Couer Manure Box
and Garbage Can

A proper system of manure disposal
is more important than all other meas
ures combined as a method of con.
trolling the fly nuisance A proper
method of garbage collection and dis
posal is next in importance. The gar
bage should be drained. wrapped in
paper and collected in a fyproof metal
bucket. The bucket should be washed
at intervals with I've soap and water
and then sponged with kerosene in
water.
The foregoing advice is from the IA
nous sanitary authority. DR.. w. A.
Evans OF Chicago. In our local cam
paign We should utilize this informa.
ton to the utmost 1t has long been
recognized that swatting the fly would
never rid the community OF his whole
tribe forever more. We have learned
that We must make war on him early
in the season By getting rid OF his
breeding places and his natural
sources of food supply-flth.
Some OF US are inclined to grumble
that campaigning against flies lie
mighty troublesome. Well, the grum.
blers will find it less troublesome to
campaign efectuaIly against flies than
to nurse a member OF the family
through a spell OF typhoid fever-and
much less expensive.

per cent OF improved roads. the in
crease OF population in each county
, was 81 900 The 'backto-the-farm'
movement will progress Just in pro-
portion to the improvement OF the
highways. and the improvement OF
the highways is dependent upon ad-
ministration not less than upon con-
struction.
There must be skill in the super
vision as well as in the building OF
the roads. Heretofore at least nine
tenths of the work on the roads has
been done under the direction OF men
without any knowledge OF roadbuild-
ing. which is an art based upon a sci
ence. There are today more than 100,.
600 petty road officials IN the United
States who have no practical knowl-
edge OF the simplest engineering prob
lens that must be solved In the loca-
ton OF the roads. in their relation to
a general systsem, or to related sys-
tens; but who are supposed to have
great influence in neighborhood poll
tics and are mighty at the polls. II is
from this incubus that the problem
must be relieved II the country is to
enjoy the benefits of a well ordered
system of highways.
Good roads not only cost a great
deal OF money in their construction.
but also in their maintenance or ad-
ministration. II has been the habit ia
this country to work on the roads
when all other work was done, and
this has meant that the roads have
had attention only once or twice a
year. Macadam roads do not take
care of themselves, concrete roads
should have constant attention, sand
clay roads require daily supervision IL
they are to give service for which
they were designed and built In
France every mile Of road is inspected
daily. and II is the constant vigilance
OF trained supervision that enables the
railroads OF the country to take care
Of the business OF the country There
| ought to be the same sort and degree
Of supervision OF the roads OF the
United States IL they are TO give the
service for which they are built. To
make mile OF macadam road eight
feet wide and eight inches thick. 1,750
tons OF stone are required, and to
build mile OF gravel road eight feet
wide and eight inches thick, 1.l4293
cubic yards of compacted, or, 1864 Gu
bic yards of loose gravel are required.
and in order that the best results may
be obtained, there must be competent
supervision not only in the mixing Of
the materials employed in the build.
ing Of the roads of the several types,
but in the placing OF materials.
There are 100000 miles of what
are commonly called dirt roads in
| the United States. and to make them
effective there must be proper drain
age, such grading and alignment
as will make them fit for the traffic
and constant surface betterment, and
IT is nothing short of criminal waste
to build roads of macadam and ex.
pect them to take care OF themselves.
Undoubtedly the best system of main
tenance for all roads is that which pro.
vides for the permanent and some
times continuous employment OF
skilled laborers who have charge of
particular sections of road, or who
may be assigned to any part Of the
county or other road unit where there
is work most needed.

There are over 4OO.OOO,OOO acres OF
uncultivated land in the United States

developed without improved highways.
1t has been shown that the value Of
land is increased evenly with the inn
provement for the roads. the increase
running from 81 to 50 the acre. As
the roads are improved, there is a
corresponding increase in population.

No FIkh-No Flies!

Files and filth go together. No filth.
no flies! About the only good thing
you can say about the fly is that his
presence should stimulate you TO hunt
up the place where he was born and
destroy 1t SO that it may breed no
more of his kind
Fly swatting may be a popular pas
time. II has been talked about much.
So far. It has proved Ineffective. The
well-meaning person, applying the
swatter at every opportunity. kills one
ny at time. The removal of the con.
tents OF single manure box will swat
millions Of them at blow.
Screens and swatters are a good
thing, but a clean neighborhood is the
