Farewell Party

Wednesday afternoon num-
Der of Snowflake ladies surprised
Mrs. D. Elmer Jones by gather
ing at her home in a social party,
the occasion being a farewell
party for Mrs. Jones, who will
shortly remove to Flagstaff. Mr..
Jones preceded her several days

The ladies of Snowflake are SO

Podr over the 20 quarts of
white oats, mix we'll, let

Now you are ready to Wis

your poisoned oats first. Use
Imprisoned white oats first
so the dogs will find out
that there is no harm in the
newly discovered food. Use
about 60 oat kernels as a
bait for each hole and two
days later follow up with
the poisoned oats. There
are abont 40 bats to each
quart of oats.
Exercise common sense.
Place the bait in front of
the hole and be careful not
to place them in grass. Do
not place the bait in the
door Of the hole, but out
about two or three feet
about where Mr.. Doggie
sits up to take a birds eye

We promised not to tell it, but
it is to good to keep. Besides
women folks never keep secrets.
A number of the girls went in
the creek wading. Too cold yet
for snakes, and the few little

health improving.

Science Has DiscoU.
erd The Way to
PreUent Flies

Each spring when the anti-fy
campaigns start up the State
Board of Health is repeatedly
called on to recommend some
chemical treatment that will
destroy fly larvae in manure. To
find that chemical whicn will
destroy the fly economically and
at the same time preserve the
fertiliZing value of the manure
appears to be a somewhat baff1-
ing question to scientists but one
they are hopeful of solving. In
fact through a long process of
experimentation with different
chemicals, the United States De-
partment of Agriculture believes
that it has found what may be
relied on as an economical, prac-
tical and fairly effective larvi-
eide. 1t is ordinary borax.
The Bulletin of the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture speaking of the favorable
results obtained by the use of
borax says: 1T possesses a
marked larvicidal action and
appears to exert no permanent
injury on the fertilizing value of
the manure"
The Bulletin reckons the cost
of borax treatment, using ordi-
nary commercial borax costing
five or six cents per pound, to be
one cent per horse per day and
recommends about a pound of
borax to every Is cubic feet or
IL bushels Of manure immenia-
tley after it's removal from the
stable, or in other words, about
a pound per horse per week. 1t
further advises the sprinkling of
the borax through any fine seive
over the manure, especially
around the outer edges if placed
in a pile and that the whole be
sprinkled with three to five gal
Ions of water.
While the State Board of
Health would not for a moment
frown on the use of borax where
borax is necessary, or where for
some reason prompt removal of
manure seems ont of the question
but attention should be called to

be placed in tight. tongued and

out through cracks and so that

You mustn't say that said the

"'My dear Night said the Day, you
must remember that People are always
talking. When it's the time for long

games and their toys and trot off to
the Land of Nod. And, of course,
there are the People who say they like
the long days

say they want rain or shine, it does
what it has made up its mind to do
And sometimes it has a joke and keeps
them wondering whether it will rain
or shine, or snow or hail. But it must
do something to keep its spirits up
Just think how People grumble about
the weather. For my part, like the
sort of Creatures who just like

giving up nice picnic on some days

have been quite happy. Even show
