FLY SCREENS OR
SWATTERS, WHICH?

Don't domesticate the fly this
summer. Keep him out of the
house, where he belongs. We can
at least keep him away from our
food OF course, it would be
Ideal to abolish flies altogether,
to stamp out the whole race of
flies and then never have to
bother about them any more,
but we can't hope for that for a
long time yet. When it comes
to annihilating any particular
pest, bug or insect by ordinary
human power, it becomes a big
Job. About the best we can do
is to int; oduce some other pest,
bug, insect or natural enemy
and let him do the work for us,
and even introducing a natural
enemy does not always succeed
For the time being, therefore,
we may about as well content
ourselves with screening ouI
houses TO keep most of the flies
out. AT best, flies are more OIL
less OF an unnecessary evil L
we could keep flies out of oul
houses, groceries, markets and
milk rooms. about ninety pei
cent of the damage they dc
would be prevented.
Fly swatters have their legiti
mate, place, but don't think fol
a minute that fly swauter takes
the. place of well screened doors
aud WINDOWS Screens are OIL
the job all the time, but yor
can't afford to be on the jot
very long with your little swat
ter.

When and Where to Swat

Fly screens keep most of the
flies and mosquitoes out of the
house. Swatters were only inten.
ded to put on the finishing
touches. The best time to use
the fly swatters is just before
meal times. Ii the kitchen and
dining room doors and windows
are well screened it takes only a
few minutes to swat the few flies
that get in, aud then you
can prepare and eat a meal in
peace and safety. Try it once
The Parma herald. (Parma, Idaho) 1903-1917, 1913-05-22

Right now is the time to get in
your best work on the fly. Go
after his breeding place 1t is a
ten to-one shot that somewhere
around your premises there are
accumulations of horse manure
or garbage, or other even worse
fly breeding material. Remove
it, bury it, or have it ploughed
under before the flies beat you
to it.
