War on Flies.

Special attention is being given by
the Medical Department of the Army
in all camps to cleaning up spots
where mosquitoes and flies breed.
In some cases it has been necessary
to dig channels in streams, drain
swamps, and put in elaborate ditch
ing systems to clean up stagnant
pools and streams. In cases where
it has been impossible or imprac-
ticable to drain swamps and do SINH
lar work, there has been installed a
system for keeping slow-moving
streams and still bodies of water
covered with oil. At all points with
in the camp where there is the
slightest possibility of mosquitoes or
flies breeding daily spraying of oil
is done.
Arrangements have been completed
with the Federal Public Health Serv-
ice to carry out a similar program
in the territories adjacent to the
camps. The Health Service has
agreed to fill boys, open streams, and
drain swamps, and continue the oil
spraying for a distance of one mile
around each camp.
Special precautions have been TAX
en- to prevent the spread of disease
by flies. Instructions were given on
the disposal of materials that were
likely to become breeding spots. Ar
rangements were made to protect all
food from flies. With this end in
view, all buildings in which food is
prepared or stored were screened.
Entrances to the buildings have been
vestibuled. An average of 5000
fytraps have been placed in each
camp. More than 22.7OO,O0O square
feet of screening has been placed in
all camps. .....

Care of Eve and Ram.

During the breeding season, have
the ewes in a gaining condition. The
last week in July turn them into a
good pasture of second growth clov-
er or meadow until they have all
been bred at least once. Shear them
around the rear parts and see that
the dung does not collect there. Have
the ram in thrifty, vigorous condi-
tion and turn them with the ewes
the first of August. Feed him a
pound of grain each day during this
period. If you have more than fifty
ewes, buy more than one ram. For
small focks of twenty-five or less,
allow the ram to run with the ewes
during this period. With larger
focks good results can be expected
only when the ram is with the flock
in the early morning and late in the
evening, to serve ewes that are in
heat. Keep record of the time
when the ram is turned with the
ewes and when he is taken away.
After the ram has been with the
flock four weeks, exchange with a
neighbor for four weeks to insure
ewes being safely bred; occasionally
ram proves to be impotent. Re-
move the ram from the flock at the
latest by NovembeS Is, SO that no
lambs will be dropped later than
April Is.

War Workers Work at all Hours.

Our boys on the firing line do not
get off with ten hours day when
there is battle raging. They must
stay at their posts all day and all
night and as long as is necessary.
Farmers at home feel the gravity of
the situation and are exerting every
effort possible this year and will not
restrict their working hours. If food
producers can win this war by feed
ing our nation and our allies it is
their duty as American citizens to
work as long as may be necessary.
Are the workers in any other line
OF necessary production doing better
than the farmers in this respect?
Farmers are certainly the leaders.

lille man plays or prays the

" terfered with on 2S1 days
during 1913. In other
words, there will be only "a days in
this coming year that are not Sun,
days or special holidays in one O,
more important commercial regions
Of the earth. Nor is this an unusual
condition created by the war. We
are accustomed to jump remarkable
conditions into the category OF war
el lis these days. On the contrary,
some of the fighting nations have for
the time being stripped their decks of
minor and unusually supertiuous holt
days.
Ever since man was condemned to
earn his bread by the sweat of his
brow he has been putting in a lot of
spare time trumping up methods of
beating the game. Next to working
into the boss's job the invention of the
holiday has been one of his ablest
little achievements in this line. Like
wise ever since bosses and holidays
evolved, along about history's sun
rise, the former, have been cursing
the latter as troublesome breaks in
the years work. By the Middle Ages
holidays had become so numerous
that they seriously interfered with
industrial pursuits. A valuable re-
suit of the Reformation not generally
appreciated was the abolition of a
large portion of these holidays.
But as time went on political
and religious milestones accumulated
again. Today, while the years over
load in any one country Is by no
means as serious as in the Middle
Ages, the growth of international
finance has made the worlds aggre-
gate of closed days a serious factor
and an expensive one. Not until now,
however, has any attempt been made
to compile an exhaustive list OF holi-
days for the guidance Of bankers and |
mel chants. This task has just been
completed by the Guaranty Trust
Company of New York city. The re-
suits have been published in a book
let that should be a valuable addition
to the reference library Of every bank
in the country doing more than a pure

Milwaukee Health Commissioner Says
1t Is Not Advisable to Raise Ban

Milwaukee, Oct 29-'Everything is

day night, speaking Of the progress of

II cannot tell anything about the prob
able lifting af the ban on public

is being lifted in some places, but
each must be the judge of it's own sit
uatiOn."
The meeting OF the Wisconsin Fed
eral Council Of Churches, announced
to take place at Madison Monday
night, has been postponed indefinitely
because Of the influenza epidemic. AL
though the influenza epidemic has
taken q firm hold on almost every in
stitutiOn Of size throughout the cOun-
try, the S. A. Z. c.. unit at the Mil
wauknee normal school thus far has
escaped the grasp Of the disease and
boasts of q remarkable record in the
members. Since October 1, when mem
bers of the corps spent their first night
at the institution, 152 student soldiers
have been lodged in the two gyms of
the school, temporarily being used as
barracks, and yet Of that number to-
tai Of only 16 men have during that
time been confined to the sick ward.
Fifteen Of the men confined have been
treated for mild cases of Influenza and
were quarantined merely as a prOtec-
tive measure and not because of the
seriousness Of their conditions. The
other case, the only one on the corps
roll at present, although of more
serious character, is not regarded as
dangerous by the physicians. In all
Of the cases the deadly pneumonia
has been avoided and the corps boasts
a perfect record on that score.
