After he had paid his fine the judge reproved him for what : he had said to the officer. ] "Then I must not call a police man an ass?" he asked. 1 "Certainly not," answered the ' judge. "You must not insult 1 the police." "But you don't mind if I call an ass 'policeman,' do you?" i "Why, no," smiled the judge, "not if it gives you any satisfac- ; tion." 1 The motorist retired to the door. Then with a sweeping 1 bow to the judge and to the officer who arrested him, he said: 1 "Good-day, policeman." i Strictly Accurate An agent, approaching a 1 house, met a little boy at the gate says The Pittsburg Post, and asked: "Is your mother home?" "Yes, sir," said the boy, politely. The agent walked across the long lawn and, after rapping several times without receiving an answer, returned to the vouth. saying: "I thought you said your mother was at home." "Yes, sir; she is," replied the boy. "But 1 have rapped several times without receiving an an swer. "That may be, sir," sa:d the boy, "I don't live here."

Colorado Experiment Station.) During the summer months, when cattle are most likely to bo botherod with flies, there are many people who wish to know what can be done as a preventive. There are a number of methods sometimes recommended for this purpose, some of which are supposed to keep flies off the animal by virtue of their bad odor or greasy nature, and some which are supposed to be sprayed on to kill the ilies. Considerable doubt exists as to the benefits to be obtained from using any of these treatments, or as to the relative value of the different ways of combating flies. For spraying the hacks of cattle at milking time, there is possibly nothing more reliable than kerosene emulsion. The following recipe given by the United States department of agriculture is one of the best ways of making this: Dissolve one-half pound of hard soap in one gallon of hot water, and while still at near boiling point add two gallons kerosene, and emulsify by use of a force pump or agitator ni some kind. Dilute with water, one part emulsion to eight parts water, and use as a spray, dip or wasb. SUITABLE D0GPR00F FENCE Arrangement Tried by Government Rangers and Found Satisfactory?
