Hicks June Weather Pre-
dictions.

The month promises to come in
with Warm weather, falling bar
ometer and general storm condi-
tions advancing from western Sec
tions. Moon is at south point of
declination and perigee on the 1st
and End. The 1st and End are
also central days of reactionary
disturbances. Moon is full or the
third, and regular, Vulcan storm
period runs from 4th to 9th, be-
ing central on the 7th, the central
day, also, of the Venus disturb
ances. All these things indicate
that menacing weather conditions
will prevail generally until after
the moon passes north of the ce-
lestial equator on the Sth. About
Wednesday, 9th, to Saturday, 9th,
look first for very warm wave
and falling barometer, ending on
and touching the 7th and Sth, in
many very threatening storms.
Many sections will get at this
time heavy, local, downpours of
rain and hail, while many other
parts of the country will have
heavy, black storm clouds, with
much violent buster and stormi-
ness, with little or no rain. Ex-
.cessive heat and the usual abnor-
NAL lightning and thunder of the
Venus disturbance will precede
and attend the storm areas ut this
time. The characteristic change
to very much cooler may he count
ed on when the storms of this
central Venus disturbance have
passed, and the high bnrometric
area following from the west
reaches progressively the various
parts of the country.

A Waste of Money.

When the lightning rod man is
showing his toy house, and how it
is protected from the electric fluid
by his rods, he will probably cite
you to some successful, level-head-
ed man who has given an order for
rods. You should not let that
cut any figure in influencing you
to give an order. Frequently
very successful financiers, who
have accumulated large sums, are
badly buncoed. 1t only depends
on confidence man of the right
calibre undertaking the job. In
this matter of lightning rods de-
pend on your own judgment. If
you will think you will fail to re-
call any damage by lightning
which it will pay you to spend
money to prevent. AS business
proposition the investment of
money in a lightning rod cannot
be defended. For the expendi-
ture you get something which has
no practical value whatever.

between 9 A. NJ,
and q p. M, and more particularly
during the warmer morning hours.
They are laid singly and usually
upon their sides upon the surface
of wet dung the moment the latter
is dropped. So far as known they
are laid upon no other substance,
and never upon old dung. The
larva upon Matching descend into
the dung, remaining, however,
rather near the surface. When
full grown they are about two-titthS
Of an inch in length and of normal
color and form. The puparium is
formed in the ground beneath the
dung. The time elapSing from the egg
to the adult is from ten to seventeen
days, averaging, say, two weeks,
and there are probably seven or
eight generations annually. The
winter habits Gin the United States
have not been definitely determ-
ined. Information doubtless takes
place normally either as an adult
around stables, or as a puparium
below the surface of the ground.
The flies make their appearance in
May, becoming most abundant in
July, and gradually dwindling Gin
the United States until November,
or until sharp frosty nights become
frequent. The characteristic habit
of clustering about the base of the
horn is developed only when the
flies are quite abundant. When
they average only one hundred or
so to an animal comparatively few
will be found on the horn. More
over the hOrn-cluStering habit seems
to be more predominant early in
the season than later. The horns
are not the only resting places as
vast numbers cluster also upon the
back, between the head and the
fOreShoulders, where they can be
reached by neither head nor tail.
In the feeding position the wings
are slightly elevated, and are held
out from the body at an angle of
So from the abdomen; the Ices are
held out widely, and the beak, in
serted beneath the skin of the
animal, is held in nearly a per-
position. The fly, be-
fore inserting its beak, works its
way through the hair close to the
skin, but it is able, at a fling of the
tail or an impatient turn of the
head, to rise inStantaneouSly in
light, settling back as quickly.

STOCK RANGE And DAIRY,

| saturday t1A-
WAIIAN, was very interesting to me,
as it must have been to all rancherS
and dairymen on this Island. This
pest in other countries Especially
in America) appears periodically
and for a short time only, but owing
to the eveneSS of our climate we
can scarcely expect it to be any
thing less than a perpetual source
annoyance.
1t resembles the common house
fly in general appearance, except
that it is only a little more than one
half its size, and has perhaps a
tritle more color in its wings. Il is
armed with a proboscis which it
protrudeS- or retractS at will; with
this it punctureS the skin of the
animal it attacks and sucks the
blood, causing thereby intolerable
irritation and annoyance.
The poor Infatuated beast en-
deavorS, as best it can with head
and horns, to ward off these attacks.
The first effect of this irritation is
that the hair is removed in patches,
the skin cracked and eXcorriated, in
which state the common house fly
quickly finds an opportunity to bite
and further irritate the animal.
High bred animals, owing to the
thinneSs of their skin, Scanty coat
and nervous temperament, seem to
suffer most.
There is at present no known
treatment except that which will
give temporary relief, such as the
application of washes, lotions, oils,
ETC., the smell of which is offensive
to the pest.
Those recommended are decoctions
of the leaves of the water pepper,
walnut, ETC., carbolized washes,
and such oils as fish oil, crude
petroleum, cade, carbolc, ETC.; but
these must be re-applied from time
to time to be effective.
When it is known that it only
takes fifteen days for the fly to
mature, it can readily be realized
how rapidly this pest may increase.

The Horn Fly is
Horn Fly given consider
in the able attention in
United States. the published re-
port of the Secre-
tary of Agriculture of the United |
States. In the report of 1880 it is
stated that "much time has already |
been given to the thorough inveSti-
cation of the horn fly, a pest to
horned cattle newly imported from
Europe. This insect was first
noticed in the United States in about
1887, in the vicinity of Philadelphia,
and has since greatly increased and
spread to the southwark along the
Atlantic States until, in 1880, it
had reached southern Virginia. 1t
S serious drawback to the stock
and dairy interests of the localities
which it has reached, very greatly
reducing the condition of cattle and
he yield of milk. The complete
ife history has been followed out,
md field experiments have been
made, which result in establishing
satisfactory remedies and prevent
ltives."
There are several popular names
or the horn fly, and also many
errors in regard to it. The name
horn fly" has been quite generally
adopted, and, as was stated by
Professor koebele in THE HAWAIIAN

have been greatly exaggerated, and
probably no deaths have resulted
from the bites of the flies. There
can be no question, however, but
that, when numerous, they effect
stock injuriOuSly, reducing flesh,
while in the case of mich COWS the
yield of milk is unanimously stated
to be reduced from one-fourth to
one-half. This is point on which
dalrymen cannot possibly be mis-
taken. There is, moreover, quite a
common belief that the bites will
eventually produce sores. 1t seems,
however, that the flies are only in
directly the cause of such spots.
The irritation caused by the bites
causes the animals to rub them
selves violently and severely against
trees and fences, and to constantly
lick such points as the neighbour
hood of the bag and the inside of
the hind thighs, which they cannot
well reach in any other way. The
sores are probably brought about
in that way.
