The Horn FLY.

tine of the newest of the many annoying
nsects introduced int" Maine within ths
past few wears, is the horn-hy OF the West,
/ which hu. b..enme an unwelcoule ami per
| si,tent inhahitant of many sections. ln
oxford county it is present in large num-
beers. and AT the Eastern State Far. Mr.
I Ellis Of the firm of Howard & Ellis the
we'll known Shorth0rn breeders of Fairfield,
informed the Jorg>AL that it has come INTO
! that section ia large numbers and is very
! troublesome To cattle.
| The popular name of 'horn-fiy,' says IA
writer in the New England Farmer, was
| given il, not because the fly has horns,
but from it, habit Of clustering in masses
when at rest. on the base of the animals
horns. like swarm of bees on the limb of
a tree.
II not only irritates the cattle by tick
ling them but burrows down through the
hair and sucks the blood. 1t was some
time before the entomologist could find
out when and where it, eggs were laid,
but at last ii was found that they were laid
on the fresh dung Immediately on its being
dropped by the animal, mostly during the
warmer hours between nine and four, The
eggs hatch in about twcnty-f0ur hours, and
the maggots attain their full growth and
change to flies in about two weeks, thus
giving ample time for seven or eight gener
atiuns during the summer months.
For remedies to apply 10 the cattle it is
said almost any greasy substance will KEEP
the flies away for several days, and if a
small quantity of carbolic acid is added II
" i'll be still better. Common axle grease,
tallow and train oil or fish oil have all been
used with good results, the last prov
ing the most effective and lasting. Try
ing to kill the flies after they are Matched
will probably be about like trying to con
troll the potato bugs by Manipulating
Although | have killed hundreds on my
calves that were hatchel out, it does not
seem to decrease the number any. Prob
ably the surest way is to fight them in the
egg and maggot stage. Entomologi-t'
recommend covering the fresh dung with
lime or plaster to destroy the eggs. but this
will he of but it'll" avail If one
neigbbors h0 not fight them too. ! believe
that for the New England dairyman a bet
ter way would be to keep his milk-cows in
the barn and soil them, turning them out
for few hours early in the morning and al
night for exercise, and for the cattle away
at pasture IA weekly or semi-weekiy appli
| cation of grease would probably protect
! them.
| Poultry where they run in the pasture
will destroy the maggets in the dung, and
crows and many others of our native birds
will also help to destroy them. If protected
| from being killed by their enemies.

the WONDERFUL NEW SULkY.
The Splendid Machines Turned Out Tor the
Drivers OF Trotters.

The pneumatie-tired sulky is by long odds
the most interesting feature of recent trot-
ting races. shaving down the records as ii
does, and heralding the advent of some
brand new ideas in driving gear. The rea-
sons for its superiority over the old style of
-ulky are not far To seek.
The tire is but one item in the new de-
sign. potent as it is in the general improve
ment The ball bearings in the axle are,
perhaps the most important feature in re
dueing friction, rs against the better trac-
ton afforded by the tire The problems
presented by the bicycle sulky are only just
beginning to be understood, the whole thing
coming on the designers with something of
the suddenness of revelation.
It is perhaps needless to say that nothing
but the best of workmanship will do in such
a slight vehicle rs pneumatic tired sulky.
Many of the rigs in use have been gotten
up in hurry, with wooded rims, and with
wheels built on ideas derived from the use
of bicycles which makeshifts have inyari-
ably proved unsatisfactory.
The latest device has for its promoters
two such experienced builders as Joseph F.

The Way 10 Vote.



How to vote right, in this State, is now
the all engrossing twin theme with who 10
vote for The simplest and most satisfac-
tory scheme is To vote the straight Republic
can ticket, first and always. by going
into booth and marking an y Mt
the right of the word "REPl Bill
CAN" Mt the head of the ticket. This
votes every Republican name on the list,
Democrats or third party men who desire to
vote one or more names on the Republican
list can do so by marking y opposite the
name or names they wish to vote, emitting
to mark the head of their o~ n party tickets.
aud marking those names on them only
which they wish 10 vote.
As a matter of course there will be some
blunders made, in spite of the painstakng
Efforts to give voters proper instructions
how to vote right. Que question that has
arisen il "a to how. under the new ballot
law. a ballot should be counted where u
voter puts his mark opposite the party
name and then votes for one or more can

The stringent quarantine regulations
which have been adopted by the United
States government to prevent the spread Of
cholera to our shores, are highly commend
able, and will II Is hoped, save the country
from this terrible seourye. At the same
time il is important that our citizens should
supplement this action by the adoption OF
wise sanitary measures in their various
municipalities. They should also inform
themselves of the nature of ths disease and
the best way To avoid il. There has been
a popular impression that good frost was
an absolute safeguard sSains, this disease
and that the approach of winter in Maine
would insure immunity TO its people. This
idea is erroneous. While il Is true thai
frosts are not favorable TO the development
of cholera the disease has been known
To survive even the severe frosts
of northern winter. Indeed
scientific investigation of the bacillus
of cholera shows tina, il is more sensitive t.
heat than to cold. II is readily killed in
water many degrees below the boiling point
In its con,sgiou ii resembles typhoid fever
II does not travel to any great extent in the
atmosphere. The chief manner of spread
ing. like that of typhoid fever, lie in ths
water supply. In this connection the fol
