THE HORSE: ROT-FIY.

The Reader is particularly re-
quested 10 remember that both
the paper on "rLe Cattle Bot
Fly, in last weeks CAUCASIAN,
and the following one express
not the views of the writer
merely, but they express also
the views Of the! most distin-
guished vetenariaus of this
country and of Europe, and are
the views too held by all horse
men OF enlarged experience in
stock breeding throughout the
wo ld.
The Horse Bot Fly, or Cad
Fly in laying its eggs attaches
them 10 the hair OF the horse,
usually on the forelegs and
breast, SO as 10 te convenient To
the horses mouth. The horse
licks the spot irritated by the
ty and thus gets the eggs into
his mouth. 1t is hatchei by
the heat aud moisture, passes
down the gullet and attaches
self to the coat of the stomach
by two small hooks on the head
and there hangs for several
months, as yet not having the
power TO let go. This is one of
the stages it has to go through
to become a fly. When it has
matured it let's go and soon
passes out with the faces. Ii
the: hides itself in the earth to
undergo another change, and
after six or seven weeks growth
in the pupa con iition emerges
a full fiedged Gad-Fly, capable
Of annoying many horses and
propagating its species indefi-
nitely. The bot sucks liquid
nourishment from the food OF
the horse. and never, as is pop
ularly supposed, ea's the stom-
ach, for the holes found in the
stomach soon after the death of
a healthy animal are really
caused by the action of the gas
trio juices. The only harm bots
can possibly do is to accumu-
late in such large quantities in
the stomach and bowels as to
interfere with digestion and the
free passage Of the faces. In
such cases a purgative (say a
quart of raw liuseed oil az a
drench in the morning on an
empty stomach) may be given
No specific treatment is neces,
sary, simply give a plenty OF
clean, wholesome food. The
bots cannot, while they inhabit
the stomach o the horse, give
the animal any, pain, for they
have fastened on the cuticulal
and insensible coat. They can
not be injurious to the horse
for he enjoys perfect health
when the cuticular part Of hi,
stomach is filled with them
They cannot be removed by
medicine. because they are not
in that part Of the stomach tt
which medicine is usually con
veyed; and if they were, theil
are too deeply buried in tLt
mucus for any medicine tha'
Can be safely administered t.
effect them; and, last of all, il
due course Of time, they vii
detatch themselves and come
away. Therefore the wise maj
will let them alone.

woods or exposed. thereby
causing the disease 10 spread in
this way, but should he buried
so that no animal can get 90
them to spread the disease.
THE AGE TO KILL HOGS.
He remarked about reading
of such heavy hogs in the pa
pers and said while 1t may be
a matter of pride to raise .
few very heavy hogs it is not
done at n profit, as there is a
limit at which animals can be
grown at a profit. After getting
above a certain weight they
grow slower in proportion 10
the food consumed. The best
weight at which to sell pigs to
realize the highest price per
pound ard the most liberal re-
turns for food consumed is
from $50 to 200 pounds live
weight. Pigs will gain more
pounds for the food they con-
sumo up to IS pounds than dur
ing any othey period of their
lives-will yield more pounds
Of pork to the pounds Of food.
From Is to 100 pounds it takes
10 per cent. more food to make
every pound Of pork-that is
100 pounds OF TODD fed to pigs
under or at IS pounds weight
will make as much weight in
pork as ITO pounds of food fed
to pigs weighing from 95 TO 1OC
pounds. From 100 to l5C
pounds live weight, II per cent
more food is required; while up
to 200 pounds live weight, "a
per cent more food is required
to make every pound of p.rk
and from 200 to 800 pounds
live weight, 30 per cen more
food is required. So a man
keeping a hog until it weigh 3OC
pounds is paying almost one
sixth more tn produce every
pound Of pork than it costs be
tween 100 and $50 pounds.
Prof. Chamberlain again
urged the Importance Of silos
The people seem to be afraid tt
try ensilage, but there is nc
trouble at all to make gooC
feed in this way. He thought
a silo could be built to hold AZ
or so tons for not to exceed $40
Only one gentleman, Mr.. VIM
Kennedy, had said he intended
to build a silo; hoped other'
would decide to build them. L
two or three farmers in neigh
borhood would get a cutie.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN ?

The following is from the
commercial Bulletin a Reyubli-
can protection organ published
in Boston, in q recent edition it
says
Men whose hands have held
protectors banners foremost
in the fray are solemnly warned
that their counsel of modera-
ton is tearing the party asunder
and that their influence at
Washington is a thing Of the
past. Is it? Are the lawyers
and politicians Of the House of
Representatives tie servants Oh
the masters Of this republic?
Even the most pessimistic of
writer's on American policies
admits that the people have the
power of revolution, and the
test of. the congressional cleo
tions is not far away. That is
we'll. 1t is a source of genuine
satisfaction to hear the Bulletin
threatening ga revolution" at
the pools, if the men at Wash
ington continue to play the roll
of ''masters" instead Of recogniz.
ing that ther are the servants OF
the people. And it is Ill about

The Farmers and ingalls,.

A Topeka dispatch says: The
continued rapid growth of the
Farmers Alliance in Kansas is
phenomenal. When asked yes
terday if members elected by
the Alliance would support Sen
ator Ingalls, for reelection,
Judge Offer said:
"That depends entirely upon
the position taken by Mr.. In
gals. The Alliance will not
support any man who does not
support any man who does not
agree with it. sometime since

Prof. Chamberlain told of in
stances where 20 to &c per cent.
more corn was made from same
quantity Of manure put on lands
in winter than when put oT just
before planting. Manure should
be put on the land during the
winter and allowed to assimi-
late with the soil. However
this does not apply to CONNER
cial fertilizers which are more
of a stimulant than anything
else.
GRASSES.

sowing clover in connection with
raising stock.

