New and Effective Method of
Destroying Flies.

A safe and effective weapon
against the typhoid or house fly
has been found in powdered
hellebore by scientists of the
department. Flies lay their eggs
chiefly in stable manure.
Powdered hellebore mixed with
water and sprlnkled over the
manure will destroy the larvae
which are hatched from the
eggs. Since powdered hellebore
is readily obtainable, this puts in
the hands of everyone a remedy
for one of the pests that has been
found dangerous as we'll as
troublesome. Powdered helle-
bore, however, will not kill
adult flies, which must be swat.
ted or trapped.
1t has long been known that
flies breed in manure, but pre-
vious methods of destroying the
larvae there by the use of strong
chemicals have been open to
the objection that the treatment
under some conditions lessened
the fertilizing value of the
manure or actually injured
vegetation. This is not true of
powdered hellebore. Govern
ments have shown that the
hellebore is entirely decomposed
in the course of the fermenta-
ton of the manure, and that
even in excessive quantities it
does no harm except to the
larvae it is intended to destroy.
Chickens picking in manure
treated with it suffer no i'll
effects.
One-half pound of powdered
hellebore mixed with 10 gallons
of water is sufficient to kill the
larvae in 8 bushels, or 10 cubic
feet, of manure. The mixture
should be sprinkled carefully
over the pile, especial attention
being paid to outer. edges In.
most places helfebore is obtain
able in 100 POUND lots at a cost
of IL cents pound. This
makes the cost of the treatment
q Atle less than seven ,tenths of
a cent per bushel of manure.
A liberal estimate of the output
of manure is . bushels a day per
horse. The money involved is
therefore trifllng in comparison
with the benefits to the indi-
vidual and the community from
the practical elimination of the
disease-spreading fly.
Although fresh manure is the
favorite breeding spot, flies lay
their eggs in other places as we'll
such as outhouses, refuse piles,
etc. In these places, from
which no manure is taken to
spread on the fields. considerable
saving may be effected through
the substitution of borax for
powdered hellebore. Applied at
the rate of 0.62 pounds per 8
bushels of manure, borax is as
effective as powdered hellebore
in killing the larvae but costs less
than half a cent for each buShel
of manure treated. In larger
quantities, however, or when
themanure itself is spread at
greater rate than Is tons to the
acre, some damage to crops may
result. Large quantities of
manure are often used by mar
ket gardeners and others, and
there is always danger of care
lessness in applying the borax.
The use of the more expensive
but safer hellehore is therefore
recommended for the treatment
of manure. Borax is recon-
mended for all other refuse in
which flies may lay eggs.

DIVERSIFIED FARMING.
A Safeguard Against Failure Owing to
LOW Prices.

A Safeguard Against Failure Owing to
Low Prices.
In some parts of the country certain
crops are selling this year for very low
prices. This is not an unusual cond-
tion Of affairs because the price of
these same crops tluct,,utes widely
from year to year. Even in the same
year certain districts receive high re-
turns while others show losses.
A study Of the older agricultural dis
tricts In the eastern states reveals how
the organization Of the farm guards
against severe losses at such times
In Chester county, Pa. for instance.
dairying is the chief enterprise. sup
plemented by such cash crops rs pota-
toes, hay and wheat. Some additional
income is derived from the sale Of cat

crops as potatoes or hay might be I'M
usually low. yet affect the farm profits
for the year comparatively little.
In another district, central New
York. hay. potatoes. cabbage. beans
and fruit. with some live stock. are
the important sources of income. This
year potatoes. fruit and early cabbage
are all low in price. Yet these farm
ers through excellent diversitcation
are practically insured against any
large losses.
1t is in this respect that settlers in
the newer agricultural areas Of the
western and southwestern states have

| When agricultural districts are devel-

do not have time to act properly the
result is oftentimes very imperfect

caused by the extreme protitableness
of certain crops for a few years and
the consequent development of farms
on the basis of single enterprise

tion. land prices are often forced so
