A. Evans, aa eminent health authority and publi-. cist. "As a rule this means that no collection of moist manure is to be left accessible to flies for as long as a, week during hot weather. "Fly eggs and larvae live for a week. In hot weather In moist manure. There- fore, if manure is hauled away and spread oftener than once a week It .will not breed files. The advantage of a daily removal is that it means no manure boxes, manure pits or manure. ;p!lB, and practical experience proves; that give a stable an inch and it takes an ell. "The only places that have enUrely conquered the fly nuisance remove manure dally. The only manure rei ceptacles aro small and portable. Ifi prompt removal Is not possible the next most effective procedure Is treat' ment with chemicals. . "The methods of treatment advised by authorities are with borax, or cole- roanite, or sulphate of iron. If the amount of manure Is small and a good .deal of ground is available, spreading in thin layers on the ground at inter-i vals of three days or less Is feasible and efficient." |
