"The House-Fly at the Bar" is the title of a 48-page Illustrated patnphlet which the Merchants' Association of /v.a rru? i>cw JL ui tk laacuuiug uuu iuc pui" pose is to inspire interest in. tbe national movement in educating the public to a knowledge of tbe dangers of tbe fly plague, ana the means for putting an end to it. Tbe News is in receipt of a copy of this interesting booklet. We wish that every person In South Carolina who could read could scan it. In this pamphlet are assembled the testimony of health officers and other expert sanitarians of the country as to the dangers arising from the house fly. There are letters from the health departments of 70-odd cities so-altered all o**er the United States, giving the results of investigations with regard to transmission of typhoid and other germ diseases through the medium of flies. It is the unanimous verdict of all that the common housefly is the most dangerous living thing j known to civilization. I n this part of tbe country the spring I aud summer are the time of the year I for the wide and disturbing activities I of the house-fly; hence, this is a most suitable time for elaborating on tbe i dangers of disease dissemination by Lthem. Hitherto, the fly has been regarded complacently as a harmless nuisance I and considered to be an annoying ! creature with great persistence ana excessive familiarity. Regarded in the light of receut knowledge the fly is more dangerous than the tiger or the cobra. Worse tban that, he is, at j least in our climate, much more feared than tbe mosquito and may be easily I claHsed as fearful to life. It has been I for some time thoroughly well demonstrated that he is one of the chief | ageucies in the spread of Asiatic cholera. We now know him to b-> the source of a high percentage of the cases of typhoid fever," and the chief disseminator of intestinal diseases from which about 7,000 children die annually in New York City alone. There are seven different varieties ol flies found in our homes; OS percent of which is the common housefly. Born iu manure, generally that of the horse, or in decomposing matter of any kind, vegetable as well as animal, they enter our homes to alight on foods there stored. Their tastes are indelicate and omnivorous; they subsist on sputum, faecal juices, and the slime aud dirt that stick to exposed surfaces. Their proboscides, through which they feed, are connected with an extremely active salivary gland, capable of pouring out a large quantity of saliva, which the fly projects against a i ^kt? ontifnAa oiimi llmi'i tinr t Ka anhon. j Uij cunauc, onauumug on uov-quent solution. Natural solid particles, living organisms, parasites, and eggs, small enough, may pass into the digestive tube. Bacilli of different types aud eggs of the nematodes have been observed in tbe proboscides,stomach intestinal and tract aud defecj tions. Tbe time that particles remain I in tbe digestive tract of the fly is from 12 to 23 days. Evidently tbe digestive secretious are not active for harm, as I organisms will not only pass through alive, but increase in number while in transit.

It is fstimated that one fly, laying 120 eggs at a time, will have a JJJ progeny amounting up to the sextillions at the end of the season. C. If the house-fly were a creature diffi- al cult to destroy, the general failure on in the part of communities to mnfee any R efforts whatever to teduce its numbers b could properly be termed criminal m neglect; but since it is a comparatively easy matter to do away with the 8h plague of fles, this neglect becomes an hs evidence of ignorance or carelessness in regard to disease -producing filth ^ which to the informed mind constitutes a serious blot on civilized methods of life.

He U |ust a plain farmer? who farms: not on paper, or on street corners; bnt farms In ihe soli, with blh own bands He does not farm from nece^sltj; bnt because be loves th& business. Be loves the soli, the water, the air, the sunshine and rain. He loves the crops, plant*, vegetables, fruits and flowers. He bas studied tbelr needs, and knows bow to apply the necessary work and plant food to bring the best results. The following epitome of the various crops be bas produced on one acre of land, each, In one year will prove: He bas made eighty bushels of shelled corn on one acre In one year. His made thirty bushels wheat on one aora In one year; and cut one ton pea bay lrorri the same acre the same year. Has made twenty-flve bushels barley on one aore and cut one ton pea hay same year. Has made seventy bushels oats and cut one ton bay the same year on one acre. Has made one bale (500 pounds) lint cotton on one acre in one year. Has made 200 gallons ribbon cane syruo (as good as tbe best New Orleans syrup) on one acre In one year. He bas not made truck and garden and fruit culture a specialty, but bas been very successful.In growing It. Hps made at tbe rate of 200 bushels sweet potatoes per acre: 200 bushels Irish potatoes 10U busbels onions and 5,000 bead cabbage WHlgblne four pounds each. He grows all tbe fruits and vegetables usually grown In this country In the greatest abundance and perfection. He bas not made live stock a specialty, but bas grown some very valuable horses and mules and cattle. Has bad beeves to weigh 1,000 pounds at three years old, and cows that made one pound best butter per day. He has made bog raising a specialty; always raising enough for bis own family, and to spare. He raised the largest hog ever raised In the county. The hog weighed 700 pounds net,Including lard. The lard weighed 100 pounds, and tbe hams weighed 60 pounds each, after being cured; and were sound to tbe bone. The net value of the bog was 875.00. He and Mrs. Wilson have been very successful in raising poultry. They sell poultry and eggs at all times. They told SHU.00 worth last year (1908). This is some of tbe things be bas accomplished on the farm. I will not undertake to elaborate bis plans or methods, some of which are original with him. He adbereB to four fundamental principles: 1.

