How to Make Home Attractive to the Cow
The Kansas State Agricultural College
Makes Public a Mixture That Routs the
Army Of Files and Permits the Cow to
Devote Her Entire Time to the MIX
Business.
The Kansas state agricultural college
has come out with a mixture that is war;
ranted to keep the flies away from your
cow. It costs but IS cents gallon, and
4 gallon Handlers medium sized cow
forty or fifty times. One application will
keep the flies away two or three days.
Here is the mixture:
Fish OIL 2 quarts.
Crude carbolic acid, pint.
Oii OF pennyroyal, ounce.
OIL Of tar, 10 ounces.
Kerosene, quart.
This preparation may be applied with
q brush, cloth, or atomizer and will cause
the flies to leave the COW Immediately
They will stand around for an hour or
two holding their two front legs against
their heads, waiting for the odor to die
down. But as it persists they soon go
away to hunt UP a cow with pleasanter
aroma
Some foolish and old-fashioned farmers
may not care whether there are flies on
their COW or not This is where they
make a sad mistake. Every fly on the
bossy calls her attention away from the
milk and butter business to the war on
the fly annoyance. This is just so much
loss to the farmer. A friend of ours in
Kansas, who used this agricultural cologne
on his cow writes: I.
i have just tried the agricultural col,
lege mixture on the COW. Before using
she spent all her energy fighting flies
Now she devotes it to the production of
cream. I sprayed the COW with an at

especially for this COW, and I had her
hoofs carefully Numbered, starched and
gold-leafed. The barn shovel bore hand

the blade. The, result was a genuine sur
PRISE When the COW found what was
being done for her, the look of gratitude
in cher eye was pathetic. She has been
giving. almost pure cream, and there are
riots among the grocerymen to see who
shall have her BUTTER
AS we have said before, it pays to
treat the COW right.
The Churchs Ferry Sun tells the glad
story of the work of the Farmers elevator
of that place. The balance sheet was so
very gratifying to the stockholders that
a dividend of 20 per cent was declared

a check for $500 by the stockholders as a
token Of their appreciation of his services.
In letter telling of her miraculous
cure by dogwood bitters, or something
equally as good, Mrs. Goboose of White
Dog Creek is being quoted in the Min
neSOta exchanges as follows:
II suffered untold agony every time

physicians, but they could do nothing for
me but make out their bills. I lost a

and my friends all gave me up. finally

making, and determined to try you. ]
