THE only remedy for this serious con
dition Of things" they say, 'is to remove
the pig pen as far possible from the
dairy and dwelling house. Extreme care
should be taken in keeping flies out OF
the cow stable, milk rooms and dwell

DIR. Howard has traced the life history
of the fly, finding that 120 eggs are laid
by a single female, and that in Washing
ton in midsummer a generation is pro-
duced every ten days. In experimenting
he found that his flies would breed only
in horse waste. but the evidence indi-

United States Department Of Agriculture,
sprinkling and soaking such q pest heap
with a solution of one-half pound OF
powdered hellebore in ten gallons of
water (stirring we'll and allowing it to
stand for twenty-four hours). will de-
stroy all the maggots. eggs and larvae
which are then present Almost equally
good results, although not quite so GER
tain, can be secured by sprinkling freely
with powdered borax and then pouring
water over so as to carry ii down all

bore solution required is about q gallon

A recent calculation Of the fy's rate o.

that one fly can have between June l and

and sufficient space for the fly to walk

through a funnel that is a decapitated

The courts have passed upon the
question OF damages for a sufferer from
typhoid who could trace his illness TO
flies feeding upon the filth OF sewage. A
few years ago a ihan living In German
town, Philadelphia, recovered heavy
damages from the city for his illness,
which he proved was caused by stream
flowing through his yard which had been
polluted by sewage from a house ten
anted by typhoid patient. The defense
relied upon proof that the plaintiff had
neither drunk from nor bathed in the
stream. but an entomologist convinced
the jury that he had contracted the dis
ease through the medium Of flies, which

DR.. Howard says the decrease in the
vital assets of our country through
typhoid fever in a single year Is more
than $3.50. .000
The typhoid fly is also disseminator
of tuberculosis. DR.. Frederick I. Lord,
the Boston scientist, says:

made indicating that the poison of this
disease is conveyed by the bite of the
stable fly very much as malaria is con-
veyed by the bite of the mosquito.
These experiments are thus described
by DR.. G. Z. Winslow, an expert on in

Natural History:

ward Medical School, succeeded in pro-
ducing poliomyelitis Qnfantile paralysis),
in six out OF twelve monkeys bitten by
stable flies (Stomoxys calcitrans), which
had been allowed to feed on other mon
keys suffering from the disease.
Professor Rosenaus work has since
beeL confirmed by Drs Anderson and
Frost, Of the United States Public Health
Service. There is, of course, no certainty
that the disease is always transmitted by
the StomoXys. The work of DR.. Flexner
and Of the Swedish observers and the oc-
currence Of a certain proportion OF cases
in cold weather strongly suggest that
sometimes infant paralysis may be spread
by direct contact between human beings
or in other ways than by fly bites. On
the other hand, ii seems certain the bit
ing stable fly is one means by which the
disease is conveyed; and the seasonal
and geographical prevalence of the cpl

is the usual and most important means.
