give heed to some very simple meas
ures, which we can put into effect in
our own homes everywhere. Sum-
ming it up in a word, the secret is in
keeping the premises clean and sweet
all the time. Just as long as there
is suitable material for the develop
ment and multiplication of flies, just
so long they will multiply by the mil
lions. But they must have organic
filth for their multiplication. A proof
of this is the presence of the fly
wherever there is filth.
The only permissible convenience
in towns ought to be the water
closet. And in country and town the
greatest heed must be paid to refuse
of any kind. Whether from kitchen
or stable, even though it be merely
the sweepings from the floor, the re-
fuse must be kept in receptacles,
tightly covered, and must be emptied
frequently, and the receptacles should
then be cleaned out and disinfected.
If we would follow that one sugges-
ton, it would go very far toward the
determination of the fly.
Secondly, stables, barns and out
houses should be built just as far as
possible away from dwelling-houses,
and should be kept clean, for your
own sake as we'll as for the sake of
your cattle, the milk of which you
use. The manure should be spread
on the land as fast as possible, or kept
in water-tight tanks with closed
covers. The manure heap is a very
prolific developing place for flies.
All offensive matter, garbage, and
kitchen and house refuse ought to be
kept in closed tanks or receptacles,
and taken away from the premises
at frequent intervals, daily if posi-

[ do not hesitate to say that single
fly is able to carry the infection of
disease, and lay some one on a bed

can keep flies out of our houses.

Food and Flies.
Right among us is an insect guilty
OF distributing score or more Of
diseases, all of them more or less
fatal. We have looked upon the fly
as sort of innocent nuisance, and
have not realized the great harm that
this pest is doing.
The fy's foot-and you will re-
member that the fly has several feet
ends in pad covered with innu-
merable hairs, and at the end of each
hair is little hollow sucker for the
purpose of drawing up matter. 1t
would not be far-fetched to compare
the foot to a toothbrush; and moist
matter has the very best possible
chance to stick to this hair-covered
pad. It has been demonstrated that
a single fly can carry one hundred
thousand living germs in one trip
from the manure heap or the privy
to the kitchen or the dining-table.
The filthiest pig finds it difficult to
compete with the fly in flthiness, and
is infinitely less dangerous as far as
health is concerned, because we do
not admit the pig into our larder;
but, unfortunately, we have been adj
hitting the fly, thinking it a harm
less creature.
Flies thrive in filth; they can not
exist without filth. When a fly seeks
an appropriate place for depositing
it's eggs, it looks for some kind of or
ganic filth so that it's eggs will after
ward hatch and produce other flies
Flies breed in refuse heaps of all
kinds, manure heaps, stables, slaugh-
ter-houses, butcher shops, pail
closets, priyies, bone works, ash pits,
garbage deposits, sewage pools, ETC.,
also in restaurant kitchens, private
kitchens which are not kept clean,
milk shops, dairies, and confection-
ers' shops, as we'll as numerous
other places.
They hasten the spelling of milk
and of all other foods. They carry
the germs from their breeding places
to the larder, where the food is kept,
and walking over the food, contami-
nate it.
Is it strange that flies carry dis

fever, diphtheria, scarlet fever, small
pox, measles, whOoping cough,
cholera, anthrax, tuberculosis, ays-
EMERY, CHAMBERS, erysipelas, opthal-

evidence to show that this terrible

of flies.

The original home of the horse Is
unknown, but in all times and among
all nations he has been a boon COM
panion to man. In the early ages when
civilization was confined to the warm
climates the horse was royal animal.
Horses were used by princes and war
riors In vast numbers. Job gives the
finest description Of the horse ever
written, part of which we quote:
Hast thou given the horse strength?
Hast thou clothed his neck with thun-
der? Canst thou make him afraid as
a grasshopper? The glory of his nos
trils Is terrible. He paweth in the
valley and rejoiceth In his strength.
He mocketh at fear. neither turneth
at fear, neither turneth he back from
the sword"
A study Of the nature and construc-
ton Of his body shows wisdom on the
part Of the Creator In designing that
the horse should be a most useful
servant to man.
The farm team should consist of me-
dium-sized animals we'll mated, active,
strong, intelligent, and well trained.
About 400 pounds Is handy weight
for general-purpose farm team. Any
less weight lacks strength and a great
er weight results in slow, awkward
movements. The team should have
a combination of bone and sinew and
muscle. developed in a high degree
and so nearly alike in each animal that
an equal distribution Of strength will

out damaging either. An unevenly
mated team in any of the features is
drawback
The physical construction of the
horse Is so similar to that of man that
the rules pertaining to the care of one
will apply to the other. The food Civ
en- the horse must be pure, for the
stomach Of the horse is very small

SONG OF AN OFF DAY.

And the skies are fair and blue.
Days may bring much Of sorrow,
Hearts may hold SO much Of rue.
After ALL it's not the weather,
But ourselves we ought to blame;
II we're brave, in storm and sunshine,
Smiles will ripple just the same.
Every bloom by breezes shattered
Shall yet have successors sweet,
Ways of WEAKNESS and weeping
Shall grow light to troubled feet;
Eyes cast down shall be uplifted,
Shadows haunt the soul no more.

And the best still lies before!
