VALUABLE Discovery on FLlEs.-Dr. Flan-
hardt of this city, has hit upon an ingenious
and simple method for destroying house flies,
which we are permitted TO give to our readers,
The preparation is quassia chips, or rather the
tea of quassia. The chips are first stepped in
warm water until the strength is extracted The
water is then strained off into shallow dishes,
over which is spread sheets of paper which are
permitted to touch the tea. The paper is then
sprinkled with sugar, which soon becomes sat-
urated with the fluid which soaks through the
paper. The sugar attracts the flies, and the
quassia (tignura quassia) kills them instantly
This preparation is infinitely preferable to
cobalt and othersimilar poisons, because there
is less danger in its use. Many use cobalt for
killing flies, but those who do so are reminded
that, if they have poultry of any kind, the dead
flies will certainly kill the poultry which may
pick them up. Whole barn yards have been de-
populated by poultry eating flies killed by CO.
balt-Placeruiae Observer.
