I of sanitary ordinances, may be ever ever so clean on their own premises, and yet have to endure the Hies and disease germs of their neighbors on either side. I believe most authorities set tle on the fly as our most deadly enemy and if we would but exer cise the commonest care, we could minimize this danger, and with constant vigilanpe and energy, could do away with it altogether. The dreaded "sum mer complaint" of babies is generally carried by flies, and yet so few mothers seem to take any precautions to keep them away from their babies. I am almost ashamed to say right i -To'that all milk bottles, nip iles-in fact, anything used about a baby's food should Ik ■scrupulously kept from flies for that would seem that lam crediting the mothers with a t- fa! lack of sens;.*. But I have seen in more than one child's sick room swarms of Mies, crawling from the child's soiled clothing to his milk. It is no wonder so many babies are sick and so many die when they are "teething." For many things are laid on teething which many times are only negligence or ignorance on the part of the mother. With all the precau tions we can take to keep from raising llies there will I>.' a few, and we can never tell from what putrid feast they tly. straight to the face of a sleeping child or to the dinner table. So the best thing to *1 i- u> Keep them oat with >c:vens. How people ewr get al vjg with out screens. I can't im.-ntu . but the .'did. and far . »o many peo ple do yet. i'erstinady. I doii i want any patent sere, as with folding or sliding devic—. They are expensive and luw never given me satisfaction, i want a good piece of wire se.vening n. iled oatside over toe entire window, so the s.i-h n be opened from top to bottom. Then it is there to stay, and nobody can leave a screen out accidentally, anil if properly put oi, there are no cracks for llies to get in. Then, I want good, tight fitting screen doors with strong spring to make them close quickly every time they are opened. It is true this entails some inconvenience when one is g >ing in or out with full hands, but it nothing to be compared with the trouble caused by flies arid mosquitoes. After screens are put in, unless done in cold weather, there will still be some flies in the house, and I have tried many things THE DANBURY REPORTER for getting rid uf these strag -1 glers. I find the sticky fly-paper very good, but where there are ! small children it is hard to keep them from getting it stuck on them, and if is always blowing about and getting on tables and floors. I have tried formalin, but tor me it would never work. It was like the old adagt of driving a horse to water and making him drink I could never get the flies to go near it after I got ir fixed up. I have recently read th.it 12'.) drops of carb >iie , acid sprinkled on a hot shovel would kill them, and this sum mer. 1 shall try that. A very good way to get rid of them is to go round the screens in the morning with a paper or h>.\;*y cloth and kill them. In the mornings, especially on ihe sunny side of the house, they ail cluster on the screens trying to get tut and it is easy to kill them. For the pestiferous mosquito. I have never found anything so good as oil of cit ronella. It is inexpensive, has a pleasant odor and a little of it goes a long way towards mak ing the "skeeter" keep his dis tance. Besides being a health pre server, screens are very nice in other ways, such as keeping out vagrant dogs and cats, and at the same time admitting plenty > ■ - : !

I •! have a screened back porch, and i as soon as I can I'm going to r have the front one screened in, I too. Ido like vines around the , porch, in summer, but I emphat , it-ally do not like the bugs and lizards and other creeping, 1 crawling things that infest a • vinewreathed porch. So I'm going to screen them out and ' then I can enjoy my book and ■ rocking chair in peace. I But kt me say again, at what ■ ever co.-t and to yourself, screen your house, and do it now. You > | can afford to make any sacrifice ■ rather than risk a summer with out screens. Kill Potato Bugs Bv .'"praying Praetkully every one knows and has been troubled with the Irish potato bug, and all will agree that very little good can be done by picking them from the plants. It is so easy to con trol them by spraying that there is r.o excuse for anyone to allow this insect to do much damage. This insect being a biting one may be easily killed by putting some kind of poison on the leaves of the potato. The two common poisons used are arsenate of load ami Paris green. Both are good . but the arsenate of lead is the best ;on account of the fact that it will not burn the fnilage as : easily :■ the Paris green will. Mix three pounds of arsenate of lead wit •: em h barrel of the Bur eaux ;o tlie sprayi;.e: will con trol 1 h the bliuli' and the bugs. 1 yi:i are not spraying for th« blight, ius: mix the arsenati el kad with on g. d'on* oi v.itti ! and fmir pounds of lim>. i i-e lime should lv slaked and made into a thin whitewash and strained, before heir.- ptured into the barrel of water. lfyoii wish to spray onh a few lev - of potaties f» r bugs, make the mixture as follows: : Dip out the arsenate of lead with iateaspon and with a knife or some other haid instrument scrape off the lead, leaving the spoon exactly level full of the I poison. Add two spoonfuls to each gallon of water and the milk ( | of lime produced from the slack ing of a lump of lime about half, the size of an egg. The arsenate I of lead should always be made into a milky solution before being added to the water in the i bucket or barrel. The best way i to do this is to put a small amount I of water in a vessel and rub the ! I lead between your hands until ; 'it is all thoroughly mixed with i i the water. It will not hurt your fcands, but you should be very careful not to get any ef it about your mouth. If you haven't a spray pump you can sprinkle the liquid on ! with an old broom. Of course, .you couldn't afford to do this with more than a few short rows. The Bordeaux mixture used for this spraying of the potatoes is the same kind of mixture that is used for spraying apples in ' mid-summer, and it will be well: ! for those who do not know how ! to make it without following directions to keep this article where it will be handy, as space will not be taken up again in the paper this summer to tell how it is made L.
