Fly Notes 
We have a vacant house on the bank 
of iee pond, and when Cutting ice have a 
fire there to eat dinner by. Usually on 
the second day. and from then on, several 
flies come out from their seemingly dor 
mant state and buzz around ; have some- 
limes killed two dozen of these pests on 
the windows in January, February o 
March. If they hibernate thus in a vacan 
house why can they not seek cracks in a 
cellar or some moderately warm place?

Glenn \V. Herrick asks (page 279) 
what becomes of house-flies in Winter? 
Wore he to come to our attic I think he 
would find next year’s crop for West¬ 
chester County, minus a few pecks we 
have slaughtered. This house has a large, 
open, light attic, and it has been reason¬ 
ably clean since we moved here last May : 
double windows to east, south and west. 
Kach bright, warm day tin* glass is ac¬ 
tually darkened h.v flies, and the noise 
makes one think an airplane is passing 
overhead. Our house is heated h.v fur¬ 
nace, and a trap-door keeps beat from 
attic. Outside of house is shingled, and 
windows and shingles do not fit tight. No 
stable near. I have nine liens I have been 
keeping since late Fall, and keep the small 
henhouse clean. Not a week this Winter 
one or more flies have not been killed in 
some part of the house. Every door and 
window was screened early last Spring, 
and we were not bothered at all with Aie- 
during Summer and Fall. Being a stran¬ 
ger here, I know no neighbor to ask if 
other houses are the same. E. H.

a r e as strong as they are handsome. And 
give ideal silage protection because of the 
triple-wall construction. 
Inner wall is closely fitted upright staves—an 
ordinary silo in itself. Your old stave silo can be 
used for this wall, saving expense. 
Second wall is heavy Silafelt, to keep out rain, 
frost and air, safeguarding the silage. 
Third wall is Crainelox spiral covering, winding up to 
the top. Protects and reinforces every inch of wall. 
No unsightly hoops or lugs to adjust and worry about. 
The Craine Silo is a permanent 
building that pays rich interest every 
year on the investment. The strong¬

through crevices in the shingles. The 
closets in the attic are not plastered, but 
rooms are. When it is bright and 
the sun shines on the attic windows the 
flies swarm there in great numbers. I 
cleaned on a bright day. and swept, a 
cupful out of the windows, but on the 
next day there was snow and it was very 
cold, so the flies were lying around on the 
floor in a dormant state. I swept all of 
them up and burned them. I am sure I de¬ 
stroy a pound during the Winter if the 
days are alternately warm and eold. We 
are not bothered w'th flies in the Summer 
to any extent, as the wind does not drive 
them here, but permits them to live where 
they are hatched. We use screens and 
traps outside. There surely should be) 
laws to prevent a farmer from piling up 
manure that way. without a screen, if 
flies are to he prevented. The people are 
not awake to the danger of the pests.

We have had large numbers of flies i*>'l 
the house all Winter. Some evenings w° 
have killed a dozen around the electrie 
light. _ They seem to buzz around and 
sometimes fall on the table, and seem 
slow to recover themselves, and sometimes 
buzz into my hair, and get swatted in 
either case. It is the same in the bed¬ 
rooms. The flie« vrv much in size, so 
that I have wondered whether they were 
ordinary house-flies. Outside I have an 
old house used as a workshop upstairs 
In November there were hundreds of flies 
every day on the windows. I often put 
dishes with poison pads up there for their 
benefit. Thousands were killed, hut I am 
not sure there was an apparent difference 
in number. T am not sure these were 
house-flies; they seemed rather larger and 
more noisy. If not. what kind could they 
be? I never saw such numbers before, in 
or outside the house. The long, mild Fall 
might have something to do with it.
