Show H THE FLY B NUISANCE B t Public sentiment has made excel- H. lent progress In regard to the fly ) l,ct. Many of us can remember from our chlldliood how Indifferent mm people were to this plague.

It was more customary In Ihuso djiys to build stables nuito ninr iho p houses, in many plies the fash- HHK Ion prevailed of attaching il:,-m dl- 'i rectly to (Iwclllngs, sometimes con- HBT ncctcd wltli a woodshed or carrlago r.J house. No good reason nppp-ired for K this proximity, except possibly that HflJ n n stormy day tho owner could Ko H1 "t lo his benslR without gottln? wet, H' n very poor ccuso for n thoroughly HHj timlcslrahlo arrangement.
