As the majority of the farnieis in Hizroti County will ,be applying the first treatment to their cattle during the last two weeks of ii1arch. For. the control of the Heel Fly, this should' be an opportune time to outline some suggestions regarding t1 ' method 'of treatment. The Warble Fly powder should be .nixed at the rate of one pound of .powder, to one gallon: of water. Place the powder in a pail and stir thoroughly as the required am:` ount of warns soft water is added. Keep the solution stirred, while apply- ing: It is best to use fresh wash for each treatinent so each farmer should estimate the amount of powder re- quired each time and add the neces- sary quantity of water, • Three treatmettts 'are recommended, the first being applied between the 20th and the end, of ;March, the sec- ond a month later and the third two months after the first treatment:. Young cattle and grass cattle should be given the third treatment before being turned out to pasture even, if a month has not elapsed since the se- cond application. It is not neceseat•,y to wash the entire back, but treat on- ly 1. the lupi It which indicate that a grub is underneath. A stiff bristle; brush :Or wire haired .lxrush is ideal, to use in treating-, simply dip the encs of the; brushin the wash and thor- auglily scrub the Warble lumps. Make sure that each warble lump is well wetted and that some of the wash soaks down through the _sole ht the hides It t', not difficult to treat cattle that l .t running in 1 are tied.
