THE POLICE COURT.
Joseph Pierce Fined $15 and Costs
 and Thirty Days in Jail.
Telephone 168-4.

Joseph Pierce, 20, was before Judge Burpee in the city court to- day charged win theft of $22 rom George Socio on May 27. Accord ing to the story told by Socio he runs little store at S4 South Leon ard street and on the day in ques- tion Pierce and another young man entered and said they wished to look at the water meter. They had book with them, intimating they were city officials connected with the water department. Socio showed them the meter and they entered upon the book what 1t indi- cated. They then asked him If he would show them the meter in the house across the street, and wish ing to be obliging, Socio accom- panied them. About half way across the street one of them said he forgot something in the cellar Of the store where the meter was ana he wished to go back for it. He did so but he found a trunk in the store and in jiffy he had 1t rifled. Both then fled down the street, Socio and another man after them. Every once in a while the pursued would drop a bill and the pursuers would stop>to pick it up. This would give Pierce and his friend chance to get ahead. In the end the fellows got away but few days ago, Pierce was arrested in New Haven. He admitted to Detective Kennaugh, who brought him back to Waterbury, that he committed the theft, but 1t amounted to only >$6 or, $7. And on the witness stand to-day he made the same admission and insisted that Socio and his friend had been given back their money. He. was asked who gave it back and he refused to tell. He was fined SIS and costs and given 30 days in jail.
 A young fellow named Charles Pesino was charged with theft of a the railroad company. A railroad watchman said he saw Pesino wrench the seals off freight car and take out the watermelon and when he found he was seen he dropped the melon and ran. Pesino said this was all wrong. He just saw two friends of his in the car and when they ran he ran too. As the evidence was not strong enough the young fellow was put on proba- tlon.

 Patrolman William Cassin was the raiding party that gave a knockout blow to smoker which was going on Saturday evening in c. A. R. hall on East Main street when he entered. The smokefes' was said to be a benefit perform anee for Harry Galway, who at one time was a conspicuous figure in the boxing arena of this city. Since there was no reading matter on hand Saturday evening the promot' CTS of the smoker had little eEser- tainment in the form of few bouts arranged for the benefit of those that paid the admission price. Two of these exhibitions were over and the third under way when Mir Gas. sin made his appearance.

on the bodies of the animals by their
rubbing themselves against trees and
other objects or by licking bitten
places where the irritation cannot be
allayed by rubbing, as inside the
thighs and around the udder.
Successive broods follow each other
rapidly throughout the summer Two
weeks is about the time required from
the laying of the egg to the appearance
of the fly, and there is usually time in
the summer months for as many as
eight generations or broods. This
rapidity of development accounts for
the flies appearing in such large num-
bers. The appearance of this insect
has been a great curse to cattle own
ers; so much SO that the tormented
animals fall off in condition very much
and the yield of milk is reduced in
some instances from one-third to one
half. There are, however, several sim
pie remedies which will, if attended to,
greatly reduce the loss, to say nothing
of the hundreds of advertised RENE
dies which are being sold at very mod
crate prices.
All accounts agree that the fly In
creases much more rapidly early in
the season than later in the year. This
shows the advantage of being prepared
before the pest appears with the nee
essary materials and beginning prompt
work so as to destroy as many as pos
sible before breeding commences.
Preventive-To quote from the
United States entomologists, Messrs.
Riley and Howard:
almost any greasy substance will
keep the flies away for several days. A
number of experiments we're tried in
the field, with the result that train-oil
alone and train-oil Nth a little sui
phur or carbolic acid added, will keep
the flies away for from five to six
days, while with a small proportion
Of carbolic acid it will have a healing
effect upon sores which may have
formed. Common axle-grease will an
swer nearly as we'll, and the substance
has been successful and extensively
used by a large stock-dealer in Vir-
ginia. Tallow has also been used to
good advantage. The practice of
smearing the horns with pine or coal
tar simply repels them from these
parts. Train oil or fish oil seems to
be more lasting in it's effects than any
other of the substances used"
A cheap and ~efficacious remedy, sug-
gested by Hoard's Dairyman, and
which in the long run will be found
to be the best, is kerosene emulsion.
The emulsion consists simply of a mix
ture of soap suds with twice the
quantity of ordinary coal oil, made as
follows:
Kerosene local OLD, two quarts;
rain water, one quart; soap, two
ounces.
Boil the soap in the water till all is
dissolved; then while boiling hot, turn

appeal to the Well Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup Of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy Of
known value, but one Of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug
gists.

