HOW TO EXTERMINATE THE
HOUSE FLY.
Destroy Their Breeding Places.

There is no "cure-all' for flies, but
where the housewife is willing to aid in
their destruction, at least the number
may be materially reduced. The first
step is to prevent their breeding, and
this takes us to their breeding places,
the manure pile tperhaps their favorite
resort, refuse :. lc, and in any other
receptacle they can find where sufficient
tlth has accum u to provide food
for the maggots
The use of strong chemicals in the
manure has serious drawbacks in that
the action of chemicals has proved detri-
mental to the fertilizing value of the
manure. But this, fortunately, is not
true of powdered hellebore. The United
States department of agriculture expert
ments have conclusively shown that he'll
lebore is entirely decomposed in the course
of the fermentation of the manure, and
that even when used in excessive guanti-
ties it does no harm except to the Larvae
it is intended to destroy. Even fowls
scratching about and picking in the
manure treated with it suffer no i'll eff
fects.
How to Use Hellebore.
The way to use heleboro is to mix "
pound with ten gallons of water, this
amount being sufficient to destroy the
larvae in eight bushels or ten cubic feet
of manure. Sprinkle the mixture, using
a water pot for convenience, over the
pile, and taking special care to cover
the outer edges. Powdered helleboro
costs about II cents per pound when pur-
chased in 100 ID. lots. This makes the
cost of using it bit under Z of cent
per bushel of manure, and as the output
of manure per horse is about two BUSH
els per week, the amount of money in
volyed is trifiing in comparison with the |
benefits derived.
In places from which no manure is |
taken TO spread on the land, borax may |
be used instead of hellebore, at consid |
cradle saving. The government expert
ments show that 0.62 pounds of borax to
eight bushels of refuse, manure, or any
kind of filth, will destroy the Larvae. 1t |
should be borne in mind, however, that
when used in larger quantities, or when
the manure or refuse treated with it is
spread on land in larger amounts than
10 IUHS per dtit, sunni uduldgc may re-
suit
While the treating of manure and ref
use heaps with preventives is great
help, one should go step farther and
do away with refuse around the place,
especial care being used in and about
the piggery and poultry yard. In and
around the house. the first step toward
reducing the number of flies is to screen
the doors and windows effectively, and
then TO swat" every fly on sight, and if
necessary to resort to the use of fly pa
per; il is surprising how quickly flies I
are destroyed when a vigilant outlook
Is kept on them. The fly is not only [
a nuisance TO animals and human beings, q
but it spreads disease and filth, as well.
70 is a menace to health, and should not \
be tolerated, especially when their ex-
termination is such simple matter. J

started from some unknown
origin iii the office Of DR.. j. G..
Bishop, and when it was gotten
under control a number Of
buildings which had been the
homes Of pro sperous business in.
dustries were no more than
smouldering ruin. Several resi-
dences were included in the burn-
ed district. which was goodly
port1on of the business center OF
the town. The fire was discover
ed about eleven fifteen o'clock
in the office OF Dir. Bishop, but
had malc such Roadway that the
inadequate lighting facilities
could not subdue it until it had
covered q large section. The
loss will total III the thousands,
which will be largely covered Dy
insurance The fact that the
town was without d water sys-
tenn and that threatening flames
would wipe OUT the town, caus
ing great cxcitem ent among the
populace. Fortunately the fire
resulted in loss If life. It was
a sad termination Of what had
been a pleasant Easter Sunda Y,
and makes memorable i'll dalax
history an Easter Sunday.
Included in the burned district
winch were reduced to ashes are
the following properties j.. w.
Pool, grocery; Farmers supply
