Flle nnd the Milk Yield.
The effect on milk production by the

tho Missouri Station. Various mixtures
wero found which would keep off the
files all day if put on In tho morning;
but a measurement of the milk and test
of tho butter fat for a jwrlod of two
weeks Indicated that keeping off tho
(lies did not affect tho milk yield. As
somewhat similar results wero obtained
by experiments at the Connecticut Sta
tlon, It seems fair to concede that tho
Injurious effects of the lly pest havo
been exaggerated. During tho tly tlma
