(Contributed by Ontario Department. or Aerloglture, Toronto,),' Tlie.'uame "warbles" is applied to a rather common oon'ditloe affecting cattle which is ciiarfacterized by 1110 appearance of small 10101)5 along the back and loins. The lumps gsaduallY develop during the late winter months, and as spring approaches the skit-: along the hack ; and loins 1s noticed to be covered with small rounded swellings about the size of a snlall walnut, Tho leave are quite tender at first, and when they be- come fully developed e round hole, eui'roubded by a little frothy' matter, becomes noticeable In the centre'of cacti little swelling. Through each of .these little openings In the skin a grub or warble finally emerges. •The explanation of the occurrence and development of 'warbles in cattle is rather interesting, - The Gad Fly le Responsible'For the Injury.: ' The primary cause is the "Gad Fly," of which there are two varie- ties technically termed the Hyderma bovis and the liyderma lineata These flies attack cattle while at pas- ture during'the warm simmer season, and 0120 seldolle troublesome during cold damp weather.: They make a. buzzing sound when. in flight, and cattle when attacked by thein become terrified to such an extent as to cause, them to stampede, which' is common- ly known as "gadding." The Mee attack the lower parts of 'the- body and the legs. They deposit their eggs in the hares close to the skin, -and in such a manner that the eggs",are firmly attached to the hales. After a time the eggs are hatched, and the larva or young insect passes down the hair follicle, through the skin, into the tissues, Further develop- ment• of the larva takes place in the tissues, and, finally they bucceed in Malting their way to the 'region of the back, whiblethey appear to select for the last stage of their development,' and form little lumps in the' skin, in each of which a ern)) or "warble" is present, which is the mature larva, Finally ,the grub boreb it way out through the skin and falls to the ground, Where it passes through the chrysalis or caterpillar stage encased. in a cocoon or 1h011-lilto covering, and is transformed into a pupa which in about a month becomes fully de- veloped and emerges as the mature adelt gad Ay. Effects and Loss Sustained.' The effects produced by gadflies and warbles are chiefly economic losses, which the flies cause by worrying cattle while at pasture dur- ing the summer time and lessening . uuillr pi oduction, and the damage which the warbles inflict to the skin, thos•.iesseeing. the value, of -kudos for tanning 13)50posee. The extent of the inaury done to hides through warbles is Considerable, and it is conserva- tively estimated thattwenty-flue Per- cent. of cattle hides are thus damag- ed each year. Tanners and hide, dealers do : not want weiblod' .hides, as the uses a grubby hide can be .put to are limited, and .as a'resrilt they are graded low and reduced in iLAG ' FE MEN (yes fiane a'- eneli>k to ;Golae, tf:plts of 5911 ,Silo; " 1'Vell-Pitelte l (be0r ho5. lder C7srially �y 2 Ooinei 'oat Wap --.

Various preparations have, been reconumbnded and used as. repellents to ward off the, at'tacke of gad Hies and prevent them'daying eggs on cat- tle eluring the summer season. Local treatment of the backs of cattle with a mixture of ,sulphur, oil of tae and train oil itis popular, but .it would, 'appear to be 0f little ,reel service. It is now generally considered that. in'•? districts_ where warbles „ are troublesome that the best, course to be adopted is to peep the cattle un- - der shelter n--der,.shelter or the shade -of trees during _the heat of tho day in sum- mer ,to prevent thetn being attacked by .the ;flies as far as possible. ' Ditr- ing the winter months the cattle should be examined every week, and if • any of them are noticed ,t0 be affected with warbles the grubs should be squeezed out of their backs every feer weeite or at least ,ence a month, To facilitate tile removal and destruction of -the grubs the little opeeiugs in the skein over each lump may be enlarged a little with the point of a' sharp knife and a Ihttle iodoform Vaseline ointment applied: This ointment is cereposed oI one Parrot iodoform and five, parts of vaseline, and is very effective fir killing the grubs. The grubs' eau be readily squeezed out of the lumps at the proper teem -and should ho des strayed topreventtheir further deviulopnient: and thus lessen thee. number of 'flies for the coming sum- mer, If these precautions and shit - pie measures were ceeried`out by 'cattle owners each winter the occur - velum of wai'bles would be largely overcome, and a needless loss avoid- ed which in the aggregate is very eon- siderable as it involves loss of con- dition, lessened milk production and damage to . the hides.—C.

Prevention of Tuberculosis In Poultry. It is absolutely :.useless :to • treat poultry which is suffering from tuber- culosis with any sort of medicine or patent poultry tonics,. Preparations which guarantee to mare this disease are pronounced frauds by scientists, Once the bird is infected there is no. eure. All effort should be directed to preVeht the healthy birds' from contracting the disease. If the flock is: small and ,not . of. great value and it several birdshave' died or are known to beaffected, it would probably be the part of wisdom to destroy the wholedock and start over again. The poultry honed' should be scrublebd out with good disinfect- ant and tile walls whitewashed. If the Doer of the house is dirt, remove about six inches and bury it out of the way. 'Resurface with fresh, clean soil. If the floor is well made of either concrete, tile or' wood, soak thoroughly with disinfectant. If the Doer,' is nob of gooci,material or hard t0 clean, lase a new one over the old,: Pura over ,tbe .soil in. the rune, Moil drinking caps and. cleaner) all other }utensils. Atter this is well done, se- cure the new birds, being very tare - fel to purohase ,them from a flock .which Is free from the disease. If the flock is large or valuable and it is decided to attempt eradication. without destroying all the fowls,. great care and attention, even to the smallest details, aro necessary. One willed omits°, overlook some of the diseased birds on the fleet examinee thin, but they/ may be observed later on; when tile aemptorns are better de- veloped. leeep the floor as frac from drops as possible, and clean ant and disinfect al least' once a weep..
