms
and in diaries. In the southern states
the herds should be gone over early in
December and about twice later at
monthly intervals. In the northern
states the extraction should be begun
six weeks to two months later. If no
grubs are allowed to drop to the
ground and reach maturity, the num-
Der appearing in cattle in subsequent
years will be materially reduced, and
if extraction is followed up for several
years almost complete eradication will
result. OF course it is important
where possible to get concerted ac-
ton among the stockmen in the de-
struction of these pests.
In extensive experiments along this
line in Germany it was determined that
the cost Of removing all of the warblesl
from the backs OF cattle during one
season was about three cents per head.
In this case men were employed es-l
pecially to do the work. 1t is possible,
for practically every farmer and dairy,
man in this country to accomplish this
work without material expense or loss
OF time.
1t is suggested that in those COM
munities where cow-testing associa-
lions have been formed the men
charged with this work could in many
cases devote part of their time to edu-
eating the stock raisers as to the
losses caused by OK MARBLES, and to
aiding the members of the association
in destroying the pests.
Investigations conducted by the de-
partment indicate that eradication
also may be accomplished by the use
OF arsenical dips, which are extensive
ly employed at the present time for
destroying cattle ticks. These inves-
LEGATIONS are being extended, and ex-
perimental work is in progress which
it is hoped may establish effective and
practicable methods OF destroying war.

Keep your head said Brouillard
coolly. "Massingale explained that /

that the bar wasn't any such bonanza

proved that. too. by washing some
more of it without getting any more

Don't let the fever get hold of you,
Grislow. Don't forget that we are

reaching and of a good bit greater
consequence than a dozen placer

down good and hard. If would jump
in and pull every possible string to
hurry the railroad over-the range, and
keep on pulling them, the secret of
the placer bar would remain a secret.

METAL COLORS RARELY SEEN
Some Light Waves Absorbed, Others
Refiected-Copcer Is Really
Salnon-Pink Shade.

One of the beautiful things we sell
dom see is the color of pure metals.
When exposed to the air most metals
tarnish so rapidly that our only means
to get even a passing glimpse of their
true color is by quickly scraping off
the corroded surface.
The color of metals depends upon
the selective absorption Of light waves
of different lengths. For instance. if
a metal absorbs every light wave ex-
cept that of the length which pro-
duces the optical sensation yellow,
then its color is yellow, for what it
cannot absorb it reflects. Gold is
such a metal. On the other hand,
when gold is beaten to such thinness
that it becomes translucent, it trans
mits not yellow light rays, but those
which it formerly absorbed, namely
a greenish blue mixture.
Silver is the best example of large
class of metals that reflect practically
all the light they receive, and are
therefore approximately of the same
color as the light to which they are
exposed. From their color in the sun
light they are quite properly called
white" metals. Some of these are
aluminium, magnesium, nickel, sodium,
tin. iron and antimony.
Others. like lead, cadmium and
zinc, have something of this silver
luster, but with a slight blush tinge.
The gray metals, such as manganese
and cobalt. probably owe their lack of
color to their tendency to absorb all
colors in about equal amounts. Bis
muth is of a peculiar light red and
potassium has a pinkish tinge. Cop
per. strange to say, is not "copper"
cclored," but is usually described as
salmon-pink.
