HOUSE FLY A MENACE
Valuable and Timely Paper
Prepared by Prof: Ainslie,
Clemson College Exten-
sion Work.

Seldom is second thought Civ
en- the common house fly. 1t has
always been considered a nuisance
but recent studies have shown it tc
be very much more than a mere
nuisance The germs of intestinal
and filth diseases are readily car.
ried in large numbers from the ex'
creta of patients suffering from ty'
phoid, dysentary and cholera direct
to food intended for human con.
sumption and even to the fingers
and face and lips of a babe or sleep
ing person.
Flies breed in filth and offal OF
any kind, preferring above all else
the fresh droppings of horses and
mules. Large numbers will develop
in human excrement and in garbage
barrels, at places where dish water
is thrown out and wherever decay

ours.
The adult flies are constantly
passing back and forth from such
materials, where they deposit their
eggs, TO other materials upon which
they themselves feed. They prefer
sweets, but are attracted by almost
any kind of human food.
Flies do not ordinarily travel to
any great distance and if a little
care is taken their numbers may be
greatly reduced. Especially does
the farmer have the chance of abat-
ing the pest so far as his own prem
ises are concerned.
The eggs laid by flies hatch in
about a day into the familiar white
maggots. After about five days
spent feeding, if. the food supply is
unlimited, and couple of days in a
resting stage, the adult flies aprear:
II takes them slightly more than a
week from fly to fly. If manure
can be disposed of, hauled to either
the field or a compost heap some
distance from tie house every five
to seven days, no flies will be able
to develop. If it is not possible to
dispose of the manure, it may be
possible to provide q room, dark
and thoroughly screened, into which
the manure may be put until it can
be disposed of:
Of all 1.-THE substances used to kill
or repel flies the one which has
proven most satisfactory is ordinary
air slaked lime. Lime is a first
class deodorant. A free use of it
around all stables, privies and garb-
age cans will cause these places to
lose half of their disagreeable> tea-
lures, and they will cease to be at
fractions and breeding places for
that menace to health-the common
house fly.

Use Heavy Implements.

If you have intelligence enough
to manage two horses profitably,
then you tie up half your power,
you throw away half your intelli-
gence, you kill half your profits,
when you use only one horse.
When you can use two hands
proitably, what would you think of
tying one hand by your side and
using only one? And yet: the
economic effect is almost the same,
if you can use two horses proftably
and are content to use only one

Ii Pays TO Fertilize the Legumes.

1t Pays to Fertilize the Legumes.
While peas and other legumes
will get nitrogen for us from the
air, and will furnish the materials
for increasing the humus in the
soil, they draw heavily on the min
eral matters in the soil, phosphorus
and potassium, and hence must be
supplied with these if they are to do
their part in the improvement of
soil.
Years ago man in Alabama
wrote to me that what / had been
writing about peas improving the
land was all humbug, for he had
taken twelve crops in succession off
a piece of land, and the soil got so
poor that it would not grow peas.
There is no crop grown that can
be taken annually off the land and
nothing returned without impover-
ishing the soil, and the legume crops
are no exception. They consume
phosphoric acid and potash largely;
and these they cannot get from the
air, and if they are not supplied in
fertilizers, the pea, or any other le-
gume, will exhaust the supply of
these in the soil.
But where phosphoric acid, and
in most sections, some potash, are
applied in liberal manner, the le-
gumes will enable us to dispense
with the purchase of nitrogen, or
ammonia, in any form.-W. F.
Massey, in Raleigh IN. c. Progress

WATER FLOWING
over THE HILL

Wonder now has plenty of water
for milling and domestic purposes.
The Bench creek pipe. which was
rushed in when the camp was new,
has always furnished an ample sup
ply for the town of good, pure
spring water, with plenty more to
run mill or two The Nevada
Wonder company and the water
company failed to agree on price
for a supply to run the mill, so the
mining company purchased the var
ious rights at Horse creek, and has
just completed laying a line of pipe
about nine miles long, from a point
near the head of Horse creek to a
tank near the top of Wonder noun
tain, a considerable height above
the millsite.
The pipe at the intake is large,
and as it extends down the canyon
| is reduced to four inches in diam
eter. The great pressure, estimated
at from 500 to 500 pounds to the
square inch, made necessary the use
of heavy steel pipe of the best quail
ity.
A considerable gang of men has
been working for several months
digging the long trench and laying
the pipe, and Thursday all but {
few retained to gather up odds an(
ends, were laid off and paid off
The water was turned on and al
lowed to flow through the pipe TO
a few hours and everything fount
to be in good shape, when it wa
shut off at the point of discharge.
The completion of this job as
sures Wonder a more than ampl
water supply, from two differen
sources, for many years to come.
Quite a number of the workmel
who were employed on the pipe lin
have found work on other jobs, an,
Others have taken up their beds an,
walked across the desert in searcl
of employment. The supply of un
skilled labor, for the present, a
least, is ample to meet the demand

stories, but purely by the strength
of those geologic conditions that
prevail here and which to any min

contention of Workman is that, ir-

the district is one of the best feat
ured in all the west. He also con-
tends that Mr.. Cutler is in error as
to who first found the high grade
in the district. The credit for this

wills BROUGHER RETURNS
FROM SHASTA BELMONT

Hon. Wills Brougher returned
Monday morning from a trip to Cal
ifornia where he accompanied viii
f. Casson for the purpose of eX-
aiming the Shasta Belmont Mining
company's property.
Mr.. Brougher informed the News
pecting to find splendid property
but it was far better than he had
anticipated and that he looked for
a big body of high grade ore to be
| opened up in the tunnel that is
| being driven, inside the next 80
days. The work is being vigorously
prosecuted by day and night shifts.
Mr. Brougher and Governor-elect
T. L. eddie sunk the first shaft in
| Tonopah and to them belongs the
| credit of making that great camp.
Mr.. Brougher's many successes in
mining make his opinion valuable
and he paid Mr.. Casson the compli-
ment of saying that he went into
the company largely on Mr.. Casson' s
recommendation and that he found
| it much better property than he had
been led to believe it was.
| Among the many leasing things
about the property are the wood
water, electric power available, the
nearness to transportation and tc
smelters, and also the low wages as
compared to mining in some local
tiles