singly on the freshly dropped dung of
cattle, chiefly during the warm hours
of the day. They are one-twentieth of
IN inch in length, brown in color and
are not easily seen when laid. The
young maggots hatch from the eggs
in less than "a hours and at once bur-
row a short distance beneath the sur
face of the dung. Here they remain
until full grown, feeding on the liquid
portions of the manur This is their
only food, and all stories about their
boring into the horns, ETC., are untrue.
When the maggots are full-grown,
which takes about a week, they are
three-eighths Of an inch in length,
shaped as shown in b, and are a dirty
white color. They descend a short dis
lance into the ground to pupate, and
the dark brown pupa-cases are one
eighth of an inch in length. During
the hot weather of summer the pupal
state lasts only four or five days, bat
the last brood passes the winter in
this condition a short distance beneath
the surface of the ground, and the flies
emerge in the spring. The perfect in
sect (d) male, is shaped much like the
common cattle fly (Stomoxys calci-
trams), or the house fly; but it is
smaller, being only ne-sixteenth of an
inch in length, or about one-third the
size Of these insects. The head con-
sists almost entirely of the dark-red
silvery edged eyes, but bears on its
lower surface the black dagger-shaped
tongue which is the cause of so much
torture to cattle.
The flies form a more or less COM
plete ring around the horn, extending
sometimes from two to four inches
from the base of the horn toward the
tip as shown.
The clustering OF the horns seems
to be peculiar to this species. The
horn fly does not bite horses and other
animals, but seems to confine its at
tack on cattle. No injury results from
this habit of clustering around the
horn, The flies merely resort to the
horn as a resting place from which
they cannot easily be ~dislodged by the
animal. They also congregate on the
neck and IN the base Of the tall.
Some animals are more susceptible
TO the tortures Of this pest than
others, according to their temperament
and texture Of their skins. While
feeding, the flies work their way down
through the hairs SO as to reach the
skin Of their victim. but they quickly
take flight at the slightest disturbance,
The bites seem to produce great irri.
tation and sores are frequently formed

it into the kerosene and churn it con.
stantly and forcibly with a syringe or
force pump for five minutes, when it
will be of a smooth, creamy nature.
AS it cools it thickens into a jelly
like mass. This gives the stock emul-
sion which must be diluted before u.s.
ing with. nine times it's measure, that
is 27 quarts, of water. 1t will be found
to mix more easily if done at once, be-
fore it cools. This makes 30 quarts
of the mixture ready for use. This
may be applied to the animals by
means of a sponge, or, what is certain
ly more convenient, a force pump and
spray nozzle. One application often
lasts two or three days. Where a
small number of cattle only are kept,
the hand sprayer answers well
enough.

plant, bongo, hippo, rhino, ze- ~
bra, tigers and smaller animals? From indications,
the Democrats declare, there will be no Jungles
when Theodore leaves.
Five thousand pounds of ammunition will be
needed, six months food is an absolute neces-
sity and an expert declares that the cost from
the time he steps onto the continent until he
leaves will aggregate about $4,000. That is a
large. amount Of money to put into six months
hunting, but British and German sportsmen say
it is worth the price.
The real heart of the hunting regions Of Afri-
ca is in Rhodesia. There are cannibals there,
also hostile tribes, but Rooseveltian diplomacy may
become a splendid asset, and backed up by his
fighting experience gained on San Juan hill and
in sparring bouts with the senate, there should be
no serious danger.
One of the features of the expedition will be
shooting lions by night. This has been authori-
tatively announced by the magazine which is to
pay Mr.. Roosevelt 81 a word for his stories of the
hunt. In stalking lions by night the president must
use an automobile headlight, which African ar.
chives say King Leo hates. He dislikes it so much
that each season several dozen natives are killed
and carried away while carrying jungle torches.
The lair of the lion must be baited with a live
donkey. One of the hired help holds the light and
the president holds the gun, always in readiness
to end Leos career on sight.
When the king of beasts is sighted, the native
swings the spotlight full upon him and in the single
instant that the lion is dazed by the glare, Mr..

