“FLY TIME” AMONG THE COWS 8ome Individual Animals Seem to Suffer More Than Others—Vari- ous Remddies Suggested. (By WALTER B. LEUTZ) Midsummer is known as “fly time" in the dairyman's calendar. the dairy cows at this season of the year is looked upon as unavoidable, and is attributed by many to the wor ry of the stock by flies. The failure to provide an abundance of succu fent forage to supplement the parched pastures seems a trifling contribu- tory cause of the lessening milk se- cretion, compared with the activity of the pesky, ubiquitous fly, especially at milking time. The flies that are most numerous about cattle are known by their coms« mon names of the stable fly and the horn fly.

Handling Cows in Summer. There is a iradition that cows will do hetter in warm weather than in cold weather, but experience has dis roved this fact.

A——— There has been much controversy fans this season regarding the ball now in use in the major leagues, the disputants lining up on the question whether the ball now in use is or is not livelier than the one used last sea son Many claim that the high batting averages of some of the players at the present time are due to the llveller { ball, while others claim that they are ! due to the ineffectiveness of the pitch i ers and that the ball is no livelier | than the one used last season.
