"My wife and I," he said, "have a

off we have a new addition to show
him. That pleases him, you bet.
"The last time the colonel came to

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.

(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

| 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

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.

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.
Plum Trees.
Plum trees require comparatively !
little pruning. In the case of young ;
trees, shorten in tho strongest shoots
w hich outgrow tho others to the extent
of unbalancing the form and symmetry
of tho tree.

LouiBvllle, Ala.?In referring to her
recent troubles, Mrs. Bessie E. Bruce,
of this town, says: "After childbirth.
I suffered greatly with wasting, and
various womanly troubles, and w-as in
bed for six weeks. Half the time, I
could not move, only when I was
turned over by some one. Oh! how 1
suffered, no one knows.
I was told that I would have to go
through an operation, but at the time
of the operation, I was too weak to
undergo it. and I decided there was no
chance for me.
As a last resort, my mother advised
mo to try Cardui. the woman's tonic,
and my husband bought me a bottle.
1 could tell from the first that it was
doitfg me pood, and by the time I had
taken the first bottle, I could stand on
my feet. I pot another bottle, and
before I hail taken it up. I was just
iiuuui wen. 1 no pains all stopped,
and in a short while I was able to do
my work.
I know that Cardul saved my life,
and 1 would not be without It in the
house. 1 almost waited too long, and

wait, but to begin taking Cardul at
