Horse Stables are Fly Hatcheries

We commend the following article
to the owners of stables and to the
mayor and members of the CITY
council.
1t is taken from the Saturday Even
ing Post:
Fly-killing is discouraging bust
ness, for there always seems to be an
unlimited supply of the enemy. But
poison and ''tanglefoot'' paper would
be made unnecessary if only people
would adopt the simple measures
necessary to prevent the breeding of
the pests We are bothered by flies
because We choose to be thus annoy
ed; If we liked, we could get rid Of
them altogether
Already many stable owners are
doing much to abate the nuisance.
They have learned that a small GUAM
tIty of Kerosene used two or three
times week will enoirely prevent
the propagation of flies, thus making
a great difference in the comfort of
the people who dwell in houses near
by. An expendituressof few cents a
month will accomplish the purpose.
Every stable, where proper pre-
cautions are not taken is d fly hatch
cry. Practica ly, all the flies are bred

The Show Of Pets.

The Show Of Pets.
We had very delightful visit yes
terday afternoon from Miss Emily
latham, president of the Band of
Mercy and the originator of the Show
of Pets, which promises to be such a
great attraction for the children.
Miss latham says the children are
very enthusiastic and are taking
great interest in the affair.
The show will take place in the
Gary grove next Saturday afternoon.
Every boy and girl in town will be
there with every imaginable kind of
pet.
The program is quite an attractive
one, and is not intended solely for
the little ones.
Adults are also invited to be pres
ent.
The program is as follows:
Animals, poultry, birds in cages,
to be on the ground at O'Clock
Horses, ponies and cows will come
in at the top entrance and pass to
the rear to be judged.
Dogs and cats, poultry, birds in
! cages, ETC., will be suitably placed,
; and it is requested that all cages and
| coops have the owners name APP
pended.
! At2 o'clock the public will be ad-
mitted, and after a short preliminary
exercise the larger animals will be
formed in procession and pass in sim
gle file before the presidents chair,
and then once more go to the rear.
where their prize tickets. etc., can be
examined at leisure.
At O'Clock the new members OF
the Band of Mercy will receive their
silver badges from the president
Then Miss E. Weathers will present
| the prizes to the various owners who
have won in the competition.
There will be Gypsy camp, for
| tune telling, and some musical va,
rieties, all pretty and amusing, and
! we believe no one will go away in the
! least disappointed.
| a voluntary guard of honor of the
Ocala Rifles will be in attendance in
case of any unforeseen disturbance.

The special articles from the pen
of Charlie Jones, of the Jacksonville
Metropolis, which now embelish the
Saturday edition of that excellent
paper, constitute some of the very
best stuff ever printed in a Florida
newspaper. Mr.. Jones' write-up of
the board of trade luncheon to Presi-
dent Roosevelt was exceptionally
clever and stamps him as an artist i'm
more things than one. The article
was illustrated by the Metropolis
cartoOnist, T.. F. Mack, and the llluS-
trations added greatly to its interest.

The President waSfamuSeo.

Steve Melton, noted as a talker,
had been entertaining a lot of visitors
in the northwest corner, and when he
went to shake hands with the presi-
dent he found Joe STRIPPING telling
the president all about hunting in
Florida. STRIPPING talked of big game
and then began to discuss birds. The
tall district attorney knew all about
birds. and as he enumerated them
Dan Gerow, who was standing close
by, as big republican officeholder
should, whispered to Joe that he was
proving bore, as the only bird that
Roosevelt cared for was the "dove of
peace"
You are away off," exclaimed
Melton. 1.-The presidents favorite
bird is 'stork,' and I'll prove it bv
him.
The president was greatly amused
at this joke ana laughed heartily at
Melton's wit, and said if there were
more stOrkS there would be no oc-
caslon for warning regardin. race

nuisance should be permitted. Here
is an insect that causes more discom-
fort to human beings than all others
put together, and which. in addition
is known to be a carrier of typhoid
fever and other diseases. Yet though
easy of prevention, its propagation is
freely allowed.
Mosquitoes, when they infest large
areas, are hard to deal with; not so
the flies. The latter, in all probable
ity' never go far from the stables in
which they are bred. From little
footless maggots, they are transform
ed in a few days to the winged shape,
and the first thing they want is wa
ter. There is nothing SO thirsty as a
fly; it wants to drink ali the time. A
saucer of poisoned water placed in a
stable will destroy nearly every fly
i'll that place
But the kerosene method is easiest
and most effective. A sprinkling two
or three times a week will do the
business, killing every larva or pupa
with certainty. Some day the adOp-
ton of such measures in every stable,
particularly in the cities, will be re-
guired and rigidly enforced. Then
we shall be rid of the plague for
good; epidemics o. diseases will be
less frequent; the screening of houses
will be unnecessary, and a specimen
of Musca domestjca will be so rare as
to be regarded as curiosity.
