FLY TRAP PREVENTS
RATHER THAN CURES
Trial Is Given at Maryland Agri-
cultural College and Proves
Successful.

| A novel form of fly trap which works
along the lines of prevention rather
| than cure and whose successful oper-
alton rests on several facts connected
! with the habits of the common house
lily has been given a thorough and
gratifying try-out by investigators at
| the Maryland Agricultural College. and
| is described in a recent bulletin of the
Department OF Agriculture. Fly trap
| is really 2 riisnomer in this case, for
! it is a magsot trap, and is SO desig-
nate in the bulletin.
The experiments which decided the
experts to its practicabillty were
conducted last August and September.
and it was then found that aS per cent
of all larvae breeding in manure were
destroyed thereby. Its principle is sim
ple, and In the long run its expense is
probably less than an investment In
screens for dwellings and sprays and
fly nets for live stock.
The trap consists of concrete basin
with latticed wooden platform erected
upon it to hold the manure the hasin
is connected by drain pipe with a
small concrete cistern. The bottom of
the basin is filled With water. into
which the maggots breeding in the
manure drop and are drowned. ~ ire !.
quent intervals the water is run on
into the cistern and is then pumped
back on the manure pile. In this way
all the liquid manure is saved
Lay Eggs in Manure.
The adult fly lays its eggs In fresh
manure There they remain until the
insects are about to enter the pupa or
chrysalis stage. At this time pro
nounced tendency to migrate IS evil
dent. In consequence. If the manure is
placed upon a platform with lattice
work bottom the larvae. while m1grat-
ing will fall through these openings
into the water In the case or the eS-
periments a careful count showed that
between July % and October l about
10000 larvae We're killed in this way.
This, however, does not include the
number that were picked up from the
basin by sparrows or poultry. Alto
Ecther it is estimated tnat curing .he
warm weather the efficiency of the
trap was proba bly, 80 per cent. Later,
when the temperature was lower, the
traps success was not so marked, &C
counted for by the fact that when the
air is much colder than the manure
heap tho larvae will not attempt to
leave, and therefore VIII not fall into
the basin.
Another difficulty. arising from mos.
uuitoes using the water in basin ana
cistern to breed in, was overcome BY
cleaning out the basin at regular in
tervals and by sprnklinE little oil
over the surface of the water in the
cistern.
Properly constructed, says the bulle-
tin. such a trap offers no obstacles to
the convenient and economical hand
ling of manure. 1t is essential, how
ever, that each days addition to the
heap should be sprinkled with sufii-
cient water to keep the manure moist.

particular trap was designed to hold

for three months, but there is no rea
