to fit over it may, however, be
placed over a hole in the cover
of a garbage can. BY putting
everything attractive to flies in
this recepticle, a complete
focus of the pests may be es
tablished which will draw in
every hungry fly aud catch it.
III all the meat scraps are in
cluded with the garbage, the
host of flesh flies, the blue-bot-
tle-and greenbottle- flies, will
also be caught, along with sew.
eral other common species.
The stable-ily, the fly that
"bites' with a sharp sting. the
black fly. the little horn-iiy and
the bot-tlies, are all probably
attracted only by warm blood,
upon which they feed.
If we allow no free feeding,
there will be no breeding on
our Premises. and with four
teen days in which to catch n
fly between the time it energies
and begins to lay it's eggs, this
methods ought to do away with
the breeding altogether.
Before storms, on cool even
ings, or when odoriferous cook
ing boiling cabbage or can.
ming fruits being done, flies
swarm into the kitchen. The
attraction may he food, shelter
or warmth. The attraction is
complete, we shall probably
need to have our Kitchen doors
and windows screened, and
this situation indicates u third
line of attack.
Flies, buzzing round and try
ing to get in, continually alight
on the screen and crawl up.
We should have tho screen
cover the entire window on the
outside, then, by arranging two
guide strips like a letter GA"
and near the top of the screen,
leaving u single ily-space at
the apex of the a. and plac-
ing over this n little wire trap,
every fly attracted to the kitch-
en- window will be caught.
None of these will go back to
the stables to lay their eggs.
The Civic League hns these
fly traps on hand now, and
those who are testing them are
very much pleased with the re-
suit. They can be bought by
applying to Mrs. Otis Mouser
price 25cts. and if the supply
on hand does not hold out, the
League will take orders and
get in new consignment.
Mrs, j l.. Bostwick, on Gilly
Avenue, deserves special
prize from the Civic League for
the grandest specimen of pink
hydrangea over grown in Big
Stone Gap. The plant has
been in bloom for about two
weeks now and it is worth
walking a mile to see.
Quite the prettiest window,
boxes seen i'll town for several
summers are those of Mrs.
Wood and daughter, the mis-.
sionaries, who occupy the front
rooms on the left above Nickles
Brothers store. Both windows
facing the lorraine are n

saw such beautiful display of
phlox in your whole life.

A Ten Day Generation.

a recent solution OF the fly
problem has been Of the sort
Indicated by our successful
work against the mosquitoes,
and has attacked the breeding.
places. Mosquitoes breed in
stngnant water, flies in manure
aud in other decomposing mat
ter of all sorts. 1t is a compar
atively easy matter to drain,
fill, oil or stock with fishes the
pools of a neighborhood. 1t is
an extremely difficult and com.
plex operation to treat all ac
cumulations of waste matters
SO that flies cannot breed in
them.
a generation of flies to be
produced requires only ten days
and in the cities, even if all
stable manure were moved
weekly, there would still re
main the miles of cutters and
sewers, the dumps, vacant lots,
alleys and accidental accumu-
lations everywhere. In the
country, even if all stable and
barnyard accommodations were
plowed under weekly, or even
daily, there would still be the
miles of roadsides and acres of
pastures, so that, as Doctor
Howard says, we can never
hope to exterminate the typhoid
fly in the country by this line of
attack.
According to recent investi-
cation, flies rarely travel more
than five hundred yards from
the places where they breed.
Every fly begins az an egg de-
posted in some kind of organic
filth, 1t matches into n tiny
maggot within few hours,
begins to feed and grow, com
pletes its growth and comes ont
as n perfect fly in possibly in
ten days. 1t then requires at
least fourteen days to mature
its first batch of eggs, and it
may live to mature and depoeit
at least six layings, Of from one
hundred and twenty to one
hundred and fifty eggs each.
This means that in catching If
one fly we may be prevent. ag
the Matching of nearly thous
and others. If we only knew
how to catch a fly, how easy il
might be to exterminate the
pest.
All we need to eliminate the
fly from our premesis is a durn-
BILE. effective, outdoor wire
screen trap, 40 ,baited that lite
enticing odors will draw into il
all the flies that comes any
where near. The traps we can
buy are intended for indoor use
and rust if used outdoors. The
flies seek their food entirely by
smell and in the traps on the
market the bait tray is too

WHEAT AND CORN
HIGHER TODAY
BULLIsH FIGURES ON. CROP SIT.
UATIOn LIFTS FORMER; HOT
WEATHER HELPS LATTER.

Chicago. June 3o.-Bullish figures on
the condition of both spring ana
winter wheat helped lift the market
today. According to leading author.
ity, the per centage for winter wheat
is 1871 as against S0.4 last month. The
spring crop was put at 70. comparei
with 94.S the corresponding time
month ago Strength of coarse grains
counted also adversely to the bears,
and so did less favorable reports from
Russia as well as lighter shipments
from the Argentine. The opening was
u lower to 1a@Mc higher. September
started at S9as to $685., a gain of n o.
to as@a and rose to 89hc.
Dry hot weather led to an additional
rise. Unfavorable reports from India
had some effect too. There was also
talk of rust damage in Manitoba. The
close, however, was weak, although 70
up for Sept, at s9A @S9Hc.
The corn market was sharply higher
on account Of the hot weather and be-
cause of the extraordinary decrease IN
condition of official reports from Ok
lahoma, 500 per cent compared with
81 last month. Besides. the crop 81
the United States as = whole was said
to show the lowest July condition n
years. Sept. opened y to ~ OILY up
at 60A to GIN, and advanced to 81 % G
A forecast Of continued hot weather
southwest helped prices. The close
though, was easy at GIN @61Ac, a net
gain Of / w.
Oats followed corn, but the rise was
restrained somewhat as result Of
realizing sales. September started n %
~ to h@5s higher at AK to 45c ana
steadied around 44ss 144Nc.
Provisions showed strength In con-
sequence Of grain and hogs being on
the up grade. First sales were the
same as last night to rs cents higher,
with Sept. delivery $3.50 for pork,
$3.50 to ss.37h for lard and $3.50 for
ribs.
