Investigating the Cattle Fly

Last summer new pest was reported In
cattle in New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland
and Northern Virginia. The pest has
again made its appearance this summer.
1t is q small fly half the size of q horse
fly which settles in q great number around
the base of the horns and on other por-
tions of the body where it cannot be
reached by either tail or head. 1t sucks
q moderate amount Of blood, reduces the
condition of the cattle and lessons the
yield OF the milk by from one third to
one half. This new pest has been inves-
tiga,ed by the Department of Agriculture
through the acting entomologist, - o.
Howard who has succeeded in tracing
the entire history of the pest. lie finds
that the fv lays its eggs usually at night
in fresh cow droppiugs, and that for the
development from the egg through the
naggot stage to the perfect fly again a
space of only 12 days is necessary. He
says this rapidity OF production accounts
for the wonderful numbers il which these
flies appear, aud it follows with ressona-
ble certainty that the insect will pass the
winter in the quiescent stage at the bot
tom of manure dropped late in the fall
Che approximate date to be determined
later) The preventive is obviously to
lime the manure in the fall in the places
where the cattle preferably stand in night.
At the present time applications may be
made to mich cows and valuable ami
mas which will keep the flies away. The
applications may be Q) fish oil and pine
tar. with little sulphur added; (2l to-
bacco dust when the skin is not broken /;
(3) tallow and q small amount of carbolic
acid.

The Virginia Democratic State con-
vention, which met in Armory Hall,
In Richmond, at noon, Wednesday of
last week, concluded its business the
following day by the nomination of
Captain P..W. Mckinney, of Prince
Edward, for Governor ; Major j.
Hoge Tyler, of Pulaski. for Lieutenant
Governor; Major R. Taylor Scott, Of
Fauquier, for attorney.general the
selection Of Mr.. Basil D. Gordon, of
Rappahannock, for chairman of the
State central commi ttee and the adQp-
tion of q platform Of principles. The
nomination Of Capt. Mckinney was
effected on the second ballot amidst
scenes of the widest enthusiasm, and
before the vote could be announced
the nomination was proclaimed by
aoclamation. Major Tyler's nomina-
ton for Lieutenant Governor was spon
taneous and without the form Of a
ballot. Major R. Taylor Scott was
nominated for Attorney General on
the first ballot, his principal opponent
peing. Mr.. Henry R. Pollard, Of King
and Queen. The utmost harmony
characterized the deliberations of the
convention.

The most important Office to the people
is that of County Commissioner. The
Board of Commissioners is more import.
ant than the Legislature, for their admin
istration more closely affects the people
They have the building Of bridges, the
maintenance of roads, the care of the
poor. the support Of schools to deal with,
and the levying of taxes and charge OF
the county business in general. These
duties require sound judgment, foresigh.
and practicability. 1t is not every good
citizen who would make q good Commits
sioner not one in ten-scsrcely one in
fifty would make q really a competent
one. In the selection of candidates fr
Commissioners, conventions should not be
hampered by overzealous aspirants. But
rather, the convention should be left to
consult and consider upon fitness of those
whose names may he presented. and be
free to act for the best in'eres's of the
county.

The death Of Representative Laird, oil
Nebraska, who was supposed to have
fully recovered his health, has given q
decided setback to sll the specu alton
about an extra session of Congress. To
make q quorum of the House 1853 votes
are necessary. Representative Laird's
death leaves the republicans with exactly
that number, so that TO organize, unless
the expected republican members from
the new States should be elected in time
to take part in the opening proceedings,
the party would need every one of its men
to be present. This was the case at the
Forty seventh Congress. The republicans,
by mastering every vote, could show but
a bare majority of one. If the democrats
refused to vote and reserted to obstruc-
tive tactics the difficulties in the way of
the republicans can be easily understood
by those familiar with congressional pro-
ceedings. A member is liable to be tax
en- sick, something that happened during
one of the deadlocks in the House dur
ing the Forty-seventh Congress, aud there
are thousand and one things that might
happen to cause the absence of m an.
And yet, to do business under such cir
cumstances, the full party vote must be
maintained constantly. The vacancy in
the Nebraska delegation will doubtless
be filed by the election Of republican,
unless the democrats pursue still hunt
for it and catch the republicans mapping,
the district being for number of years,
overwhelmingly republican. The election
to fill the vacancy may not, however, be
held in time for the new member to attend
an extra session. The members from the
new States may not be here in time. The
many uncertainties in connection with
the matter tend to make it improbable
that there will be an extra session this
year.

Sullivan Sentenced.

John L. Sullivan, who was arrested and
carried to Mississippi for engaging in the
recent prize fight, was sentenced to twelve
months inprisou, and Referee Fitzpatrick
pleaded guilty and was sentenced to pay
q fine of 5000 at Purvis, Miss, Saturday
Before sentence was passed Sullivan ad-
dressed the court. He said: "Your
honor, desire to make few remarks. I
can only ask for your clemency in the
matter. No doubt l have done some
thing wrong, but, as my counsel told you,
I was ignorant OF the law. l am not as
oratorical as the distinguished district
attorney on my right, or my counsel who
have addressed you, and therefore beg
to remark that am your humble servant
John L. Sullivan"
In sentencing Sullivan, Judge Terrell
said: 1t seems to me that this prize
fight at Richburg, of which you stand
convicted, was gross afront to the laws
of the State, where the. authorities per-
oOu0lJ 1OlO O0uC 1Gs IL 6CC"O w nave UccU
accomplished with systematic arrange
mem, and in the presence of invited thou
sands. It seems on the part of all con-
nected. in. it to have been studied dis
regard and contempt for the law. They
came from and through many States,
whose authority and civilization deferred
them from any attempt at such public
lawless conduct within their limits, and
they chose the State of Mississippi as the
only fit ground for such combat. indica-
tlong their utter contempt for the ssnti-
ments Of the people and the lf#sof her
statute books.
1.-THE sentence of the law is that as q
punishment for the offense tor which you
stand convicted you shall suffer impris-
onment tor twelve months i1 the county
Jail"
On appeal of the case to the Supreme
Court Sullivan gave bond for s., ,0U0 for
his appearance and $500 costs. He left
Purvjs Saturday evening for New York.
