instructions for the use of The Star

in which is found the greatest number
Of flies.
Care should be exercised to see that
the openings at the bottom of the trap
for the entrance of the flies are not
obstructed by the bait pan. which is
movable and may slide against the
openings.
The trap should be baited by dis
tributing over the inside surface of
the pan a sweetened. moist food hav-
ing an odor. 1t is not necessary. how
ever, that this odor be that of putres-
cent material. Honey or water sweet
ened with sugar to which a few drops
of vanilla extract have been added, will
serve as bait. Bread dipped in cider
will also attract flies
II he flies after entering the trap
will crawl upward through the open
ing above the bait pan into the upper
chamber of the trap. At least once a
day the flies which have ben caught
in the upper chamber should be killed
by immersing the trap. in water until
the flies have been drowned The dead
flies should then be removed by lift
ing the top of the trap. Care should
be taken not to leave the trap in
water longer than is necessary. to pre-
vent as far as possible the warping
