1350 Killed .. . 50 Wounded
Here is the fly by fly report on the fate of 1400
blood-thirsty, cow torturing flies that went down
with a single application of
Dr. Hess Fly Spray
Still more important than its killing properties is
the ability of Dr. Hess Fly Spray to protect cows
from fly torment in the pasture. Cows sprayed with
it in the morning are practically free from fliesALL
DAY LONG and this means something to the dairy
man. It means he can avoid a milk slump at fly time.
