THE FILTHY LILY

Flycs carry filth from the ma
nure pile, garbage can, vault, spit
toon, sick room to the milk, baby
mouth, food and you.
Flies carry disease, such as ty'
phoid fever, tuberculosis, diarrhea,
dys9ntery and infantile paralysis.
files cannot breed without filth.
The more filth the more flies. The
more fits the more sickness.
Uncle Sam learned his lesson
when flies gilled more soldiers than
all the Spaniard's bullets. Make
your community or town hyless.
Begin at home, then join your
ncighb0r. Now is the time to kill
all wintered over flies. Make your
cesspools and garbage heaps fly
proof by scattering lime or a good
Hy killer over them. For this pur-
pose use two pounds of iron sui
phato dissolved in one gallon of
water.
Use the following fly poisone in
the house:
l. Dissolve Zone teaspoonful Of
powdered bichromate of potash in
=, four teaspoonful of water; sid one
half teaspoon of sugar. Pour
some of this solution in shallow
difhe q and distribute them about
tue house. Poison.
2. One teaspoonful Of formalin
in half teacup Of water. Place
1r,und in the house where children
lalnot reach it. Poison,
TO quickly clean a room where
there are many flies, burn Pyre
thum powder. This stupefes them
and they may be swept up and
burned.
A flyless house stands for clean
illness, health and efficiency.

ash. Every soil may be said to have a
limiting factor of production, This
may be shortage Of some plant food
element. If SO, this should be sup
piled through fertilization if the lerg-
est possible yields are to be obtained.
No matter how much Of other plant
food sell may contain, If there is q
shortage CT nitrogen, for example, then
nitrogen will fix the limits Of prOduC-
ton. Likewise with phosphoric acid Or
other elements.
Plants differ from animals in taking
food, in that plants will take foods
only when the elements composing
them are in soluble form, that IS, when
they are dissolved in water. When
one element is deficient, the plant
ceases growing.

SHOOT THE SPIES!

Since the declaration of war by the United States
against Germany German spies and German ympathsers
within our borders have commenced their activities A
munitions plant in Pennsylvania has been blown up and
elevator and several million dollars worth of wheat in
Minnesota has been burned s.
Only the most drastic measures will prevent much
mischief being done at home by these German agents. It
ought to be the policy of the soldiers guarding the various
industries to shoot all suspicious characters and make in
quries afterward Good American citizens will avoid all
conduct that questionable and the most effective way
to handle the fellow caught sneakng around the places
under guard would be to shoot them and let their friends
make their excuses at the funeral.
And the first step toward inculcating universal re-
spect for the flag would be to expe Laoete Stone and

Take Care Of the Manure.

The manure is just as truly a
legitimate profit from stock farm
ing as is the money received
from the sale of the animals.
from wool or from dairy product.
Often farmers keep a steer in a
cheap, rough way for a year for
a profit of no more than $40.
The manure from the animal is
not worth much less than that to
the soil. Another farmer NAV
keep a steer more extensively
and get a profit of $40. per year.
In this case the manure is doubt
less worth every cent of 500, if not
more, to the farm. In the case of
beef cattle probably the manure
represents from 33 1-3 to so Der
cent of the possible profit to be
made from keeping the stock.
Do we treat the manure as if
these figures were true? No.
manure is yet an incident in our
stock farming and is not a
definite part of the profits of the
business,
Half of the plant food is in the
liquid manure, so that enough
bedding must be used in the
barns to absorb this or the loss is
great even when the stock are
under shelter, Even with the
best precautions that can be
taken, very considerable waste
will occur unless a cement floor
is used and plenty of bedding
on it. A farmer should not plan
to keep more stock than he can
provide plenty Of bedding for
while they are in the barn. 1t
is as important as feed.

feedlng racks and troughs

Kind OF stock kept, portable

When It is desirable to turn the
stock out during the day, fields
in sod shpuld be provided, and
they should be alternated, so
that the manure that accu-
mulates can be used to produce
large feed crops. Salt boxes can
be so placed in these fields to
encourage the stock to spend
some of iiheir time in all parts.

A $50 Waterworks System.

Most farms have a good supply
OF water, but in order to have it
properly distributed it will be
necessary to use an elevated tank
or an air-pressure system, l use
an elevated tank on my own
farm. The tank is not very high,
for my house is only one story
high and | do not need great
pressure. The base of the tower
on which the tank sets is walled
in to focm a bath house for my
field hands.
Iuse an Aeromotor force pump
on a driven well. In putting up
the pumI hstset it over the
well wit3 lhe cylinder as close to
the wate las practicable. Then
attach a six-inch piece of pipe to
the back outlet, and to this at
tach a tee. Into each end of the
tee screw another six-inch piece
of pipe, and then to the extreme
ends Of these attach a globe valve.
In this way the water is under
handy con gol of the operator of
the pump.{
1t is an esy matter then to
run the pip a little way from the
pump, tuto , it down into the
ground and lead it to the bottom
of the tank. Another pipe runs
from the osher side of the pump
directly tolhe kitchen, and on to
my milk. room. Through this
pipe we CAM pump clear, cool,
fresh water hto the kitchen or
to the milk room. We have it
arranged so that we can turn all
the water from the pump into
this pipe and use it for fire pro-
lection. A pipe from the tank
supplies our barns with running
water, and a pipe runs into the
bathroom in the house. pump
the tank full once each day. It'll
is so easy that a child can do it, |
but | intend later to put up a
windmill for running the pump

AS for drainage, a cheap and |
efficient method is easily arrang- |
ed on most farms. I have a long
V-shaped trough under the kitch-
en- sink, and the water from 9TH
er waste pipes is led into this.
From the trough the water may
be led to any convenient place
away from the premises. If you
want a water closet you will have
to lead the drainage away by
pipes.

years and / have done nething to
it but renew the valves about
every two years. | made a mis-
take at first by not having my

prefer the incubator to sitting

A large number of chicks of

economies in hovers. Chicks
hatched in the incubator start
out free from lice, and, if their
quarters are kept clean, you
don't have the lice to contend
with.
If the temperature is kept near
lob degrees the chicks come out
strong and healthy, but high
temperature will cook the egg
