HORN FLY IN MINNESOTA.
State Etymologist Says Pest is Grow.
ing Common.
MINNEAPOLIS Tribune

: Minneapolis Tribune;
s State Etymologist E. L. Washburl
S finds that the horn fly, or haemotabi.
l serrata is beginning to be unpleasant
3 ly common in Minnesota, and by it
9 attacks on COWS has caused no IittI,
loss in milk.
: The fly looks like q common house
/ fly, but is only about half the size.
II When present in large numbers they
! are serious pest to cattle, causing
sore patches on the back. The fayorite
point OF attack for the hornfy is the
middle of the back in the region of
the shoulders and the base Of the tail.
| These points can be less readily
reached than any others by the COW in
her attempt to dislodge the fly. The
ny causes the sore spots by sucking
the blood of the cattle. The flies so
harrass the cattle that they fall off
very perceptibly in milk, and are kept
in q constant state of nervousness.
The fly is not native OF America,
but was imported into this country
from Europe about 1887. It has been
found at times in various parts of the
state, but not SO widely distributed
as now.
The fly derived its name from its
habit of gathering in numbers about |
the base of the horns while the cow
was resting. From this fact the erro-
neous idea came that the fly in some
way caused brain trouble in tbs cattle. |
The fly lays its eggs In the fresh
manure, and the maggots are quickly
Matched. Warm, dry weather is IN
favorable to the growth of the pest, |
and the flies breed prolifcally in wet
weather.
Various methods Of protecting the |
COWS from the fly are resorted to. One |
is the use of lime on the manure,
another the spraying Of the COWS with j
kerosene emulsion. Another method |
is trap consisting of curtain over
the barn door with lighted chamber
above it, so arranged that when IT,. !,
COW is driven into the barn t,as chr
tain sweeps the flies off ger back and |
they collect in the upper chamber
Fresh oil is used in auneinting the
COWS,
Prof. Washburn said that the COWS
do not seem to appreciate the efforts |
made to relieve them. He tried to
protect his own family COW with |
blankets and the COW deliberately |
destroyed two good blankets which he
put over her.
The fly pest Is most common in the
southeast, much more than in Mime |
sofa, but the entomologist is surprised |
at its increase in this state.

Acting Presidents of tho Beers Visits Lord
Kitchener at Pretoria Under
Flag OF Truce.

London, March PA dispatch
from Pretoria: says: Acting Presi-
dent Schalk-Burger. F. W. Reitz, ex-
secretary of state of the Transvaa1.
and Commandments Lucas Meyer and
Krogh, with their secretaries and
attendants, arrived there March %,
at 1904 p. M, on a special train from
Balmoral, about so miles east of
there. They went into Balmora1 .un-
der flag of truce. Upon arriving
there Mr.. Schalk-Burger and his
party drove Immediately to Lord
Kitchener's headquarters. where he
had an interview with the British
general. The Beers afterward pro-
ceeded to the railroad station and
entrained at five o'clock for Kroon-
stad, whence they will go out under
a safe conduct. For a week past Mr..
Schalk-Burger and his colleagues
have been stationed at Rhenoster
kop, north of Balmora1, where they
have been closely pressed by British
columns.
Few of the papers here comment
on the news from Pretoria. These
take it for granted that Mr.. Schalk-
Burger and his companions are on
mission of peace and again engage in
a discussion of possible peace terms,
expressing the hope that the over
lures will have successful outcome.

commission of the Methodist Episco-

ILLITERACY INCREASING.
Labor Bureau Bulletin Shows a Deplorable
Condition Among Negroes on Lou
isfana Plantations.

Washington, March 22.-In a bulle-
tin of the labor bureau, j. Bradford
Laws has presented an interesting re-
port of negro life on the southern
Louisiana plantations. Each of the
negroes was questioned and from the
replies the statistics submitted in the
report were compiled. A more hope
less condition than this official re-
port presents could scarcely be con-
ceived. Less than so per cent. of
those who reported that they were
married had ever been legally mar
ried. Even when they are legally
married." says the governments re-
port, 'they soon forget their vows
and, if the impulse strikes them, they
separate and live with someone more
to their liking. Numerous cases are
seen of two persons legally married
and yet living with different per-
son, and reporting as being married
to the second. A legal divorce is
practically unknown among planta-
ton negroes" An altogether surpris-
ing feature of the investigation re-
garding the illiteracy of the negroes
is that it is on the increase.
