PARASITES CAUSE
OF BIG LOSS
Loses due to cattle parasites in
Ontario amount to a large sum uttcit

climate is en ideal one fur live stuck

The greatest single lose due to cattle
parasites, is due to the heel fly, cone -
moldy known as the warble fly or
gad fly,
During the four months, April,
May, June and July, 75 per cent of
the cattle hides going to the markets
are grub infested and can only make
third grade sides of leather. This
loss in Canada has been estimated
at $7,000,000. Ontario's share in
this would be about one-third of that
amount for hide:, alone, to this we
can told the damage done through

Denmark grappled with this pro-

6 per cent. of the hides going

This work was so encouraging that
the legislation ha- been renewed
for a further three years, with the
expectation that the warble or heel

extinction in Denmark.

effective results, Dr. Lionel Steven-
son, provincial zoologist. recently
made a statement : I would like to
at a campaign put on in some
township or county to demonstrate
the extent to which the heel or war-
ble fly could be controlled, if every
farmer would queeze all warbles out
of the back.: of his cattle."
Control measures urea recommended
by Dr. Stevenson are quite simple.
It is recommended that the herd he

ing the sea: on when the grub: are

edies :
(a) One part derris powder, ten

ty parte water ;
(d) One part iodoform, ten parts

Tn nee (a), (h) or fe) inject a
few drops in on the grub- with a
squirt can syringe. To use Id)
press a small piece in on the grub.
The derris powder and silver nitrate
are the most efficient of those, list-
ed.
The grubs may be pressed out
•and killed, but this practice is not

are crnshod in the attempt to get
