is made for collecting the manure be-
low and having it removed regularly
by wagon or in manure spreader to
the fields. a hillside may be selected
for the site. as this secures a more
solid foundation and gives easy access
on two levels. Loads Of hay can be
driven into the middle Of the alley
and taken up by sling carriers. Along
each side and behind the horses and
the cows are sliding doors between
every 2x6. with an additional 2x6 to
make plenty of room for the manure

water troughs under them. The barn

kept in dry quarters and out of strong
winds. 1t is very essential for fatten-
ing steers that they be well bedded.
1t is decidedly advantageous that the
yard be macadamized or given an i'm
previous coating of some kind to pre-.
vent mud during soft weather. Wet
bedding and muddy yards are more in
furious than extreme cold. The
amount of feed required per pound OF
gain is practically the same whether

THE HORSE BOT FLY

The horse bot fly Is a species of
gadny; but It is not the flies them
selves or their eggs that actually cause
the mischief or trouble, but the mag
gots, grubs, or bots that result from
the eggs. Horses that are turned out
to grass for long periods are the most
likely to be troubled with bots, animals
that are frequently handled and
worked taking very little risk, curl
Gus fact being that where a number OF
horses are grazing together animals
Of a dark color are invariably selected
by the flies on which to deposit their
eggs in preference to those having
lightcolored skins. In the summer,
and especially during the month of
August, the flies are very busy and
dart about with great rapidity, with
the result that the female flies are not
long in ascertaining the whereabouts Of
grazing horses. The female flies buzz
about the front OF the horse they Sc
lect, frequently settling for a few sec
onds on the animals breast, forelegs,
shoulders and other parts within reach
of the animals tongue, during which
time It's eggs are laid or deposited,
and each one sticks or adheres to the
hair by means of a glutinous fluid
with which 1t is surrounded. 1t is but
