AVIATOR'S ART
COMESOF STUN

Almost every one hws seen an aero
plane in flight. says Popular Mechan-
les, but with the present-day layman.
the interest Is conferred more on the
airman than on the machine with
which he does his flying. Naturally.
the first question is, How did he
learn to flyF'

ton taught themselves the then dr.
fieult and dangerous art. and al the

in the early stages. and who. by luck
and perseverance. mastered the art
with very little outside assistance.
These men were without more than
rudfmentary idea Of the very prlnei-
Piles Of flight, and later realized the
dangers they had undergone; they
knew that the average person could
scarcely survive self-administered
course I'm airmanship..
There are three basic methods Of
teaching flying-the so-called French
system. the dual-contrpl system. and
a combination Of the two largely used
to-day fer training war pilots. The
French system was the first In gen
ersl use. and consisted In teaching
oneself TO fly tby the constant critt
eisn. advice and demonstration OF a
eomretent pilot instructor. The pupil
was gfren a heavy, low-powered and
wcrn-eut machine incapable OF flying
usually called "taxi'--and was
given practise in running the machine
on the ground. In this way he accus-
toned himself to the speed Of an aero
plane, the incessant roar OF the mo-
tor. and the use OF the controls.
When the pupil could run down the
field In perfectly straight line and
do it consistently he was given
hops
Hops" were made on d machine
but slightly better than the taxi and
consisted in making short jumps
across the field at a height of four or
five feet This was the most trying
part Of the entire course. rs at this
point smashes we're most likely IN

HEEL FLIES PESTER
CATTLE IN SUMMER
Parasites Cause Jumps on Backs
of acknowledgements Oil
Will Destroy Them.

tBy GEORGE H. GLOVER, Colorado Ag-
ricultural College. Fort Collins. Colo)
Several letters have been received
lately respecting ''lumps" on the backs
Of cattle. One party made the impor-
tant discovery CD that 'worms had
eaten big holes through the backs of
his cattle and were found at the bot
tom eating their way"
Cattle can do very nicely without
these parasites, but the parasites can
not live without their hosts. These
parasites are the larvae of the heel fly.
This fly is about one-half inch long
and looks something like a small black
bee. The flies poster cattle during the
summer months and deposit their eggs
on the hair around the heels and hind
legs. The flies are unable to bite, but
cattle are instinctively afraid of them,
and will run with their tails high in
the air, to the nearest water hole,
when they approach. The eggs are
taken into the stomach by cattle lick
ing themselves, and there they hatch
and the tiny larvae migrate through
the body TO their favorite habitat. BY
spring or early summer the grub is
full grown and makes its escape
through an opening which ii has made
anN through which il breatbes and
discharges its excrement. Failing to

WRONG METHODS OF
FEEDING ON SUNDAY
Serious Disorders Often Caused
by Overlooking Animals Which
Are Working Hard.

More work horses are sick on Mon
week. This is good evidence that
something is often wrong with the
method Of feeding on Sunday, de-
clared DR.. G. w. McCampbell, assocl-
ate professor of animal husbandry in
the Kansas State Agricultural college.
"One form Of illness to which the
work horse is subject occurs so often
just following the Sunday rest that 1t
is popularity known as Monday morn
ing Sickness" said Doctor McCamp-
bell. 'This trouble is noted most fire.
quently in those cases where horses
are working hard, require heavy feed
ing, and are given the regular feed
on Sunday while they remain idle in
the barn. This is a serious disorder
often resulting in death.
Another common disorder among
work horses on Sunday and Monday
is collie. In most cases it Is caused by
heavy feeding while idle, but it may
be caused by cold, sloppy bran which
is sure trouble maker. A warm,
steamed bran mash to which liberal
amount of salt has been added is often
beneficial.
when the horse is working hard
his Sunday feed should be of the same
kind and quality as that which he re-
ceives on other days, but the grain por-
ton of the ration should be reduced
one-half. If a small pasture is avail
able AID the grass is not too plentiful,
it would be well to allow him to spend
the day there, especially if he can have
access to shade"

SOMETHING ABOUT THE PEONY
By e. VAN sENTHUYsEN.

