Investigators consider the fly to be
| an agent in transmitting glanders,
j while a disease known as Infectious
i anemia or swamp fever of horses is
thought by some to be carried by this
1 fly. A number of years ago it was
found to act as a transmitter of a
| species of roundworm that Infects cat-
j tie.
| Animals weakened by loss of Iflood
are more prone to contract other
! diseases. "Texas fever" in an acute
| form often attacks live stock that has
become less energetic in lighting with
stable Hies. The joints of both horses
and cattle sometimes become so swol-
len from standing in water where they
sought protection from flies, that they
; can hardly walk.
Even man may be inoculated with
disease by this pest. Septicemia
, (blood-poisoning) is considered to be
carried by it and demonstrations of

ate regions where domestic animals
are reared. In regions bordering on
tlie tropics the flies are of importance
throughout the entire year. In the ex-
treme southern part of our country
there is no month during the year iu
which flies are not annoying to horses
and cattle. In the Northern states,
the fly is parti*, ilarly injurious and
abundant in the late summer and
fall.
Investigations made during recent
years showed clearly that the vast ma-
jority of stable flies bred in straw-
stacks. It was also shown that while
the fly breeds in pure horse manure, it
favors a mixture of this substance
with straw.
The fly was found to be breeding in
much greater abundance in oat straw
than in wheat straw. Kice straw, was
also found to furnish suitable breed-
ing conditions and there is little doubt
that barley and rye also serve as food
for the immature stages of the insect.
The development of this insect is
somewhat slower than that of the
housefly and it is therefore quite nec-
not covered with blankets, or nets.
Since strawstaeks have been found
to be the principal breeding places of
this insect in the grain belt, the proper
care of the straw is by far the most
important step iu control. The straw
should be stacked more carefully than
is ordinarily done, by making the sides
of the stack nearly vertical and round-
ing it up well on top iu order the bet-
ter to shed the rain.
All straw not required for winter
feed should be disposed of immediate-
ly by burning or by scattering it over
the land soon after threshing and sub-
sequently plowing it under, or by burn-
ing the stacks. The plowing under of
the straw is the most advisable
method of procedure, aft by this prac-
tice large amounts of humus are added
to the soil.
All stacks not consumed by stock
during the winter should be promptly
disposed of in the early spring. This
may be accomplished in the same way
as has been suggested for the fall.
Heavy rainfall on freshly threshed
straw, produces an unusual outbreak
of flies by rendering the straw largely
unfit for food for live stock and thus
offering breeding places. In such in-
stances their immediate destruction by
burning or scattering is necessary to
relieve the condition. The work
should be done thoroughly, and when
the stacks are scattered all the straw
should be completely exposed to the in-
fluence of the elements.
It is best to plow under the scat-
tered straw soon after It has become
well dried out. In sections of the coun-
try where headers instead of binders
are used, the straw is much more eas-
ily disposed of. The general adoption
of the field threshers would completely
solve the question of the strawstack.
It is reported that this machine re-
duces the expense of harvesting from
14 to 2 cents per acre and the straw is
left standing In the field. The chaff Is
scattered over the ground and the en-
tire refuse turned under at plowing
time.
The use of poisons to destroy imma-
ture flies is neither practical nor ad-
visable.
Typhoid Fly Facts.
1. Where do young flies live? In
filth and manure.
2. Where do flies first dirty their
mouths and feet? In every kind of
filth imaginable.
3. Is anything too dirty or bad smell-
ing for flies to ent? No.
4. Where does the flv go when it
flies from the vault, the manure pile or
the spittoon? (a) It may wipe its feet
upon the clean lips of your sleeping
cause files are most numerous during
those seasons.
12. Why is typhoid fever common
in one community and not in another?
Largely because the common housefly
is abundant in one locality and is con-
trolled In the other.
13. Where are flies most abundant?
Where there is most filth.
14. How shall we kill the fly? (a)
Destroy all tilth about the 'house and
yard; (b) Put lime Into the vault and
over the manure; (c) Trap all flies be-
fore they enter your home by using
wire flytraps; (d) Kill all flies, large
or small, with a "swatter;" (e) Use
sticky flypaper or fly poisons around
the house or store; (f) Pour a borax
solution over manure, filth or other
places where the fly may rear its
young.
The Fly a Peril in Cities.
In the fight against the deadly house-
fly the public should understand the
odds against which It contends to rid
cities of this pest* and the vigilance
j necessary to obtain even a modicum of
safety where the Insects exist.
Each female lays 120 eggs, which
hatch in eight days. Ten days later
the new generation is in flight, carry-
ing on the work of death. It Is esti-
mated that the progeny of a single
pair In one season is one sextlllion. or,
in figures, 1.000,()00.000.000,(K)0.0(H).000.

