FORMULA FOR GETTING
Rid OF THE HORN FLY

L. A. Higgins Of the Dairy Exten-
sion Service, A. & M. College, gives
the following formula for repelling
the horn fly:
At this season of the year Horn
Flies are usually numerous attacking
dairy cows in swarms, causing an in.
mense financial loss to the dairy farm
ers Of the State. There have been a
number of so-called repellants put on
the market but many of them, for
various reasons, have proven unsat-
isfactory- The chief trouble in gett-
ing a good repellant is the rapidity
with which most Of them evaporate
and become nonetfective.
Some four years ago the following
formula came out in the u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture Weekly News
Letter:

"a gallons warm water,

the solutions in an old churn and |
churning until it is well mixed. If !
this is not convenient, mix in some
other way that will prove as efficient.
"This solution should be applied
with a brush over the portions of the
cows body attacked by the flies. Do
not substitute moth balls for the pow

LOST DIVIDING LINE
BETWEEN DISTS. | And s

A question has arisen regarding
the line which separatesDistrictsNos.
l and of the county. When Engi-
neer Craig began to examine the roads
which are to be gravelled he first
wanted to satisfy himself regarding
the district lines, as each district is
to pay for its own roads. He exam
ined the old maps and discovered that,
according to them the line between
Dists. / and is several miles west
Of where tradition had placed it. But
whether there has been change
since the maps he consulted were
drawn is a-question yet to be settled.
According to the poll books and
tradition, Willis creek is the boundard
between the two districts; but the
old maps place the boundary at
Barnes creek, two or more miles west
of Willis creek.
1t viii be necessary to get the
question settled before beginning
work on the roads.
