Preventing House Flies.
(Chas. w Cashier, in Progressive
Farmer.)

Farmer.)
Last summer | visited a commup-
lty, and one of the first things | no.
ticed was the small number of house
flies. Upon investigation | found the
reason why this neighborhood elect
ed to put up with millions less flies
than usual.
When the first fly showed Up there
were fy-paper, fly-traps and fly
swatters waiting to get him. The
folks said they saved the battle by
getting the early flies.
L fourd all doors and windows
scretned, traps about the kitchen
dooIs Iand near the stables, all rags
and rubbish Kept burned, and no
flies.
The neighbors kept the manure in
fiy-proof closets and the manure
sprnkled with a small shovelful of
chloride of lime. The manure closets
were screened where there were win
dows left for ventilation purposes.
Since the flies breed in the stable

more than elsewhere, those progress
sive farmers cleaned the stable every
day and sprinkled lime on the floors.
The results of these clean condi-
tions about the homes had been a
reduction in the typhoid fever in the
community, as well as lessening other
worries occasioned b. the pest. The
physicians are authority for this
statement.
Moral: Get the first fly when he
arrives, and maybe you'll save hav-
ing to bother with the second one.

Feeding Values of Cotton Seed Meal
{ Progressive Farmer }


A reader wishes to know the "dif-
ference in the feeding value OF a cot
ton seed meal containing s IL per
cent of ammonia and one containing
7b per cent Of ammonia -
In the first place no cotton seed
meal-correctly named-contains as
little as 5 Il per cent of ammonia.
When the content Of ammonia is that
low it is not correct to call il cotton
seed meal" 1t is a mixture Of meal
and some other material, probably
hulls.
A meal containing 5 = per cent of
ammonia Cor 4.52 per cent of nitro
gem contains 2S.31 per cent Of pro-
tein, and meal containing Z II per
cent Of ammonia (6.1S per cent of
nitrogen contains 3S.62 per cent Of
protein. If a meal containing 1852
per cent Of protein sells for $50 a
ton, then a so-called meal, or a mix
ture Of meal and hulls, containing
1881 per cent Of protein, should not
sell for over $22 to $23 a ton.
In some States such a mixture
could not be sold as "meal," but
would have to be sod as a cotton
seed meal feed, or something similar.
Even meal containing 7.5 per cent
OF ammonia, or 6.1S per cent Of nj
trogen, or 1852 per cent o. protein
Is really low-grade meal, although
not generally so classed by law. AS
a matter of fact, however, enough
hulls can be put in 10 serve every
purpose demanded for efficient eX-
traction of the OIL, and still make a
meal containing at least 40 per cent
OF protein, and when meal contains
less than 40 per cent Cf protein it
should be bought at less price. for
it has more hulls in it than is neces-
sary.
