Ants and butterflies are not ordinar-

the large black ants found in Indian
gardens.
The secret of this care lies in the
fact that the larvae give out a sweet
liquid of which the ants are very fond,
and which they obtain by gently strok-
ing the little creatures with their an
tennae. At the foot of u bush on
which the larvae feed, the ants con-
struct temporary nest and are then
ready to act as attentive nurses.
About the middle of June the ants
are busy running about on this bush
in search of the larvae. and. driving
them downward toward their own
nest. When the prisoners reach their
places, they at once fall into pupae.
During this period, If the loose earth
Mt the foot of the bush be scraped
away, hundreds of larvae and pupae
may be seen arranged in a broad even
band about its trunk.
In about week the butterfly is
ready to come forth and is tenderly
assisted to leave its shell. If 1t is
strong and healthy, 1t is allowed to
spread its wings and fly away, but

Paradise Worth Attaining.

According to the Koran the soil of

of gold and silver; the fruits are of n

tails. Numerous rivers flow through
the paradise. Some are of wine, 9th

pebbles are rubies and emeralds; the
banks of musk, camphor and saffron.

PLAN OUTLINED FOR

Fair Days Work for Loading, Haul

prepared by the United States Depart

The haying season for tame hay
lasts about ten days. Sometimes
when the weather is unfavorable or
the acreage is large 1t takes longer
to get the hay made. The hay grower
should plan to get his hay made with
in two weeks Mt most, If possible. If
the amount of hay each machine will
handle per hour or per day and the
amount of labor required per ton is
known, plans can be made to make
certain amount of hay per day.
It has been found that. under aver
age conditions, mowers. tedders and
sulky rakes will cover two acres per
foot in width of the machine per
ten-hour day. That is, n five-foot
mower will cut ten acres per day, n
ten-foot sulky rake will rake 20 acres
per day, etc. One man can cock
about FIVE or six acres per day. A
fair days work for loading, hauling
and putting into the barn with horse
fork is about five tons per man.
When the haying season comes an
effort should be made to make as
much hay per day as possible. On
many farms in the East the best re-
suits are not obtained, because hay is
hauled only in the afternoon. This
practice lengthens the haying season
and thus increases the chances of
damage to the hay from rain and
causes hay to lose Its natural "tea
green" color. The hauling crew
The Ordway new era., 1918-08-16

should work all day, or at least start
as soon ms the dew Is off. unless there
is other more important farm work to
be done.
Scarcity of labor will sometimes pre-
vent the hauling crew from working
in the morning, If the moving, teddine
and raking are done in the forenoon.
When a crew Is kept at the barn for
unloading and putting the hay In the
NOV, the men should be kept busy all
of the time. If possible. II n crew can
not stay at the barn without con
siderable loss of time, the men should
all work in the field, pitching. loading

with each load to help unload.
1t is good practice to have only one

day or full half day. whenever they

hay, one or more of these machines
will finish in the middle of the fore
noon, and there will be place for the
men operating the machines to work

traps, sometimes called "guillotine"
traps, are of many designs, but the
more simply constructed are prefer
able. Probably those made entirely
of metal are the best, as they are
more durable. Traps with tin or sheet
iron metal bases are not recon-
mended.
Guillotine traps of the type shown
should be baited with small pieces of
Vienna sausage (wienerwursD or
fried bacon. A small section Of an
ear of corn is an excellent bait If
other grain is not present. The trig-
ger wire should be bent inward to
bring the bait into proper position
for the fall to strike the rat In the
neck.
Other Excellent Bats.
Other excellent bats for rats and
mice are oatmeal. toasted cheese,
toasted bread (buttered), fish, fish
offal, fresh liver, raw meat, pine nuts,
apples, carrots and corn, and sun
flower, squash or pumpkin seeds.
Broken fresh eggs are good bait at
all seasons and ripe tomatoes. green
cucumbers and other fresh vegetables
are very tempting to the animals in
winter. When seed, grain or meal is
used with a guillotine trap, 1t is put
on the trigger plate or the trigger
wire may be bent outward and the
bait placed directly under 1t.
Oatmeal (rolled oats) is recon-
mended as bait for guillotine traps
made with wooden base and trigger
plate. These traps are especially con-
venient to use on lodges or other mar
dow rat runs or ut the openings of
rat burrows. They are often used
without bait.
A common mistake in trapping for
rats or mice is to use only one or two
traps when dozens are needed. For
a large establishment hundreds of
traps may be used to advantage and
a dozen is none too many for an
ordinary barn or dwelling infested
with rats. House mice are less sus-
picious than rats and are much more
easily trapped.

1t may be noted here that drinking liq-
uor is absolutely forbidden in Afghan
istan, and violation may be punished
by death.
Afghanistan has no outlet to the sea
and hence no navy. But, the para
mount factor in its life is its state of
military preparedness. Out of politi-
cal and military chaos n new Afghan
istan has been created by the supreme
genius of Abdur Rahman, the late fa-
ther of the present Amir. He fought
his way to the throne of Afghanistan,
and Immediately after his recognition
set himself to reorganizing the scat
tered forces of the army. He hired
Turkish officers to train his officers and
to drill his men. He built forts all
over his kingdom, especially along its
frontiers. He established arsenals,
two of which, those Mt Kabul and He
rat, were under German military ex-
perts for some time. Abdur Rahman
used his subsidy money In buying guns,
rifles and munitions Of war from the
British. He built storehouses through
out his kingdom for storing foodstuffs
to be used only in cases of emergency.
He built strategic roads-though there
is not n single mile of railroad in
Afghanistan-over some of the almost
impossible parts of his mountain king
dom.
