As an exhibitors ofmbain, Mr. Schmidt won distinction by his success at thd large provincial- shows and’ at the World’s Fair cojnpetitiori at Chicago. ’ Atr.

During ’ / the .. .summer months ; horses arp^much annoyed by the per­ sistent egg laying efforts,, of female bot. flies. ' -. ♦2. During the winter " and spring seasons bof Ay larvae located in the "stomach “of the horses cause inter­ ference with normal digestion and also seriously injure the mucous membrane lining of the stomach. 3. "During the winter .and spring t horses become unthrifty arid subject. bot fly larvae. ..During " the -, spr/in^2^?®®^ considerable irritation is. also caused by the larvae. ■ ' . ’ ." 4. Bot flies cause heavy losses to horse owners. This loss is difficult to estimate but consists of run-a-ways, broken harness, brolden machines, injured horses and a general difficul- 'ty of easy work during the Summer season. The unthriftiness and diges­ tive disturbances also cause consid­ erable .loss. o . ' In controlling bot flies thbre are th‘ree common inethods.1 (1) Prevent­ ing 'the flies ’depositing eggs on the horses through, the use of coriimpn devices.' (2) Destroying the eggs before they can hatch. (3) Destroying the larvae - While they are in the stomach. It is this last' method that is. being undertaken by the farmers in Huron Township. Horses can be successfully treated where ordinary care is practiced thfdrigh 1 the use df carbon fli-sulphidb administered in Capsules bj[ a qualified veterinarian; This treafrnent should be made be­ tween ..Dfiic. 15th and Feb.. 1st*, as at that time all of the larvae are in the stomach.
