"Flies carry the virulent germs of
anthrax. They also carry the eggs
of parasitic worms and the germs
of other diseases.
CDR. Stiles of the u. S. Public
Health Service and of the Hook
worm Commission, after working
for several years in the South,
states that the story of the danger
of disease from the house fly has
been only half told.
Each female fly may lay from
12O to $50 eggs at time. She be-
gins laying from week to ten
days after appearing, and she may
at intervals of ten days lay three
or four such patches of eggs. The
eggs are minute, white and elong-
ate. In warm weather the eggs
hatch in from eight to ten hours.
From each egg matches out a
white magget, which bur-
rows into the manure or other
breeding substance and which in
warm weather grows rapidly and
may reach full size in midsummer
in five days.
"Flies will begin to breed in the
spring as soon as the days begin
to be consistently and consecutive
ly warm. They will continue to
breed until well on into the aut-
umn. The number of generations
will depend on the length of the
warm season, and
there may be, for example, in such
a climate as that of Washington,
nine or even more generations each
year. Further south where the
summer is longer, and particularly
where the climate is moist, there
may be more generations than this.
When cold weather comes breeding
stops and adult flies pass the winter
hidden away in cracks and crevices
&c emerge the following spring to
start new generation

House Flies Carry Many
Diseases in the Summer
One Killed in Early Spring Lessons
Danger Very Materially
Multiply Rapidly

st. Paul, June 12.-Kill one house
fly in the spring and there will be
5,598, 100, 100000 less to trouble the
household before fall.
House flies multiply so rapidly in
the early summer that no person
with an ordinary education and the
use of multiplication table can
even approximate the colony of
flies that has been bred by fall.
The single spring house fly is the
ancestor of nine generations before
September has arrived.
These are some of the statements
taken from a bulletin of the Edu-
cational Committee of the Mime
sofa State Medical Association to-
day, which brands the house fly as
carrier of disease and one of the
real enemies of the human race"
IF every housewife would kill
every fly that comes to her notice
in the spring time, many of the
summer diseases would be obviat-
ed" declares the bulletin. "The fly
carries the germs of disease on its
feet and in walks a disease which
it commonly carries, typhoid fever.
This disease is also frequently gain
ed from polluted water or milk and
from other substances, but the
house fly is responsible for many
thousands of cases. Typhoid is a
germ disease. Four per cent of the
persons who have had typhoid be.
come chronic carriers. Typhoid
germs will remain alive on various
substances, for many days, and
may remain alive in butter fol
some months.
The house fly also carries the
germs and causes the spread of in.
fantile diarrhea. Antify work car.
ried out in a district in New York
City by Armstrong and in Rich.
mond by Levy have greatly reduced
the death-rate from this disease.
Files are greatly attracted tc
tuberculous sputum and can carr,
and distribute the germs of tuber:
culosis for several days.

Butter Production Increas-
ing with Prices Steady
Egg Market Irregular but Slightly
Higher-Live and Dressed POul-
try Demand Fair

While production of butter con-
tinues to show an increase over
last week and the same week a
year ago, receipts on the large
consuming markets during tn.
past week were little behind pre-
vious week, because of the abnorm-
al increase that week partially due
to delayed shipments arriving.
Generally, the supply has been sat
isfactory. Stocks have cleared up
in good shape. Storing was in full
swing.
Chicago butter market on 90
Score Standards today is quoted at
42R cents, unchanged as compar-
ed with last Monday, New York 90
Score Extras are 43R cents.
Egg market the past week was
somewhat irregular, with the feel
ing changing more or less from
day to day. Receipts the first
part of the week were exceptional
ly heavy causing lower quotations.
BY the middle of the week, the
market firmed up and showed an
advance of from half to one cent.
The market finally advanced to 80
to 301a cents on Friday. With the
general feeling that this was un-
justified, decline of one cent fol-
lowed on Saturday.
Chicago egg market on Firsts
today is 20 to 29h cents. New
York Firsts are quoted at 81 to
Biz cents.
Live fowl market the past week
was fairly steady because of the
cool weather throughout the week
although very heavy fowl was sell
ing slowly. Receipts throughout
the week were light but this morn
ing the New York fowl situation
showed considerable weakness and
while there is no definite indication
of any decline it is expected that
there will be some change.
There is an increase in proper
ton of broiler receipts in cars.
Quality of these averages only fair,
the majority Of stock being too
small. Heavy stock continues to
find ready sale.
Receipts of dressed poultry have
shown considerable increase and
the past week has witnessed a
sharp decline in quotations. There
is some prospect of further de-
cline the last part of this week.
Chicago live fowl market today
is quoted as follows: leghorn fowl
81 cents, light weight fowl 20, heavy
weights %, broilers leghorns 49,
light weight broilers SO, heavy
