Flies, those spreaders of disease,
breed in winter as well as in summer,
says the Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association. The statement is
based on an examination made Janu-

actively propagating in a heap Of man
ure, covered with tar paper and rub
bish, though the temperature had been
down nea zero not long before. The
manure doubtless had supplied the nee
essary heat, and this was retained by
the material. This explains the often
heard question, where do all the flies
come from" 1t has long been known
that adult flies survive the winter,
alternating in cellars and similar
places, that they actually breed in cold
weather is a feature rather annoying
to contemplate. The moral seems to
be that manure should be as carefully
guarded in winter as in summer.
