The method for using this substance in the
case Of stables is to sprinkle the borax or cole
mantle in the quantities given above, by means
of -four sitter other fine sieve, around the
outer edges of the pile of horse manure The
manure should then be sprinkled Immediately
with two or three gallons Of water to eight BUSH
els of manure. 1t is essential however, to sprin.
kle little of the borax the as it is
added daily to the pile, instead of waiting until
a full pile is obtained, because this will prevent
the eggs which the flies lay fresh manure
from Matching. AS the fly maggots congregate at
the outer edge of the manure pile, most of the
borax should be sprinkled there.
Borax costs five to six cents per pound in 100
pound lots in Washington, and it is estimated
that at this rate it would cost only one cent per
horse per day to prevent all breeding of flies in
city stables. If calcined colemanite is purchased
in large shipments this cost should be consider
ably less At the same time, if the borax is used
on the manure only in the proportions stated,
its value for in the garden or for sale to
farmers will not be lessened
In view of this discovery, there now seems
little excuse for any horse owner or resident Of
city allowing typhoid flies to breed in his stable
or garbage can.
1t is believed that this information will greatly
help the health authorities in their campaign
against the typhoid fly. The health authorities
have long tried to prevent the breeding of flies in
city stables through the of iron sulphate as a
larvacide. In the case of iron sulphate, however,
large amount is required and other insecticides,
such paris green potassium cyanide, while
effective in killing flies, very expensive or
extremely poisonous. Borax which is used free
ly in most households, and is readily available
in all parts of the country has the advantage of
being comparatively nonpoisonous and nonin.
fammable, readily soluble in water and easy to
handle It can be purchased at retail for ten
cents a pound and single pound used as di-
rected in garbage pail open toilet may pre-
vent the breeding of hundreds OF dangerous flies
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1915-06-11

the investigators found that 062 of pound of
borax, or 075 of pound of calcined colemanite
(crude calcium borate) would kill the maggots
and prevent practically all of the flies ordinarily
breeding in eight bushels of horse manure from
developing. This was proved by placing manure
in cages and comparing the results from piles
treated with borax and from untreated piles.
The borax, it was found, killed the fly eggs and
maggots in the manure and prevented their
growth into flies.
In the Of garbage cans refuse piles,
two ounces of borax or calcined colemanite, cost
ing from five cents a pound upward according
to the quantity which is purchased, will ehectua[
ly prevent flies from breeding
While it can be safely stated that no injurious
action has followed the application Of manure
treated with borax at the rate of go pounds for
eight bushels, or even larger amounts in the
Of plants nevertheless boraxtreated
nure has not been studied in connection with the
growth of all crops has its cumulative effect
been determined. 1t is therefore recommended
that not than Is tons of the borax-treated
manure should be applied per to the field.
AS truck growers use considerably more than this
amount, is is suggested that all cars containing
borax-treated manure be so~ marked, and thai
public health officials stipulate in their directions
for this treatment that not over go (62-100) of
pound for. eight bushels of manure be used as
it has been shown that larger amounts of borax
will injure most plants. 1t is also recommended
that all public health officials and others in
recommending borax treatment for killing fly
eggs and maggots in warn the
public against the injurious effects of large
amounts of borax the growth of plants.
Purchasers of manure produced in cities during
the fy-breeding season should insist that the
dealers from whom they purchase give them
certified statement to whether or not the
manure in the particular or lot involved in
the purchase has been treated with borax.
In feeding to hogs garbage that contains borax
care is also recommended. especially when the
animals are being fattened for market Borax is
not very poisonous substance and the feeding
of garbage that contains it to hogs is not likely
to be a serious matter. On the other hand borax
in large quantities does produce gastric dis
turbances and for this reason certain amount
of care is advisable.
