How He Got Even
An Excitable moloiist, having '
been stopped by a policeman, j
became angry and, among other
things, called the policeman an j
ass. 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

house, met a little boy at the

"Is your mother home?"
"Yes, sir," said the boy, politely.
The agent walked across the

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."

PROTECT STOCK FROM FLIES
Department of Agriculture Recommends
Mixture of Soap and Kerosene?Use
Spray or Wash.
(By CHARLES I. BRAY. 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.
