ABOUT THE HORN FLY.

Applications Which Have Been Known
to Destroy tho Pest.
The treatment for the horn fly il
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 a great many substances have
been recommended, but most of them
have proved of but little value. The
following, however, have given tho
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 a brush or cloth to the back
and shoulders of the cattle. The crude
cotton-seed oil is cheaper than the
other oils, altho ugh fsh-oil aud 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
that 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 larvse.-

AROUND THE FARM.

EIGHTEEN syndicate s, mostly in Eng
land and other foreign countries, each
own tracts of lands consisting of sew
enty-two thousand acres in the United
States.
DURING this dry weather guards
plowed around stacks, buildings and
along fences NAV save much loss from
fire; two or three burrows are usually
sufficient.
IT is said that one fourth of the total
nun Der of farmers in the United States
own their own farms and one-half of
this number are mortgaged to their
full value.
The bot fly will deposit a large num-
Der of eggs on horses which are running
on pastures at this season. If the nits
are scraped off the hair with a knife
less number reach the @tomach of the
horse.
SAVE the straw by placing it in good
stacks and covering with slough or
prairie hay to keep the rain from wet

feed, it will come in good place as bed
