FOR FLY PREVENTION.
Killing Fers and Maggots fn Manure
Is Most Efficient Way.
Clentson College, March 1. ? A pint

??d borax is better than a hundred
ly-swatters when the aim Is to re
lieve the u..rld of as large a number

made by the federal bureau of ento
mology established the value of pow
dered borax In fly prevention, and
Clemson College advises the p<s>ple of
this state to use It.
Horse and cow manures are the
principal brooding places of flies and
the fight on the housefly should be
gln there. To every eight bushels of
manure apply a heaping pint meas
ure of two heaping teacups of ordinary
commercial powdered borax. Spread
the borax especially about the outer
edges of the pile, using a flour sifter
or any fine sieve. Sprinkle two or
three gallons of water over the ma
nure when It has been treated.
This borax treatment should be given
V
to fresh manure, Immediately after
