Are you doing all that you can to get rid of the early flies? If not you will certainly have a good crop to con tend with during the summer. Keep a swatter in each - room and swat eyery fly that enters. If the house is thoroughly screened this will not be a very difficult task. First be sure that the house is .well screened and this means that all doors and win dows are screened and that the screens fit. Another thing don't hold the door open to . talk -w someone on the porch for the flies will see the opening and make a dart for it. Screen the porch if possible. This will mean many less flies for the kitchen. Traps are one of the most effective weapons that we use against flies. They may be very easily made from a few strips of light lumber 1"JX 1" and fly screening. Make at least two of these Put . a large one near the stables to get the flies before they get to the house and another one near the kitchen door. Keep them well baited with buttermilk, corn bread, fruit parings, etc. Poison may also be usecLyery effec tively. The best cheap poison is one part of bulk formaldehyde to ten of milk. Put this up so the children will not get it. If the chickens eat the dead flies it will not hurt them. "Oh every fly that skips our swatters Will have five million sons and daugh ters,' And conntlessfl:rst andsecomi -cousins," And aunts and uncles, scores of dozens, ' And fifty-seven billion neices, So knock the blame thing - all to pieces." Some Eggs for Winter. Have you put up a supply of eggs for winter use? Since the hatching season for your .chickens is about over save the surplus eggs for winter by putting them in water glass. You have been planning to do it, so don't wait any longer. As I said before it will cost you onljt three or four cents per dozen to preserve them. Infer tile eggs are best. Take a five gal lon stone jar, wash clean and scald. Measure nine quarts of boiled water and cool, add one qt. of water- glass. Place egss in jar and cover with the solution. If you haven't enough eggs add a few each day until your jar is full. It will hold 15 doz. Keep about' 2 inches of the solution above the eggs. To Can Asparagus. Select tips of uniform size and ma turity and wash them. Cut in right length for can, scrape off tough skin and tie in bundles. Blanch lower end3 for two minutes then the entire tip for 1 to 2 minutes longer. Plunge in cold water and pack in a sterilized jar with tip up. Fill jar with brine (4 cz. salt to 1 gallon water) and process in hot water boil 1 1-2 hrs. on each of three successive days. , ; .- To Can Rhubarb. Because of its extreme -acidity rhu larb can be canned safely without pro cessings. Select young tender rhu barb and cut into 2 in. pieces or in length to fit the "jar when placed ver tically. Pack in sterilized jars in rows. Cover with fresh cold water and allow to stand 10 min. Draw off the water and again fill to overflow ing with fresh cold water. Used s'.er ilized rubber and ctp and seal at once. It is the practice with some farmers to plant their corn crop as soon as the land is ready in the spring with out any regard whatever as to the possibility of insect injury to the crop. On account of losses every year due to insects this practice is to be dis couraged. In considering the proper-time to plant the corn crop, the bud worm or southern corn root worm is probably the most -- influential factor. The worms appear most . abundantly in April; though this period varies with weatlier conditions. Farmers . should (Continued On Fourth Page)
