STABLE FLIES BREED
IN ANY DIRTY PLACE
Certain Farm Practices Favor
Development of Pest.
Custom Of Permitting Manure to Ac-
eumuIate Just Outside of Door
Makes a Very Attractive
Place for insects.

Certain agricultural practices favor
greatly the development Of the stable
fly, according to specialists of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture. The fly breeds most commonly
in straw and horse manure or in a
mixture of the two. The custom Of
allowing the manure from the horse
stable to accumulate just outside the
stable doors insures the presence Of
stable flies at all times when climatic
conditions are suitable for breeding.
Allowing barnyards, especially around
diaries, to become knee-deep In
manure Is also favorable to the pro-
duction Of flies. X
In the grain belt It is the practice
Of farmers to thrash the grain in the
fields by means of s~elf-stacking thrash
Ing machines. The Individual stacks
cover much ground and the straw Is
loosely piled. In many cases for con-
venience several stacks are formed In
various parts of the> field. When
thrashing is followed BY heavy sum-
mer and fall rains this loosely piled
straw is certain to form a breeding
place for great numbers Of flies.
The insect occasionally may breed
in Sbroken-up masses of hay or dead
grass. especially when these are per
meated with liquids from manure, and
corn husks in feeding pens have been
found to harbor the maggots. Manure
piles commonly found near horse
stables are particularly attractive to
the flies In spring for laying eggs.

All Worn Out Women Should Take

WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 8, 1920
WHOLESALE PRICES LESS.

Every person paying as much or more
than he did year ago for the neces-
stiles of life will be interested in the
following comparison of prices in June
1920 with those of year earlier made
by the United States bureau of labor
statistics.
The bureaus records show that milk
cattle, hams, eggs and sheep each de-
creased about 10 per cent, wool 10 per
cent, hides 16 per cent and mess pork
2S per cent. A decrease of 90 per cent
is shown for hogs, Sc per cent for ba-
con, 40 per cent for lard, 43 per cent
for pig tin and 50 per cent for mess
beef, respectively.
In the same period mutton, corn, but
ter, electrolytic copper, fresh beef, corn
meal and copper wire showed increases
ranging from 4 to II per cent. Wheat
and wheat flour and spelter seach in
creased IL per cent, cotton 20 per cent
gasoline, % per cent, worsted yarn and
storm serge 25 per cent, and shoes and
barley about % per cent. Pig iron and
crude petroleum increased 50 per cent,
steel billets So per cent, pig lead 60
per cent, oats 81 per cent, rice 70 per
cent and sugar, coke and potatoes, al,
IS and 500 per cent, respectively, from
June, 1919, to June this year.
Tt is hard to understand why cattle
and sheep ten per cent lower cause an
increase of from four to II per cent
in the cost of fresh beef and mutton,
or a decrease of 16 per cent in the price
of hides causes an increase of about
% per cent in the price of shoes.

Should Equalize Appraisals.
(Orleans County Monitor. J


This paper believes that there is evil
ldence of great need for a state taxation
equalization board in recent grand list
figures given out from the state office,
and in events recently developed in con-
Injection with certain Rutland county
lists. The detail of such plan would
needs be worked out carefully, but other
states have such boards and it is believed
great benefit would result in Vermont
from such plan. Brattleboro is said to
have the second largest list of any town
or city in Vermont, but Brattleboro may
or may not have the second largest prop
Ierty value based on actual sale values
One town sets piece of property in the
list at $4,000, for example, and raises
81 tax, while the next town might set
he property in the list at $1,000 and raise
a 50 tax. We need greater equality for
taxation and greater equality of tax
rates.

GETTING BACK FROM VACATION

The Montpelier Argus publishes the
following bit of vacation philosophy:
The little boy who kept hitting his
head with a hammer explained on IN
duiry that he did it because he felt
so good when he stopped. The little
boy had the true philosophy of vaca-
zionist About once year we get a
yearning to go away from wherever
we are, to be different, to get out of
our chosen path of life; and after much
preparation and worry about where to
and when and how to go, we make the
break and are gone. And we are only
away a little while when we begin to
get restless, we have new yearning,
this time it is to get back, back to
the comfortable routine of the years,
back to the coy bed with just the
right size pillow, back to the easy
chair of the front porch, back to the
little nook in the scheme of things as
they are; away from the half cooked
yet burnt food of the woods, away
from the mosquitoes of the summer cot
tage; away from the knock kneed nu-
ditv of the beaehesl We have feeling
away down in the deep dim recesses
of our soul that IS not the going
away that helps; it's the coming back.
Pleasure of getting back to work, re-
newed vigor for our regular tasks and
increased physical strength are the only
justification for vacations. They are
an unjust tax on production if they
give only idleness and expense to the
vacationist. But if they restore his
vigor, increase his love for his labor
or enlarge his productive capacity they
are wise and beneficial investment.
In the spirit with which he returns to
his regular duties each vacationist may
find whether or not he deserved the va
cation he has had.

Natures laws cause plants to grow
And make the dandelions blow,
But laws of man drawn cussedly fine
Forbid thing turning into wine.
It's wrong to stimulate at all
For if you do you're bound to fall
Into the clutches of the law
Which you awaits with hungry nav
Whene'er you've done some simple thing
To add to life little '.zing."

When you at last can pass away
According to our home made laws

tOmobeel horses wont half to werk eny

horses left by that time for them to
have a very big of celebration over it.
Horses look most comfortable wen
they are standing still thinking and most
ixciting wen they are using their gallops
to run to a fire. Fire horses are the
lucRiest because they can see all the
fires close without having pleecemen
push them back
Horses have long tails for , perposes,

CRATE serprize to the flies because they
knew the horse wasenU even looking at
them. This proves that enybody that
wunts to be perfeckly safe awt to look
in at leest directions.
A runaway horse is a CRATE site The
best way to stop them is to stand rite
in frunt of them with your arms
stretched out and yell, Hay, hay, but
most people try it without getting off of
the pavement, making the horse think
they are jest giving him Encouragement.
Horses drink by putting their faces
down and leeving the wattir run up
their neck. This would proberly feel
sunnier than wat is does if the horses
wasent used to it,
Coal wagons and ice wagons genrelly
always have horses, more on account
of the heavy load than on account Of the
