Swat the Fly.

The time to combat the fly is before
he begins to fly.
That is to say, If you really want to
keep your house free from flies the
easiest way to do so Is to begin to do
so as early in the Spring as you think
of 1t.
OF course, if you live in the country
and there are rubbish piles near the
house, any manure piles in gardens or
stable, have these either cleared away
or covered tightly.
Then look to your screens. II there
are any breaks in them, mend them.
II you can't afford to have new MEETINGS
stretched in the frames, then patch the
breaks with little pieces of wire netting
or even of mosquito netting. You can
make a fairly neat job of this patching
If W. try. and can make q badly torn
scrt&i quite flyproof.
Old screens that have not broken
often can be vastly improved and
strengthened by painting. Special paint
is sold by some paint dealers for this
purpose. The point Is to- use thin.
quick drying paint and to spread it
rapidly, with the screen lying fiat, so
that excess paint Immediately drips
through the interstices between the
wires.
OF utmost Importance is it to keep
all food covered within doors, for food
always attracts flies. Keep sugar bowls
behind glass or wooden doors; don't
leave them on the sideboard or pantry
shelf.
Make sure, too, that the refrigerator
is in good condition, with tight-shut-
ting doors, so that no possibility exists
Of a fly invasion of this citadel of fam
lily health.

A Little Money in Time,

Is there any more fatuous sight than
the parent who refuses TO give her child
enough to make O start In life on, be-
cause she never had any one help her,
and nobody helped her husband? 1t
is not stinginess-simply short-sighted
ness.
Some day she is going to die, and her
money and property will 60 to her chill
dren. Yet it may go to them when it
will be of little value. Money is worth
incalculably more when 1t is needed for
financing a sons future than when it Is
needed to pay his debts, or for his sub
sistence.
Every mother, and father, too. for
that matter should paste somewhere
where her eye will see 1t, daily, a pla-
card reading, BE Wise in Time" One
young man, whose chances for future
success were seriously crippled by lack
of funds, suggests that the inscription
be printed in every parents check book
OF course, ones son should reach the
top notch by his own efforts, but If one
has faith in his ability to do so, why not
help along with money that will never
be needed anyway? If that money
which will be his in the future, will help
him at all, it will help him now Many
legacies are like cargoes of food that
reach starving men when they are past
salvation.
just what reason has any parent for
insisting that her child make his own
way In the world? To say that he
should, and then to carry out ones
opinion in action, is merely giving O
hostage to fortune. Even with the as
sistance of money boy will have a
hard enough field to hoe. What good Is
money, IL 1t Is not used generously and
kindly with ones children?

she is stingy, distrustful, without con-
fidence In him. or what?

Even people who think they do not

that they could single out many of the

shrieks of the bluejay, the watery notes

their names. the rattle, of fiickers and

This new uniform consists Of a bright
blue fatigue cap trimmed with white
cord, the short chasseur coat made OF
dark blue material and set of at the
seams with cord and pants of the wide
Zouave type of light grayish blue, made
to buckle around the ankle under the
high Zouave leggings.
Several of the companies Of this
regiment, dressed up in their new uni

quarters Camp Anderson.
The four companies of Cavalry that
have just arrived at the Seventh street
park are companies B, e. G and I Of
the I'd United States Cavalry. All
the men are mounted on fine horses.
There are 81 men in each company.
They are commanded by Capts. Stol-
man. Field and Bracket and Lieut..
KimbaI. They are regarded as very
efficient corps, evidence of this having
been given in their recent march
through Texas.
The clerks of the Post ONCE Depart
ment have organized themselves into
a military company which will be COM
manded in case of an emergency by
Capt. Scott of Pennsylvania, who was
noted for gallantry in the Mexican War.
For drill instruction this company has
retained Sergt. Thomas A. Buckley Of
the Marine Corps, who is regarded as
one of the best non commissioned off,
GERS in this line of duty in the United
States.
Volunteer regiments from the various
Northern States, as well as contingents
of the Regular Army, are still pouring
into Washington. They are being quar-
tered either in the city proper or In the
vicinity.
Capt. Dodd's Boston Rife Company,
70 men, is quartered at 200 G street
north. These men have the Whitney
rifles, saber and bayonet. Their uni
form is light blue pants, red shirts. dark
gray overcoats and fatigue caps. It was
the promptness of this company during
the fire few nights ago that saved the
dwelling of John Watt, the Presidents
gardener, from destruction. The men
broke with axes into a small building
and hauled out the hose and reel.

