Trap Poison, Flypaper
VIII Hold Fly IN Check
Preventive Measures 0 My VIII Keep
Most Deadly House Pest from Heavy
Toll Of Human Lives.

The most successful weapons against
the housefy, a mans deadliest enemy Of
all insect pests, are the screen, trap,
sticky hypaper, poison and careful sani-
tatiOn. Where poison can be used it is
very effective offered as the o. A. C. ex-
pertinent station recommends as fol-
lows:
Formaldehyje-commereial strength
2 ounces; sugar ounces; water 10
ounces. The solution is placed in a
shallow dish where the flies can reach
it with no other source of drink. After
drinking of the poison they die near the
dish.
Different makes of fly traps may be
seen at stores and fairs, and most of
them are inexpensive and effective. The
screened in porch with screened win
dows and doors will keep most of the in
truders out, and those that do sneak in
may be killed with swatter or poison, or
caught on fypaper or in traps.
Hordes of flies often breed in the man
ure piles, which may be covered or
screened in. Care with the garbage and
with litter about the home grounds will
send the females further away to de-

Helpful Pointers Listed
On Cullng Of Poultry
YigOr, Color, Body Shape, Eye, Melt and
Time Of Starting to Lay, Are
Signs Of Layer.

Late molting hens are practically GER
tain to be the best layers during the fol-
lowing year, but poultrymen are caution
ed about going to extremes in making
this factor the only one in selecting the
layers. How it may be wisely used to
Gull out the weak layers is indicated in
a new o. A. C. extension bulletin, Sug-
gestive Points in Culling the Poultry
Flock, by H. C. Cosby of the extension
service.
The best layers have dry, ragged, fray
ed and brittle feathers and the tail fea-
theirs are badly worn during the sum
mer and fall months. The poor layers
will have more wing primary feathers in
July and August than the heavy layers.
Loose feathering is usually character
istic of the coarse, late maturing bird,
and the low producing hen.
Any mismanagement that checks egg
production in summer will force molt-
ing, which must be considered by one
culing the flock.
When the hen starts laying the whole
abdomen becomes dilated, the pelvic
bones between which the eggs must pass
become widespread, the keel is forced
down. and the lateral processes are
sprung forward.
The fat goes out of the skin with
heavy laying, leaving the skin soft and
velvety and abdomen pliable.
at is not safe to Judge hen solely
on the basis of any one of the points
named in the bulletin" says Mr.. Cosby.
"Such procedure will result in untold
errors. Only when all indications of
good layers are applied to a hen can
intelligent judgment on her laying abil-
ity be made"
The bulletin is free to poultrymen,
farmers, and others interested.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmers Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies. in
an interview on the subject made the as
tonshing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
Jected Is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
of two sizes. medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Miner q Co., Binghamton, n Y, for
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper Advertisement.

Skunks, we like their holes and so I
talk Of their homes and what luck we
would have if we tried to get them.
You see, in the summer time
they're wide awake and they're smart
and quick, and no one can get the
better of them. They eat grass and
pumpkins and apples and vegetables
of all sorts. Mrs. Sally Skunk, nv
neighbor, only has four little children
while l have seven, and my nelghbor,
Mrs. Sadie Skunk, has only five. Five
makes one more than four but five Is
still two less than seven.
"Ah, well, we all get on together.
Yes, the Mrs. and Miss Skunks are
all most friendly. That is why we
three share a hole together and all
of us, with all of our children, stay to-
gether and keep house together
Little baby skunks make dear lit
tie pets when they are taken young
enough. All, yes, it has often been
said the Little Skunks are tanner and
nicer and more fun than little kittens,
and when they're made pets of when
they're young they do not get a chance
to become at all ferociOus"
At that all the Little Skunks souealed
and said: Mamma, what does Zero
cious mean?"
"Ferocious means wild" said Mrs
Skunk. "a ferOcious Skunk would be
a wild and angry and rather danger

"Now it's bit ferocious Of the
Daddy Skunks to Kill or eat their
little ones, as they would If given a
chance, and as the Rabbits fathers
would, If given a chance. At least the
Rabbit fathers would kill their young.
"But the Mother Skunks and the
Mother Rabbits know enough to keep
their little ones away when they are
young.
"And then the daddles do not see
them until they are bigger, when they
ike them better. All, well, we're
pretty little creatures. and we can
be very gentle. and very nice, and we
can be rather horrid
