WASHINGTON CIrY. April 1a-[Special +
The week ending April II has been cooler
than usual, except in the South Atlantic
states and in the vicinity Of the lower
lakes, where slight excess in temperature
Was reported. TIE departure from the
normal temperature was very slight in tho
Southern states, but it was decidedly
cold in the Northwest, the average daily
temperature in tho spring wheat region
being about 10 degrees below tho normal.
the Rocky mountains and the Pacific coast
states, the most marked deficiency in tenn.
perature on tho Coast being reported from
Oregon and Washington.
Light frosts occurred in the Middle At
lantic states and the interior of the South
Atlantic and East Gulf states on tho 18th
and 18th, which probably caused no seri.
Gus injury to fruit, but the cold was more
severe in the states Of the Ohio and
central Mississippi valleys, and some
slight damage must have resulted from
the freezing temperatures on the 18th.
Tho temperature fell to zero in the
northern portion of the spring-wheat re-
gion on the 18th, snow remains on the
ground In Northwestern Minnesota, and
the week has been wet and cold, inter-
fering with farm work. The high winds
and severe local storms throughout the
central valleys. including the greater por-
ton of the winter wheat belt, caused some
damage
More than the usual amount Of rain 90
CURED throughout the states Of the Missis-
sippi and Ohio valleys, lake regions and
the interior of New ENGLAND and the mid
die Atlantic states. Excessive rains oc-
Cured in Tennessee, Kentucky, Southern
Indiana, Southern Illinois and the north
ern portion Of the East Gulf states. The
greater portion of the wheat belt, which
was deficient of moisture at last report. re-
ceiyed during the week from one to two
inches more than the usual amount of
rainfall, and although some damage is re-
ported from floods in Tennessee the In
creased moisture Is likely to prove favora-
Bile in this region. The spring-wheat
region also received about one inch more
than the normal rainfall, but in this sec
ton the moisture was already in excess.
The week was dry throughout the South
Atlantic states and generally on tho Pa
cific coast, only light showers occurring
in Northern California and Oregon. while
. slight excess 10 reported from the north
ern portion of Washington.
Generally the week was cold and not
favorable for farm work throughout the
principal agricultural states, except in
the east portion Of the cotton region,
where the weather was generally favorable
for farm work, but where rain IL needed.

third as large. 1t obtains its popular name
from Its habit Of alighting around the horn
to rest when not biting. as being place
where the animal cannot easily reach to
brush it OF. but it does no damage to the
horn. It shows the same instinct in Sc
lecting it's places for biting, usually attack
ing the back, TANKS. underside of the belly
and the neck or head. 1t works it's way
beneath the hair and gorges itself with
blood as soon as 1t can enter its dagger
shaped proboscis. These bites are very
irritating and as they usually appear in
great numbers cattle are made nearly
frantic by them, and also are liable to
make themselves sore by rubbing the bit
ten parts against trees.
To prevent the biting smear the cattle
with some cheap oil, such as train oil, fish
oil, tallow or axle grease. If to q half gal
Ion of this is added about a tablespoonful
OF either carbolic acid or oil Of tar, it will
keep the flies away and also reduce the
irritation or bites already made and be
healing to the sores if there are any.
Kerosene emulsion also las been used with
good success when diluted with nine times
its bulk Of water and used in spraying the
cattle, but We prefer tine other prescrip-
ton, as it will not need to be renewed as
soon.
The fly deposits its eggs in the freshly
dropped dung, where the maggot is
Matched out, and on which it feeds until
ready to pupate. It usually brings out
several broods In a season, the last brood
remaining in the pupa form until spring.
To destroy them throw a shovelful of lime
or Of wood ashes upon the fresh droppings
every day both in the yard and pasture.
This will serve also the purpose of making
more and richer fertilizer, and thus par
TALLY repay ITS cost. Another way would
be to have all the droppings in the pasture
spread with hoe or rake twice a week,
