that have been issued against

kind has to contend, being re-
sponsible for a large portion of
all cases of typhoid fever and
diarrhoeal diseases of infants and
many cases of tuberculosis and
other contagious diseases.
They have caused thousands of
deaths in Kentucky and will con-
tinue their work of destruction
until housekeepers awaken to the
fact and inaugurate a warfare
that will result in their extermi-
nation.
This can be accomplished def
nitely and effectively. 1t re-
quires only the removal Of filth.
Flies breed in filth and in filth
alone. Without filth there can
be no flies. More than 90 per
cent. of them breed in stable
manure and the balance in gar
bage, outhouses and other forms
of refuse;
The fly season is at hand, and
prompt action at this time may
prevent many deaths during the
summer andefall and grave re-
sponsibility rests upon all health
officers and other citizens.
An immediate and thorough
cleaning of premises should be
effected and further accumula-
tons of filth avoided. Stable,
manure should be kept in vaults
or boxes screened or covered or
frequently sprinkled with lime or
kerosene and should be removed
at least once week.
Garbage receptacles~ SHOULD

lime or oil.
Privy vaults should be made

quently sprinkled with lime.
In addition to the measures for
the presentation of the breeding
of fies every effort should be
made to prevent them from en-
tering the house or having access
to milk or other foods.
ALI doors and windows espec-
tally those of the kitchen and
dining-room should be screened.
Food exposed for sale should
be screened and ordinances to
this effect be enacted and en-
forced.
Flies should be especially kept
away from the sick and if one is
discovered in the sick room it
should be killed. Excreta and
urine from the sick should be
covered with fresh lime for an
hour and then buried.
People who have cleaned their
own premises should demand that
their neighbors should do like
wise and notify the Board of
Health of any failures or re-
fusals. 1t is important to re-
member that no house is safe I'M
less every other one for a mile
around is clean. This applies
especially to tenants houses and
negro quarters.

The cost of growing a peach
orchard up to the full bearing age
varies in this country from $1OO
to $3.50 an acre. A man with
small means may undertake to
grow peach orchard in his own
way. If he can do most of the
work the actual cash outlay is
much reduced. He should Of
course provide irrigation, build
ings, fences, horses and suitable
implements. Vegetables a n d
small fruits may be grown be-
tween the rows of trees the first
three years, and in an establish
ed fruit district there is always a
great amount of outside work to
be had at good wages. Peach
trees begin to bear when three
years old and they produce large
crops at the age of six years. We
know one instance in which four
and one-half acres of Elberta
peaches brought a gross return
of $3.50 an acre the third season
after planting, but this was a
rather unusual occurrence. When
in full hearing, gross returns of
from $1,000 to $1,000 an acre
have been common. An average
net income from the orchards of
the best fruit districts will run
from $500 to $500 an acre and yet

in his head and thus could not
be contented at home. He was
restless, uneasy, until one day
he happened to read Of 1.-The

searched his Geography, but
could not find it. He was puzzled.
This divinely endowed city could
not be found. He studied, he
thought, unused. Gould it be
possible, he thought, that the
old prophecy is being fulfilled,
and that this is TIE place where
the lamb and the bear shall lie
down together, and the lion shall
eat straw like an ox?'
But at last one day in looking
over a list of sobriquets he found
that "The City of Brotherly
Love" was only popular name
for the city Of Philadelphia. He
read of how William Penn had
purchased the whole State Of
Pennsylvania for sixteen thous-
and pounds; of how bank of
Quakers had settled the State; of
PENIS treaty with the Indians
in which they declared 1--WE will
live in peace with Penn and his
followers so long as the sun and
moon shall shine;;" of how the
city of Philadelphia was laid off
with broad streets and with
beautiful flower gardens around
each and every house, and of the
marvellous growth of the city
