cold air, so darkened stable viii af-
ford sanctuary for their victims, pro-
vided the door-ways are hung with
strips of burlap Or other material to
brush off the clinging pests when the
animal enters.
A trap known as the Hodge fiytrap
and described in the bulletin is easily
constructed, and when set in stable
window, with all other entrances and
exits darkened, it is very efficient.
Trenches dug in the soil and smear
ed with crude petroleum upon the
sides will afford some protection for
hogs and sheep. In the case of the
latter animal the petroleum need not
be used. ~
Burlap blankets, with provision for
the protection of the legs, are suitable
for an animal that can not be given
the shelter of a darkened, fly trapped
stable. Ordinary nests of cord or
leather are not sufficient protection
against this determined insect.
But the most efficient protection is
in methods of prevention rather than
in means to cure the evil. The proper
time to eliminate the assassin is while
he is weak and weaponless-the
period before he emergcs from the
shell, armed and equipped During
the early stages of it's cycle it is
very easy to kill the embryo torment,
and at that point where he is most
numerous the breeding place.
Flies Emerge in Warm Weather.
Through the winter months the
larvae or maggots, sheltered in the
decaying straw and manure piles, de-
yelop slowly, change to pupae and are
ready to emerge as flies when warm
weather comes. So it is easy to ex-
pose them to their worst enemies,
light and lack of moisture, by
thoroughly scattering the manure or
straw. Straw stacks should be burn
ed or distributed SO that the light may
| reach the larvae and pupae of the
fly. There is the additional merit
that a certai nmaount of humus is re-
stored to the soil where this waste ma
terial is plowed under. When header
machines are used instead of binders,
this plowing is easily accomplished
IN the warm months all stables re-
fuse should be drawn out every
! three days and scattered, or else it
should be made fly proof by means de-
scribed in the pamphlet which may be
obtained free from the Department
of Agriculture.

STABLE FLY PLAYS PART
OF ELUSIVE ASSASSIN

,T 1t is curious to observe how often
mans instinct ,misleads him; how fre-
quently the things we fear most prove
quite harmless, or even beneficial
when we know them better, while the
commonplace and apparently inno-
cent facts and conditions of our lives
are charged with a deadly menace
that we never guess until science un-
covers the true qualities.
The house fly furnishes an instance
OF this Scientists have taught us
how we may protect ourselves against
the flN and the mosquito, and they
are now prepared to help us protect
our dumb animals from insect ene-
mics.
One insect, in particular, has the
same innocent appearance as the
house fly, but he conceals the impulses
OF an assassin under a cheerful and
treacherous exterior This savage in
sect is known as the "stable fly" or
"stock f1y," and to scientists as
Stomoxys calcitrans l.. The Bureau
of Entomology, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, has prepar-
ed pamphlet, Farmers Bulletin
1897" devoted to an intimate descrip-
tion of this gauzy-winged Apache
and to methods for limiting his san
culinary assaults upon domestic ami
mails. The ravages of this fly extend
throughout the entire country and the
problem Of checking the insect is uni
versal
StomoXys will attack man upon oc-
casion, but he prefers a more help
less victim, and alranges his "hosts'
in about this order of preference;
Mules, horses, hogs, dogs, cats, sheer
and goats. He carries germs many
times from diseased animal to d
healthy beast. There seems to be nc
doubt that swamp fever is, to some
extent carried in this manner among
horses, anthrax among cattle, anG
spinal meningitis among humans.
Means of Protection.
Oils and ointments are OF minor
value in protecting animals from the
stable fly, though a mixture of 1 gal
Ions of fish oil, 2 ounces of oil of pine
tar, two ounces Of oil of penny royal
and one-half pint of kerosene will b.
fairly effective if applied lightly.
Stable flies do not like darkness O

BOOZE ATTITUDE
OF HOOVER USED
IN PAPER ITALIA
Southern California italians
Wondering What AdUertise-
ment Meant; The Ho0uer
Campaign People Paid fer
'Ad.'

LOS ANGELES, April 90
Numbers of the Italian residents of
this city are today puzzled over the
true import OF an advertisement pub
lished in ''Italia," newspaper
printed in the Italian language in
San Francisco. The advertisement
was paid for by the Hoover cam
was paid for by the Hoover
campaign people in San Francisco.
A translation seems to show that
the Hoover campaign managers in
San Francisco are attempting to
prove to the Italians of San Francis
co that Hoover is not in favor of
prohibition, and that johnson is. The
heading reads as follows Facts
and not words. The prohibition of
johnson and the prohibition of
Hoover"
The advertisement first states that
"The vote of the Italians in Califor-
MIA, without doubt, will be an i'm
portant factor in the near primary
election. 1t is natural that the differ
ent candidates at the next election
will try to get the support of the
Italians, and their votes"
The advertisement next says: 'It
is neither just nor opportune that
they should try to camouflage them
selves for that which they are not,
and so attempt to fish for Italian
votes under false pretenses."
And a little further along: "Such
short sighted politicians are in
Johnson's campaign, who lately in
California and especially among the
Italian have spread propaganda de-
nying the incontestable fact that
johnson has favored prohibition with
an open sword"
And, still further, after Johnson's
record is brought forth to prove him
prohibitionist, appears this: "a
record like this is in striking contrast
to the conduct of Hoover, who fear
llessly to include in his regulations
for the preservation of food a clause
prohibiting the manufacture of wine
and beer, even against strong
pressure from members Of congress
who desired to use him as a cats paw
to pull their chestnuts out of the

tisement. and the one which is causing

view, which is of their officia
conduct, we can't run away from tht
conclusion that Hoover is agains

prohibition, and this the Italians

One thing that is particular!
puzzling the Italians in Southern
California is the fact that advertise
ments of such Import as this have
not been put in any of the Italian
papers in Southern California by the
Hoover campaign managers down
here.
The explanation, of course, is thai
