STRANGE EVIDENCE. 000,000 BLOOD SUCKERS AT WORK. The oilier day on a* farm not a hundred miles from Auckland a milking cow was found d£ad, having- fallen over a bank. It was noticed that clinging to the end of almost every hair of the cow's hide were innumerable lice. » An effort was made to roughly estimate their number, and by taking a patch six inches square and counting them anil multiplying the remaining space a conservative estimate put the number of lice on the cow in question at the it,credible number of half a million. A farmer present made the observation that almost half the cows in the Waikato were infected with lice in the winter and early spring, and also that in his opinion this reduced their milk yield at least one quarter. Just reckon the astounding waste. IF half the herds in the Waikato are infected with lice, and a-quarter of their yield lost to tb% farmer, it means that thousands 01 pounds every yeai iy> to feed thes« hungry parasites. Here, then, is a remedy: Buy a Tin of "THOMPSONS LICI'.RINi'V and smear a little down the animal's back. Liccrine kills them all. An absolutely new preparation, wonderful in its results. Effective on Cattle, Horses, and Pigs. Obtainable at all stores, or 2lb sample tin posted on receipt of 3a Cd.
