The stable y bites much harder, giving quite a sharp sting. It is also a blood sucker and a very per- sistent tease. The thin skin covering the legs, tlanks and abdomen of cattle and horses is the area they attack when bent on satisfying their thirst and hunger. At other times they may rest quietly on the animal's back or on the stable wall. Any person who has to milk cows during the summer period is well acquainted with the annoyance that these little creatures can create. And when the stable y ls ably assisted by the house y and the l3o1'_n_ jiy, bot_l1_ the cow and the rnllkei` have anything but a pleasant time in their endeavors to be at least half etcient in milk production. The stable y breeds principally in decay- ing refuse, horse manure, rotting straw--materials that are too fre- quently found quite close to the farm buildings during the summer period when it is possible to keep them at a distance.

To prevent the stable y from an- noying animals, providing darkened stables, pens, sheds or other shelters in which the animals can retreat is a good practice. Spraying or brushing the animals over with liquid ny re- pellants is also ad\'ised. There is no repellant of very enduring etciency. but a number of such now in common use are worth while even if thcirlt effect is so short as to require daily \ or twice a day application. This may i i seem a lot of work, but a man with 16 an auto spray holding two gallons of E 1 liquid can go over a line of twenty`! 1 cows in -ve minutes. A successful preparation that can be used as a spray is made by mixing the follow- ing:- 3 lbs. laundry soap. 1% qts. oil of tar. 4% qts. coal tar clip. 3 qts. coal oil. 4% qts. fish oil. 3 qts. whale oil. Dissolve the laundry soap in water and then add the other ingredients and more water to make 30 gallons of spray. Additional Treatment Suggested. IK : I :1uun.1uuu.:. J.l\.l.h\.llA\.|nu .,-nae vvvv .. Poisons and traps are sometimes used and can be made very efficient agents in stable y control if used with ordinary intelligence and thor- oughness. Formaldehyde is one of the best poisons to use in y de- struction. Mix two ounces of for- maldehyde with 11; quarts of milk, sweeten with brown sugar, and place in a window where the ies congre- gate. ln stables and pig pens pro- perly darkened, one window may be left uncovered to provide the neces- sary light to attract the ies to the poison dish. If the stable man will at the beginning of the season pro- vide shelves on which to place poison dishes high enough up to be out of the way and where there is light, keep the same replenished from day to day with formaldehyde, milk and sugar, and see that all other mois- ture is covered up, millions oil ies l\I)I'\ ho rlacfrnvad with little effort. ture is covered up, muuuns UL Luca can be destroyed with little effort. A general clean up daily to prevent the pest increasing by breeding is very necessary to fly control; in fact there is litle use in trying to poison or trap ies if we are so shlftless and neglectful of sanitary conditions as to permit them to breed wholesale. Clean up is the first and last word in stable y control.-L. Stevenson, Dept. of Extension, O.A.

The cost of threshing alone in threshing from the stack is less than the cost of threshing in the field, but when the cost ot stacking, which must be taken into consider- ation, is added, the cost of stacking i and threshing from the stack is a lit- tie higher. To onset this, however, the straw and grain are usually of a better quality. Considerable loss is likely to result from leaving grain in the shock a. long while waiting for the threshing machine. Especially is this true if wet weather prevails. Furthermore, if grain is stacked as soon as it is tit in case of wet weather the plow can be started. Shocks standing any length of time on elds seeded to grass kill out the grass. Consequently in iields of this kind the grain should be threshed or stack- ed as early as possible.

'.l.llU The enemy had camped near the gate ol` the little waited town. Bands of marauders passed up and down the valley that led to it, or hid in the Inountains on either hand, and swooped down with spear and -sword upon any of the unwary inhabitants who dared venture beyond their own t'or-tilications. By night the anxious townsfolk kept watch on their \va1'1s, lest a raid from the wooded heights a-hove bring the armed hosts down upon them. The greatest Lllihu U: B \.u menace to t-heir sznfety lay in the fact that their chief water swpplly lay outside the walls, and the sleep rocky path that led down to the wells was often ex- posed to the hidden re ot` the enemy archers. Ramah could not bear a long siege, and only by mannin*g their walls and clearing the path for a time could even a meagre supply of water be brought to the inhabi- tants. r.. the 'h_ra.nmrv dams of peace before 3 3. In the haup-pry days of peace the Canaamltes had invaded the land the morning and evening d1'a~wdng of water from the wells by the gate was a pretty ceremony. In the dim cool mornings when the red rays of the sun had not yet come up over the wooded hill, there would ari-se along the narrow streets of the little town gay voices and laughter, and the sound of light sandalled feet, as onth fro-m the gate tri-pped the daughters -of the people. A lovely procession they were tin their bril- liant girdles and tlzashing jewels; slim, dark maiden-s, erect and grace- ful, each bearing on her head a talll water-jvar. With light tripping feet, the nising beams of the sun spark- ling on anlilets and bracelets as they spankled on the dewy hillside, with eyes dancing from beneath their veils, the laughing procession came fotth. In the evening they saunter- ed down the path at leisure, and leaned their water jugs on the stone curl) of the well to chat together over the simple doings of their tranq-nil lives. 1: a 4 A t 1 t x c l l 1 1 I JJIU nuuuua uu unw- This was the sight that n1o1~nin:.: and evening greeted the z1dmi1'in_L: eyes of the elder M11: in tlimes of peace.

And often the whizzin~_:, of an arrow lent desperate haste to the flying feet. There were tragic days, too, when the cruel archer found his mark, and Wild shrieks- arose from the panic stricken maidens as they jostled each other in the gate, leaving one of their comrades lying bleeding i11 the path- way. And in many 3. home in Ramah there was wailing and smit- ing of the breast. A Mother in- Israel But the day of deliverance came to the little town. And it came through the devotion and courage of a Woman who led the warriors of the land out to do battle to the foe. A short distance up the long hot val- ley from the city of Raha.ui~the1'e dwelt a. remarkable w'oma.n. De- borah, the great prophetess who was judge over Israel, and who dlis- pensed justice in an open court un- der the shade of a. spreading palm tree. It was this Deborah who roused the warriors of Israel to unite under their great leader, Barak, and drive out the marauding Canaanites from their land. And Razmah and many another harassed little ham- let had rest from stife. And under her spreading palm, returned from the battle whither she had gone to lead the forces of ' the Lord. Deborah sat and sang a song of victory and thanlosgiving. This deathless hymn of ipanise has come down to us through the ages as one of the greatest songs of all literature. And its most triumph- ant and glorious note is a tlmillinig outburst of thanlasgiivlng for those over whom had hung the terrible peril of the morning and evening visits to the wells beyond the gate : Hm!-mu Hunt are delivered. sang By Mrs. D.

Such an old ta'le it is, shrouded in the mists of antiquiity, and yet how modern is this Deborah who judged Israel so many years ago.
