sity of Wisconsin recommends the use
OF arsenic.
Hutchinson of the department OF ag
riculture says that when manure is
so spread out that 1t rapidly dries out
flies will not use 1t as place in
which to deposit eggs. The depart
ment recommends that manure be
scattered on the fields and thus be
rapidly dried out This IS even more
effective than treating it in boxes with
borax, iron sulphate or paris green.
To prevent flies from breeding in
stable manure several procedures are
advised. Some of these are.

than flies do to reach a good feeding
place. Nevertheless it can be accom-.
plished.
The larvae can be killed according
to the method of Forbes. A barrel

Austrian Tyrol, which Is today iI

by Americans.
Austrian Tyrol forms a consider

and Austria. 1t is a barrier more ef-

the Carpathian barrier between Hun.

The population of the crown land

Number raos on Fishes,

An idea Of what is being learned by
scientific study Of fish life In the
waters on the coast Of Norway was
given by DR.. John Hort In a recent
lecture. Fishes bearing numbered
tags have been systematically released
during number Of years. and the
records OF the time and place Of re-
lease and subsequent capture. with
other facts. have been carefully kept
In this way much has been learned OF
migration and Of growth and age as
indicated by annual rings on the
scales. 1t has been shown that growth
is more rapid In favorable years than
in others. The basis of an estimate
OF the catch Of any season to the mum.

this ratio for the common food fishes
being about one to ten.

GETTING RID OF FLY.
Only Sure Way Is to Keep
Things Cleaned Up.
Prevent Pests Breeding, and There
Will Be No Problem to Solve IN
Hot Weather-Manure Pile
and Garbage Pail.

The only rational and sure way to
get rid OF the fly is to prevent breed
lng-clean up. Next to keeping the
premises cleaned up, the most impor.
tant thing is to keep the houses we'll
screened. Those that do get into the
home should be killed. 1t is especially
important to kill those that appear
early In the season. One fly killed
now means millions less in August.
The house fly breeds, usually, in
fresh manure. The more of this waste
that is allowed near the house the
more will the dwelling be infested
with flies. Not only do flies breed in
NTH. but they have filthy habits. They
are distributors Of disease germs OF
all kinds. including tuberculosis germs
Extreme care should be taken. there
fore. to destroy breeding places and
to keep flies out OF the house.
After you have excluded Mr.. Fly
from your house next turn your at.
tention to your garbage pail. This is
one Of the great breeding places for
germs of all sorts. Don't be content
because the garbage man has emptied
your pail. 1t must be cleaned II in
no other way, put few newspapers in
the bottom of it and burn them Heat
is simple disinfectant II possible
pour a bit of creolin or an oil dis
infectant on the papers and place the
cover part way over the pail. This
Will rid your garbage pail OF any
germs. Remember that only by sani-
tation can fevers and various other
diseases be prevented

For Aeld.proofine Concrete Pipe.

rendering concrete pipes acid-proof.
Tho method consists OF coating the in.

could not be made to adhere perma-
