kern's body. show that the latter was
preparing to kill Dallas, 81 caliber
revolver having been found strapped
around kerns body. With this

some bushes near where kerns and
his wife were discussing their domes-

Dallas recently had trouble with the
federal and state authorities.
When the Virginia prohibition laws
allowed the ordering OF a quart of
liquor for each male adult citizen,
Dallas swore that he was twenty one
years OF age and was allowed to order
his quota OF whiskey per month.
Later, when he was called upon to
register for military service. he swore
that he was not of age His perJured
attitude caused his induction into mill

lowing his double tragedy he was to
report in Luray for his departure for

comfort.
The stabling of cows during the
neat of the day in cool, darkened
barns is recommended as one of the
best means of eliminating the fly
evil, provided adequate labor is
available to keep the stable clean
and sanitary. As manure provides
an ideal breeding material for flies,
II is imperative that none of It be
allowed to accumulate in or around
the stable. Spraying the animals with
some fly repellant, such as kerosene
emulsion, is an effective remedy,
but requires repeated applications.
Itepellants should be used with
great care, as no good one has yet
been devised which is not likely to
slightly talnt the milk. II is best
TO spray the cows just before milk
ing each evening, using a hand spray
rump or applying II with a brush or
sponge. There are some anti-fly So
lutions on the market which are
more or lesc effective. Most of them
consist OF some coal-tar product
combined with either fish oil, oil OF
tar, or rosln. Lime sprinkled about
the barn on manure Is also useful
in destroying flies
To prepare kerosene emulsion
enc of the cheapest and best home
made fly repellents-dissolve one
half pound of yellow soap in gal
Ion of soft water heated to the boil
Ing point, and with this combine 2
Gallons of kerosene in a barrel where
the solution can be churned vigor-
cusly. Dilute this mixture with six
gallons of water. This amount of
emulsion is sufficient for spraying
100 cows and should be prepared
only as needed. When smaller
amounts are required they should

results were even more pronounced
in the later keeping varieties than
with the Bartlett. Early pickings of
Claireauq, Anjou and Bose were
practically worthless because of flat

From the first years investiga-
