The Worlds Work outlines the follow
ing rules for the determination of the
chief pest OF summer: First. kill all the
flies in the house. Close the windows
and doors, heat small coal shovel, and
pour twenty drops of carbollc acid on it.
The fumes from the acid will kill all the
flies in large room. Another way is to
burn pyrethrum powder-ordinary "Per-
sian Insect Powder"-which. if pure and
freshly ground. will give off dense
smoke that will stupify every fly within
reach of its fumes, SO that they can be
swept up and burned. Kill them with
SWEATERS" A very simple homemade
"swatter" can be made Of piece Of wire
window screening four or five inches
wide and six to eight inches long. inserted
in cleft in the end of two-foot stick.
For the stray fly. use sticky fly paper
and poison. The most effective poison is
solution of formalin in the proportion Of
eight teaspoonfuls to a quart of water.
This is a safe poison where little children
are about. for even If they should drink
it, it would not kill them. Break small
nick in the edge of bottles mouth, fill
the bottle with the solution and stand it
inverted. in a saucer. Enough Of the
poison will flow into the saucer to an
swer the purpose. and as it evaporates
more will flow down from the bottle.
A piece Of bread covered with sugar.
placed in the saucer, will attract the flies.
If placed where dogs or birds can get at
it. cover the poison outfit with a screen
of coarse wire, SO as not to poison any
thing but the flies.
Another cheap and reliable fly poison
which is not dangerous to human life is
made by dissolving one drachm Of BIZ
chromate of petroleum in two ounces Of
water, sweetened with sugar.
Fly traps can be easily made at home
by rolling piece Of wire netting into a
cylinder eight inches in diameter and a
foot high. Another piece Of netting is
folded ihto cone and placed over the
top and another cone placed inside the
lower end of the cylinder. this cone hav-
ing hole punched in its apex through
which the flies can crawl readily. The
device should be set up so the flies may
crawl under it. and baited with sweets.
A form of fly trap that is especially
effective IN stores and restaurant kitch-
ems consists of a trough of tin, three
quarters of an inch wide and of the same
depth, and as long as the width Of the
window. If this is placed close against
the window on the inside and kept half
filled with kerosene, every fly approach
ing the window will fall into it, for the
fumes of the kerosene have an over
powering effect on the insect.
Screen doors are favorite gathering
place for flies. which hang about them
waiting for someone to let them IN. Mix

There would be no flies to kill il there
were no filth for them to breed in. Nine
ty per cent Of all flies are bred in horse
manure. so keep the stable tightly
screened. with fly traps set in the window
screens. Spray the floors around the
horse stalls with a good disinfeetant.
Pyroligneous acid, a by-produet of the
distillatlon of turpentine. is very valu-
able spray. because it is effective and
non-infammable. 1t can be bought for
S4.25 a barrel and may be obtained
wherever paints and oils are sold. Kero-
sene is good, but increases the fire risk.
Keep the stable refuse in bin tightly
covered with wire netting cover. This
will prevent the female fly from getting
access to the contents to lay her eggs.

spray every receptacle for refuse with

And He's Now Chewing Hay.

The Rocky Ford correspondent to the
Pueblo Chieftain had the following
"spasm" on Monday: Alfalfa salad is
becoming quite the luncheon dish in
Rocky Ford and is being tried in other
parts Of the state and is mighty sight
better than lot of the eoncoctions that
are labeled salad in many boarding
house. Fresh gathered alfalfa leaves
with good dressing certainly make a
good relish. but when it comes to using
the weed for green's, well the writer was
induced to try it and is frank to say tina,
one trial was sufficient to convince us
that the good Lord never intended alfalfa
for green's any more than he did that the
boarding house mistress should serve
steved prunes three times day."

the recall Of judges as unnecessary and

The Republican party favors the enact

as criminal offenses those specific acts
that uniformly mark attempts to restrain
and monopolize trade. to the end that
those who honestly intend to obey the

several sharp clashes. Col. Roosevelt de-

he said that when he returned to Oyster
Bay he would communicate with num-

The chief point of interest to Roose-

would be able to carry with them the
strength OF the following which Roose-
welt heretofore has had in the Republican
party. Some said frankly the movement
was inaugurated on the assumption that.
since Col. Roosevelt had been the choice
of the party in number Of the Repub-

these states in line for the new party.
No plan has been decided upon by
which it would be possible to effect

the lecturer appeared to have

weather had something to do with
it, as upon the former occasion
the weather was in keeping with

delivered very interesting and
