Categories: HOUSEHOLD TRAPS.

one part, and bird-lime six parts (see page 97), will be found to

attract large numbers of flies and hold them prisoners upon its

surface.



Spruce gum, warmed on the fire, and mixed with a little linseed

oil, is also excellent. For a genuine fly trap, the following stands

unrivalled.
