ABOUT THE HORN FLY.
Which Have Been Know
to DESTROY the Pest.

Applications Which Have Been known
to Destroy the Pest.
The treatment for the horn fly is
mostly preventive in its nature, and
consists of The application to the cattle
of Odorous substances which will keep
the flies from the animals. For this
purpose great many substances have
been recommended, but most of them
have proved of but little value The
following, however, have given the
most satisfactory results at our hands.
First. ''Gnat-oil," made as follows:
Crude carbolic acid, one ounce; penny
royal, one-half to one ounce; sulphur.
one fourth of a pound; crude cotton
seed oil, one gallon. Mix well, and
apply with brush or cloth to the back
and shoulders of the cattle. The crude
cotton-seed oil is cheaper than the
other oils, although fsh-oil and lard
oil are equally as good in making the
above.
Second. Fish-oil and tar mixed and
applied as above is equally effective
The tar is mixed with the fish-oil so
chat the odor may last longer and thus
keep the flies away from the animals a
greater length of time. Either of the
above will keep the flies away from the
animals for several days, after which
the application should be repeated.
Third. The flies breed in fresh man
ure. 1t is thus important that the
barn-yards be kept as clean and free
from manure as possible. Lime placed
upon the manure will kill the Larvae

ouShly trained for the requirements Of
police life. On such occasions the ex-
hibition OF rough riding skill is sight
which. If once seen. is never forgotten.
The average wild west exhibition of
rough riding is something which, COM
pared with the genuine and voluntary
''buclling" of these unbrolen bronehos,
assumes tameness and docility that
is very marked indeed. The horses
themselves are the finest animals to
be procured IN the territories, and the
amount of hard work which they are
capable of performing is often truly
phenomenal. The average daily patrol
of mounted policeman is seldom less
than thirty miles, and often consider
ably exceeds this, and there are few
men in the ranks who are not capable
of riding their fifty miles day, if
need be, several times a week. The
object of this extensive system of
patrol is to maintain order among the
Indians, suppress illegal liquor traffic
and guard the interests of the settlers
throughout the territories.
In the early days of the police these
''riders of the plains" used often to
meet with adventures of u pretty in
teresting nature, but patrols at the
present day are not often interrupted
by very serious obstacles. Whisky
smugglers are the chief offenders, but
these seldom offer much resistance
when detected. Horse thieves still ply
their trade to a greater or less extent,
and when caught red-handed are
dangerous class to deal with, for the
offense generally means from ten to
fifteen years Imprisonment. Since the
organization of this corps many thou
sand head of stolen horses have been
recovered; broodS of from fifty to one
hundred driven across the Montana
frontier being not an uncommon find
but few years ago.
The ranks of the Northwest mount
ed police are composed of an unusually
fine set of young men. The life is one
which develops their physical nature
to the highest state of perfection, and
as the service continually requires the
exercise of tact, Judgment and cndur.
ance in no small degree the enlistment
of men is most carefully supervised.
In fact, it is a service for which the
requiem ents are so exacting in many
respects that many men are constantly
presenting themselves for enlistment
only to suffer disappointment on some
score. the cause of which is perhaps
physical or mental defect, the posses
sion of which is "a surprise to them