The tender green of early spring Is rapid changing to tbe deeper shades of summer. Is past ihe middle or May, tbe last sprl; montb.and tbe cotton and corn are np m growing. OdIv In low bottoms is tbe co yet nnplantfd. After tbeee two crops t next In Importance are lorage crops for t live stock. Hay Is being bonght yet from 01 er section*; timothy hay, which was groi by those larther nortb. This Is not as should be. Why may not our bome peoi be as enterprising as these farmers ? It Is t late now to remedy tbe errors of last ye; but now Is tbe time to prepare for anott year, so that It will not be necessary to b any bay. From now until tbe end of June tbe most favorable time for planting peas, is on this plant that we should rely for a lai part of tbe bay that Is necessary. This si Improving legume finds its natural bome tbe Sontb, wltn Its long warm summers, a abundant summer rains. Whenever tb< comes a soaking rain, so that it is too wet plow in tbe corn and cotton, then is tbe tli to break tbe stubble after grain, for tbe p< crop. Some, Indeed many, are doing this i ready, while many others are not awake tbe possibilities just here. It is partlculai for tbese that these lines are written, wl the hODe that thev. too. mav become lntere pd Id growing peas for soil Improvement a for bay and peas. In the grain Held* U 1 usual place to plant them, but It Is all rig to put tbem Id any unoccupied land, and w?'l be the belter for It. Tbe soil needs something to cover It, and we do not keep It covered with sometbl valuable, It will grow np In weeds. One tbe surest ways of keeping up tbe fertility onr fields Is by keeping ibem covered mncb aa possible wltb growing crops. P< will do tbls In tbe summer, and it would still better If something was planted in t bare fields In tbe fall to keep them cover darlDg tbe winter. In the warm months t peas will gather nitrogen for us, and frc September to April crimson clover or yet would do tbe same. Nitrogen Is one of t most expensive and easily lost of tbe e inents of fertility usually bought. If it possible by means of peas aDd other klodr plants, to get It from the vast store of the < mosphere, we should surely set about dol this. This is a very busy time and whenever it dry enough, It will be necessary to be at wo in tbe corn and cotton, but tbere will prob hly be heavy showers some time In May ai June.and always it is possible to plow mu sooner after them in stubble land wblcb b not been broken than In tbe other cultlvat fields. These are tbe times to get tbe pe planted. Like other things, tbey respond good preparation and manuring, but w stand more rougb treatment than m< >blngs. It would certainly be a good plan s ways to barrow a field after tbe peas bad be plowed In. Tbls will leave it smooth ai even, so that the mower can be used easll If one would tHke tbe trouble to throw o tbe good-sized rocks, and to get out t bushes and slumps, so much tbe better.

If there Is ai acid phosphate left over from the other cro] It will help the peas to put It under tbei They do not need nitrogen so much as olb Tops do, but still the/ rtspond to llbei treatment. * One other crop may be mentioned here. Is sorghum. There Is hardly any summ forage crop the equal of this for green fee lng. A small rich spot will make a surprl lng amount of sorghum cane, but It will grc on quite thin soil. The richer the ground t closer It can be planted. And if It la cut ai dried It will make fine feed for winter. P corn 1r good, but hardly so good as the cat Like the peas, cane seems to suit the Sou especially, and we want, to plant those thin that are hardy and sure. Let us commence this spring to give mo attention to the raising of forage and soil It proving crops. The toll Is the bank and i cannot continue to draw on its store of pla food Indefinitely without muklne some i turn. Fees and the clovers will fill the g that needs closing. The litt e wild clov comes of itself. Toe other kinds have to planted. If In riding along the road you w uotlce the banks on the road sides wbe grasses ard wild clovers are growing, It w become plain to you that the soil there growing rich, due to the clover and t grasses. It has a dark color, shading < gradually Into the clay subsoil. Where the Is do clover growing, the toll will be red qu: to tbe surface. This is a simple, easily re objeot lesson In soil Improvement. Ji what Is being done for these bauks, alone t road sides, will be done all over our fields, we will give the Deas and clovers a chance work /<>r us. But will we give them chance ?
