A fact not fully appreciated even
among farmers is the economic loss in

and after IL had been in operation a
week calculated the difference in milk
production. He was obtaining IL gal

traps. as did the Ohio dairyman. Some
wash their herds with preparations,

through the fly season protected
against flies only by the weapon with
which nature equips them-the tall

The cow which spends the entire day
fighting flies does not consume the

The Ohio man built lean-to

fitting closely about the COW which
brushed the flies off. The dairyman
