DO I|lcaS Bother You ?

Flcas are indeed a miserable nuis-
anCe, and nothing but continued vigi-
lance is ever going to get rid Of
them. Since YOU have hauled all lit
ter away from the house YOU will
simply have to try getting the flea
eggs that are in the various cracks
and crevices cleaned out. think
should begin by putting Stats or
something around the house so that
nothing could get under there, as
that is an excellent place for breed
ing them. Then should buy a half
dozen cans Of lye, put some in a tea
Kettle every once in a while and
scald out every place in which ami
mails lie down. should clean the
chicken house we'll, and every week
or so | would pour boiling water
with lye or strong soap suds in it
over kitchen and porch floors, scrub
btng it well into the cracks with a
broom.
! know | am suggesting a great
deal of work for you. but it is the
only thing YOU can do to get rid OF
them. The liberal use Of gasoline
or kerosene down cracks or where
dogs and cats lie will kill the eggs,
but, OF course, one must be very care
ful in using these, as they are very
inflammable. Very often neas get
around the edges OF carpets. in
which case gasoline is the only thing
that will reach them.
In bathing the dogs use crcoIin
wash, about four tcaspoOnfuls to q
quart Of water, and for cats half as
much.
If the llcas bother YOU in the bed
room. put piece Of sticky fly paper
under the bed with a piece of fresh
meat in the center. AS the 0cas
jump for the meat they get in fine
il! paper. 1t is told that a great
many OF them were caught in a room
IN which the breeding places could
not be reached by a man tying q
piece OF sticky fly paper around his
ankles and walking about in the in
tested room for several hours. So
many ilcas jumped on the ankles and
were caught by the fly paper that the
supply was kept down.
If You have a hand pump for
spraying the garden and kcepine
mites and lice out OF the chicken
house, it is a good plan to put kero-
sene emulsion in it and sprinkle all
under the house. in all cracks, or any
place else the flea eggs might be de-
posted. hope your pig pen and
chicken houses are some distahc.
