*How to Cure a Horse of Kicking.A contributor to the current issue

of Farm and Fireside says that hishorse stopped kicking when he gavehim the following treatment:

"We filled a stout gunny sack withsand and suspended it from the ceil-ing with a rope directly in the rearof the kicking horse in such a posi-tion that Its heels could have agood play upon it. This mammothpendulum, needing but. a forcefultouch, would swing with clock-workprecision as soon as the horse be-gan to play its gymnastic stunts up,on it. At the first kick the bagwould swing away only to returnwith great momentum, giving thehorse as good as it sent. Of coursethis unexpected state of affairs re-sulted in a general mixup betweenthe horse and the bag of sand fora few minutes, but the bag held itsown, returning all it received withinteresti, till the horse, coming to thefull realization that there was no useto combat, was perfectly cowed.

'Thle :bag was allowed to hang forabout a -week to insure an absolutecure, and: up to the present tinethere has been no ieed of repeatfingthe pwcm."

The House Fly.

E. S. Tucker, associate entomnolo-ri. of the Louisiana agricultural ex-ri,-nt station at Baton Rouge,

ri •,, as follows concerning that dan• ;: pest, the common house fly,:i th:,' Country Teview of April 24:

'!r -I of the posts that intrude ini•oe- are insects, but some of thefr.,• which are generally called in-e=cts do not rightfully belong to the

;r.!<. ,. Besides insects and their al-I;;s, rats and mice are the other im-Sortan: , foes."'Tih.. common house fly is not only

a trou blCsome but also a very danger-,:s insc•t. It is dangerous on ac-r-m,,t of its filthy habits, as it comes

ronr all sorts of vile places and::irri'-: filth and disease germs to:r fod. Infection with typhold,rm has so frequentlty been traced+1 , s,, yt that it haen been renamed

-b '- id fly.' It breeds in ma--r- hifly and to ?o:ne ext-nt in

a, ad ether foul matter."..1 .many as 120 ri gs are laid byfe on:?l1 fly. Durins midsummer the

a-: <tch in eight hours. On hatch-' 0 fnm the egg, the insect is a,an!l maggot. Th1i . quires about,n days to grr a y~•nsform intof-. The pr• uc.'• of 1200 flies

'rom a pound lf horse manure hasSi (-n found possible.

"'Sc,,r•ning of houses and especial-1 v other buildings in which perish-.h-, food products are prepared or'old is essentlal for protection againstflies. Sticky paper, poison and trapscain b" used for the destruction ofmany fliPs. But the pest must beprevented from breeding if it were tobe put under subjection. Most ef-fective restriction can be made bykeeping daily accumulations of stablemanure in covered or darkenedplaces until the amount may finallybe hauled away and properly distrib-utiled in fields. Great security willbe afforded by excluding flies fromgarbage and putrid refuse. Sanitarymanagement is the course to pursuefor warding off pestilence, and thedanger of the fly as a carrier of dis-cIase will be greatly reduced whenprudent action is taken. Thereforeihe o•.ttruction of privies in sucha manner as to exclude flies can not,^, ir( -,t(nigly uniged.

"Oti--r kinds-of flies sometimes ap-1 pear in houses, being generally at-tracte.d by meat and fruit. Blow fliesare usually the most noticeable vis-itor. Occasionally the stable flywill enter a house and bite persons.It is believed to be capable of trans-mitting infantile paralysis. Owing toits resemblance to the common pest,many persons fail to distinguish - itand wrongly believe that the bitingxwas done by the house fly, when, infact, the latter can not bite."

New Treatment for Lockjaw.One of the most remarkable cures

ever recorded of lockjaw is anfnounced by Dr. Adolph H. Urban, of;Brooklyn, who used a new methodnever tried in this country. It is acombination of the recognized an-ti-tetanus serum with subsequent sub-cutaneous injections of carbolic acid.

The case reported by Dr. Urban isthat of a 5-year-old boy, OliverPinkey. He was apparently infectedwhile playing in the earth of hisyard. In a short time h . developedconvulsions, and finally the rigiditythat is usually a precursor of death.Dr. Urban decided to resort to heroicmeasures.

The child apparently did not re-;pond for several hours; rigidity andntense depression continued. Sud-lh'iy, however, he began to showhe effects of thle tr eatlment, and1he inmprove--ennt was remarkably

-apid.The child was attacked in St pntm-
