STRANGE EVIDENCE. \ 500,000 BLOOD SUCKERS AT WORK. The other day on a farm not a hundred miles from Auckland a milk* ing cow was found dead, haying 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 and multiplying the remaining space a conservative estimate put the number of lice on the cow in question at the incredible 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 < f their yield lost to the farmer, it means that thousands of pounds ovary year go to feed these hungry parasites. Here, then, is a remedy: B;y a Tin of "THOMPSON'S LICKRIN and smear a little down the animals back. Licerine kills them ail. An absolutely new preparation, wonderful in its results.