i partment of agriculture In its experi-
ments has found larvae and pu-

nuri to make 1,2<X) houseflles. A sin-

flies for a large territory.
There Is hope of greatly lessening
the pests in cities If the authorities will
enforce good ordinances on the sub-
ject of removing manure and garbage
promptly. The increase in automo-
biles and auto trucks has already aided
in exterminat.ng flies. Horse owners

"Of other flv poisons mentioned,
mention should be made, merely for
a purpose of c >ndminntion, of those
composed of arsenic. Fatal cases of
poisoning of children through tl<e
use of such compounds are far too
frequent, nnd owing to the resem-
blance of arsenical poisoning to
summer dlnrrhea ami cholera in-
fantum, it is believed that tho cases
reported do not, by any means, coin-
prise tho to'al. Arsenical fly-de-
stroying devi« es must be rated as
extremely dangerous, and should
never be used, even if oiher meas-
ures are not at baud."

with si view of repelling the Hies from
live stock. Although some materials
gave a measure of protection for a
time, none had a lasting effect. In ad-
dition to the temporary value of these
substances, injury was sometimes pro-
duced- by their application. Many
malodorous mixtures, particularly of
an oily nature, have some value, but In
preparing these care should lie taken
that they are not made too strong,
particularly when animals are being
worked in tlie hot sun. If they are
made too strong they are likely to
cause overheating of the animal and
produce shedding of the hair.

ter. A still cheaper and more effec-
tive destroyer of the larvae is kero-
sene, a pint of which sprayed upon
every eight quarts of manure will kill
the maggots.
So far 11s th° dwelling house Is con-
cerned there are a number of effective
ways of destroying files. Carbolic
acid Is one. Twenty drops of this on
a heated shovel or anything of the
kind will kill the Insects by its vapor.
Hut as tills is a dangerous thing to
I have in the house where young chil-
; dren are. It would be better to get
something harmless and yet effective.
P.uy one dram of bichromate of
potash at a drug store. Dissolve it in
two ounces of water, add a little sugar,
and place the mixture in shallow
dishes about the house.
Another good remedy is formalin or
formaldehyde. A spoonful of this In
:i quarter of a pint of water will kill
all the flies. As this is a poison. It
must be placed where children cannot
reach it.
When a room is found full of flies
they may be immediately destroyed b.v
the use of py ret brum powder. Close
'the doors nnd windows and pull down
all the shades except one, which leave
up about a foot. Take into the room a
tablespoonful of the powder on a hot
shovel. The fumes will drive the flies
in their death struggle toward the foot
of light at the window. There they
will fall dead and may easily be swept
out.
There nre various kinds of sticky fly-
paper. trnps, etc. The papers should be
burned when they have done their
work.
Screen every window nnd door of
your house aim keep the screens on
till you start up yor.r furnace.
Have separate screen covers for
food which must be exposed in pantry
and kitchen.
Let cleanliness, and cleanliness, and
yet more cleanliness be your motto all
summer long.
Important Don'ts.
Don't dine at a votel, bearding
house or restaurant where flies nre
tolerated.
Don't allow flies in your house.
Don't permit them near your food,
especially milk.
Don't buy food where flies are per-
mitted.
Don't allow then* in the sickroom.
Don't let them crawl over the baby
or tlie nipple of its nursing bottle.
