A fly in a house is as dangerous m a rattlesnake, as filthy as a louse, as disgraceful as a bedbug. The time will come when any modern, tleanly home will feel itself ahsamed and disgraced by the presence of a ly, and when every householder upon whose premises a. brood of flies is detected will be fined heavily and sent to jail. The fly is a Utpral “eye of the Lord” because he is every beholding evil and the good, •specially the evil, for he loves to lay eggs in it. You can’t hide dirt from a fly. He iB also the most in timate and domestic animal we breed and keep. An. ounce of cleanliness is worth a ton of fly pa per and wire screens. One-half the money wasted on fly traps and win •low screens, one-fifth the energy squandered in slapping and profan ity would clean up the backyard and wipe out the fly. ■fertilizer Men Will [w Appeal to Congress.
