A Valuable Extract from the Breeders Gazette. -t Fortunately this year the fly season is belated, but for thd next two months, and perhaps even longer the pest will work havoo with the herds and flooke. Few stockmen realize their annual lc sees from this souroe. Some years ago a railway in Wisconsin noticed that its receipts for shipment of dairy produots were hot what they should be. A speoial agent was direoted to look into the matter and he reported that the unusual shrinkage was due to flies. No wonder the dairy oow does poorly in August and September. * * The beef making steer shows little or no gains, while a oalf running at large ill treat ment it is its staring ooat poorly hiding its too prominent bony frame. * The greatest buffering these animals ever experience is during the summer when at pasture. What is the remedy?

The numerous preparations applied by spray to the hair of animals give temporary relief and should certainly be used when at all practicable. The work horses aud the driving horses oan be almost wholly protected by daily use of the sprayed applioations and at milking time immunity from the unspeakable, soul trying nuisanoe of fly bitten oows may be cheaply secured. The protection it gives is worth more than it costs. A peaoefnl milking free from the profac ity-provoking switch of the, tail and upset of the bucket is worth all it ooets in time and labor to spray a dairy herd with a fly repellent and the farmer or showman who does not nse this means of protection whenever possible is negleoting a means of graoe and profit. By all means keep the thin skinned oalves away from the pestering flies. Of all farm creatures oilvea suffer moat from flies. What it cost to feed the flies. In dairy districts flies often out off milk reoeipts of tlie faotories 20 to 40 per oent. Fattening steers lose one pint of blood per day and make no gain Use Spragues Fly Bouncer For sale at B. F.

Some Good Collectors.

Tie ouo thing to make a sale and another thing to get yonr money. But we have in this country, at present a troupe that oarne originally from Texas, that are now all over Indiana, Illinois, and various other states that are the best organized and most snooessful band of oolleotors that ever hit the road. So far they have never lost one single acoount, no matter how bad or how long standing - They are always sure of their pay. A polite call again never is accepted by them. They will deal with any one, they never ask for rating nor J)unn or Bradetreet’s report. But work like Beaver collecting aa they go, never ceasing until their Beasou is over. They do the work and you pay the bill. Always. It is the Texas horned fly. He is the fellow that lights in groups all over yonr cow when you milk her, looks like a hou»e tty works night and day, and ooets yon from 5 to 10 cents each 24 hoars of his visit on e&oh oow and horse. He bleeds your stock and yon pair spot oash and be dedsota the prioe oat of yosnbnlter, and mfik
