(London Advertiser.) A new cow pest that threatens to diminish the milk supply seriously is reported by dairymen as appear- ing among the herds of this dist- rict. For lack of better technical knowledge,, the bug is called the “North-west fly", and it is said to sting with the power of a charge of rock salt. One dairyman stated to The Ad-‘ vertiser that when this fly attacked one of his cows. the poor animali became almost demented and ran 11â€", bout the field tail in the air. until} it dropped f1on1 exhaustion. “her-i ever the pest has appeared the} herds haVe fallen off in their milk output. and the dairymen are con-a sulting experts to ascertain the best! means of exterminating the pest. So far they haxe been able to secure} little 1s1tisfaction. as no one has; been able to secure a sample of the fly. CUT OUT PACKAGE GOODS. “It‘s the most vicious pest that ever attacked the animals in these parts," said one ovvner of a large herd. “It has played havoc with my cows and with the milk sup-- ply. The ordinary flies are bad enough. but this bug makes the poor beasts go crazy. It is someâ€" thing like the horseâ€"fly, and attacks the cows in the tender parts.” District Representative Finn said that he had heard nothing of the pest, but would be glad to exam- ine the fly if any farmer could pro-- duce a specimen.
