People in the country who are annoyed by flies should 
remember that clusters of the fragrant clover, which 
o-rows abundantly by nearly every roadside, if hung in 
the room and left to dry and shed its faint fragrant per- 
fume through the air, will drive away more flies than 
sticky saucers of molasses and other fly-traps and fly- 
papers can ever collect.— New York Tribune.