days the eggs hatch and the young
grubs or larvae burrow into the
skin,> migrating to positions just
beneath the skin along the back or
sides of the animal. There the grubs
produce small holes in the hide
through which they get air and
through which they later emerge
when full grown. Having left the
host, the mature grubs seek pro-
lection in manure or soil and
change into adult flies. The life
cycle, from egg to adult, requires
an entire year.
Losses from grubs may be pro-
duced in several ways, according
to DR.. Boyd. The adult fly may
cause loss through annoying
the cattle and preventing them
from feeding regularly. Cattle
heavily infested with grubs fatten
less rapidly, and carcasses that are
badly invested have to be trimm-
ed. Animals are occasionally made
very ill through crushing of the
grubs, and milk production often is
reduced. However, damage to the
hides caused by the holes and scar
tissue resulting from the develop
ment and escape of the grubs, is
the most important.
Among the control methods
which will reduce the number of
these pests is the use of fly repel-
lants, such as oil or fly sprays, ap-
piled literally along the legs of
cattle. Particular attention should
be given young animals since they
are most often affected. Protecting
animals with natural barries, such
as shade, water or sheds will help.
Systematic removal of the grubs
from the backs of animals and de-
stroying them will greatly reduce
infestation in subsequent years
and if persisted in will completely
eliminate the pests. Grubs may be
successfully removed from the
backs of cattle by pressure applied
with the fingers. Care should be
takn, however to avoid crushing
the grubs inside the skin. Further
information on the life history and
control of this insect is contained
in Farmers Bulletin No. 1896

Agricultural Notes
Tells How To Shear Sheep, Handle

"OO1
With the annual wool crop ripe
for harvesting, P. A. Anderson.
sheep specialist of the division of
animal husbandry at University
Farm, calls attention to the fact
that much of the value of wool de-
ponds upon the way in which the
shearing is done and the manner
of handling the fleece. AS points
needing special attention, he sug-
gests the following:
Be sure the sheep are dry before
shearing.
Shear on a clean floor, or use a
canvas cover. Keep surface clean
for each sheep shorn.
Avoid second-cuts as far as posi-
BILE; short fibers have little value.
Keep Fleece together as removed
from sheep. Proper holding of sheep
avoids much struggling.
Remove seedy hicks and tags
from rear parts before tying fleece.
Keep the white wool or skin side
uppermost.
In trying wool, use either the
woolbox or the blanket-roll method.
Do not pack or roll fleece too
tightly; just enough to hold it to-
gether well.
Use paper Irvine only. Irvine Of
any other description will lower the
value of wool.
Store wool in dry place and pro-
tect from soiling until ready to
sell.
For shipping pack fleeces tightly
in regular wool sacks that are
clean.
After shearing, mark the light
shearing and UNDERESTIMATE types
of sheep for disposal.

Cattle Grubs Cost Millions to
Farmers

Cattle Grubs Cost Millions to
Farmers
Cattle grubs or ox-warbles inflict
losses estimated by the U. s. De-
partment of Agriculture to equal
something like so to 100 million
dollars a year, large proportion
of which must be borne by the
farmers who produce these cattle.
DR.. w. I. Boyd of the veterinary
division at University Farm says
that these insects are not widely
distributed in Minnesota, being con-
fined to the southern section, but
where they do occur they present
serious problem and definite steps
should be taken for their control.
The adult stage of the cattle
grub is fly, commonly known as
the heel fly, which appears in the
spring soon after cattle go on pas
ture. It deposits its eggs in or near
the heels Of the animals, often
greatly disturbing them. In a few
