The common house fly is a carrier
of disease Typhoid fever, diarrhoea,
dysentery and tuberculosis are car
ried by flies.
Flies feed on food and also on
the worst kind of filth. They 80
! from one to the other.
| The house fly IS particularly filthy,
because it has its birthplace and
LAYS its eggs almost exclusively in
horse manure.
Our domestic animals, the dog and
cat, though far from clean in all
their habits, we like to have about
us, but we keep them in their proper
place. The house fly, on the other
hand, is tolerated everywhere, Crawls
over our hands and faces, gets into
our milk, walks over all our food,
often soiling and communicating
everything that comes in Ccontac,
with its filthy feet and tongue.
1t is essential that flies be kept
away from everything that infants
and young children come in contact
with, particularly all feeding uten-
sils and things that children are
likely to put in their mouths.
The essential thing is to do away
with the breeding places Of these
dirty pests.
Screen all food and keep flies
away from 1t.
Keep stable Misunderstanding place
for flies-in vault or pit or
screened inclosure and sprinkle It's
surface with chloride Of lime.
Quickly cover up food after q
meal and bury or burn table refuse
Keep damp cloths near Iheat dishes
milk jugs and other food receptaCles
Burn pyrethum powder in the
house. 1t will kill most of the flies
and those it does not will fall stun
ned, when they may be swept uI
and burned. Sticky fly-papers are
good traps, provided they are burned
every day.
Remember that the exposure Of any
kind of refuse near a dwelling fur.
nishes a breeding place for flies, ant
IL food is exposed the flies will de-
l,osit germs upon 1t.
Observe these directions and sc
promote the health of your family
and of ynnr. .naiRhborhood.

Make War on The Fly.

Home and Farm has had much TO
say about health on the farm. 1t
will have more.
Health, sound and unshaken, is
essential to continued labor, ind
continued labor is essential to sue
cess in life.
Get well and keep well, If you
would make farming pay.
The farmers family ought to be
well. City physicians tell their pa
tients to live in the open air, TO
take outdoor exercise, to work in
the ground, and 1t is all good ad-
vice
The farmer so lives and labors,
but health often fails him. His wa
ter is poisoned or the atmosphere is
laden with disease germs, or the fly
and the mosquito spread typhoid and
malaria.
Protect your water supply. Screen
your house against the fly and the
mosquito. Keep all food supplies pro
teCted against the house fly.
To emphasize all We have said here

Association Of New York describing
the activities of the common house

BROWN ON THE BENCH NJ
FOR THREE DAY NOW

Manager Brown will be on the
bench when the Indians open this
afternoon with Vancouver. He will
stay on the bench for three days.
Also he will be $25 shy in his pay
envelope. A telegram from Lucas
this morning brought Brown the
pleasant information to this effect.
Three days and $25 for fighting
at Aberdeen with Rowdy O'Brfen,
and cut lip, handed him by some
sore fan when the crowd was hold
ing O'Brien and Brown apart. At
the opening of the Aberdeen series
they handed Brown floral horse
shoe. The last day they handed
him something else. Fine town
down there on the mudflats.
The suspension is a good thing
for Brown, as O'Brien nearly broke
his arm with the ball. He heaved
it at Brown when the latter was q
few feet away walking to the
bench. Then Brown went back
and they tangled up. Just before
that O'Brien had tried to foul Con
nors. In a game over here he
threw his glove at Ostdiek. In
comparison to Browns punishment
O'Brien ought to be chased to the
bushes for life.
From the fact that Frary has
been sent over here to umpire this
week, it looks like something had
happened to Mr.. Flynn. Lucas re
versed him on giving the last game
to Aberdeen and the league would
lose nothing if Lucas lost him al
the same time.
Killilay will pitch for the Indians
this afternoon, and Weed will play
short.

will make the fans sorry all over

sequence of the life he has led
since beating Burns, he was soft
fer the lightning Quaker, at six
rounds.
O'Brien is game. You've got to
give it to him. He knew the heft
of Ketchell's wallop, but was will
ing to play his speed against his
opponents's punch. In their first
encounter he was SO fast for six
rounds that he made a mail train
look like steam roller. Ketchell
did not get him until the seventh,
which was the beginning of the
end.
But in Philadelphia, O'Brien's
cleverness and speed couldn't save
him. In the first he had savage
right hook hung upon his lunch
basket, which was the object Of
Ketchell's attack, and then 1t was
one, two, to the jaw. and Ketchell
was counting the money.
2 Youth will be. served and the old
saying that a master boxer must
succumb to the master fighter has
been verified. While | don't think
the showing of Ketchell and john
son against O'Brien counts for any
thing when comparing the respec-
tive ability of the two, l do think
that when they meet next fall
Ketchell will come home on the
bit. Johnson is a good man, but
his science won't stop Ketchell,
and the latter has shown that he
does not care any more for a
punch than Coal Oil Johnny did for
his bank roll while on his big
spend. Let Ketchell push that
right into Johnson's bacon basket
and he will sport the heavyweight
crown.

are so many failures made in pre-
pairing turkeys for market, when it is
taken into consideration the course
so many breeders take in fattening
their birds. 1t is mistake to pen
up flock of turkeys for the purpose
of fattening them. Turkeys are of a
wild nature, and as soon as they are
cooped begin chasing one another
about and constantly worrying for
freedom. They soon tire of their food,
grow thin. and will when killing time

cooped with the expectation of fat

Care in Selecting Alfalfa Seed.

most important factor in securing

alfalfa seed are bur clover, yellow tre-
foil and sweet clover. Crab grass. rib
grass and green and yellow foxtail
are also found. But the worst weed
seed found in alfalfa seed is fodder.
Alfalfa seed resemble those of red
