PROTECT CATTLE.
FROM FLIES
EXPERIMENTS PROVE THE PRAC-
TicAl VALUE OF SPRAYING.
lNCRE ASE MILK FLOW
The Dairy Herd Can Be Rid Of Flies
At Little Cost.

College Park, June 14.-In connec'
production, farmers are finding the
more efficient care and feeding Of live
stock already In their possession fully
as important as increasing the num-
Der. One OF the most mischievous
pests affecting livestock and reducing
production is the fly. This is particu.
larly true of milk production in warm
weather when as is well known tho
6ow Of milk is seriously affected by
the presence Of biting flies. In con-
nection with experiments conducted at
the Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station in 1916, by E. N. Cory and
R. H. Ruffner the possibility of keep
ing dairy cattle free from flies by
spraying with an emulsion Of pine tar.
creosote and water was demonstrated.
In regard to spraying for flies, Mr..
Cory says, this material does not in.
jure the hide or hair or the exposed
mucous membranes OF the cattle even
with daily applications. 1t moreover,
does not mat or gum the hair as 1t Is
readily washed off by rains.
The material did not affect the quail
ity Of butter nor impart any appreci-
able faint flavor or odor to the milk
as coal tar preparations are reported
to do.
Attendants must be careful not to
directly affect the milk through milk
ing when their hands are soiled with
the emulsion. Its cost is approximately
one-half cent per COW, per day, includ-
ing all labor. The time Of one man
using a compressed air, automatic
knapsack pump should not exceed Is
minutes per day for a herd Of 20 cows,
The sprayer should be fitted with q
thres-foot extension rod and an angle
nozzle to facilitate the work,
The increase in milk fully warrants
the use of the material. The average
production Of nine cows during the
period from August 11.21 inclusive,
when they were not sprayed was 1859
lbs. During the subsequent period
from August % to August 31st inclu-
siye when the same cows were sprayed
daily they produced 1929 pounds. This
was an average Increase Of 2.70 pounds
per cow at cost Of half cent per
cow.
Aside from any increased production
with this practice, the elimination Of
possible disease carrying flies, justifies
the work The emulsion may be made
in any quantity and will keep indef-
nitely. Dissolve 2 pounds of Caustic
soda in l gallon Of water; stir into 1t
3 gallons of cresote and add cold water
to make up 100 gallons.
During the mixing, stir vigorously
and stir the emulsion each time before
using.
For further information write to the
Maryland Agricultural Extension Serv-
ice, College Park, or consult your
County Demonstration Agent.

what am telling. When we parted
from him in st. Thomas harbor, at the
end of our cruise, was more sorry
than I can tell. was very glad to
meet him again in 1880; and later In
life, when I thought had some In
fiuence in Washington, moved heav'
EN- and earth to have him discharged.
But it was like getting ghost out OF
prison. They pretended there was no
such man. and never was such man.
They will say 80 at the department
now! Perhaps they do not know. II
will not be the first thing in the serv'

to know nothingI
There is story that Nolan met
Burr once on one of our vessels. when
a party Of Americans came on board
in the Mediterranean. But this I be-
lieve to be q lie; or rather, 1t Is a
myth, ben trovato, involving a ire
mendOus blowing-up with which ne
sank Burr, asking him how he liked
to be without a country" But 1t Is
clear, from Burrs life, that nothing
of the sort could have happened; and
I mention this only as an Illustration
of the stories which get a-going where
there is the least mystery at bottom,
So Philip Nolan had his wish full
filed. Poor fellow, he repented OF his
folly, and then. like a man, submitted
to the fate he had asked for, He new
er Intentionally added to the difficulty
or delicacy of the charge of those who
had him In hold. Accidents would
happen; but they never happened from
his fault. Lieutenant Truxton told me
that when Texas was annexed, there
was a careful discussion among the
officers, whether they should get hold
OF Nolan's handsome set OF maps, and
cut Texas out Of it, from the map
Of the world and the map Of Mexico.
The United States had been cut out
when the atlas was bought for him.
But it was voted rightly enough, that
to do this would be virtually to reveal
to him what had happened. or, as
Harry Cole said, to make him think
Old Burr had succeeded. So 1t was
from no fault of NOlan's that great
botch happened at my own table, when.
for q short time, was in command OF
the George Washington corvette, on
the South American station. We were
lying In the La Plata, and some OF the

laxative mood. Some story of tum-
BILE reminded him of an adventure Of
his own. when he was catching wild
horses in Texas with his brother Steph-
en-, at q time when he must have been
quite boy. He told the story with
a good deal Of spirit-so much so, that
the silence which often follows a good
story hung over the table for an in
slant, to be broken by Nolan himself.
For he asked, perfectly unconsciously,
spray, what has become Of Texasi
After the Mexicans got their independ-
ence. thought that province Of Texas
would come forward very fast. It Is
really one Of the finest regions on
earth 1t Is the Italy Of this continent.
But l have not seen or heard word
of Texas for near twenty years"
There were two Texan officers at the
table. The reason he had never heard
of Texas was that Texas and her at
fairs had been painfully out Of his
newspapers since Austin began his
settlements; so that, while he read Of
Honduras and Tamaulipas, and, till
quite lately, of California, this virgin
province, in which his brother had
travelled SO far and, believe, had died,
had ceased to be with him. Walters
and Williams, the two Texas men,
looked grimly at each other, and tried
not to laugh. Edward Morris had his
attention attracted by the third link
In the chain of the captains chan
delier. Watrous was seized with con
vulsion of sneezing. Nolan himself
saw that something was to pay, he did
not know what. And I, as master Of
the feast, had to say:
"Texas Is out of the map, Mr.. No
Ian. Have you seen Captain Backs
curious account Of Sir Thomas Roe's
Welcome7"
After that cruise I never saw No
Ian again. I wrote to him at least
twice a year, for in that voyage we
became even conf1dentially intimatet
but he never wrote to me. The other
men tell me that in those fifteen years
he aged very fast, as we'll he might
gentle, accomplishing, silent sufferer
that he ever was, bearing as best he
could his self-appointed punishment,
rather less social, perhaps, with new
men whom he did not know, but more
anxious, apparently, than ever to serve
and befriend and teach the boys, some
of whom fairly seemed to worship HIM.
And now 1t seems the dear old fellow

