AN EXPENSIVE NUISANCE.

There is probably no other single fac
tor on the average farm that Is re-
sponsible for more expense. vexation
and annoyance than the weed pests
against which war has to be waged
unremittingly year after year. While
do one Is looking for an agricultural
millennium. when weeds will be no
more. there are certain means. often
overlooked or ignored. which enable
the farmer to greatly reduce and hold
the weed pest in check. One of these
is a careful system of crop rotation.
In which clover has II place. Added to
this there should be flock of sheep
to browse in the small grain and corn
fields as soon as the crops are harvest
ed. These two things-crop rotation
and sheep-will go long way toward
mitigating the weed nuisance and at
the same time will mean a more ra-
tional and profitable handling Of the
farm.

Eradicating the housefiy

Education of the people is re-
garded by entomogolog lists as the
surest way to eradicate the house
lily, the great pest OF the summer
months. The fly is regarded as one
OF the greatest carriers Of disease
germs, aud the best way of combat
ing the danger lies in educating
the great mass of people as to the
peril of having flies about the
house, and especially il the parts
of the house where food is pre-
pared or kept.
City health departments over the
entire country are beginning their
campa gns. Ordinances nave been
passed in the large cities Of the
east placing severe penalty on
owners of unsanitary places and
particularly stables, the greatest
breeding places for flies. The
campaign of educating the people
to sense of the unlimited oppor-
tunities possessed by the insect in
most importa IT.
L e. c are two ways of pre- tcct-
ing residents from the dangers of
the fly. The city health depart
ment can accomplish the most good
by keeping the streets and alleys
clean, and by enforcing the sani-
tary laws, especially ia the stables.
To make the campaign successful
IT is absolutely necessary that the
housewife cooperate with the
health authorities by protecting ali
food, by keeping the lilies out OF
the home and by killing all flies
that gain access to the rooms.
Among the things to be remcm-
bered by the people for protection
against the fly menace are: First,
screen the home aud keep all food
