CAROLIN I , . |t Keeping Flies Off Cattle There are many materials or mix- j tures used to keep flies off cattle. Some of these are commercial pro. ducts generally advertised and on . the market and others art? made up c at home according to many different formulas. These preparations vary I greatly in their efficiency in keeping (flies off cattle. The questions of applying them sufficiently often, and as to whether the benefits justify the labor and cost: are always to be considered. It must j be remembered, however, that the! . falling off in the milk flow in "fly time," may generally be more correctly attributed to hot weather and declining pastures than to the ill ef lects or flies. , ; When the stables are screended or kept dark, rope or other curtains ? ; used to brush the flies oft the cattle l . as they enter the doors and the cows I are at least the one advantage to i (the milkers, that the cows are less I restless while being milked. r Some of the ready-made preparations on the market are applied with 1 spray pumps. Also the coal tar dis1 infectants in water which are some times used are sprayed on the cattle, r These latter preparations mustusur ally be sprayed on the cattle often, l at first every day, to give fair pror , tection from flies. Other heavier ap5 plications, like the following recom3 mended by the United States Department of Agriculture, are applied to those portions of the body most largely attacked by the flies, with a large flat brush: ( 1 pound common laundry soap.

Put the naphthalin ( in the crude petroleum and stir until dissolved. Then pour the soap 1 and water with the petroleum and t thoroughly mix them together by I putting the solutions in an old churn and churning until ;t is well mixed.
