Killing the Horn Fly. At this season of the year cattle are suffering from the persistent biting of the horn fly. This Hy, which is smaller than the house fly, congregates in colonies about the base of the horns, along up the back and sides, at tender points about the flanks and udder, and on the belly. This flv sucks blood from cattle, ami so irritates them as no doubt to retard the laying on of flesh with beef cattle ■ and the production of milk by milch cows. Many substances have been recom • mended to keep away the flies, i Is* ■ Mississippi experiment station recom mends two parts of cotton wsm! oil « fish and one part pine tar. 1 his station applied this mixture to •«» luvid at a to

t il cost for material of 42.20. Kerosene emulsion has also l>een used, spraying it over the cattle with a knap sack sprayer. The flies are kilk'd bv the emulsion if it touches them. The emulsion may l»e made by mixing at the rate of one pint at soft soap lor onefourth pound of liard wmp dissolved in boiling water) and one pint of kero sene in 15 pints of water, thoroughly whipped and churned together. At the Indiana experiment staton, we have tried different Huietiinces to keep away the flies. None of these were effective over two or three days. We have tested a pre pa ration called “Shoo Ely,” which an swered very well for two days. The main objection to this is its cost, cents a quart or $1.50 per gallon in three, five and ten gallon cans. One quart will do for one application on about 50 animals. We have, however, secured fully as satisfactory results by using a quart of fish oil in which was mixed about two tablespxmfuls of crude carbolic acid. Fish oil is 60 cents {>er gallon in Uafay ette. These liquids are applied on the body with aflat paint brush about four inches wide. Fish oil is eejs'cially dis agreeable to flies, and is probably large ly used in the special preparations, sold nt high prices. There is one objection to using any form of tar. in that it makes ■ the hair sticky, which accumulates dirt ; and so gives U a bad appearance. Stockmen Would do well to fewtiW up

the manure in the pasture whenever possible, as the tie’s deposit their egg* in it, from which the young are develop'd. If the manure is gathered up or broken to pieces within a day or so, and if reme dies to keep off the tin's are applied to the cattle, the insects will disappear early in the season. Perdue Newspaper Bulletin. July Bth, 1890. Condition of Indiana Crops. A press dispatch has been published in Chicago saying that the report of state statistician Thompson would show the Indiana wheat crop to be below his estimate of June, which was at 53.8 percent of an average crop. Mr. Thomp son says he has not made his rejjort. nor will it be ready for some time. He says that figures thus far obtained lead him to believe the crop will not exceed the June estimate. Personal.

Do not neglect so sure a remedy forth s repulsive disorder. It will also improve your appetite, complexion and general health. PILES! How many suffer torture day after day, making life a burden and rubbing existence of all pleasure, owing to the secret suffering from Piles. Yet relief is ready to the hand of almost any one who will use systematic « ally the remedy that has permanently cured thousands. Simmons Liver Regulator is no drastic, \iolent purge, but a gentle assistant to nature. CONSTIPATION SHOULD not be regarded as a trifling ailment—in fact, nature demands the utmost regularity of the bowels, and any deviation from this demand paves the way often to serious danger. It is quite as necessary to remove impure accumulations from the bowels as it is to eat or sleep, and no health can be expected where a costive habit of body' prevails. SICK HEADACHE! This distressing affliction occurs most frequently. The disturbance of the stomach, arising from the imperfectly digested contents, causes a severe pain in the head, accompanied with disagreeable nausea, and this constitute* what is popularly known as Sick Headache, for the relief of which take Simmons Liver Regulator or Medicine.
