FALSE HUNGER
A Symptom Of Stomach Trouble Cor

There Is, with some forms Of stom-
ach trouble, an abnormal craving for
food which is frequently mistaken for

writes from Carthage, Mo-, to *

with this sort of hurtful hunger.

A cross bred cow is a mistake.

A cross bred COW is a mistake.
Each cows udder should be thou
oughly cleansed before milking.
Bloody milk or that from a sick COW
should never be mixed with wholesome
milk.
The uncovered cans Of milk should
be kept in cold water until they are
delivered to the creamery.
The use of muslin in dairy windows
instead of glass is said to lessen the
danger from disease germs.
The secret Of success in the dairy
business Is, test the cows, keep rec
ords, figure, know and do not guess.
The milk from a new mich COW
should not be brought to the creamery
until at least a fell week after the COW
has calved.
The stable should not be cleaned oil
brushed nor should silage or roughagt
be fed until after all the COWS of the
herd are MIXED.
All milk cans should be washed frs
in cold water then thoroughly cleanseC
with warm water and finally rinsed il
scalding hot water.
1t really requires little care and at
tention to maintain milk and cream IL
a clean, sweet condition even during
hot, sultry weather.

instead she Is your master. The bet

ELY TIME" AMONG THE COWS
Some Individual Animals Seem to
Suffer More Than Others-Vari-
Gus Remedies Suggested.
CBy wALTER b. LEUTZ.)

Wy EN- D. "'
Midsummer is known as fly time
In the dairyman's calendar. The
marked falling off in the milk flow OF
the dairy cows at this season of the
year is looked upon as unavoidable,
and is attributed by many to the wor-
ry of the stock by flies. The failure
to provide an abundance of succu-
lent forage to supplement the parched
pastures seems a trifling contribu-
tory cause of the %lessening milk Sc
erection, compared with the activity
of the pesky, ubiquitous fly, especially
at milking time.
The flies that are most numerous
about cattle are known by their COM
mon names of the stable fly and the
horn fly.
The stable fly resembles the house
fly very much in appearance, but diff
fers in having the mouth parts fitted
for piercing the skin and sucking the
blood of animals. The eggs Of the
stable fly are usually laid in horse
manure, the female laying from l25
to $50 in a season. The period of de-
velopment from egg to adult fly is
about IS days.
The horn fly is a new pest and was
first noticed in this country about
1886. The first appearance of this
fly was the cause of considerable
alarm among the cattle men, and the
experiment stations of the various
states were appealed to for informa-
ton in regard to the origin and life
history of this insect and for sug-
gestions as to agencies for repell'
ing it.
The horn fly is a small, gray fly,
very much like the house fly, but
smaller, measuring about three-six-
teenths of an inch in length. They
have the strange habit of settling in
great numbers about the base of a
horn, which they sometimes complete
ly cover, a habit which gives them
their common name. They confne
their attention to cattle. They bur
row in the hair about the shoulder,
the roots of the tail and other por,
tons of the body where they are not
easily dislodged. The injury done
by the horn fly is by singing, much
like the mosquito. BY means of a
fine lancet they pierce the skin and
suck the blood through the tube or
sheath.
Some individual animals suffer
more than others and dark colored
animals more than light colored.
These flies follow cattle to the barn
at night and remain with them all the
time.
Various remedies have been sug'
gested by good authorities.
Destruction of larvae in the drop
pings by application of lime or the
immediate spreading and drying of
the same.
Application of tobacco powder to
destroy the flies.
Application of one of the follow,
ing ~repeIlants: Ten to fifteen per cent
kerosene in water.
Fish oil with small mixture Of car.
bolic acid. Cottonseed oil, two parts
and pine tar one part.

January, 1904. In 1906 there were
four such exhibits.

Harness Arrangement viii Prove Of
Greatest Aid to Animals
During Calving Time.

Many valuable cows have been lost
by the womb or calf-bed following
the calf. In large herds a harness,
as shown, will almost always keep in
the bed when there is any danger.
This must be kept on for "a hours
after calving, after which time there
is not much danger. The part under
the tail should be extra wide and so
arranged that a clean, sanitary cloth
a be put next to the cows skin. A