THE CLOVER
LEAF WEEVIL
BY Prot. j. T. Folsom.

The first injury from the clover
leaf weevil is seen the latter part of
March in the form of little round
holes in the clover leaves. On the
ground under the rubbish you will
find little green grubs curled head to
tail; at night they crawl to the plant
and do the damage. In June these
grubs turn to beetles and do more
damage by stripping the leaves. This
insect constantly threatens the plant
but rarely does serious damage. Id
moist weather a fungous disease
sweeps it off like magic. If the grubs
are present in alarming numbers in
the spring, cut the clover early, or pas
ture 1t a little, or clip it back in May
or early June.

THE HORN FLY A GREAT
PEST TO DAIRY CATTLE


Considerable anxiety is always evil
denced by stock owners, especially
dairymen, concerning the sudden an
nual appearance upon their cattle of
enormous numbers of a small blackish
fly which irritates the animals so
much with its bite and disturbs them
so constantly that they fall off rapidly
both in flesh and yield of milk. This
horn fly is a European pest which was
first brought to the notice of the Uni
ted States division of entomology in
September, 1877, and was probably
imported with cattle from Europe,
where it has been known since 1880.

lished ar account Of his work in bull

perfect insect. Our other illustration
shows the peculiar habit this insect
has of resting in large numbers on the
base of the horns, which has given rise
to its peculiar name. Both of these
figures are after those used by the
e~ntomologist of United States in an
article in insect life, Vol. H., page 49,
103, in annual reports for 1889 and
1890.
The appearance of this fly into Can
ada was first noticed neal Oshawa,
Ont, in 1902. In all cases since then,
when the fly has become general all
over America, farmers have come to
be thoroughly aroused and to appreci-
ate the losses they suffer by neglect
ing this pest. Exaggerated statements
of losses and injuries to the animals
which are quite impossible, have re-
ceived free and extensive circulation.
Cows have been said to have been
actually killed by the flies which
some allege lay their eggs either on
the horns into which the maggots bur-
row and then penetrate the brain, or
in holes which they eat through the
hide, lay eggs therein, which hatch
out in large numbers and proceed with
their boring operations until the vital
parts of the COW are touched and death
ensues. None of these statements are
founded on fact.
The eggs, in the first place, are laid

cornered. His prey having been killed, the aides
with the president will set to work to skin the
beasts.
But the most sought animal is the bongo, af-
ter which every African hunter is keen. It's the
rarest animal on the dark continent. Accord
ing to one wealthy European, the market price
for a single specimen is $4,000. The bongo Is
wilder and more timid than the American
deer.
The great continent of Africa for centuries has
held civilized peoples in a hypnotic state. 1t
simply teens with mysteries and to get at the
bottom Of these, thousands of lives have been
snuffed out by wild beasts, natural formations
of the country and the novelsts as we'll. Sta
t%istics, gathered between the years of 1901 and
1875, have it that over one-third Of the works Of
fiction of those generations were based on the
darkest continent.
Arabs, Portuguese, Dutch, French, Teutons
and Britons have held sway in that order in the
most populated parts of Africa. French, Dutch,
Germans and English are still prevalent there
and evidences of the subjects Of Portugal and
the wandering Arabs are still to be found in the
style of building, customs and costumes.
The classics of Livingstone, Spoke and Stan
ley tell us what 1t was once like and now we
are to have a present-day rehearsal by Roose-
welt himself. Africa c%onfronts the traveller with
the g%randest, most mysterious, most difficult
touring proposition that Is to be found the world
over.
