E HELLEBORE TO
PREVENT FLIES BREEDING
New and Safe Method of De-
strOying the Larvae OF the
Pest Discovered.

ooAN GAA0 SAANSNANN WONPNAA 65aAAAob
the typhoid or house fly has been
found in powdered hellebore by
scientists of the Department of
Agriculture. Flies lay their
eggs chiefly in stable manure.
Powdered hellebore mixed with
water and sprinkled over the
manure, will destroy the larvae
which are Matched from the
eggs. Since powdered hellebore
is readily obtainable, this puts
in the hands of everyone a rem
edy for one of the pests that has
been found dangerous as well as
troublesome. Powdered helle-
bore, however, will not kill adult
flies which must be swatted or
trapped.
1t has long been known that
flies breed in manure but pre-
vious methods of destroying the
larvae there by the use of strong
chemicals have been open to the
objection that the treatment UNI
der some conditions lessened the
fertilizing value of the manure
or actually injured vegetation.
This is not true of powdered
hellebore. Government expert
ments have shown that the helle-
bore is entirely d~ecomposed in
the course of the fermentation of
the manure and that even in ex-
cessive quantities it does no
harm except to the larvae it is
intended to destroy. Chickens
picking in manure treated with
it suffer no i'll effects.
0ne-half pound of powdered
hellebore mixed with 10 gallons
of water is sufficient to kill the
larvae in 8 bushels, or 10 cubic
feet of manure. The mixture
should be sprinkled carefully
over the pile, especial attention
being paid to the outer edges.
In most places hellebore is OBJ
tainable in 1OO-pound lots at a
cost of IL cents a pound. This
makes the cost of the treatment
a little less than seven-tenths of
a cent per bushel of manure. A
liberal estimate of the output of
is two bushels a day per
The money involved is,
therefore, trifing in comparison
with the benefits to the individ-
ual and the community from the
practical elimination of the
disease-spreading fly.
Although fresh manure is the
breeding spot, flies lay
their eggs in other places as
well, such as outhouses, refuse
etc. In these places, from
which no manure is taken to
spread on the fields, considerable
saving may be effected through
the substitution of borax for
powdered hellebore. Applied at
the rate of 0.62 pounds per 81
bushels of manure, borax is as
effective as powdered hellebore
in killing the larvae but costs less
than half a cent for each bushel
of manure treated. In larger
quantities, however, or when the
itself is spread at a
greater rate than Is tons to the
acre, some damage to crops may
result. Large quantities of ma
nure are often used by market
gardeners and others, and there
is always danger of carelessness
in applying the borax. The use
of the more expensive but safer
hellebore is therefore recon-
mended for the treatment of
manure. Borax is recommend
ed for all other refuse in which
flies may lay eggs.
Scientists who have been work.
ing for years to eliminate the
fly are convinced that the use of.
one or the other of these simple
measures is a public duty where
ever manure and refuse exist.
