Former is Cause of Typhoid Fever, the Latter of Malarial Fever, A mistaken view prevalent in many farmers' homes is that flies are a pig veg evil which is con- fined to a few summer months, or that they are an altogetner harm- less nuisance. The fact is - that where flies have access to impur- ities of any sort they may carry leadly germs, which they deposit In crawlin over focd in kitchen, pantry or dining room. In an ar- ticle prepared for the Country Gentleman and now reprinted in pamphlet form by the author Wil- liam Paul Gerhard writes on flies and mosquitoes as carriers of dis- ease and on what farmers can do to assist'in the campaign against em. Both typhoid and malaria, though occurring to some extent in cities, are considered to be rei country or farm diseases, and flies may be the indirect cause of typh- oid. fever and mosquitoes of malar- ial fever. While both flies and mosquitoes are bad enough at cer- tain times in the city, they consti- tute in agricultural districts a ance to horses, cattle and men, cause of physical discomfort and a! nuisance by which health may be- come seriously affecte In cities the rapidly increasing er of stable pits reduces THE FLY NUISANCE The antiquated and most prim- | existing on many farms offer fay- | orable conditions for the breeding | and rapid multiplication of _ flies. The extermination of flies can be brought about chiefly by a diligent attention to a proper disposal of waste matter and by the mainten- ance of scrupulous cleanliness. Horse stables, cow barns, all out-buildings should have constant care and attention and they should e so constructed that they can be looked after with the best results. Dairy farmers should look particu- larly to the sanitation of the milk! house and all its surroundings, and dairy windows and Oors should be screened. pulously neat, gutters and stalls of stables should be cleaned daily and all refuse heaps kept covered pend- | ing removal. No decafing material should be permitted to accumulate on the household premises, and, the garbage pan should be cleaned and scoured daily and when in use should be always kept well cover- 1, All wooden garbage boxes or ed.

The way to get rid of flies is by absolute, cleanliness, and the up to date! farmer for further protection screens all his windows and out- side doors. WHERE MOSQUITOES BREED. Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water, in wet marshes or in any pool or permanent water accumu- lation, as in adly graded irrigat- ing ditches or in roof gutters hold- ing water; standing water in large or small volume anywhere may breed them. Mosquitoes are not merely a con- stant source of discomfort, regards some species a serious dan- ger to health, been asserted that by the attacks of swarms of mosquitoes upon herds} of cattle their milk yield has been | so reduced as to make the keeping | unprofitable. Horses are injured by the attacks of mosquitoes. It is a familiar fact that there are tracts of land in various parts of the country that are made practic- ally uninhabitable and impossible of development owing to the pres- ence of Mosquitoes in large num- bers; and many places badly in- fested with them have shown a de- preciation or have failed of appre- ciation in their property value, so that ali mosquitoes are harmful in one way or another. For mosquito control or exterm- ination there are now employed many means, which are applied by individual work on one's gwn pre- mises or by combined or commun- ity efforts. Obviously all windows and outside doors of farmhouses should be carefully sereened to keep out mosquitces, as should he also rain water barrels and ather water receptacles; but the breed- ing places of mosquitoes should be done away with by drainage, by filling in or by treatment with ker- osene oil cr similar preparations. NEIGHBORIN G FARMERS should co- operate. In farm _vil- jages improvement societies should be formed, one of their objects be- ing organized war on the-mosquito. eg a of such a society should be laid out and di Much of the work to be done is of an engineering nature, such as the ditching of marshes, the proper ereane of gutters and so on, and assistance of an engineer fam- iliar with drainage work is much to be desired. Each farming mem- ber of the society should make _in- dividual effort about his own pre- mises, and these individual labors should be supplemented by t combined community effort in what- ever direction that may be requir- THE SUNDAY SCHOOL STUD INTERNATIONAL LESSON, MAY 28, Lesson IX.--Micah's picture oft : universal peace, Mic. 4. 1-8. i Golden Text, Mic. 4. 3.
