Clear, Up the Place

Flies are q pest that can be con-
trolled if you will practice few pre-
Ventive measures.
A. Haul out and spread the manure
once q week.
p. Treat the manure with boraX OF
white hellebore to kill the maggots and
eggs.
1. Borax is sprinkled over the ma
nure at the rate of ten ounces to
eight bushels of manure. Pour two or
three gallons of water over the manure
after the bOrax has been added. This
will cause the boraX to be carried into
the manure. BE sure and sprinkle the
outer edges, for this is where the mag
COTS gather before going into the next
stage CT development.
2, Dissolve one-half pound Of white
hellebore in ten gallons of water and
sprinkle thoroughly over the manure.
3. If It is inconvenient to remove the
manure each week, it may be treated
with the bOraX and heIlebore in the
stables. Calculate the amount of ma
nure in stable and use them III the
same proportion as above.
!. Maize or buy Kytraps early in the
season and use them all the time dur
ing the fly season.

There Are HGny Ways in Whici, tie
Finest limitations Hay Ee Detect
ed. Even by the inexperienced.

The experienced eye does not find it
is genuine, for the facets of real ones
are seldom so regular as those of fine
limitations. With the latter the great
est care is taken in grinding to polish
and smooth the whole stone so that
there Will lie irrCguiarity in the retlcc-
ton or rCfractiOn of the light. A necCS-
Sary tool for testing is the file, which
cannot scratch Il real diamond, al
though it quickly leaves its mark on
an imitation. Better than the file is the
sapphire, for the sapphire is the next
hardest stone to the diamond. Any
stone that sapphire can scratch is
aSSUrCdiy not q diamond.
If You put q small drop Of water on
the upper facet of brilliant and touch
it with the point of IL pencil the drop
will keep it's rounded form, but the
stone will remain clean and dry. In
case of an imitation the drop immcdi-
atcly spreads out. Plunge Il diamond
into water and it will be plainly visible
and will glitter through the liquid. but
an imitation stone is almost invisible.
If YOU look through a diamond, as
through bit Of glass, at Il black dot
on sheet of white paper you will see
one singl" point clearly. If you see sew
oral points or q blur of black it is an
imitation. The white sapphire, the
white topaz and rock crystal are fire.
Qucntly sold as diamonds, but imita-
lions are more commonly made of
glass.

MANY GOLD COINS ABRADED
Are Often Found by Banks to Be Be-
low Weight Fixed by the United
States Treasury Department.

Gold coin in circulation loses
weight more rapidly than most people
realize, and it is said that a great
amount of the gold in circulation on
this coast is abraded below the limit
of tolerance ut which the United
States treasury will receive it, says
the San Francisco Chronicle. A good
deal of this lightweight money is ac-
cepted by the banks, as is discovered
whenever national bank makes q
gold payment to the Federal Reserve
bank. Probably the banks have now
become educated but when the first
payments We're made to the reserve
banks it was found that considerable
gold which passed current among
banks would not be received by the
reserve banks at face value.
It is safe to assume that all gold
coin received by banks is sorted, the
perfect coins being held in the vaults
and the worn pieces paid out over the
counter so that the ultimate loss which
is inevitable is borne by the last indi-
vidual holder.
Congress is now asked by the treas
ury department for authority to re-
ceive for a limited period all gold coin
at its face value. That which is
abraded will then be recoined and the
1ntegrity of the circulation restored.

The immediate Duty.

The plain duty Is the near duty. A
very common weakness keeps many
people from finding what il near them
interesting; they see that only or its
paltry side. The distance, on the con
trary, draws and fascinates them. In
this way Il fabulous amount of good
will is wasted. People burn with ardor
for humanity. for the public good, for
righting distant wrongs: they walk
through life, their eyes fixed on mar
Vicious sights along the horizon. tread
zng meanwhile on the feet of paSsers-
by, or iOStling them without being
aware of their existence. Strange i'll

CONCRETE PAVEMENT is BEST
Affords as Good Foothold for Horses
as Any Other Hard Surface and
Wears Quite We'll.

The concrete pavement in use on the
main driveway at the Kansas State
Agricultural college has proved that
this type of pavement is successful,
according to L. l.. Conrad, professor
Of civil engineering. This pavement
has been in use for more than three
years and shows practically no wear.
The traffic over this road is heavy.
It consists of all the coal and machin-
cry delivered to the college, & large
part Of the material that is used in the
construction OF now buildings on the
caUipu&, college mail and express, and
the many pleasure vehicles that are
continually using this road.
Two methods were used TO surface
the road On the Level portion of the
roadway the finish was made COmpar-
ativcly smooth, while Oil the grades Il
heavy stable brush was drawn over
the green cement. leaving Il rough SUI
face. 1t is probable that after Il few
wears Of service the roadway which
has the smooth surface viii present Il
more uniform appearance but at pres
cnt there is TO appreciable difference.
''The transfers hauling coal to the
college power plant were strongly OF
the opinion that the road would be
slippery" remarked Mr.COnrad, "but
they say. after using it for three years,
that it affords as good a foothold for
the horses as any hard surface.
"1'hc expansion and contraction of
tie concrete is taken up by steel-bound
joints that are placed every So feet,
these joints being surrounded by an
elastic material. Outside of a few
dollars for rcpla cling some Of this ma
terial, there has been no expense what
ever for the repair or upkeep of the

Outline Of King Drag.

its further use I give this detailed
drawing and make the following sug-
gestiOnS:
Use light wood. The drag will do
the most efficient work if it is light
enough for one man to lift.
Don't use square timber, as it will
not stay sharp on the edge like a
half-rOund timber. A log from 10
to 10 inches in diameter is best.
A strip Of iron three-eighths of an
inch thick, three or four inches wide
and thirty-siX inches long hoited to
the right-hand side of the front tim
Der. is very effective in cutting down

CIV LEO NIA-THF1T.G.)

In the spring of the year, when the
roads begin to dry and the dirt is
still somewhat moist, one CT two trips
uD and down with the road drag will
put them in excellent condition. If
each farmer would care for the road
which passes his place, dragging it
every time it needed it, we would all
have occasion to rejoice.
Personally, 1 don't believe there is
a steel drag made that will beat the
work of the o:G King drag. Another
point in it's favor is that it can be
made at home and costs practically
nothing.
