How to Prevent Breeding.

II you have stable do not allow
manure to accumulate The manure
should be removed twice day to
closed pit and should be removed from
this twice a week. Do not tolerate
manure piles.
Green vitriol. one pound in a gallon
Of water. applied once u day will kill
the maggots in the manure from a one
horse stable.
If the old fashioned dug clubhouse is
used it should be thoroughly treated
Mt frequent intervals with chloride Of
lime.
Garbage cans should be closely Gov
cred. or. better, should have fly trap
attached to the cover in such way
that all files flying upward from the
garbage will be sure to enter the trap.

A DEADLY MENACE AND
PUBLIC SENTIMENT.

The presence Of flies Is a disgrace to
any community. 1t Is all right to en-
gage in crusades to kill the beasts, but
1t Is far better to look to 1T that the
breeding places are abolished Flies
breed chiefly in stable manure. street
dirt and garbage. The presence OF a
large number Of flies around any one
place is a sure sign Of fllth being some
where in the vicinity.
When people come to realize that
flies mean filth and filth means criml-
nal negligence degree Of disgrace
will attach to the presence of flies
around a store. restaurant, soda foun-
tain or residence that will seriously
impair the prestige of the offender 10
the community.
The flies are quite the most danger
Gus and dirtiest beasts that roam
through our mysterious creation.-E

for the offense.
Do not believe that train can al
ways be heard. Il cannot. For this
reason people are killed. People think
they can hear the noise OF train
when it is far away. A lot Of these
people have been struck by locomo-
tives when an instant before they
would have taken their oath there was
not train within half a mile Of them.
The noise made by a fast railway
train is chiefly directed away from tho
train at the side. Comparatively a
small portion Of the noise is projected
along the track in front of the train.
Any other unusual noise at the Same
time may divert persons attention
from the noise made by an approach
ing train.
Another reason why trains may come
upon a person walking on the track
before he realizes their approach is a
quality that sound possesses In COM
mon with other wave phenomena. al
though to a less degree, Of travelling
in straight lines. Thus fast train
approaching sharp curve on the con-
cave side of which there is high ground
and on the convex side broad plain
will give a person on the curve almost
60 warning Of its approach until it
swings into view. short distance
away.
Walking on a road with two or more
tracks is particularly dangerous. =
large portion of accidents to trespass-
ers occur on double-track roads where
man in getting out Of the way OF
one train steps onto the other track in
front of another train which he has
not seen or heard.
It seems worth while, therefore, to
set down the following rules which
should be observed by every one who
walks on the railway track. as follows:
Cd Keep constant watch of the track
both in front and behind: (2) watch
and listen with particular care when
approaching a curve. while on the
curve, and after passing the curve;
(s) when walking on a douhle-track

Where does tho fly live? In
