it remained for tho United States,
during the war with Spain, to demon-

by authority that more soldiers were
killed by the common house flies than
by the Spanish bullets.

also laden with such other matter
as Its body may come in contact with.
Development: The eggs are de-
posited in hog, cow, and horse manure.
The latter seems to be preferable.
Human excreta and decayed garbage
is also used by them. Each female

Now is the time to keep the fruit
ground well cultivated. Tho primary
object in cultivating orchard land in
Oklahoma is to save moisture, conse-
quently cultivation should not be de-
layed until the moisture has more or
less escaped. After each rain, as soon
as the ground can be handled, it should
be thoroughly cultivated. The delay of
a day is frequently of vital importance.
This is of particular necessity in the
case of orchards because tho injury
that will come from neglect will show
for some years after.
Anyone who has travelled over an."
extent of western United States and
observed agricultral practice is struck
by the fact that the yearly rainfall has
but little to do with the suffering of
plants from drouth. In many parts of
the region lying between the Rocky
Mountains and ths Pacific coast the
rainfall is less than in most parts of
Oklahoma and yet they never have
drouths. The difference lies in the
form and time of the rains. Their
rain comes in the winter in the form
of slow drizzles which last for days.
This rain all sinks into the ground,
and if care is taken to cultivate early
are elongate, white, and hatch within
six or eight hours into white pointed
maggots as shown at (f) in figure 1.
This maggot develops while it
there prevailing a dust cover made on "worms" its way feeding through de
the surface of the soil in late spring
will last till fall as there are no rains
at that season to form a crust.
While it is more difficult it dess not
seem to be impossible to keep this
dust cover oil Oklahoma orchards. It
requires a little more of care perhaps
but the additional time and labor is
more than made up by our added near-
ness to market, and consequent saving
in transportation charges on fruit.
The great difficulty usually is that
the Oklahoma fruit grower has more
land than he can look after. He gau-
ges the amount of land he can handle
by the acreage he can keep clean of
weeds. The presence or absence of
weeds is in truth a very minor factor
in determing the welfare of an Okla-
homa orchard. An orchard may be
woefully neglected and never show a
weed and on the other hand on certain
seasons and at certain times in the
season the presence of weeds in an
orchard may be positively beneficial.
The prime object always should be to
keep dust mulch of three or four inch-
se thickness constantly present on the
surface of the soil. As fast as a lain
caying material, (c)* is the head end

Preventing Flies: All parties own-
ing stable stock, such as horses and
cows, should either construct bins in-
to which the accumulation of manure
can be placed, or keep the latter thor-
oughly dried by scattering it in the
open field. The bin should be con-
structed so as to have a tight roof and
substantial walls. Interstices should
be made in the top sisdo of the walls
by spacing the boards two or three
inches apart. The latter and a door
should be covered with a screen,
which is for the purpose of Retaining
flies which may develop therein, and
for the escape of many small para-
sites that breed in the immature house
flies, which are of great importance
in destroying the growing forms where
they may be developing in an over-
looked breeding place. Many eggs and
larvae of the typhoid fly are likely to
ho thrown into the bin with the ma-
nure. If the parasites are allowed
egress and Ingress, their develpoment

We have thousands of such letters, and more are

have tried it, surely proves the great value ot this vegeta-

Cardui relieves women s sufferings, and builds weak
women up to health and strength. If you are a woman,
give it a trial. It should help you, for it has helped a mil-
