The Brussels Post, 1924-4-30, Page 7FLIES AND LIVE STAOK. The fly is a destroyer of profits, Tbe annoyance that the various types oe live stock suffer 'from this cause dur- ing the summer period can .be deter- mined with fair aesuracy and express- ed as loss in pounds of milk, pounds of pork or work not done. Animals get no rest from morning until night. The worry is greatest during the per- iod of greatest light and temperature. The common stable fly, also known as Stomoams Cateitraris, resembles the common house fly in size and shape. The stable fly bites much harder, my-, ing quite a sharp sting. It is also a blood sucker and a very persistent; tease. The thin skin covering' the legs, flanks and abdomen of cattle and horses is the area they attack when. bent on satisfying their thirst and hunger. At other times they may rest quietly on the animal's back or on the stable wall. Any person that has to milk cows during the summer period is well acquainted with the annoyance that there little creatures can create, And when the stable fly is ably assist- ed by the housefly and the horn fly, both the cow and the milker have any- thing but n pleasant time in their en- deavors to be at least half efficient in milk production. The stable fit' breeds principally in decaying refuse, horse manure, rotting straw—mater- ials that are too frequently found quite close to the farm buildings dur- ing the summer period when it is possible to Ice:;.-+ them at a distance. To prevent the stable fly from an- noying the animals, providing darken - 'ed pens, stables, es ens sheds or other shel- ters in which the animals can retreat is a good practice. Spraying or brush- ing the animals over with liquid fly repellents is also advised. There is no repellant of very enduring effi- ciency, but a number of such now in common use are worth while 'even if a ho 1 Lesson MAY 4 The Assyrian Exile of Israel, 2 Kings, Chops. 11 to 17. .

We may asic such questions as:Ani I unprejudiced in my consideration of the latest finding in agricultural work; am I doing justice to my land in till- age and fertilization; am I doing my best to live a full and useful life; am I endeavoring to eliminate prejudices which hinder my progress and.the happiness of myself and family?