The peony can be planted in spring
or late fall. consider the best time.
all things taken into account, is the
fall. The ground is then in better con-
dition and the work can be done TO
better advantage than ut any other
time.
Do not wait longer than October,
the early part of the month, prefer
ably. The bed can be got ready earlier
in the season. See that the soil is thor
oughly mixed with the manure used.
and spade deeply-not less than foot
and q half.
Purchase strong plants. These will
cost considerably more than the usual
size sent out by florists. but they are
well worth the difference in price. by
nll means have them sent by express.
and put them into the ground rs soon
as received. Do not depend upon your
neighbors for Il supply, as so many do.
No one likes tn injure his or her plants
by dividing them. though few of us
have courage to say no 10 an appli-
cant for a toe or two" but that is just
what the peony owner ought to do,
and must do, If he or she would have
fine specimen plants.
If the amateur gardener fully under
stood the slowness of this plant in es-
,ablishinS itself. and the resentment 1t
always manifeStS To any disturbance OF
its roots. few persons would be selfish
enough To ask anyone TO mutilate his
ar her plants in order to enable them
20 save the expenditure of the little
money.
While large beds of peonieS are ex-
tremely effective. especially in extern
Sive grounds. where they can have the
advantage of sufficient distance. and
"A good background against which To
display their magnifcence of color, |
am inclined to the belief that more
pleasure is afforded by scattering the
plants about in Il mixed border.
Here they come out strongly during
their period of bloom. and after that
they are not as noticeable as they must
he when planted in beds. No one will
claim for the plant much merit in the
way of attractive foliage when it is not
seen in the companionship Of flowers.
In this respect the peony is very
much like the rose. which would never
be extensively planted If it had moth
ing but its foliage to commend it to
general attention.
This is not saying that the foliage of

Genius and Rules.

Genius may be law unto itself and
may violate the conditions felt to be
binding upon mere talent or mediocrity,
but for all that genius Is not genius
because 1t occasionally breaks rules,
and no writer can serve as a. model
for the young who does not conform
to certain principles. The object Of
the linguistic branch of education is
to fit each pupil with the ability to
make himself clearly understood, aDd
this can best be done by teaching him
to observe such rules as will tend to
make his speech similar to that Of his
bearers. If after acquiring SO much
he finds that he is a literary genius. he
may go forward and devise newt Forms
for himself all well and good, but gen.
eral education is for average people,
and the only safeguard against dialects
or a confusion of tongues is the teach
ings Of such common principles as will
apply throughout the country.

GARDEN NOTES.

If you wish to get specimen cannas
early in the season. Remove roots,
stocks and unnecessary fiber and cut
.ato single eyes.
Then put in four-inch pots in rich
soil; shift when the pots are full of
roots. The Gamma. like corn, needs
moisture and heat to develop properly.
A flower friend says she rid her
lemon tree of scale by applying a
strong lather of soap suds with stiff
brush to both sides of the leaves, stem
and trunk. This was allowed TO re-
main for half a day and then washed
off with clear water. The scale was
then easy to brush off.
When planting trees in clay or other
heavy soils not well drained follow this
method: Dig holes three feet wide
and 20 inches deep; place in them or
10 inches of drainage, rocks, bricks or
cinders well packed. Upon this put
three or four inches of sod-grass side
down, then plant the tree as usual.
An excellent hedge plant is Kochia-
sometimes called burning bush or Mex
lean fire-plant, because of its turning
to a rich. dark red i'm the fall. During
the summer it is a mass of pleasing
green. 1t is excellent for rows in the
background or for planting about the
base of the house TO hide the founda-
ton walls, set about a foot and half
