Trade With Australia Grows.

Trading between this country and
Australia Is showing healthy growth,
according to figures supplied to the de-
partment Of commerce by A. w. Fer
rim, trade commissioner, who is at Mel
bourne. They cover imports and ex-
ports for the first quarter of the cur
rent year, and show the imports dur
ing that period to have been about
$27, 775.000, against exports to this
country of approximately $16,350,000.
February exports nearly eQualed in
value the totals for January and
March, and in that month the outgoing
shipments exceeded the imports. In
the same month. however, the value of
the imports was less than half Of the
goods brought in during March.

Doctor Brown, a negro evangelis,
was firm believer in the ancient cus.
tom Of river baptism, and converts
whom he baptized in this manner sell
dom forgot 1t. A few years ago he
held a christening in New Jersey
town on the banks of the Delaware
river. where dozen or more converts
were assembled, awaiting their turns
to be Immersed. Among them was a
hackman, who evinced q lively inter.

"Why does the good doctor" he
asked Of fellow convert, "duck some

friend, "for every new name they're
goin' to have"

piled. II was goin' to call myself
Thomas Jefferson Lincoln Anderson,

This conversation was overheard by
the sharp ears Of Doctor Brown, who
finally beckoned the hackman to come
forward.
"YO' name. please" he inquired In
q deep bass voice.
"Jess baptize me Tom that's huff"
the candidate replied, as the evangel-
list. taking him none too gently by the
neck. piloted him far out into the
stream, where he ducked him not once
but half dozen times with such ra-
pidity and vigor that a few minutes
later the hackman found himself on
the shore, coughing, sputtering and
fighting for breath. The ceremony was
soon over, and when he had recovered
his strength he made his way to the
side of Doctor Brown.

The subject treated in the first and

It on through until the lambs are sold.
Each seasonal practice is brought out

With the approach of that season of
the year when the stable fly is most
numerous and its injury to live stock
most acute-August and September
1t behooves the farmer to prepare for
meeting the enemy and protecting his
stock as much us possible from its
attacks. In turn the farmer will be
protecting himself also, for aside from
its annoyance to human beings the
stable fly is suspected Of playing an
important part In the carrying Of GER
tain diseases Of man, notably infantile
paralysis.
The natural time for taking meas
ures against the stable fly is when it
is In Its immature stages, and there
Is good reason to believe that by prop

breeds the insect may be>kept well I'M

various means are used both for
protecting the animals and for ex-
terminating the flies. Among these
are traps. To be effective, however,
the trap should be especially designed
for this particular quarry, as it is I'M
possible successfully to capture adult
stable flies by means of the traps ordi-
narily used for the house fly.

NOTES OF STABLE FLY

The adult stable fly resem-
bles the house fly, but 10 slight
~ broader and feeds principally
on the blood Of animals.
1t breeds for the most part
In straw and mixtures of straw
and manure.
Straw stacks after threshing
should be watched, for when
these become wet the flies breed
in the decaying straw. It Is this
set Of conditions which produces
severe outbreaks.
Spraying animals with repel-
Tents Is not very satisfactory.
The number Of flies can be kept
down, however, by proper care
Of stable refuse and by care
fully stacking or otherwise dis
posing Of straw.

punched along the inner edge Of cnch
I the folds. The flies, in trying to
90 In or out through the window.
crawl into the folds and enter the
chamber through the holes. They are
unable to escape, because on the In.
side the folds form a projecting ridge
that makes 1t next to impossible for
the fly to retrace his steps.
Windows Should Be Dariened.
The trap Is especially we'll adapted
to well-made barns where the flies do
not have numerous places for entrance
and exit. It Is also more suited to
small barns In which animals are kept
iDore or less constantly than to large
dairy barns where the cows are
brought in only at milking time. On
der the latter conditions the flies en-.
ter the barns on the cows aud many
remain on the walls until after the
cattle have been turned out.
II such barns are tightly closed dur
ing the daytime and the windows with
out traps darkened practically all the
flies will catch themselves In trying to
escape through the trap window or
windows.
In all instances the windows without
traps should be darkened by hanging
gunny sacks over them. This may be
done so as not to interfere with the
ventilation. The darkness and the
tapping Of the sacks In the winl will
drive the flies to the more attractive
light Of the windows equipped with the
traps.
