For the past few years the horn fly
has been a great pest amongst the neat
stock of our farms. This is particu-
larly trno on the dairy farms, MS by
the continued annoyance and pain
caused by the fly the dairy COW shrlnks
materially in her milk flow.
The fly derives its name from its
peculiar habit of resting at the base of
tIfe horns. While there it appears to
do no particular harm, but confines its
attacks to the backs and loins of the
animal, and such other parts as can
not be readily reached by the tail or
horns. This fly is about one-half the
size Of the house fly, but unlike the
house fly does not breed in ordinary
waste matter, but in fresh droppiugs
of the animals. The eggs are laid by
the fly as soon as the manure is
dropped. and if left undisturbed they
will hatch in about forty eight hours,
when they Immediately enter the
ground and go through the second
Transformation. After remaining here
about two weeks they emerge from the
ground, a perfect fly fit for business.
1t will thus be seen that many gener-
atoms will appear during the season.
Nearly everything that can he done
to prevent their rayages must be of a
preventive nature. They may be kept
from breeding by scattering the void
iugs of the animals every two days or
by sprinkling land plaster, lime, oE
dry earth upon them. They may he
