McWha half opened his eyes, and their faint glance fell the top of Rosy Lillys head as it bent over his hand With wry smile he shut them again. But to his surprise he felt rather graied At last he opened his eyes wide, felt his bandaged head and called for drink of water. To his surprise he was answered by Rosy-Lilly, so promptly that it seemed if she had been listening for his voice. She carrying the tin of water in both little hands and lifting very carefully she tried to hold it to his lips.

Flies are large breeders, lay their eggs
by preference in horse manure, but al
SO in decaying meat, meat broth, cut
melons, dead animals, and even in
cuspidors. On these substances their
larvae subsist until they hatch. From
ten days to two weeks after the time
the eggs have been laid, the fly is fully
hatched. 1t is estimated that one fly,
laying 120 eggs at time, will have a
progeny amounting up to the sextil.
lions at the end of the season.
If the housefy were creature diff
cult to destroy, the general failure on
the part of communities to mAke any
efforts whatever TO reduce its numbers
could properly be termed criminal
neglect; but since it is comparative
ly easy matter to do away with the
plague of f1es, this neglect becomes an
evidence of ignorance or carelessness
in regard to disease producing filth
which to the informed mind consti-
tutes serious blot on civilized me-
thods of life.
1t is important that flies should, be
kept away from all food supplies. TO
this end every effort should be made
first to do away with all conditions
that are favorable for breeding them.
Screens are best for the purpose of
protecting food. Where it is not prac-
tical to use screens, chloride of lime, if
used in liberal quantities and well
sprinkled through the manure will
prevent the development of any eggs
which may have been deposited.
Screens or common netting should be
put upon the kitchen and dining room
windows, andsa sheet or two of sticky
fly paper, which can be bought any
where, should be placed in all rooms
where food is prepared, exposed or
eaten. Fly traps, of which there are
several varieties on the market, are al
so of great use in destroying those flies
which sometimes in spite of nettiDgs
find their way into rooms where the
screen doors are frequently being
opened.
The News hopes that every person
in Greenville will look about his or
her house or premises and see if there
is not something that should or could
be done to aid in the great warfare
which is now being waged on the
house-fy.

who is Who and Why"
HENRY WILSON,


He's mo preacher or scholar
To rail or TO write;
No statesman or soldier,
To plot or to fight.
No sly man OF business,
.Contriving q snare;
Nor is the "big bellied bottle
The whole OF his care"
He is Just plain farmer-wbo farms: not
on paper, or on street corners; but farms In
the soil. with bis own hands He does not
farm from necessity; but because be loves the
business. he loves the SOIL the water, the
air, the sunshine and rain. he loves the
crops, plants, vegetables, fruits and flowers.
He has studied their needs. and knows how
TO apply the necessary work and plant food
TO bring the best results.
The following epitome of the various crops
be has produced on one acre Of land. each, in
one year will prove:
he has made eighty bushels OF shelled corn
on one acre In one year.
Has made thirty bushels wheat on one acre
In one year; and cut one ton pea hay from
the same acre the same year.
Has made twenty-five bushels barley on
one acre and cut one ton pea hay same year
Has made seventy bushels oats and cut one
ton bay the same year on one acre.
on one acre In one year.
Has made 200 gallons ribbon cane syrup Gas
good as the best New Orleans syrup on one
acre in one year.
He has not made truck and garden and fruit
culture speciality, but has been very success
ful.i In growing II.
Has made at the rate OF 200 bushels sweet
potatoes per acre; 200 bushels Irish potatoes:
weighing four pounds each.
He grows all the fruits and vegetables
usually grown in this country In the greatest
abundance and perfection.
He has not made live stock a speciality, but
has grown some very valuable horses and
mules and cattle.
Has bad beeyes 10 weigh 1000 pounds at
three years old, and cows that made one
pound best butter per day.
He has made hog raising specially; al
ways raising enough for bis own family, and
TO spare. He raised the largest hog ever
raised In the county. The hog weighed 700
loo pounds, and the hams weighed 60 pounds
each, after being cured; and were SOUND 10

He and Mrs. Wilson have been very sue
and eggs at all times. They sold $4,000 worth
last year Cl90S).
This is some Of the things he has accom-
plished on the farm. l will not undertake to
elaborate his plans or methods, some OF
which are original with him. He adhereB TO
four fundamental principles:
l. Thorough preparation OF soil.
2. Proper and ample fertilization.
3. Adaptation OF crop to soil.
4. Thorough cultivation.
THE LESSON OF IT.
He has practically demonstrated:

the seasons that will produce, under proper
culture, greater variety Gf valuable field
crops, veget ables and fruits than any country
2. He has mastered the art ana science OF
farming In all its details.
He has not amassed great wealth. as 1t Is
counted these times. He has an abundance OF
all that is necessary for com Portable living.
He has what great wealth often fails to give
