KILLING HORN FLIES.


Methods of Treatment Tested at
various Experiment stations.
The following bulletin on this subject
is issued by the Purdue university agri-
cultural experiment station:
At this season of the year cattle are
suffering from the persistent biting Of
the horn fly. This fly, which is smaller
than the house fly, congregates In
colonies about the base of the horns,
along up the back and sides, at ten
der points about the tanks and udder,
and on the belly. This fly sucks blood
from cattle. and SO initiates them as
no doubt to retard the laying on of
flesh with beef cattle, and the produc-
ton of milk by milch cows.
Many substances have been recon-
mended to keep away the flies. The
Mississippi experiment station recon-
mends two parts cottonseed oil or fish
oil and one part pine tar. This station
applied this mixture to $50 head. ut
total cost for material of $52.20. Kero-
sene emulsion has also been used, spray
ing 1t over the cattle with knapsack
sprayer. The flies are killed by the
emulsion If it touches them. The emul-
sion may be made by mixing at the rate
of one pint of soft soap Tor one-fourth
pound of hard soap dissolved in boil
ing water) and one pint of kerosene
In Is pints of water, thoroughly whipped
and churned together.
At the Indiana experiment station,
we have tried different substances to
keep away the flies. None of these were
effective over two or three days. We
have secured satisfactory results by
using quart of fish oil, in which was
mixed about two tablespoonfuls of
crude carbolic acid. Fish oil is so cents
per gallon in Lafayette. These liquids
are applied on the body with a fiat
paint brush about four inches wide.
Fish oil is especially disagreeable to
flies. and is probably largely used in
the special preparations sold at high
prices. There is one objection to using
any form of tar, in that it makes the
hair sticky, which accumulates dirt, and
SO gives it bad appearance.
Stoclkmen would do well to break up
the manure in the pasture whenever
possible, as the flies deposit their eggs
in it. from which the young are devel-
oped. If the manure is gathered up
or broken to pieces within day or SO.
and if remedies to keep off the flies are
applied to the cattle, the insects will
disappear only in the season.

The Only Woman Lecturer at the
German Universities.
While the battle for the social and
political position of woman Is still rag
ing and remains undecided theoretical
ly, women have practically approached
their goal during the last decade in sew
eral points, particularly by invading
the field of science, which formerly was
looked upon as a privilege of man only,
says an exchange. The number of fe-
male students at the universities of Ger
many as well as elsewhere is steadily
increasing. Women in the study of lit
erary and medical branches are numer-
GUS, but the natural sciences. mathemat-
les and astronomy were not looked
upon with favor by the weaker sex.
The first woman in Germany to devote
herself to natural sciences is Countess
Maria Won Linden. Born July Is, 1869,
she received an excellent education at
Stuttgart. and graduating from the
high school In 1891 she entered the Tu-
binge1 university, where she devoted
herself to the study of natural sciences,
graduating with the highest honors in
the fall of 1895. She was then promoted
to the degree of doctor Terum naturali-
bus and was the pioneer of her sex in
this branch. She is now teaching zo-
ology in the University OF Halle with
much success, and is the only woman al
lowed to lecture at any German tini-
versify.

it was once familiar, it is now not so
often seen. Then came the sign: "Your
shoes repaired while you wait" The
first of these signs, says the New York
Sun, appeared in the Bowery. Two ex-

shoemaker's shop, working busily.
More men at work were seen inside.
There were comfortable chairs for wait

them to read. The shop filed long

number of places in the city where
shoes are mended while you wait. On
the signs of some of them a schedule

In some tailor shops nowadays
clothes are pressed while you wait. and
there are dentists offices in which you
may have your artificial teeth repaired

In summer there are to be found now
adays establishments where they clean

vacant store on busy street.
In some of these places one may see

different stages, three hats in hand at

The modern "while you wait" signs
show enterprise that is all the time on
the lookout for new ways of making
money. and they show also the modern
tendency to do things and get them out
of the way.

Forcine P1ants With Ether.

Attention is being attracted to the
use of ether and chloroform vapors as
forcing agents. 1t has been shown by a
number of investigators that the vapor
of chloroform or ether has marked ef-
feet upon the respiration of Il plant, in
creasing it in some cases to marked
degree, as explained by Professor Gal
loway. Increasing the respiration sim
ply means that the plant is being made
to do more work than normal. He says:
ut must be remembered, however, that
in doing this the plant is living beyond
Its means, and sooner or later there
must be reckoning which may prove
disastrous. The plant responds to the
ether treatment just as it would to any
other irritating influence, and the effect
in the end must be the same as when an
extra stimulus is overwhelmingly, in
creased energy for the time, followed by
collapse and death if the matter is car
ried far enough. In cases of bulbs and
woody plants, where there is more or
less stored energy in the form of food
material, etherizing might work to ad-
vantage In starting growth. This seems
to have been the line of work carried
on by the Danish investigator. From
the report of Consul Kirk, however, the
conclusions have not been very definite. y

1t appears from an account of his OBJ
servations by Capt. Sidney Hinde in the
Congo Free State that the cannibalstie
practices Of the natives throughout
that region are not fairly understood by
the civilized world. Capt. Hinde went
to Africa In 1891 In the service OF the
king of Belgium. He had no concep-
ton before going there of the extent
to which human flesh Is used for food
by the natives. It seems that a consid-
cradle portion of the slave traffic is to
provide meat for those who purchase
the prisoners. Every battle is followed
by q horrible feast, and the parts UNI
consumed are smoked and sailed for
future use. Even In times of peace the
practice is observed, and Capt. Hinde
says it was not unusual for prisoners
or slaves to come to him and beg the
privilege of slaughtering some conn
panion to be used for food.

stole his idea, and think I improved
on it by erecting the sly on sled run
ners, ready to hitch team to and haul
about.
The illustration shows the idea, which
is simple. The runners are two by eight
inches, and eight feet long. The roof
is made from 12-foot boards cut in
half. The width is six feet from out to
out. There are two cross ties, one at
each end of sled, with two uprights for
door, two by four inches; all parts we'll
nailed together. One of these houses is
an excellent shelter for brood sows, as
they seldom lie on their young, owing
to the ridged roof.
They afford excellent shelter, are
warm, dry, and will hold half dozen
200-pound pigs. When they get foul a
team will move it in few minutes to
a clean spot, and the accumulations
underneath and around it's last loca-
ton can be hauled away.
