A few feet from the entrance there isa cupola or dome inthe roof of the passage gvay, made of glass and arranged as a fi trap. Beyond this the passage is dark- ness. The animal walks through the machine, and just as it passes under the dome and enters the darkened part asetof brushes sweep off the flies, which naturally rise to the ligh ted dome, and the cow. passes out at the other side free of flies. The flies are re- tained in the dometrap.
