These flies are about the size of) honeybees, and ure most an:i ying to horses' legs. IJnUlies deposit small yellow eggs, gat cement them to hairs at the time th.y are laid. During the late fall and eariy winter the eggs enter the horse's ninutlij Later the eggs hatch in the stomach, and develop into thfe larval firm known as bots. They attach themselves to the lining of the stom ach. where they remain and consume Some of the nutriment that should nourish the horse. During late spring ai:*l early summer the bats pass out in the manure. They at once burrow into the ground, where they undergo dunges in their life cycle, and soon fuienre as fully developed botflies. Hots produce no definite symptoms, neither, is there any satisfactory treat ment that can be applied. Prevention U easy, and practicable to a consider il'le extent. Every few days during the fall months nil hairs should be ! dipped off that contain eggs of bot- j fliw. 15y thus reducing the number of i the number of bots will be re- i duceil. Pigs on Rape Pasture Require Some Tankage Tests in hog feeding conducted by W. I,. Rnbisnn of the Ohio experiment station show an advantage of feeding some tankage as n supplement to corn to piss on rape pasture. Some farm ers have believed that rape pasture al<>nc is a satisfactory supplement for corn. 1'igs weighing 30 pounds and fed a ration of corn 10, tankage 1, parts by weight, for IS weeks on rape pasture weighed 171 pounds at the end of the WlH-riment. A similar lot of pigs full fed on corn alone l>ut on rape pasture for 18 weeks made a final weight of 14C pounds. . Tlte average daily gain for the tnnk ajo-fpii group is 1.1 pounds and nine tenths of a pound for the lot full fed on corn alone. The tests show that rape Is a valu able pasture for swine, hut It will not fu".v supplement a full-f id ration of i corn. Self-Feeders for Swine Fattening Reduce Cost Wherever labor can be saved on the farm and results accomplished just as Satisfactorily, by all means save ths labor. Results of experiments at the 1 diversity of Missouri College of Agri culture with self-feeders for fattening h?2s show that those eating from a ?e!f-feeder gain more rapidly than these depending on the band-feeding methods. The amount of feed neces sary to produce n pound of pork re mains practically the same, but the amount of labor Is usually reduced. It Is this decrease in labor which enters 'is a factor in cheapening the cost of producing pork.

We have seen the calamitous condition of pavements smashed by pressure of some kind. What is the answer? In the fall we tlnd some ronds ap pearing to be models of durability. In the spring they are wrecks. Mean while heavy trucks had been driven over them. Could there be a superfi cially plainer case of cause and ef fect? On some stretches of the very road where the collapse of the pavements ts most discouraging nothing goes wrong. There the trucks do not crush the concrete or buckle the brick pave ments. The loads are precisely the same that are hauled over the other stretches of the road. The same wheels of the same vehicles roll over sections that stand up under the test that roll over the strips that glv? away. " What, then. Is responsible? Is it the weight of the loads or Is It the manner in which the road was constructed? Is it the way the build ers failed to adapt their work to th? conditions they had to deal with? Matters of soil and drainage, ma terials and construction methods were not given proper attention. When one road along a sandy ridge, with good natural drainage, comes through a hard winter scarcely the worse for wear at any point, and an other road In the same district and the same climate, carrying the same traffic, with the same truckloads, but with spots where the subsoil Is wet aud there Is no natural drainage, is found In a state of collapse after the frost conies out of the ground, what is the logical conclusion? Is It lighter roads or closer attention to drainage and other Important features entering Into the construction of our highways? Isn't the remedy to be sought In the more scientific adjustment of the highways to the natural changes In the direction of larger vehicle units and more economical transportation on the public roads? The question is vital to the solution of the whole problem of county high ways. their construction and mainte nance. It Is of immense importance to all producers and consumers. I,t Is a basic transportation problem for America's millions of. people who w::nt to do the sensible thing and the right thing by all interested. One of thv gratifying evidences of appreciation of the value of truck transportation throughout the country Is the determination of responsible au thorities to have real highways, not merely makeshifts. They have profit ed by experience and realize that to meet the transportation conditions the highways must be constructed accord ingly. Concrete Car Stand Is Big Farm Convenience There Iws been considerable com plaint in the past from roadside mar kets, because there is a tendency for motorcars that are stopped to buy Kfcsr Concrete Car Stand. the farm produce to block the traffic. S. D. Iloldermnn, near Morris, 111., not wishing to either discontinue his profitable business, or to be the cause of a traffic jam, had this concrete car stand built with the permission of the state highway authorities. Smoothness in New Road Is Important Requisite It is now reulized that smoothness In the new road is one of the requi sites to insure continuous good sur face. If the road contractor turns over a road that shows rolls to the slightest degree these rolls mean the ultimate destruction of the road, for tliey fur nish the means for starting the pound ing of the heavy motortruck wheels, which eventually break up the surface. Most Important Thing in Late Hatched Chickens The most important thing in the success of late-hatched chicks costs nothing but labor, feed and water. Neglect giving the growing chicks these essentials, and all the up-to-date poultry quarters, ? high-grade feeds, food Stock behind the chicks will prove of no avail. Comfortable quar ters, plenty of fresh water, shade lb some form, coupled with good feed will go a long way toward making a ?oct' oca with the late-hatched chick. H !' i J 1 ; > .

"SPIRIT OF MUSIC" Here is the clay model by Albin Pol asek, well-known sculptor, which is to be cast in bronze to adorn Michigan avenue In Chicago. It is called the "Spirit of Music." The statue Is six teen feet high and will be placed on u granite platform five feet high. Pol asek thinks music a sexless art and for this reason he lias combined In bis statue the strength of the male and the beauty and grace of the fe male ljorm. Curious Use for Ice. Up to the present it has been pos sible to leave only small cavities Id concrete, but a big advance has been brought about by a ? new foreign method. Pieces of lee that correspond to the measurements of the cavity re quired are embedded In the concrete mass, and small channels are left to allow the water to run off when the Ice melts. The process is of particular advantage in reinforcing concrete with iron. The. Iron purts are not built In during the stamping, but are attached to the blocks of ice before the work is begun. The repeated moistening usually necessary In concrete work is not required :n this process, for the melting of the ice makes up the loss by evaluation. 1'rineess Wuhletka, of the Cherokee Indian tribe, wllo is a halfbreed, her I father being a French Canadian and her mother a daughter of Spy Buck of the Cherokecs, has just proved before such research workers as Dr. Walter F. Prince, director of the American Society of Psychical Research, Professor Hodge and others, that she possesses peculiar powers of seeing into the future and also delving into the past. Her ability to read minds is remarkable. She is seen here reading the mind of Mrs. John Westfield in New York.
