THE COMMON HOUSE FLY.

When and Where 1t Breeds and How 1t
Passes Through the Winter.
The common house fly ( Afuscd do
faesttca9 is one of the most widely dis
tributed insects, and yet very little is
known of its life history. Prof. Pack
ard, in his great work, 'Guide to the
Study of Insects" says: mo one has
traced the transformations of this fly in
this country" He then proceeds to
copy few. lines from European work
in regard to the form of the larva, but
the information given in regard to its
early stages is meager and unsatis-i
factory. .Figuier, in his magnificent
illustrated work, 1.-The Insect World" y
after briefly describing the house fly
says: Every one knows how annoy
ing it is toward the end of summer,
and especially so in, the south of
France during the hot season." But
he gives no Information in regard to
it's habits, where it breeds or lives in
the larva or grub state. We have also
consulted number of chronological
works published in this country in re-
cent years without discovering any
additienalinfermatien in regard to the
life history of the house fly. 1t is sup
posed, however. that the females de-
post their eggs in all kind OF filth or
decaying vegetables and animal sub
stance, where they hatch, and the
grubs feed until they are transformed
into reddish-brown pupe, from which
the perfect flies issue during the warm
weather in summer and autumn.
Whether the eggs laid late in the
season pass the winter safely or after
becoming grubs remain half or wholly
dormant until spring is at present
unknown. But MS house flies are found
in their perfect state in houses and
other buildings during the winter, it
may be that the entire summer broods
are the progeny of those few indiyidu-
ais carried over from one season to the
next.-N. Y. Sun.

SURFACE DRAINAGE.
Useful Suggestions on a Subject Of Utmost
Importance.

Useful Suggestions on n Subject Of Utmost
Importance.
There is no doubt in the minds OF
observing. intelligent farmers regard
ing the advantage and value OF Under
draining over that Of surface drainage.
especially on Tow, wet land, where
understanding would be sufficient
readily to absorb the usual rainfall. i
But 1t is well known that underdrain-
ing, with either tile or stone, is an ex-
pensive operation, requiring an outlay
that the majority of farmers do not
care to incur. Hence there is but one
alternative. to make the best of the
surface plan.
On nearly level land composed Of
tenacious soil the best results are no
doubt obtained by level blowing,
either with reversible blowing or by
commencing in the center OF the field
and blowing round and round until
the fence or borders are reached. then,
after the narrowing and seeding is
completed, commencing at the lowest
point on the border and blowing a
deep furrow through the lowest por-
tions of the field. Itmay be necessary
also to run a lateral furrow into the
main furrow. After this Is done it is.
we'll to pass along the line with a light
roller or even stone-boat, thus greatly
facilitating the gathering Of the crops
1t isY always best to go over the line
with ahoe or shovel, and remove any
clods from the channel. sssy,osg
Many farmers : practice surface
drainage by blowing in small lands,
say from fifteen to twenty-five feet
wide. This plan answers quite well
for quickly removing the water, espe-
cially If the natural course of the
water is identical with the direction OF
the dead burrows. There are farmers
who, in addition to small lands, adopt
the cross furrow plan after seeding
But this makes the gathering Of sue
ceeding crops jolting task.
In surface draining side hills, unless
they are very steep, furrows drawn
diagonally across the face OF the hill
will be found more advantageous then
those up and down the declivity. In
either case the washing after heavy
showers is injurious, bnt less Of the
surface soil is washed to the foot OF
the hills by the diagonal pillow.
\. In many situations permanent open
ditch is a necessity, and should be
made wide at the top with gradually
sloping sides, and If possible it should
be wholly sedded over. Some farmers
imagine a wide open ditch is loss Of
that amount OF land. but such is not
the case, especially where stock is
kept, for when the field is cultivated.
the portion Occupied by the open
waterway produces an abundance OF
hay, and also luxuriant pasturage.
Permanent open bitches made through
low, Doggy, and frequently overfiowed
land, have frequently quadrupled the
value Of the land, at q very small out
lay in time only.
In word, my advice is: Underdrain
II possible; If not, have plenty OF open
or surface drainage IN. X. Examiner.
