That Texas Fly.

The Texas fly, otherwise known as
Buffalo Fly" ''Stockyard Fly" "Bnf-
falo Gnat," and ''Horn Fly" the latter
of which is perhaps the more appropri-
ate, as it is known by that name In
Europe, where it comes from.
1t first made its appearance in this
country, near Philadelphia, in 1887 1t
is believed to have been imported with
the large shipments of European cattle
in 1886. From Philadelphia, it spread in
all directions, most rapidly south, and
has made its appearance in Connecticut,
this year, for the first time, In large num-
bers and is now in all parts of the State.
The erroneous belief that it eats holes
in the cattle's horns has gained ground
here, as in every other State into which
the fly has migrated. A careful exami-
nation will show that the supposed holes
in the horns are only ''fy specks' and
that the flies simply gather about the
horns for convenient resting place,
where they can remain undisturbed by
the switching of the tail or the swinging
of the head.
1t is blood sucker and, existing in
large numbers, it worries the animals so
that they cannot feed quietly, hence the
decrease of milk, in herds where it ex-
lists.
The best known remedy is fish oil, APP
piled about the base of the horns and
sponged over the hair where the flies
eongregate. The eggs are laid in the
fresh droppings, where the larvB devel-
OPP, requiring 10 to l5 days to arrive at
the adult stage. Hence, If these are
spread out over the grass so that they
will dry, or gathered up in the cow yard
and cast into a vat with water, much can
be accomplished to decrease the numbers
of the little pest. The sensational news
paper stories about the flies boring into
the horns or laying their eggs upon them
so that the young bore into them and
even into the brain of the animal, caus-
ing the horns to drop off, the death of
the. animal, ETC., ETC., are entirely with
out foundation in fact.-[B. F. Rooms in

We are treating cholera patients now
with the salt and water remedy discover
ed by the Italian physician DIR Catani,
known as hypodermoclysis. We inject a
weak solution of salt and water, about
one part of salt to 1000 of water, warmed
up to the temperature of the human body.
AS fast as the fluid matter of the blood
leaves the patient, we renew it by inject
ing this solution under the skin. We use
enormous quantities of it, sometimes Civ
ing the patient twenty to thirty litres a
day. This keeps the blood going. Then,
to check the diarrhma, injections of So
luton of tannin are put into the stomach.
We use about two or three quarts day
for each patient. 1t not only checks the
diarrhea, but also produces coma in the
bacteria and kills them.-[Dr Byron.

The tops of potatoes after the crop is
dug contain much plant food and, as they
are mostly rotted down to dust in Fall
and Winter, this plant food is easily
available. They should not be taken to
the barn yard and composted with ma-
nure, as was once advised. They rot
readily enough without composing and
mixing with manure only preserves the
spores of the disease, which may other
wise be carried over for the injury of
succeeding potato crops. Probably the
best use that can be made of potato tops
is to save them free from weeds and use
as mulch for strawberry beds. Here they
rot, cover the land lightly while it needs
covering, and do not have to be raked
out of the way in Spring, as straw often
does when it has been used as Winter
mulch Cultivator.

There is no pain connected with Asiat-
ic cholera. That is a popular failacy.
This is one of the things which distin-
guish cholera Asiatica from cholera NOR
bus. In the latter, the pain comes at
once. In true cholera, the patient be-
comes apathetic and suffers hardly any
pain. 1t is really an easy death to die.
Cholera patients die from asphyxiation.
The terrible vomiting and discharges thin
the blood so greatly that what material
is left in the blood eoagulates and refus-
es to circulate. This produces an excess
of carbonic acid gas in the system which
causes asphyxiation. This same carbon
ic acid gas is what numbs the pain in a
manner and renders the patients to
large extent insensible to pain. The on
ly pain during the progress of the disease
consists in cramps in the calves of the
legs, which are due to reflex action. The
cramps in the bowels do not begin till the
end, when death approaches.-[Dr By

Their reputation is so well established
that it is not necessary to say much
about it, only to remind our readers to
keep watch of the weekly bulletin which
is found in another column.
The lax sentiment of the community is
largely responsible for the frequency
with which the laws are broken and for
the too common miscarriages of justice
in the courts. With public sentiment
