Death to Flies.

This is the season of the year when
IN improvement in fly traps will be
appreciated by every housekecper. One
of the latest of these devices is recep-
tacle made preferably of glass and
blown in such shape that its lower
portion is outwardly curved with
the receptacle, forming n trough. in
which any suitable liquid may be held,
in which it is designed to hnvc the in
sect drop and drown, suitable means
being provided to induce the insects to
pass within the receptacle, and, COM
ing in contact with the inner curved
wall of the trap. fall back into the
liquid. While it is common in the art
to construct insect traps substantially
of the construction described, as far as
the shape of the trap ID concerned,
what Is claimed us new is mirror,
which is either placed ut the upper
portion of the trap. about its upper
surface, with material which may re-
feet from the under side, whereby siies
or other insects which may be feeding
below the trap may see their images
In the rejecting portion above, and, fly.
ing toward it, come forcibly against the
inner wall of the glass and fall back
into the liquid in the trough beneath.

KILLING HORN FLIES.

Acthods Of Treatment Tested NJ
Various Experiment Stations.
The following bulletin on this subject
is issued by the Purdue university agri-
cultural experiment station:
AT this season of the yenr cattle are
suffering from the persistent biting Of
the horn fly. This hy, 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 finnks and udder,
and ON the belly. This fly sucks blood
from cattle. and SO irritates 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, at
total cost for material of $52.20. Kero-
sene emulsion has also been used, spray
ing it over, the cattle with knapsack
sprayer. The flies are killed by the
emulsion II it touches them. The emul-
sion mny 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
n Is pints of water, thoroughly Whipped
and churned together.
At the Indiana experiment station
we have tried different substances te
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 wal
mixed about two tablespoonfuls o.
crude carbolic acid. Fish oil is 60 cent,
per gallon in Lafayette. These liquidi
are applied on the body with n fla
paint brush about four inches wide
Fish oil is especially disagreeable L
flies, and is probably largely used il
the special preparations sold at higi
prices. There il one objection to usint
any form of tar, in that it makes thu
hair sticky, which accumulates dirt, an.
so gives it bad appearance.
Stockmen would do well to break vi
the manure in the pasture wheneve
possible, us the flies deposit their egg
in it. from which the young are devcl
oped. II the manure is gathered VI
or broken to pieces within a day or SO
and II remedies to keep off the flies ar
applied to the cattle, the insects viii
disappear only in the season.

ALL AROUND THE FARM.


In sandy soil deep planting is best
for potatoes.
If the hay is dusty, dampen 1t for
feeding to horses.
Pull the collars away from the horses
shoulders while they are resting.
Ashes may be considered as a special
fertilizer for potatoes. improving tho
yield and quality.
Generally with flower seed, large or
coarse seed should be planted much
deeper than fine seed.
The most successful work of the farm
is done according to the season, rather
than by any other set rule.
1t will be an exceptional case when
some soiling crop cannot be used to q
good advantage during the summer.
Early cultivation Of corn and pota.
toes means cultivating them before
they are up. It is an easy way to kill
weeds, too.
When the cabbage, tomatoes or sweet
potato plants have grown long and
spindling set them deeper into the
soil; down to the first leaf is usually .
good plan. A ia
II the full number Of stock is kept
that the pastures will carry during the
best part of the growing season, some
soiiing crop must be grown to help
out when the pastures fail.
One advantage with all farm prod.
ucts and stocks is that If prices fall Il
is certain that the lower quality drops
first and most, and usually is most diff
