the pests can be greatly discouraged.
The worst of the fly family is the horn
fly. This is Il small black fly, attack
ing cattle chiefly. 1t has habit of
gathering about the shoulders and
horns at night, which gives it its name.
One of the most effective means Of
dealing with the horn fly is to apply
repellent mixtures to the animals.
Equal parts of fish oil and tar or axle
grease can be used. One application
will last n week or ten days. Spray
ing with kerosene emulsion helps,
though this will not last nearly as long
as the o her remedies. Kerosene emul-
sion or carbolic acid solution is one OF
the best remedies for horsetlies. Oils
cannot be used on horses because Of
their disagreeable character. Good fly
nets do great deal to keep flies away.

with parasites than any other domes-
tic animal. The worst of the external
parasites is the scab mite. This IS an
insect so small that il can hardly be
