PREVENT FLY PLAGUE
BEFORE HOT SEASON
Insect Carries Disease From In
fected Animals.
Stable Refuse Should Be Scattered at
Regular Intervals Throughout Sea-
son-Buletin Gives Methods
for Control.

Have you ever tried to sleep on a
hot summer night when just one mos
quito had crept through the window
screen? Imagine your state of mnd
If that single mosquito were multi
piled by 100 and you had your hands
tied
That sensation, according to the bu-
reau of entomology, United States de-
partluent of agriculture, is something
comparable with what horse, mule,
or COW endures when the stable fly
is present in great numbers,
The stable fly greatly resembles the
ordinary house fly, but for the lance
with which he is armed. 1t is known
that he carries disease from infected
animals to healthy ones, and there is
some ground for belief that the insect
aids the spread of spinal meningitis
among h6man beings.
The eggs of the fly are laid in loose,
warm straw heaps and piles of sta
BILE refuse. A plague of flies always
starts from these sources, and the
control of the pest is best managed
by scattering the straw in the spring
before the beginning of warm weather
and blowing it under, or by burning 1t
when the former method can not be
applied,
Stable refuse should be scattered at
regular intervals of one week or less
throughout the season, starting with
early spring. In this way the nrst
generation of the pest is destroyed
and a plague averted. A recent publ
cation Of the department Farmers
bulletin, 1897, gives in detail the life
history of the stable fy, methods for
its control, and some facts concern
ing the amount Of damage done by
the insect

CHINESE HOLD HILL SACRED
Huang Shan Created Shrine More
Than Three Hundred Years Ago,
Is Tradition.

More than 300 years ago in the Ming
dhas and was called Thousand God pa
Men visited the Huang Shan in the
South Anhul hills. He was charmed
with the place and became infatuated
with the idea of making it sacred
mountain. A journey to Picking and
an audience with the royal household
resulted in the appropriation of large
sums Of money for developing this
fairyland of the gods. A brass pagoda
was prepared for the first temple. 1t
was decorated with 1000 little Bud
dhas and was called Thousand God ua-
CODA. The temple, whose halls 1t
decked, was christened the Purple
Sand temple and is now restored and
called the Merciful Light hall.
At that time, says the North China
Herald, hundreds Of priests came to
the mountains, and there was a period
of Buddhist prosperity. Roads were
built TO the tops of all the important
peaks, and at least one temple was
erected far above the line of perennial
springs.

eight members at first, but the number
soon increased to twenty.
The circle adopted certain rules,
some of which were to gather the eggs
once or twice daily, to stamp name and
address of "circle" with individuals

a week in winter and twice in summer.

Cooperative Organizations Have In

Shafer told of the two kinds of changes, superficial and fundamental. and Iikened women's wearing apparel as a present day example of the first kind of change.
 The speaker defined liberty in a democracy. not as freedom to do everything and anything one. might desire. but rather to serve everyone to the best of one'sA bility and like wise to be served by everyone in turn.
