Now is the Time to Swat the fly.
Uncle Sam is waging a relent
less war on the deadly housefly
and in a late bulletin prepared by
the Department of Agriculture,
valuable information is given on
the best means of combating this
deadly pest. The most effective
way of exterminating the fly, ac
cording to the bu'letin, is to erad
icate his breeding places. The
breeding season of the fly begins
early in March and continues
throughout the spring and summer
months. All dirt should be re
moved from the premises, stables
cleaned and decaying vegetable?
destroyed.
The fly has rightly been called
the undertaker's traveling sales
man. and in addition to his regular
line of ‘‘typhoid bugs," he carries a
side line of tuberculosis, asiatic
cholera and disease germs. Now
is the time to “swat the fly.”

Our worst fault, says a great
writer, is not seeing that we have
any. There can be no repentance
over wrongs and ill condition when
we are sure that the blame rests
entirely with some one else, and
the spirit that is satisfied with its
own goodness and attainments
ceases to grow. The struggle to
overcome faults and weeknesses is
hard, but to feel no need for such a
struggle is death.
It is 9aid that it requires the
strength of twelve men to be equal
to one horse power. It would re
quire 840,000 men to produce as
much enegy as the 70,000 horse
power developed by the turbine
machinery in a big Atlantic steam
ship. If the men worked on an
eight-hour shift, it would require
2,520.000 men to drive the vessel
across the ocean. The power of
two and a half million of men is
concentrated in onp engine.
The Split Log Drag.
The split log drag has contribu
ted more toward the economic
maintenance of public highways
than any implement cf modern
usage. It does not re quire special
acts of the legislature, bond issue?
nor expensive educational cam
paigns to make it available as
usually precedes construction
work. A drag can be buiit or pur
chased for $20, and is easily oper
ated by anyone who can drive a
team. We need more drags in this

SINGLE HEDGE AND MATTED
ROW SYSTEMS BOTH USED1
WITH PROFIT IN ARKANSAS —
GIVE BED GOOD POolTION.
Strawberries may be set either in
the spring or in the fall, though spring
setting is more desirable, as this gives
an opportunity for the ground to be
cleared and broken in the fall. Thor
ough preparation of the new strawber
ry bed is extremely important. It pays
to give the n«w bed the most desirable
conditions porfuble.
At planting time it protects the
plants from the sun and drying wind.
A damp burlap cloth has been .found
practical by some culturists, while
others prefer to place them in a pail
with a cover or a basket lined with
cloth.
In the single hedge row system, run
ners are permitted to grow in rows
sufficient to^fill the space between the
original plants. This farms a con
tinuous row. By this method the rows
should toe tiiree feet apart, and the
plants set 20 inches apart in the row.
In the matted row—the one most
used by commercial growers, the rows
are placed three and one-half to four
feet apart, and plants 20 to 24 Inches
apart in the row. These are allowed
to spread during the summer making
a row about 18 inched wide.
The essential features in setting the
strawberry plants are: rapid planting '■
without the plant being dangerously ,
exposed to sun or wind, and to see that
the crown is not covered with soil or j
extends above the surface. Also to
have the soil pressed firmly on the
roots, with the riot system being
spread out in fan-slianed fashion or
as nearly so as possible.
These results may be best, accom
plished by a man making a V-shaped
opening In the soil with a spade, dib !
ble or grub hoe, and a second man i

This Disease Is Frequently the Cause
of Deatii Among Chickens.
While investigating the outbreaks
of tuberculosis in cattle and hogs,
many states have found that the same
disease is prevalent among fowls, par
ticularly turkeys and chickens,
though a great many other birds are
susceptich to the disease. Tuberculo
sis in fowls is transmitted from one
bird to another, and naturally starts
from a diseased bird being placed in
, a healthy Rock.
If the flocks do not keep in good

this? is quite frequently a good sign
of tuberculosis. Again, if there is an
jccasional death in the flock without
:inv apparent cause, the hird should
be examined carefuly for the follow
ing symptoms:
The liver is most commonly affect
ed ,and it is here that it would l><
'■lost noticeable to people experienced
with the disease. There are als<
white or gray: h .colored nodules o
various sizes protruding avove th
outer surface of the liver. When th
nodules art' opened they present a
cheesy formation and are sometimes
gritty. The spleen and intestines art
attacked, and an examination will
shftw nodules sunilat to those describ
ed in the liver
The extent to which wild birds,
such as sparrows, pigeons, crows and
others may spread the disease is not
definitely known, though it is quite
probable that such is the rose, as'
these birds are sum i ptible to tlie dis
ease.
Owners of the hi" Is should b '
careful to ki ep their flocks free
from the disease, as it is almost
impossible to rid a flock of tuhercii
losis once it has been infected. Dis
eased fowls should be separated from j
the remainder of the flpck, and all
dead birds should lie burned at once.

Causes ot Rheumatism.
Muscular rheumatism of the shoul
der and upper arm may be produced
by sitting in a draughty train or near
m open window, or by a wetting much
.n the same way as chronic rheutna
ism is provoked by cold and damp.
Vnd, again, cold and damp, combined
vith errors or diet, are the main
auses of rheumatoid arthritis, or
rheumatic gout.

Strengthening the Semi Waves
A FTER traveling- a certain distance the
electric wave which carries the human
voice along the telephone wire becomes attenuated and
speech becomes unintelligible.
Just as in the old stage coach days fresh relays of
horses at regular intervals along the way, enabled the
traveler to continue his journey with undiminished speed, so by
means of loading coils inserted at proper intervals, the electrical
waves are strengthened and the human voice carried great dis
tances.
The loading coil is one of the many improvements and dis
coveries which the Bell engineers have applied to the Long Distance line* to
facilitate and extend the service.