last and a country.
Since writing this, and while con-
sidering whether or no I would print

thought Fort Adams must be ruin

II tell you, Ingham, it was hard
thing to condense the history of half
q century into that talk with sick
man. And I do not know what told
him--of emigration, and the means of
it-of steamboats, and railroads and
telegraphs-of inventions and books
and literature-of the colleges and
West Point and the Naval school
but with the queerest interruptions
that ever you heard. You see it was
Robinson Crusoe asking all the accu-
mulated questions of fifty-six years.
II remember he asked, all of a sud-
den, who was president now; and
when I told him, he asked If Old Abe
was Gen. Benjamin Lincoln's son. He
said he met old General Lincoln, when
he was quite boy himself, at some
Indian treaty. said no, that Old Abe
could not tell him of what family; he
had worked up from the ranks. Good
for him! cried Nolan; L am glad of
that. AS l have brOOded and Won

in keeping up those regular success
sions in the first families Then l
got talking about my visit to Wash

and more silent, yet ! never thought
he was tired or faint. gave him
glass of water, but he just wet his lips,
and told me not to 60 away. Then he
asked me to bring the Presbyterian
Book of Public Prayer, which lay
there, and said, with smile, that it
would open at the right place-and so
1t did. There was his double red
mark down the page; l knelt down
and read, and he repeated with me,
For ourselves and our country, O gra-
cious God we thank thee, that, not.

sions of thy holy laws, thou hast con-
tinued to us thy marvellous kindness
and so to the end of that thanksgiv-
ing. Then he turned to the end Of

To Develop Vast Coal Field.

Not only is Longyear City the most
northerly mining town, but it bids fair
to become a place Of Importance, now
that a Norwegian company has taken
over the vast coal fields of Spitzbergen.
The enterprise is on a very large scale.
The coal fields which the Norwegian
company will develop cover an area
of over 656 square miles, of which one
seventh has been surveyed, and it is
estimated that this alone will yield
something like 100,0OO,000 tons of coal
from the first stratum, and the second
stratum will probably yield as much
more. There are other coal veins of
which little Is yet known. The en-
terprise Is regarded as a national one,
and eventually thousands Of miners
will be employed.

Too Familiar.

Soon after fOur-year-old John had
been put to bed the rumbling of the
first thunderstorm Of the season was
heard in the distance, says the New
York Post. He called his mother in
great excitement. "Muvver! Muvver
Come here. What Is that noise?'
"That Is thunder, dear. We are 60
ing to have Il storm. Just go to sleep
and pay no attention to it,"
"Who makes the thunder?"
"GOd makes the thunder when he
sends the nice, cool rain. Now go to
sleep, dear, and don't call again"
An hour later, when the storm had
passed, Johns mother went to see that
- he was covered up, and found him
across the foot of the bed, as securely
rolled in blankets as Il mummy in its
wrappings. In the process of unwind
ing he awoke.
"Why did you wrap yourself up like
that?" he was asked
"God made his lightning wink at me
an I was scared" said John.

Woman Wrote Famous Hymn.

The author of the famous hymn,
"Nearer, My God, to Thee" was a
woman, Mrs. Sarah Flower Adams,
who was born in England in 1905. Mrs.
Adams was n writer of note In the
English periodicals of her time on sub
jects of religious nature. She had
also composed catechism for chill
dren, published in 1916. 1t is not known
Just at what time nor under what cir
cumstances she wrote the famous
hymn. 1t was first published in 1S41,
and the author, dying at forty-four
few years later, never knew to what
heights of fame it was to rise. Since
her death the lines have been sung by
untold millions the world over and
translated from English into every lam
guage spoken by Christian commune
ties Of every race and color.

PLACE FOR NARROWING SOWS
That Animal May Not Be Disturbed
She Should Be Kept Separated
From Other Swine.

The less sow is disturbed ut far
rowing time the better, and for this
reason she should be kept separate
from the other swine. While some.
one should be on hand, unless she
needs assistance, it is best to keep
away from her. If it does become
necessary to help, do it as quietly as
possible. AS the pigs are not able
to take much milk, the flow should
not be stimulated for few days. Give
the sow plenty of water, as she is in
feverSh condition, but take the chill
off of it If the day is cold.
1t is not necessary to feed the SOW
for a day or two, and the first feed
given should consist of n small

Artificial camphor has been pro-

able to take more milk. In two weeks