ILOS-ENSILAGE.
1t was announced that Prof
Chamberlain would speak about
ensilage and silos.
The speaker said the question
of silos-ensilage-is closely re
lated to the manure question
Ensilage, by enabling to keep
more stock, makes more manure
Is tons of coru-the blades, stalk
and all-can be made per acre
and put in the clio at cost OF
60 cents per ton. After allow
ing loss from decay we have 81.
600 pounds of food from one
acre-enough to feed ten cows
two months. For COWS it is bet
ter food than anything except
grass. One objection to this
great food is that it will turn
sour with a few days exposure
but then so will beef 70 in a
few days, yet we do not desisI
from eating beef On that account
The speaker dwelt on the excel
lence and cheapness of ensilage
as a food for stock.
ROTATION OF CROPS.
Rev. J. T. Grubhs asked about
cotton culture. Prof. Chamber
lain said it is necessary to shade
land, and this is the reason rails
ing cotton on the same land veal
after after impoverishes it. The
reason clover and peas sowI
broadcast enriches land so is be
cause of shading the land a:
we'll as filling it With vegetable
matter.
Mr.. Harvey asked about SOW
ing peas and following with cot
ton. Mr.. Kennedy had sow1
peas after oats and follow e(
peas with cotton and made twice
as much cotton as usual.
1t was sta ted that even if pea
vines are cut off the land if lef
in much better condition thai
if pease had not been sown.
1t was recommended that pea
vines be plowed under after tn
vines had dried and fallen down
The great mass Of green pei
vines put acids in the soil tina
sometimes are detrimental, bu
this is to a large extent obvia
fee by putting on lime. 1t il
better to cut and cure pea vine
and feed to cattle than to leav'
on the land, as the feed is re
turned to the land in the shap
of manure from the cattle.
1t was stated that Col. Hol
made over 45 bushels OF whea

any fertilizers, but that he onl
sows on clover sod land.

GLADE ADDITION.
n beautiful and Convenient Location
for Buildings


No city in the South has grown with
greater rapidity than has Roanoke,
and probably not one is on tirmer
foundation considering its age.
Roanoke swells and grows each day,
and unlike most cities, does not grow in
any one direction more than an other.
but is being rapidly built up on every
side, north, east, south and west.
The influx of population since 1884
has been enormous, and hundreds OF
buildings have gone up to supply the
demand. There has boen no lull il
the erection of houses this winter, ex-
cept that occasioned by the rain, anG
drive in what direction, you will hear
the sound of the hammer and evil
dences of building meet your eye.
Hundreds who rented houses a few
years ago pay taxes now, owning
their dwellings, and the erection of res
licences is the best index to the growth
of the city and the strongest assur
ance that the city is here to stay.
The homes that have been built
here within the past year are, many
of them, as handsome, artistic and
expensive as can be found anywhere.
To accommodate the ever increasing
population, numerous additions have
been laid off and the lots placed on
the market. Among the many valu-
able properties hereabouts, none Of
fer greater inducements az place Of
residence than the Glade addition.
This property is situated just east
of Glade creek and is traversed by the
Vinton extension of the Roanoke
street railway, which places it in di-
rect communication with the central
portion of the city, person can live
in that section, and if his place of
business is in the upper part
of the city, or even in the
West End, he can take the street car
and be ready for the days work at
the usual time. Every benefit of a
suburban residence is obtained, with
out any of it's discomforts.
The property is well drained and
therefore healthy. 1t has been di-
vided into lots by the laying off Of
wide streets and avenues. The view
to be obtained from Glade addition is
beautiful. On the east, towering
hundreds of feet in the air, are the
Blue Ridge mountains. while on the
south the Roanoke river winds itself
like silver thread among the hills,
forming one of the most beautiful
bits of scenery anywhere in Southwest
Virginia. One of the principal feat
ures about the Glade property is the
easy terms upon which the lots can be
gotten. The prices have been placed
so low that it is within the power of
every man to own his home. Messrs.
William M. Yager s. Co., are the
agents for the company and they will
take pleasure in giving any informa-
ton concerning the property. Call
on them at their Office on South JEFF
ferson street.

EAST END ADDITION.
DesIrsoI!!ty of aud Demands for l. OF.
There.

As the summer advances much 40
tivity in building operations is
noticed, and many new houses are in
process Of construction. This natur-
ally makes the real estate marker
much tirmer, and agents are CORES
pondingly happy. Simmons Il CO.
have been doing q rushing business,
one Of the best since the firm was ee-
tablished. The East End property
is changing hands very rapidly, and
many new houses will be erected this
season.
Among the prominent additions in
the East End, is that of the Oak
Ridge Land Company. The addition
lies just east of Belmont and south OF
the East Side Land Company's prop
erty and adjoins the farms of Messrs.
George Taylor and g. w. Carr.
This offers every inducement as Il
place of residence. 1t is removed
from the business portion of the city
and therefore gives Il quiet, suburban
home, while at the same time it ii
near the dummy line and therefore
quite convenient to the city.
The land is high and dry and has
just enough slope to give it good
drainage. Gas and water mains are
being put in and new streets are be-
ing laid out. Everything is propi
tious, and it is destined to take its
proper place in the front rank. 1t is
located near the furnace, rolling mill
bridge works and the machine works,
and offers, therefore, greater induce
ments to the workingman, as it is
near his work. A number of neat
cottages are going up and others have
been contracted for.
James S. Simmons s. Co. are agents
for the company, and they can give
good bargains. The property is 60
ing rapidly, and if you want to obtain
good bargain call on them at once.
The prices for the lots are low and
the terms easy, so every man can own
his own home
