Trade in Flies.

A ton of dead flies was the strange cargo a
vessel from Brazil unloaded at the London
docks. Dead flies are admirable food for
chickens, birds in captivity and captive fishes
But. there being no flies To speak of in
England, these in search Of this delicacy for
their animals have to send 10 Brazil, where
there are flies on everything.
The river Amazon abounds with flies Bra:
zilians float down the stream in bosts and
scoop in millions Of the flies, which circle in
dense clouds just above the waters edge. The
dies are killed, dried thoroughly in the sun
and packed in bags. They are then shipped
Dead flies constitute one Of the richest Of
foods for animals. For chickens the flies are
mixed with other ingredients. such as millet
and corn. By themselves the flies are too
rich, bat their power Of nOutiShment is so
great that a small quantity OF them has
most beneficial effect.
Two years ago the Brazilian government
stopped the expectation. being afraid that
the fsh in the rivers would suffer BY being
deprived of this by food, but the prohibition
has been removed.
