Farmers all over Audrain county
report that it is impossible to put any
pounds on cattle, work horses or
mules with any degree of satisfac-
ton, get good results from milk cows
on account of the common house fly
which is attacking all stock with a
ferocity hardly yer seen before.
Feeding cattle refuse to eat in the
day time, all their time being taken
fighting flies. If there is a pond con-
venient they will wallow in it like
hogs in order to rid themselves for a
while of the flies. Practically all the
grazing is done at night. Because Of
the ~incessant scratching and rubbing
sores develop on the legs and bodies
of animals. +
1t is impossible to work animals to
anything with a tongue in it, as the
animals straddle the tongue in their
kicking at flies says the Columbia
Tribune speaking of the flies. One
farmer near Columbia stated that he
was driving four horses to a harrow
and that the flies attacked them SO
fiercely that they plunged and strug-
gled so that all fell in a heap and
dragged the harrow upside down on
top of them. The animals were disen-
tangled with much difficulty and the
help of two or three others was re-
quired.
One who remembers the early days
when trips across the prairies OF
Boone and adjoining counties had to
be made at night on account of the
flies actually killing horses in the day
time. The flies now r nearly as
bad as in that early day. No fatal
tiles however, have been reported
