tul-e of castor oil and resin. For gen
eral use the SOap-suds are to be rec
commended. When using the liquids
fill the traps twO-thirds full.
Kerosene is the most fatal to the
flies but should be used With care as
it is very liable to soil the sash. II
using it fill the trap half full of water
and then add enough kerosene to form
a film.
Kerosene emulsion is made as fol
lows: Two quarts of kerosene, two
pints OF water, One-fourth pound OF
soap. Dissolve the soap in boiling
water; while the suds are still boiling
hot, add the kerosene, and churn the
mixture for few minutes till it ne-
comes a butterlike mass. Dilute the
emulsion from five to six times with
water before filling the traps.
SOap-Suds.-Make strong suds from
THE ordinary common washing soap.
This is very easy to prepare and cry
effective
PyrethrJlm is an insect powder,
which can be purchased from drug
g'lsts. Do not buy that which is stale
or adulte1ated When fresh and pure,
it is very effective when mixed with
two times it's bulk of flour. The mix
'trl'e should be kept in AN air. tight can
twenty-four hours before using. Take
enough to form "a good layer in the
bottom of the trap. 1t acts very rap
idly upon flies.
MOlasses.-EnOugh cheap mOlasses
or sorghum should be used to form a
thick layer i'm the bottom of the trap.
Castor oil and resin.-Take three
parts of powdered resin to two parts
of castor oil. Mix them together, and
boil till the resin dissolves. II too
thick, add more castor oil.
There should be one trap for every
pane of glass of at least one window
in the house. For instance, when the
sash contains two paneS of glass,
there should be two traps, one at the
base of each pants. When the sash CON
tains four panes, there should be four
traps, two ON the bottom rail, and two
Oh the cross bars or hunting. 1t is
not necessary to apply traps to all the
windows. Attach traps to one or two
windows in the sunny part of the
house, and pull down the blinds Of the
remaining windows. The flies will
seek the lighted rooms and especially
the windows
When the traps are full of flies, re-
move them from their fastenings,
empty out their contents and fill them
with fresh material.
A temporary trap can be made of
flexible card board, following the
same directions as for those made OF
tin. Use glue or pins to fasten the
ends. To render the trap waterproof
paint the inside with melted paraffin
This will hold any of the above rem
edies except the pure kerosene.
