BOW TO SUPPRESS HBfJSEFLIES.
Cheap and Effective fay
Hie Premises Clear of

tc Keep
THIS
That the housefly nuisance in
any community can be largely
suppressed by united effort on
the part of those who are inter
ested can not be denied by any
one who understands the situa
tion. The fly is not only disagreeable
but is a menace to health. Ty
phoid fever and cholera infan
tum, and probably other intesti
nal diseases are often carried to
victims by flies.
Steps should be taken in every
community to commence a vigor
ous fight against this pest and it
seems advisable to Jet every one
become well informed about the
breeding places of flies, and the
methods of preventing them
Poisoning and trapping the flies
is also of great importance.
Lif t, HISTORY AND BREEDING
.''LACES OF HOUSEFLIES.
Flies originate largely from the
hors;, cow and mule stables. Cow
manure will breed flies in great
numbers, in spite of many re
ports to tne contrary, in and
around such places the flies lay
their eggs. Fully ninety-five per
cent of all the flies develop in the
stable manure. Garbage piles.
heaps of decaying vegetable mat
ter, and any accumulation of filth
may breed flies.
The eggs hatch in less than
twenty-four hoars into small.
white, wriggling maggots.
The maggot stage of the flies
lasts only five days in warm
weather. Full grown maggots
are about one-third inch long.
with body , pointed at. the head
end.
The full grown maggot changes
to a reddish-brown pupa stage,
about one-fifth inch long, which
lives about five days, and then
transforms to the adult winged
flv.
A generation of houseflies, from
egg to adult stage, may develop
in ten or eleven days. This shows
that if the stable manure is
hauled out once a week, flies will
not have time to mature.
Fully fifteen generations of
houseflies mature during the sum
mer.
Each female fly will lay about
one hundred and twenty eggs,
and this fact serves to account
for the great numbers of flies
wnere tne breeding places are
not done away with in a com
munity.
Flies do not usually travel over
a few hundred yards from their
breeding places, so that it is en
tirely, practicable, by united ef
fort on the part of those who are
interested, to do away with most
of the houseflies in any commun
ity.
POISONING FLIES WITH FORMALIN
There are several more or less
successful fly poisons, such as
Seibert's Poison Fly Paper, but
the writer has had best success
with Formalin. This costs only
fifty cents a pint, and is used by
placing one tablespoonful in a
half pint cup of one-half each of
milk and water. This should be
exposed in plates, and it is well
to put a piece of bread in the
middle of the mixture to furnish
more surface on which the flies
can light and feed. V
This formalin solution seems
to attract the flies and kills them
quickly. The writer recently
poisoned over forty thousand
(about 4 quarts of flies) in less
than twenty-four hours in a calf
barn where the flies were very
numerous. In this manner thou
sands of flies are killed before
they have deposited eggs.
When attempting to poison
flies around dwelling houses it is
best to expose the formalin pois
on mixture outside as well aB in
side the houses. Use it on the
front and back porches where the
flies are waiting to enter when
ever the doors are opened.
We can never succeed in per
manently lessening the flv nui
Bance by simply paisoning or
trapping the flies, but when we
attempt to prevent the breeding
places, the work of poisoning the
adult flies wlil be of great assis
tance. '
Every citizen who is interested
in the health and welfare of his
family should determine where
the flies are breeding and should
not be suspicious of his neigh
bor's premises until he has made
a careful search for the breeding
places of flies on his own place.

A Tramp's Testimony.
Exchange.
A tramp asked for a drink in a
saloon. The request was grant
ed, and when in the act of drink
ing the proffered beverage, one
of' the young men present ex
claimed: "Stop! Make us a speech. It
is poor liquor that doesn't, loosen
a man's tongue."
Ihe tramp swallowed down the
drink, and as the liquor coursed
through bis blood, straightened
himself and stood before them
with a grace and dignity that
all his rags and dirt could not ob
scure.
"Gentlemen," he said, "1 look
tonight at you and myself, and
it seems to me that 1 look upon
the picture of my blighted man
hood.
This bloated lace was once as
handsome as yours! this shamb
ling figure once walked as proud
ly as yours, for I was a man in
the world of men.
I, too once had a home and
friends and position. I had a
wife as beautiful as an artist's
dream. But I dropped the price
less pearl of her honor and re
spect into a cup of wine, and.
like Cleopatra, saw it, dissolve,
then quaffed it down in the brim
ming draugnc, i nau cnuaren
sweet and pure as the flowers of
spring, and saw them fade and
die under the blighting curse of
a drunken father, I had a home
where love lit its flame upon the
altar and mininstered before it,
but I put out the holy fire, and
darkness and desolation reigned
in its stead. I had aspirations
that soared high as the morning
star, but I broke and bruised
those beautiful forms and strang
led them, that I might hear their
cries no more. Today i am a
husband without a wife, a father
without a child, a tramp without
a home, and a man in whom eve
ry good impulse is dead. All
have been swallowed up in the
maelstrom 6f drink. " The tramp
ceased speaking. The glass fell
from his nervous fingers, and
shattered into a thousand frag
ments on the floor. The doors
were pushed open and shut
again, and when the group look
ed ap the tramp was gone.
And this, gentle reader, is a
true tale, the tramp at one time
having been a ' prominent attor
ney. -v ;.- -:
Do not be boastful over the
man who appears to be beneath
you today. He may be above you
tomorrow. Changes come often
in life.
