State Bureau Tells How To
 Murder Flies

New Haven, Sept. 20.-The Con- necticut Agricultural Experiment Sta tion of this city has issued a special bulletin to-day on how to get rid of flies. It says:
 Flies breed in filth and then trav- eI over food. They are especially at- tracted by filth and by the odors of the pantry and kitchen. Coming from foul and decaying animal and vegetable matter their feet and bod and are deposited upon human food. Several important diseases of man. kind are spread in this way includ!iig typhoid fever cholera and dysentefy.
 Though flies may breed in any de- caying animal or vegetable matter develop in stable manure.
 Each female may lay 120 eggs, which hatch in less than twenty-four hours, and the maggot and pupa stages each last about five days, mak- ing only ten days from the egg to the adult fly. The adult fly may live for many weeks.
 Prevent the breeding of flies by not allowing manure to accumulate about stables. It should be removed once each week. If not feasible to do this keep it in screened cellar or shed, or treat it with oil every few days. Garbage cans and swill tubs should be covered. and not kept near the kitchen. Sanitary closets should be maintained.
 In order to reduce the danger of contracted disease through the agen- cy of flies, these insects should not only be reduced in numbers, but even the few should be kept out of houses. All rooms should be provided with screens. It is especially important that the dining room. kitchen, and pantry should be kept free from flies, and it is equally important to keep flies from the siok-room.
 Food should never be exposed to flies
 1. One of the best fly poisons is formalin mixed with water in about five per cent. streength. exposed in shallow dish. The flies will drink 1t the North Carolina Station recom- mends one tablespoon of commercial formalin to a half-pint cup of half milk and water. placed on a shallow plate with slice of bread in the liquid. The bread gives more sur face upon which the flies may alight. Formalin fly poison is not dangerous to use and is especially successful in reducing an abundance of flies if the room can be closed and if they do not have access to any other form of moisture.
 3. Traps are servfceable.
 8. A liberal use of insect powder (Pyrethum) in a tight room will stu pofy the flies and they may be swept up and burned.
 4. Sticky preparations such as Tanglefoot" fy-paper will catch many flies.
 5. Use wire f1y-killers to destroy stragglers.
