which healthy peoplo afterward eat
As this evil is, so far as known, only
occasional, flies do just as much harm
In tho aggregate by torturing tho do
mestic animals, as this goes on all the
ttine. Tho sufferings which horses and
cows undergo in this way Is sometime!
sufficient to make them drip with

Cows also would probably give moro

waste which has attracted surprisingly

significant tiling Is that they aro a
product of human nature. When trav

been Invented which repel tho files,
but they also Injure tho animal. What
Is needed Is somo application which
wi'l not hurt a horse's coat and yet
will repel or mislead tho flies. Tho
reason that nothing of this kind has

Impression prevails that such a sub

whereas tho truth seems to bo that It
only needs to deceive them. Insects
seem to be guided to their food by tho

Is tho odor of tho horso or tho cow

Is to dlsgulso that odor so that they

Is the way that flsh oil and keroseuo
