UNITED STATES NOTES BEST
Central and South American Nations
Have Their Currency Printed
In This Country.

The American style of banknote has
become the standard IN the countries
Of Central and South America. The
experience Of the Brazilian govern
ment led the way In this. after va
rious disappointments. First the
much-vaunted Austrian system was
tried, the notes being engraved and
printed in England under that system.
They proved a complete failure.
Counterfeiters fiourished. The Bra
zilians tried banknotes made in
France. and these were promptly and
extensively initiated as soon as the
counterfeiters could get their plates
and paper ready. Brazil tried Ger
man and English establishments, but
still without success IN the protection
Of the banknote circulation, and at
last turned to the United States and
found a type Of bills practically i'm
possible to counterfeit with success.
So it is no boast. but mere record
Of fact, to state that Americans make
the best banknotes in the world.

WAYS OF PROTECTING
ANIMALS FROM FLIES
Covering With BurIap Is One
Effective Plan.
Leather Nets or Strips Attached to
Horses Bride Aids in Keeping
Pest Away From Work Stock
-Dar<ened Stable Good.

The Importance of taking steps to
prevent the breeding of stable flies
rather than depending on protection
Of the stock when the flies are full
grown cannot be emphasized too
much. However, where this is not
done the farmer is forced to resort
to various means of warding of the
flies.
Work animals may be protected
largely from the pest by means Of
coverings. One type of covering
which has been found to be very effec-
tive and inexpensive consists Of a
blanket made of double thickness Of
burIap. so arranged as to cover COM
pleteIy the back, sides, and neck Of
the animal. The legs also are covered
sometimes by means Of old trousers
slipped over the feet and tied over
the back. Leather nets or strips of
leather attached to the bride also aid
in keeping the flies from the head.
Completely darkened stables offer

ries and rice. It has established
grades for wheat, corn, oats and cot
ton. In the near future it expects to
recommend grades for hay and other
produce. 1t has recently prepared ten
tative wool grades with a view ulti-
mately to recommending standard
grades of that commodity. A complete
classification of cattle, calves, hogs,
sheep and goats has been adopted by
the bureau for use in reporting live
stock market prices. A similar clas-
sification is in use for reporting whole
sale meat quotations. Consideration is
also being given the question of hav-
ing representative demonstrate United
States grain grades to European coun-
tries for the purpose of familiarizinS
dealers there with the standards upon
which International transactions with
the United States should be based.
Hay Producers Feel Need.
In the matter of hay farmers admit
that the marketing of the commodity
is hazardous undertaking because OF
the possibility of loss due to nisun-
Outstanding. lack Of inspection, varia-
tons in grades in different markets
differences in the manner in which
rules for grading are interpreted, and
because of sharp practices. In fact
many farmers have stated that nine
tenths of the losses in the hay business
are due to lack Of standard grades and
a uniform, impartial inspection service.
Not only does the use of STANDARD
grades result in better understanding
and confidence between producers and
buyers. but in greater satisfaction be
cause of increased monetary returns
Farmers everywhere are urged to con
duct their business of marketing upon
the sound business principle advocated
by the bureau of markets. The bureau
will De glad to advise anyone desiring
the various grades it recommends.

KILL ALL HARMFUL ANIMALS
Annual Loss Wrought by Predatory

value OF farm produce and forage de-

from every available source. Realiz-

determined to conquer 1t by sheer

His first onslaught, started In April,
made little If any impression. and he
redoubled his attack. Still the enemy
showed 40 sign of weakening. Again
and again he charged. but every rush
was met and repulsed. He was over

heavy artillery, he dashed upon the
battlefield, fighting with the implaca-
bility that from the beginning had
characterized his long career in finan-
cial warfare. This charge, too. was
easily buffeted. But no white flag was
shown, Beating a retreat, the grim
old warrior gathered his forces to-

By the middle Of June Fitzhugh was
all but car Of the pit.
When Fitzhugh formulated the pool
to corner July wheat it was understood
that, no matter what might arise, he
was to be free to follow the dictates of
his own judgment. For this and other
reasons the names of the PacktngtOwn
millionaires were never disclosed, and

His marvellous vitality gave contin-
ual wonder to his associates. He was
made Of iron. He would work eighteen
hours a day. dispatching with sureness
and speed the thousand pressing duties
that crowded upon him. taking his
meals on the wing. and requiring Of
the twenty-four but four or five hours
for sleep. Most amazing Of all, he
displayed never an i'll sign Of the red
hot tension under which he worked,
but seemed to thrive on it. He was al

His last battle with Symington Otis
was the most spectacular Of the final
trilogy. 1t began on the morning Of
July first and lasted for three terrific
days. AS the gong sounded on that
first morning Fitzhugh appeared in the
pit, girded for the fray.
With the stroke Of the opening gong

There were three of them, with orders
to sell half a million each. Then came
an unfathOmable surprise: Fitzhugh

though the resulting lack Of ventila-
ton is Objectionable. The thorough
screening of all windows and doors is
much more desirable. When screened
barns are used. care should be taken
to brush the flies from the animals,
when they are about to enter, by
means of nets over the doorway or
with sacks. Little can be done to
protect range stock from the flies.
On hog farms a freshly pIOwed
trench offers considerable protection
to the swine. The sides of these
trenches may be smeared with petro-

may be used also for protecting sheep,

hdence in the buyer and regards him
as dishonest.
To Eliminate Distrust
These are conditions that should not
exist. and the bureau OF markets has
set about in a very practical way to
help eliminate them. It maintains
that in the marketing OF produce there
should be a common and uniform ba-
sis of understanding. The various
kinds OF marketing produce should
be known by grades. and the specif-
cations for any particular grade should
be the same everywhere. For example.
potatoes of No. 2 grade should be
No. ? potatoes throughout the entire
country and not No. 1 grade In GER
tain sections And If the farmer agrees
TO ship No. . potatoes they should con-
form to the specifications for that
grade. BY eliminating the confusion
resulting from q particular grade of
produce having one meaning to the
foundation of mutual understanding
is established.
That the use OF standard grades Is
readily appreciated by producers and
buyers alike. was evidenced during the
war, when the food administration re
qufred licensed dealers to use potato
grades recommended by the bureau OF
markets. The results were so salts

There is no dark secret about how

of the Michigan potato growers was
