"FLY TIME" AMONG THE COWS Some Individual Animals Seem to Suffer More Than Others Vari ous Remedies Suggested. (By WALTER B. L.EUTZ.) 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 se cretion, 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 born fly. The stable fly resembles the house fly very much in appearance, but dif 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 125 to 150 in a season. The period of de velopment from egg to adult fly is about 15 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 tion 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-sixteenths 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 confine their attention to cattle. They bur row in the hair about the shoulder, the roots of the tail and other por tions of the body where they are not easily dislodged. The injury done by the horn fly is by stinging, 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 Jestroy the flies. Application of one of the follow ing repellants: Ten to fifteen per ceat. kerosene in water. Fish oil with small mixture of car bolic acid. Cottonseed oil. two parts and pine tar one part. fEED SALT TO LIVE STOCK Receptacle Shown in the Illustration Is Designed for Use Either in Field or Corral. The salt receptacle shown In the illustration is designed for use in a field or corral. It affords free access to the stock for obtaining the re quisite amount of salt, and at the same time protects the salt from the elements and prevents waste. The opening Is protected by a hood which the animal shoves open by putting his nose under It and lifting upward. When the nose is withdrawn from the Salt-Feeding Receptacle. opening thus made, the hood drops down again by its own weight. A sufficient opening is always left to ex pose the salt and attract the stock. Water Hauled to Cows. The usual method of watering in Denmark is to haul the water in a tank on a low-wheeled, one-horse wagon twice a day to the tethered cows. Doors are placed In the top of this tank at either end. and by pro ceeding directly across the field along the Hue of tethered cows, stopping the horse midway between the tether stakes, two cows can drink at the same time, making the task of water ing easy. Some take the cows to the stable to be milked three times a day. and in this case the watering is done there. Slovenly Milker. A slovenly milker who milks a dirt; cow in a filthy stable should be com pelled to drink every drop of milk he draws until he reforms. Butter for Market. When preparing butter for market always bear in mind that an attrac tive package will more quickly win a buyer. Equipment for Dairy Farm. The cream separator, the silo and the manure spreader should find a place in the equipment of every dairy farm. SAVES MANY VALUABLE COWS Harass Arrangement Will Prove of Greatest Aid to Animala 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 24 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 can be put next to the cow's skin. A dangerous subject very often, when lying down in the stall before calving. Saves the Cows. will show an inch or so of the uterus, says a writer in the Country Gentle man. She should be carefully watched at calving, and as soon as she has calved put on the harness, which must be tightly strapped on. and then in an hour or so loosen it up to let away the after-birth or renew the sanitary cloth. It almost always hap pens that once a cow throws her bed she will do it again. In desperate cases two stitches can be made with a darning needle and fine white tape and left in for two days, giving sloppy drinks with a little opium In them. Raise the cow's hind end higher than her front end with inclined floor. GOOD STABLE SCREEN DOOR If Made of Strong Material It Can Be Secured by Wide Board to Drop Into Brackets. If the screen door for the cow stable Is made of strong material it can be secured by a wide board to drop into A Stable Screen Door. brackets on each side. This protects the door and is easily made at home. One end of the board should be bolted loosely to the barn, so that it may act as a pivot and the boards be raised up when the door is opened. Food for the Growing Calf. Growing calves should have such food as insures growth. Fat is not needed in the. dairy calf. Keep the calves comfortable, summer and win ter, and growth will follow as a nat ural result Best Milk Producer. Dairy farmers should not raise or buy timothy hay for cows. Clover or alfalfa is much better as a milk pro ducer. Hard Butter Without Ice. To keep table butter firm without putting it in the refrigerator set a "trivet" or any other open flat thing with legs in a large saucer. Put the plate of butterballs, or a "pat" or mold of butter, upon the trivet; fill the saucer up with cold water and in vert a common clay flowerpot over the butter in such a manner that the edge of the pot shall be within that of the saucer and in the water. Cork the hole in the bottom of the flower pot (now the upper part) and drench copiously with cold water. Set in a cold place and in a few hours you have firm, cold butter. This Is a great convenience in warm weather to these who have a scanty supply of ice or small refrigerators. Cost of Producing Milk. The Massachusetts Experiment sta tion has found that the total cost of producing milk satisfactory in sani tary quality and containing from 4 to 5 per cent of butter fat will usually amount to from 4 to 5 cents per quart The cost of keeping a cow for one year is estimated at 51:57.07. Milk produced under more than average sanitary con ditions of certified milk will naturallj cost considerably more. A cross bred cow is a mistake. Each cow's udder should be thor oughly cleansed before milking. Bloody milk or that from a sick cow should never be mixed with wholesome milk. The uncovered cans of milk shoulc 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 tt-c cows, keep rec ords, figure, know and do not guess. The milk from a new milch 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 or brushed nor should silage or roughage be fed until after all the cot.s of the herd are milked. When calves have a habit or sucking each other's ears it is best to separate or tie them. After Ciey get to eating grain foods there will be no more trouble from this source. 1 ff A A M1 BTlarllk faaf-'l'V aal'aaft Ba?

DISFIGURED WITH CRUSTS "Some time ago I was taken with eczema from the top of my head to my waist. It began with scales on my body. I suffered untold itching and burning, and could not sleep. I was greatly disfigured with scales and crusts. My ears looked as if they had been most cut off with a razor, and my neck was perfectly raw. I suffered untold agony and pain. I tried two doctors who said I had eczema in its fullest stage, and that it could not be cured. I then tried other rem edies to no avail. At last, I tried a set of the genuine Cuticura Remedies, which cured me of eczema when all else had failed, therefore I cannot praise them too highly. "I suffered with eczema about ten months, but am now entirely cured, and I believe Cuticura Remedies are the best skin cure there Is." (Signed) Miss Mattie J. Shaffer. R. F. D. 1, Box 8, Dancy, Miss.. Oct. 27, 1910. "I had suffered from eczema about four years when boils began to break out on different parts of my body. It started with a fine red rash. My back was affected first, when it also spread over my face. The itching was almost unbearable at times. I tried different soaps and salves, but nothing seemed to help me until I began o use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. One box of them cured me entirely. I recommended them to my sister for her baby who was troubled with tooth eczema, and they completely cured her, baby." (Signed) Mrs. F. L. Marber ger. Drehersville. Pa.. Sept. 6. 1910.
