NO FlLTH-NO FLIES!

SO far, it has proved ineffective. The

Screens and swatters are a good

This spring the kingfsher comes
back to his favorite haunts, and we
hear him as from limb overhanging
the river, with a harsh, loud cry he
drops down and seizes the yellow belly
on which he has had his eye so long,
awaiting the opportunity to secure a
good dinner in this way.
The phoebe, whic,i we all know and
Iove to hear in the early springtime,
commences to build the last of this
month Their nests are found under
the caves, bridges or oil barns, and
are made of grass. fine moss and hair
plastered together with mud and lined
with soft feathers and wool The
phoebe's call is 'tPhoe-e-be, Phoe-
e-be!"
When robins are mated, they build
from the middle of April to the first
of May, near our dwelling houses, in
the apple orchard, in tie pear trees,
and on grape arbors, and in the vines
of the piazza, provided the cats are not
too numerous.
Robins are very domestic, often
rearing three broods in a season.
During this month we have the
brown thrush, whose song is rest for
the weary. He begins to sing early
in the morning, and his voice can be
heard above | others, ringing out like
silver bell
Again he is the last bird to sing at
sunset When all the others have put
their heads under their wings and
gone to Nod-and" the thrush's sweet
song is heard from the woodland.

One way to control the fly is
to catch it in such a trap as
is shown above. The trap may
be placed near the garbage can.
or any other place that the flies
are sure to come. A simple
and effective trap may be made
from a grocery box by substi-
tuting wire netting for the top
and two sides, cutting a round
hole in the bottom and inserting
in it a wire netting cone with
an eighth-inch opening at the
bottom and a half-inch opening
at the top. Some article of
food, preferably a fish head.
should be placed inside for bait.
The trap must be elevated sew
eral inches above the ground, so
as to give the flies chance
to enter. When the trap is full,
it may be emptied by shaking
its contents through a small
opening, ordinarily closed by a
sliding door. The trap described
and shown in the Illustration is
particularly effective one, as
it was planned with a view to
the fy's habits. The odor Of
food leads the fly to enter the
trap at the bottom. Once inside
it is attracted to the top by the
light. When it gets out of the
wire cone it cannot escape. The
trap has the additional virtue of
being inexpensive. 1t may be
made at a cost Of about twenty
cents and about a half hours

HINT TO AMATEURS

Learn to thin ruthlessly. Plants that
grow too close together never do well.
Pinch off all suckers from fruit and
ornamental shrubs. Don't let weeds
get q foot high and then pull them, dis
turbing the surrounding flowers; bet
ter let none be pulled out. Go at
them when they are young and tender
and haven't formed root.
