Upton Sinclair, commenting in Baltimore on the enormous fortunes now existing in America, said: v "In no other place the world over are such fortunes to be found. One reason is that our laws regulating financial transactions are less stringent than those of other countries, and another reason is that even where we have laws our magnates forget about them. "In fact," Mr. Sinclair concluded with a laugh, "the histories of some of our largest American fortunes show clearly that on the door of success is push' in brass."?Chicago Record-llerald.

The bl> [ CAROLINA CONTROLLING THE DAN r Adult Female of (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The stuble lly is regarded by the department of agriculture as a nien1 ace, not oniy to domestic animals, but to human beings, and this is the season of the year when means for exI terminating and controlling the pest | should be adopted. In this connection the department recommends, among I other things, the Horigo lly trap, a simI pie, easily constructed contrivance, as one of the most effective tneas ures in destroying the fly. The tlies : frequently attack mankind, and during ; severe outbreaks men engaged in field work are often annoyed by theui. In the southern part of the United : StateB the stablo fly is a source of 1 great danger to live stock, and to the welfare of the community nractl ! cally throughout the year. In the ! Northwest the fly Belflom becomes suf! flciently numerous to cause annoyance except during the latter part of the summer and early fall. The most serious damage caused by the fly, howi ever, is in the grain belt. Practically all wnrm-blooded nnl; mals are attacked by flies, while mules ! in general seem to bo more annoyed | than any other animals. Horses and cattle are severely attacked, while | sheep and goats are prey for the fly. which attacks them on all parts of the body not protected by the wool, particularly the legs, and hogs are subject to annoyance by the pest, especially when they are in pasture. Trapping the FliesTho Hodge fly trap is designed fo as to catch flies both as they attempt j to enter and leavo w indows. It consists, essentially, of a light wooden I Hodge Fly Trap, Showing Where the Fly Enters. | framework made to lit closely in a window. On the floor of this framei work is a bait pan containing any kind I of food material attractive to tin- flies. | Both the inner and outer sides of the frame are covered with screen wire, arrapged in such a way as to provide three rows of openings leading to the ! interior. 1 One opening is a space one-half inch I wide between the floor of the trap and I the lower screen wire. There is ! 1 one such space on each side running entirely across the window. These openings admit flies directly ' Into the space containing the bait. This is covered by a roof of screen 1 wire along the ridge of which holes, largo enough for flies to pass, are punched at two inch intervals, llighj er up the sides are two rows of openings formed by bending the screen j wire inward and upward to form two horizontal folds running ucross the window. A series of small holes are also punched along tho Inner edge of each of these folds. Thus there are three rows of openings on each side of the i trap, one at the bottom leading direct\ ly to the bait and from there through tho holes in the ridge to the interior | of tho trap. The two above this are i openings through folds of wiro which lead directly to the interior of the | trap. These openings higher up on ( the sides provide a way of entrance tn trim t?VDn it Ihn <Hoa nmiwWl aro so numerous as to stop up tho openings in tho ridgo covering the bait. Protection of Live Stock From the Fly. A mixture of fish oil (one gallon), I oil of pine tar (two ounces), oil of | pennyroyal (two ounces), and kero! sene (ono-half pint) has been found j to bo very effective in keeping tho (lies 1 oft live stock when applied lightly but thoroughly to the portions of animals not covered with blankets or nets. Work animals may be largely protected from the pest hy means of coverings. One type found very effectivo and inexpensive during an outbreak of the pest in Texas consisted of a blanket made of double thickness of burlap so arranged as completely to cover the back, sides and neck of the animal. The legs are then coverod by means of old trousers slipped on over the feet and tied ovor the back, leather nets or strips of leather attached to the bridle aid In keeping the flies from the head. Tho ordinary fly net has proven of little value as it only tends to displace the flies temporarily. IGEROUS STABLE FLY \ the Stable Fly. Tho thorough screening of all windows and doors of stables has been found successful and desirable. When barns are screened care should be taken to brush the Hies from the animal* when they are about to enter, by means of nets over tho doorway, or with sacks. Littlo can be done to protect range Htock from the flies. On i ling fnnns a freshly plowed trench offers considerable protection to swine, i The sides of the trenches may be smeared with petroleum which is rubbed tiff on 111., nnlmnla orwl into no a repellaut. Destruction of Immature Stages and Prevention of Breeding. Since straw stacks have been found , to be the principal breeding places of the stable lly in the grain belt, the ! proper care of the straw is by far the most important step in control. The straw should be stacked more carefully than is ordinarily done when it is desired to keep it for protection and focal for live stock. This may be | accomplished by making the sides of the stack nearly vertical and rounding it up on top, in order the better to shed the rain. So far as is possible, all straw which Is not required for winter food for stock should be dis osod of immediate- ' ly by burning or by scattering It over 1 the land soon after thrashing, and subsequently plowing it under, or by burning the stack. The plowing I under of the straw is the most ndvis- i able method of procedure, as by this practise large amounts of humus are added to the soil. Oat straw is most generally used for feeding purposes, and it is this straw which forms the principal breeding grounds for flies. ' It is, therefore, important that all the oat straw needed for seed purposes or bedding be baled and stored under cover, and that tho remainder bo > promptly burned or scattered. All straw stacks not consumed by stock during the winter should be promptly disposed of in the early spring, as these stacks furnish Hies continuously during the spring and summer. DAMPNESS IN POULTRY HOUSE Modern Building Usually Depends Upon Ventilation to Prevent It From Becoming Uncomfortable. < Ity A. C. SMITH. Minnesota Experiment Station.) A prolonged period of unusually damp weather is always a trying experience for poultrymen. Tlio modern poultry house usually depends upon ventilation to prevent it from becoming uncomfortable from excessive humidity, which is an exceedingly diflicult tiling to do during a prolonged period of damp weather, i Bitter is usually of such material that it absorbs water readily and at such times as mentioned above becomes intolerably damp. Because of the fowls' ; close and constant contact, damp litter causes more colds and cases of roup than extremely low temperatures, and is on that account most damaging to the health of the fowls, which can endure dirty litter almost to tin; point of fllthiness with less harmful effect. Remove the damp litter at onto, even though it has just been put in. Xo litter at all would be better than the damp litter. Occasionally one must expect to find the weather against him. Even poultrymen cannot expect to find it all sunshine. Make the best of it and supply new and dry litter at a trilling cost, rather than j sustain big losses in fowls or egg pro J duct ion. probably both. CAREFUL FFFDINC PAYS RFRT Cows at Minnesota University Farm Give Much Larger Yield Than Those Throughout State. (By T. L. HAKCKKIl. University I'.irm, St. Paul, Minn.) From a careful investigation wo Hurt that our common cows are capable of producing a much larger yield than is secured from the average common cow in the state, during the past decade wo have always had at the i iimeawiii uiu venuijr iarin, ill me dairy herd, a number of common \ rows; that is, cows with no dairy ; heredity. The averago yield from these common cows, for 23 yearly ' records, is r?,000 pounds of milk, and 222 pounds of butter; which last, valued at 27 cents per pound, is equal j in round numbers to $60 for butter alone. The average receipt per common cow in the state is $46.10; which shows that the average cow is yielding $14 less per annum than she might j easily yield if given the same care and feed as are given the cows at univer- j sity farm.
