A safe and effective weapon against
the typhoid or house fly has been
found In powdered hellebore by scien.
fists of the department Of agriculture.
Flies lay their eggs chiefly in stable
manure. Powdered hellebore mixed
with water and sprinkled over the

are Matched from the eggs. Since pow.
dered hellebore Is readily obtainable.
this puts in the hands Of everyone a
remedy for one Of the pests that has
been found dangerous as well as trou-
blesome. Powdered hellebore, how.
ever, will not kill adult flies which
must be swatted or trapped.
Il has long been known that flies
breed in manure but previous methods
Of destroying the larvae there by the
use Of strong chemicals have been
open to the objection that the treat
ment under some conditions lessened
the fertilizing value Of the manure or
actually injured vegetation. This is
not true Of powdered hellebore. Gov

Although fresh manure is the ia
