The plan was adopted by the rea OF

parts the practice is to- cut short words

natural that in the course of time the

that the stable is itself the most COM
mon breeding place for flies. in the
eNcrement from animals in which the
flies deposit their eggs. Unless care
is taben to gather up and remove the
droppings before there is time for
eggs to hatch. the window screens
will serve rather to shut the flies in
than to keep them out Stables should
never be built near houses, because il
they are nothing can keep houses

possible that where these conditions
prevail, flies, though annoying, arc
really beneficial. Flies doubtless de-
stroy much filth, and thus lessen the
