Feather Superstition.

We have long been acquainted with
the peacock feather superstition, but
were not aware until few days ago
that it extended to all feathered crea-
lures. A young girl admired the beau
tiful pigeons strutting, cooling and sun
ming themselves in the covert of the
house where she was boarding and ask
ed the landlady to sell her pair TO take
home with her. mo, indeed, child, 1"
was the immediate response Not for
any money would l sell you those birds.
When one person gives or sells an ac-
quaintance feathered thing, there is
sure to be trouble between them, and 1

The annual meeting of the AssO-
citation OF Economic Entomologists was
held at Columbus. Ohio, Aug. 1919.
DR.. l.. q. Howard ~ the United States
department OF agriculture under the
title, "A Remedy for Gad-Flies," read
a paper showing that DIR. |. Porchinski,
an expert entomologist connected with
the Russian government, has discoy-
cred that gad-liies, which are such an
intolerable scourge to animals living
on the Russian steppcs. are to Il certain
extent dependent on the existence Of
occasional pools OF water which they
frequently visit and from which they
drink. BY careful experimentation DR..
Porchinski has shown that by covering
the surface OF such pools with u thin
MIN OF Kerosene the gad-nies are killed
in enormous numbers, and that large
stretches of country may I've relieved
or the presence of those tormenting
fiies by this means DR. Howard
called attention to the fact that he
had anticipated Porchinski's discovery

to published account in which he had
shown in that year that the commonest
gad-fiy OF the locality in which the ex-
periments were made was captured by
the Kerosene film. liz many regions OF
the United States live stock suffer
severely from these cad flies or horse
flies or dcer-fies. as they are indiffer-