ing features in connection with the
country. Illimitablc territories of al
most unboundcd resources yet await
settlement and the energy which will
develop the wealth and natural fcrtili-
ty of the prairie soil. But the influx of
population is slow, and the life of the
settler or ''SquattCr" is yet of some
what precariouS nature in many sec
tions of the country. The completion
of the Canadian Pacific railway across
the continent has done much to at
tract immigration, opening up tracts
of country hitherto practically I'M
known. and the security of settlers
and property is now carefully and sys-
tenatically guarded throughout the
territories by the unerring vigilance of
the Northwest mounted police, than
which there is probably not Il better
trained band of prairie men in the
world to-day. Their trails cover the
territories from end TO end, and there
are but few, if any, settlers who have
not at some time or other experienced
the value of their assistance in times
of trouble and emergency. Never were
Indians under n more perfect state of
control than those in the Canadian ter
ritories az the present day, both on the
reserves and OF. and the life of the
horscthicf and whisky smuggler is one
in which the element of success now
rarely crowns Illegal efforts.
The strength of the Northwest
mounted police is n thousand men.
:. 4 IL -,
sions. each Of which has from ten to
fifteen outposts, al each of which are
stationed five or six men, whose duty
it is to patrol the rrairics on horseback
each day for so or 40 miles in various
directions, meeting patrols from other
outpostS at given points, and SO daily
forming vast chain over the great
prairies of hundreds of miles in extent.
The horses used by the police are of
the brOncho breed. and the saddles of
the California pattern. The dress of
mounted policeman on prairie duty
consists of top boots and jack spurs,
riding brooches. canvas jacket and
sombrero hat. Each man is armed
with carbine and revolver, the am
munition for which is carried in a cart
ridge belt worn about the waist or over
the shoulders.
The recruiting station of the police
is situated at Regina, and here each
man goes through n training of from
six to eight months before he is consid-
cred sufficiently ripe in knowledge of
craftsmanship and prairie life to under
take the regular duties of full fledged

in store for the recruit. For man
whose ability at riding is limited his
training in this respect is probably
more severe than in anything else. He
is first taught to ride on stripped"
saddle-the fiat universal saddle with
out stirrups-and without the use OF
spurs. The next stage in his progress
is reached when he IS transferred to the
California saddle, still without STIR
rups. and finally with stirrups. spurs,
arms. ct. al. The recruiting process
being done with he is transferred to
one OF the other six divisions. where
his peculiar merit is carefully gagged
by those in command, and his duties
assigned accordingly. The man may
be one well adapted for rough prairie
work. or perhaps more suitable for bar
rack duty. or duty in some of the
towns or settlements scattered over
the prairics. or train duty, or some OF
the other numerous phases which the
life of these men embraces, and he is de-
tailed accordingly.
The training at Regina is most thor
ough in every detail, and future hard
ships are well discounted in the course
of instruction which is here impaired
before a man is transferred for duty
elsewhere.
In Workmanship the average North
west mounted policeman is probably
as expert as any to be found in the
world, the style being the military
pound. AMI the ranks number rough
riders whose skill is indispensable.
Regina is the recruiting post for horses
as well as men, and here each spring
broods of bronchos are for the first
time broken to the saddle and thor.

selves. The ranks number a great
many Englishmen, who as rule make
the best riders and all-round men.
They arc generally young men OF
superior education and good family
connection at home, who have done
some act of folly or led n life of gener-
al uselessness which caused their BAN
ishment to western Canada, country
affording every scope for their wild
propensities.
The ranks have contained in fact no
less parsonage than a real live lord.
and from that high estate to the very
lowest there are specimens of nearly
all. Every known profession under
the sun is more or less represented,
barring of course the church. These
young Englishmen of high family are
numerous, and from such lofty heights
of social eminence the ranks descend
to men of the lowest type. Men con-
tinue to drop from their pedestals of
earthly standing from day to day, and
in many cases it is such far-off places
and pursuits as this that are steered
for in their pcrplexity. The discipline
of the force is no respecter of persons
in this sense, however, and all are
treated alike.
The pay of a mounted policeman is
so cents per diem for the first year, and
cents additional, as good conduct
pay, for each additional year; the .erm
of service being five years, with the
option of purchasing a discharge for
sum equal to So per month for every
unexpired month of your term. Me
chanics, tradesmen and clerks receive
25 cents a day extra while on duty as
such. CHARLES p. DWIGHT.

Advantages of PekIn Ducks.

The Pekin duck is entirely white,
which gives the feathers a greater

will pay the cost of killing and dress

that thrives well where there are no

each week until they are ten weeks old.
We have known them to gain pound
in week when over eight weeks old,
but it is considered good weight to
have them weigh five pounds when ten
weeks old, and they frequently attain
