EARLY ANTlFLY CRUSADE.

The fly is a nuisance beside being
a carrier Of infectious diseases, and
the attempt to exterminate it needs no
Justification How one can make ones
home, town Or city fyless is described
by Q. F Hodge OF Clark university,
Worcester, Mass. He says that the
American public spends $l0,OOO,OOO a
year for window and door screens in a
futile attempt to exclude lively insect
which insists on getting into the house
every time the doors are opend. He
believes also that the method Of swat
ting the flies using fly-paper or in
dor traps Or TJoisons is ineffective, but
may help. His method is to make use
in various ways Of the conical wire
mesh fly-trap, which is familiar to al.
most every one in such a way as to
turn the tables on. the flies and put
them in Jail and let ourselves out =
The plan Involves Of course, the aboli-
tion, as far as possible OF all breeding
and feeding places for flies and the
application OF the fly-trap mentioned
above to the garbage can, to the
screens on windows, tothe covers on
manure bins, etc, all Of which can be
done by little mechanical ingenuity.
Garbage cans are on the market which
have a cover larger than the can and
not fitting down closely on it SO that
the flies gain access to the can under
the cover and escape through hole
in the cover over which is fixed a
fly-trap. In fighting the fly, Hodge
has found that the essentials of a sue
cessoful campaign are to transfer the
fight against the fly from the house
to outdoors. and then to etxerminate 1t.
Another essential feature in a town or
city is that households must cooper
ate One ignorant or careless home
can breed flies enough to vitiate the
best endeavors Of whole town Hodge
has succeeded in his neighborhood IN
practically eliminating flies; he uses
no screens in windows and doors. and
can sit out doors or have windows or
doors open at any time without moles-
tation. AS flies begin to breed early
in the spring and as they breed with
marvellous rapidity, the time to arrange
for a fly campaign is in the winter.

that the white light Of publicity should

TWENTY YEARS A RENTER,

How many farm owners can say they
have had one tenant for twenty years?
How many tenants can say they have
lived On a rented farm continuously
tor twenty yeafsg It happens only
once in community and not in every
community al that, says the Wilson
County Citizen. Robert Koch has been
a tenant and lived on a farm owned
by }, S. scudder. three miles west of
Fredonia, for more than twenty years.
For the past several years Bob has
had absolute control Of the place. 214
acres, has put in certain crops and
used the land as he saw ut without
even consulting Mr.. scudder, the Cit
zen says further At harvest time
Bob writes Joe letter and tells him
he IS going to thresh on a certain day.
# it is convenient for Joe to 20 out to
the farm, he goes; If not, Bob writes
another letter and tells him how much
corn he has in crib And Joe is salts
fled because he knows the amount Of
wheat threshed and corn shucked.
In another item the Citizen makes
mention Of this fact and states that
the fa9ln has made both Of these men
rich, and II is the truth. But what
kind Of treatment has this renter had
to have to be satisfied TO rent and live
on another mans farm an these years
