I have opened a new garage in the Norton building near
the depot, formerly occupied by the Ileo Garage, and am now
prepared to doctor your sick automobiles. The room has been
thoroughly cleaned and new equipment ha9 been installed,
making a large up-to-date workroom, and giving plenty of
storage space.
I have been with the Keo garage for some time, and my
work is known in and around Alliance. All work guaranteed,
and all I ask is a trial.
A special invitation is extended to my friends, and to those

PROTECT STOCK FROM FLIES
Department of Agriculture Recom
mends Mixture of Soap and Kero
seneUse Spray or Wash.
(By CHARLES I. BRAT. Colorado Ex.
periment Station.)
During the summer months, when
cattle are most likely to be bothered
with files, there are many people
who wish to know what can be done
as a preventive. There are a num
ber of methods sometimes recommend
ed for this purpose, some of which are
supposed to keep flies off the animal
by virtue of their bad odor or greasy
nature, and some which are supposed
to be sprayed on to kill the flies.
Considerable doubt exists as to the
benefits to be obtained from using
any of these treatments, or as to the
relative value of the different ways
of combating flies.
For spraying the backs of cattle at
milking time, there is possibly noth
ing more reliable than kerosene
emulsion. The following recipe
given by the United States department
of agriculture is one of the best ways
of making this: Dissolve one-half
pound of hard soap in one gallon of
hot water, and while still at near boil
ing point add two gallons kerosene,
and emulsify by use of a force pump
or agitator of some kind. Dilute with
water, one part emulsion to eight
parts water, and use as a spray, dip
or wash.

ANTS ON THEIR WEDDING DAY
Time of Turmoil and Tragedy for
Many of the Small Creatures
of the Earth.
A recent epidemic of ants In differ
ent parts of the country Is really due
to the fact that the ants were cele
brating their wedding day, remarks
the London Times. They were out on
their marriage flight and honeymoon.
Generally sj. Ing. there are three
kinds of ants in this country the
workers, the winged males, whose life
Is a short and merry one; and the
young queens, who live in charge of
the queen mother. In the summer,
-when the weather Is favorable, the
winged males and the young queens
leave the nest for the marriage
flight. The latter race away pursued
by the ardent wooers, who fall In
their thousands to enterprising swal
lows, missing their way and dropping
to reBt their tlrod wings on any ob
ject within reach. But the young
queen flies on. She is strong of wing,
for her husband must be the best of
the crowd. The crowd of pursuers
dwindle from myriads to thousands,
from thousands to hundreds, to dozens,
until at last only one is left.
That was the meaning of the plague
of ants. It was the marriage festival,
and the winged ants we saw in our
gardens were the unlucky crowd of
mourners left behind, trying to find
their way home. On her return to
her new-chosen nest, the queen spends
the afternoon chewing off her wings.
These are now useless, seeing that
she must no more leave the ant-hill.
Henceforward she spends her days
furiously laying eggs.
Measure of Laughter.
A meter for laughter is the latest In
vention of commercialized drama. The
device registers automatically and In
degree the amount of laughter Induced
by moving picture films. It Is some
Invention and Its uses should not be
monopolized by the movies. Its one
great function In life Is evidently to
check up the applause and laughter re
ports now found so copiously scattered
through the columns of the Congres
sional Record, much to the chagrin of
blushing veracity. The machine we
really need, however, is one which reg
isters the spirit of humor and not the
effect. It would save humanity many
weary moments if the inveterate story
teller could first trylils stuff out on a
machine instead of his long suffering
friends. It would not do, however, to
have this machine around when the
politicians are making their promises
to their constituency of congenital
suckers.
Armenian History.
The history of the later years of the
Armenian kingdom is bound up in the
history of Am. The stronghold city
became the capital of the Bagratid
kings of Armenia in 961. The Byzan
tium emperor captured it In 1046, and
It was then a hive of many scores of
thousands, a wealthy city and an invit
ing one. The Seljuk Turks carried
fire and sword throughout its confines
18 years later; the "warlike Georgians
took It five times between 1125 and
1209; the Mongols overran It In 1239
and an earthquaake In 1319 completed
the work of ruin. The great cathedral,
the most perfect survival, was round

city' long chain of misfortune.

