Juno 23, 1910 THE DEADLY 1( )t'S} FLY. -- The rauipaler, egat:rst ,he house (ly is proceeding this year as never before. Boys Good Ifoueekeeping. Moving pir- turce. at -cure -I Ir England for till's ape' - lei purpose by the American Olvir As- ..o:iarton. are being •!:own at the (he- e trea v.' the regular amusement circuits tar .t:.d wide. These arc accompanied by a short talk. setting forth the dan- gerous habits of the fly. and to stimu- late the public to fight what is some- times termed "the most dangerous .uti- ntal on earth." To kill all the files in a roost. put a spoonful of torment: or formaldehyde In a quarter of a pint of water and act where the tiles can drink It. Another poison, which is net dangerous to hum- an life, le blchromtde of potash in solu- tion. Dissolve one dram of the drug. which can be bought at any drug store, Ln two ounces of water and add a little Sugar for sweetening. Expose this so- lution In shallow dishes.. "At the present time," said a recent haus of the New York Medical Journal "the house fly -and thls doer not nec- eaaarlly exclude other flies - stands accused of transmitting tuber:uloals, leprosy, cholera, summer diarrhoea of children, plague, carbuncle. yaws. ox- yurls, tapeworm, swine plague and typhoid fever; and 1 t may be confidently asserted that we have already a suffici- ent amount of experimental and clinical evidence to prove our case against it." Don't forget for a moment that the fly is born in manure and comes straight from swill buckets, spittoons offal. to your dining table, if he can possibly get Into the house. He was dubbed last year the "typhoid fly," because he had been convicted of spreading typhoid by wholesale In army camps and elsewhere. He to also the "dysentery fly", hav- ing conveyed disease and death to countless children. These are estab- lished facts. Remember that when and where ab- solute cleanliness prcvalle there will be no flies. Look daily after the garbage cane see that they are clean. sprinkled with kerosene oil and effectively covered. By all meas whatever precautions arty be taken or not taken. don't let toe flies get near the milk. DONT LET A FLY ALIGHT ON THE CIIILDRF.N'S FOOD OR YOUR OWN. - - — F'ARM HELP AND FARM MACHINES What would this twentieth century' ag- riculture do without farm machinery? The 1 ;,plement manufacturer is in the business to stake money no doubt. No is the farmer tor that matter. Yet ag- riculture owes no little part of its auc- ceas to -day to the man who has de- alaned and placed upon the market the modern farm implement. In these days of labor scarcity where would the farmer be had he not the implement maker within easy reach. with the latest contrivances for doing farm work whether It be on land In springtime, in the harvest field in summer or in the barn or stable during the fall and win- ter months. Take away all the new and improved farm machinery invented dur- ing the past ten years and where would the farmers of this country be? SVork would be lett undone. the acreage in crop would be materially lessened and the productive power of the tarot de- creased. Tire. farm machinery •'oets and the annual expenditure on most farms on this score runs into quite a b'g sunt. But it is a necessary ex- fpendtture and more so to -day than tt ever was hec'ause of the scarcity of farm eelp. Labor saving machinery Ia the one thing more than any other that is helping the farmer out on the help question. A QUEER MAIL DELIVERY. One of the most remarkable mall routes in the world ie that which a let- ter journeys In getting front Beebe Pl tin, Vt., to Beebe Plain, Quebec. Can- ada.
