The Horn Fly.

Last summer new pest was re
ported in cattle in New Jersey, Del
aware, Maryland and northern Nir
ginia. The pest has again made Its
appearance this summer. 1t is q
small fly half the size of house fly
which settles in great numbers
around the base of the horn where
1t cannot be reached by either tail OF
head. 1t sucks moderate amount
of blood, reduces the condition OF
the cattle, and lessons the yield OF
milk by from one-third to one-half
This new pest has been investigated
by the department of agriculture
through the Acting Entomologist l.
O. Howard, who has succeeded il
tracing the entire life history of the
pest. He finds that the fly lays its eggs
usually at night in freshly-dropped
COW dung, and that for the develop
ment from the egg through the mag
got stage to the perfact fly again q
space of only II days is necessary
He says this rapidity of reproduction
accounts for the wonderful number,
in which these flies appear, and il
follows with reasonable certainty
that the insect will pass the winter
in the quiescent stage at the bottom
of dung dropped late in the fall (thC
approximate date to be determined
later. The preventative is OBJ
viously to lime the dung in the fal
in places where the cattle preferably
stand at night.
AT the present time applications
may be made to mich cows ano
valuable animals which will keep
the flies away. The application
may be 81 fish oil and pine tar, will
a little sulphur added; (2) tobacco
dust, when the skin is not broken
(3) tallow and a small amount o.
carbolic acid.

THE SEASON s CROPS.

For the Michigan crop for August
returns have been received from 500
correspondents, representing go
townships. OF these returns GA are
from All townships in the southern
four tiers of counties, and l47 are
from 1872 townships in the central
counties. The average yield of
wheat per acre as estimated is in the
southern counties 1881 bushels; in
the central counties 1910 bushels,
and in the northern counties 14.32
bushels. These figures represent the
average of the estimates of all the
correspondents reporting from each
section, and are mainly based on ex-
aminations made when harves ting
and threshing.
In addition to the above, 2S2 cor
respondents in the southern counties
and Is in the central have furnished
reports of actual dressings. The
number of jobs reported threshed in
the southern counties is 500; acres,
l5,l77; bushels, 259, 800; an average
of II bushels per acre.
The number of jobs reported in the
central counties A; acres, 449 bush
els, 1892, an average of l6 bushels
per acre.
However, the report of actual
threshings represents only limited
number of jobs and a limited area
too limited to warrant definite con
clusion, while correspondents have
reported what they believed to be a
fair average for the whole of then
respective localities and have doubt
less taken into account the shrunker
and damaged condition of the grain.
The crops this year will grade low
the reports indicating very clearly
that the output of merchandise
wheat will be much below the
threshers' measure.
Oats are estimated to yield 80
bushels per acre in the southern
counties, 81 in the central and 30 il
the northern. The crop has mad,
great growth of straw ahd has lodge,
badly.

Young Cabell Christian Behind the

Last night about 8 o'clock as Chief
of Police Morris walked into the pool
room, in the rear of 7. B. Coleman's
saloon, he was accosted by q well
dressed stranger, apparently about
90 years old, with a cordial greeting
of "howd'ye do, captain The chief
grasped the proffered hand OF the
stranger with an earncstness and cor
dialty which caused spasm of pain
to fit across the latter's face, and as
Mr.. Morris frightened his hold on the
young mans digits he remarked, Il
am glad to see you, Mr.. Christian,

Want me.n exclaimed the stranger

IF you will step outside to the

chief, as he turned towards the door,

hand.
As soon as they reached the side
walk the officer informed the stranger
that he had received a telegram from
Chief of Police Irwin, OF Lyn"hburg,
ordering him to arrest Cabell Chris.

search him for a watch and money,
But how do you know | am the
MANI asked the stranger.
You virtually admitted your name

with you,n said Mr.. Morris, land,
besides, am certain have met you
before in Lvnchburg."
In spite of his protestations, the
chief then proceeded TO search him In
the most thorough manner and was
rewarded for his pains with finding
an old fashioned hunting case gold
watch and So 10 in money upon his
person. Having satisfied himself that
this was all there was of value in his
possession, he escorted the prisoner to
the CITY Jail for safe keeping and tel
ecraphed to Chief Irwin that his man
had been captured.
The telegram from LynchburS was
received by Chief Morris about l
O'Clock Yesterday afternoon, and he
at once proceeded to institute care
full search for the man wanted. In
the course of his inquiries he learned
that the stranger had been seen early
Yesterday morning with considerable
money in his possession, among the
roll of greenbacks exhibited by him
being at least five $50 bills. He also,
in course of the day, provided him
self with a complete outfit OF clothing
from head to foot, includingalso fine
new overcoat.
Chief Morris lis confident that he
has captured the right man, and when
all the facts in connection with the
case are considered, there is but little
doubt that Cabell Christian is now u
prisoner in the Roanoke city jail,
awaiting the action of the Lynchburg
authorities.

A pe.eryed compliment.

Captain John Gray, delegate from
Loudon county to the state grand
lodge of Good Templars, which has
just closed a very interesting and
profitable session Of four days in this
city, received while here a special
invitation to deliver an address on
temperance, in the course Of the next
six weeks, in the state of Ohio. The
captain is an able and faithful worker
in the cause of temperance and his
influence in the order is not surpassed
by any. His address at the Presby-
terian church last Thursday night
was justly complimented as being
among the best delivered during the
session. He left last night for his
home in Loudon, to the regret of the
many warm friends he has made
during his short stay in this city.

The amount neededto carry on this
work is $1,000. Of this amount about

mittee hopes that some method may
be devised to secure the rest. This work