SHIPPING SHEEP TO MARKET
Exercise Care That Animals WW Ap
pear to Best Advantage on Arrival
at Their Destination.
(By W. COFKKT.)
In shipping sheep or lambs to mar
ket care should be taken to handle
them so they will appear to best ad
vantage at the time of sale. The car
in which they are shipped should be
well bedded with dry straw or some
other material which Is Its equivalent
for keeping the animal clean. It Is
not necessary to give each sheep or
lamb In the car more space than
enough to stand comfortable, but over
crowding should be avoided. In hot
weather especially, overcrowding re
sults In losses. At this time losses
are likely to result from mixing lambs
In with older sheep, because the lambs
often suffocate from being crowded In
between animal larger than them
selves. At the time of shipment the fleeces
of sheep or lambs should be dry. It
tbey are wet It Is difficult to keep them
clean In appearance even though the
car be well bedded. If tbey are very
wet when tbey reach the market buy
ers do not like to bid on them, and If
they do they attempt to allow for the
moisture In the wool by offering less
for them than If they were dry.
If, at the time of shipment, some
of the sheep or lambs are foul behind

from dung being lodged in the wool,
It Is well to clip this soiled wool oft
before they aro loaded. This should
be done because the close crowding In
the car causes the sheep that are foul
to soil the sides of those that are
clean. There are also other reasons
for clipping awjty this soiled wool. It
detracts from the appearance of the
animals and from their value when
considerable In amount
FREE'jSHEEP FROM MAGGOTS
Wool Should Be Clipped to Skin and
Spot Treated With a Weak So
lution of Tar Dip.
Whenever a sheep has a filthy spot
on any part of Its body or when It
continually twists about and bites the
wool In a certain place it should be
examined for maggots. The wool
should be clipped to tl e skin If found
Infested and the spot treated with a
weak solution of coal tar dip.
If maggots have already lodged In
the muscles use a solution quite
strong. Pour the medicine over the
Infested part and work It Into the
holes made by the maggots. They
will soon come wriggling out. Tur
pentine, which is sometimes used for
this purpose, is harsh in its action
and Is not recommended on humane
grounds.
REASONADLE CARE FOR SHEEP
Most of Success With Flock Lies With
Increase Pastures Help Out
Feeding Problem.
To make the most of sheep one
j must give them reasonable care at
I least. Most of the profit lies in the
success with the Increase, and If they
are allowed to go through the summer
in poor, scrawny ccnditlcn, it will take
more feed to finish them In the fall,
and tbn ones that are kept for breed
ing stock will be unfit to start into the
winter. '
Our green pastures will help us out
greatly in feeding them, and in the
fall we will have our green corn and
perhaps sorghum to feed, but no mat
ter bow plentiful the feed, we should
not fall to supply them with plenty of
clean water.
Good Live Stock.
It make farming permanent.
It return highest price for farm

It furnishes market for waste feed.
It reduce bulk cf marketable crop.
It distribute labor throughout the

It make Income steady.
It helps to keep boy on tba farm,
It make farm life more pleasant.
Grinding Grain for Horse.
Many farmer do not car to grind
all the grain their team eat. neither
do tbey care to take the trouble to cut
up all their forage and then to sprin

but that practice will pay In the case
of aged animals whose teeth are past

There is one question to wbfek
every woman ought to be able to an

a living If you should need to do?"
If there Is one lesson more than sw
ot her that has been emphasized In r

other lesson that Is most sufficiently
understood Is that there Is practicab

as well as for a nation. Train yew
daughters, you mothers, to something
that will pay a return sufficient at
least for a livelihood. It can do d
harm, and It may mean just the dif
ference between happiness and misery
in later life.
There Is nothing more pathetic tba
the sight of some unfortunate womaav
brought up to a competency and V
terly unprepared to support herselC
who ha been suddenly reduced t
poverty. We all know some so)
woman. Pottering along at things
that are of no real use, at work given
by pitying friend or strangers, more
or less dazed by contact with a world
that Is foreign to her, sinking little
by little to meaner surroundings

strom she has neither the strength i

Surely you don't want to run

Forgiveness.
A Swedish count hus an autograph
album in which three statesmen hava
written a sentence of their respec

French minister, Gulzot, wrote:
"During my long life I have learned
two wise rules; the one is, to forgire
much, the other, to forget nothing."
Underneath these words the Frezveb
statesman Thiers wrote: "I hav
found that a little forgetting does not
detract from the sincerity of the for
giving."
On the same page there waa pac
enough for an autograph of the Ces
man chancellor, Bismarck, who said:
"During my life 1 have learnt the
