' (Contributed by Ontario Department of • A gricultum, Toronto) The name ' warbles: is applied ,to a rather common condition affecting cattle which is characterized by the appearance of small lumps along the back and lOinS. The lumps gradually deVelop during the late winter months, and as spring approablies the skin along the back and loins is noticed' to be covered with small rounded swellipgs about the size of a, sinall walnut. The lumps are quite tender at -fiest,aand when they be- conae fully developed a round hole, surrounded -by a little frothy matter, ' becomes noticeable in the ceaitre of each little swelling. Througli ea,ch of these little openings in the skin a grub or warble finally emerge. » The explanation of the occurrence and development of warbles in cattle 10 rather interesting.

Although Detroit is a large city with a splefidid district around it, yet this well edited morning yaper could not survive. In Canada in the last month two or three -weekly news- papers have gone out of business, and during the past two years numerous dailies and weeklies. Newspaper casts are not -appakent on the surface, nor does the pablic have any real conception of the money and ,effort required in these days to Publish even a fairly good local week- ly. Occasionally someone' enthinking- ly asks when is the price of the paper coming dovvn,..a»d occasionally some- one inquires about reductions in ad- vertising rates. At a meeting of rep- resentative weekly, publishers from all over Canada held in Toronto two- or three weeks ago- 4- Careful 'comparison of costs and revenues was made, and it was clearly shown that in regard to publishing a weekly newspaper the costs were at the present time aS high and in some cases even higher than they were during the war. • There have been slight reductions in ss one or two things. The cost of news- I-4 print has been slightly reduced, the ss total reduttion being equal to 2C per year on a year's subscription. News - prim is still three times the- price of pre-war days. „Ink is from five to six times the price that it was ten years ago. Type is between two and three times pre-war prices, Linotype metal, which during the war 'soared to al- most prohibited prices, is still .three times the pre-war price. "Cuts" that in 1913 and 1954 could be pure -based for 75C are today . from $2.75 up. These are just a few of the items en- -tering into the Cost of publishing, but the' are not the 'most serious ones. Wages were never higher in the his- tory of the printing -business in Can- ada than they are today, and this is, as everyone knows, a very serious item. The high cost of labor in the printing business is due to two things, the high cost of living and the short- age of printers.'Anther serious item entering into ,the ,cost of publishing is coal which in 19.17could be bempt for Se.00 a ton, and this is one thing that cssnnot be curtailabeca.use cadnd be' done "when the work- shop is below a dertain temperature, Tilsit again we have postage which in the short space of two years has been increasing six. fold. As a matter of fact the situation in some sections calls -for increases if weekly news- papers are to remain in business add - to keep up to the standard desired by the public. SniaH newspapers in -the Western Provinces with circirlatons of from soo to 1000, are charging a subscription rate of $2.5o a year and have a minimum advertising rate of asc an inch. . The weekly n'ewspaper • business is not a money -making business, in the general acceptance of the term, but owing to the large investment »ivhich has -to be made at the present time in plant and equipment, (a single Lino- type costing as 'high as $6,,000), it has. to yield an adequate return ott the investment. This means advertising and subscription rates 'based on costs and not gttessed at as in -the old days. This has been largely brought about The effects produced by gad flies and warbles are chiefly. economic losses, which the flies cause by worrying cattle while at pasture dur- ing the summer time and lessening milk •pro.ducUou., and the damage which the warbles inflict to the skin, thus lessening the value of hides for tanning purposes. The extent of the injury done to hides through warbles is considerable, and it ,4s conserva- . Lively estimated that twentiv-feve per cent. of cattle hides are thus damag- ed each year. Tanners and hide dealers do not want warbled hides, as the uses a grubby hide can be Put to are limited, ,and as a result they are graded low .and reduced, in 071-71"7 • - • • • "111 11 --ess-Sts sesesesessesesses , ...-esesseseesseasaasseassesa 'Sts 40, The Chain Grocery Stores of Canada w•••••••...sno.."r•".,r.•••'"••• Dominion Stores Ltd.

Prevention and Treatments- , • YarionS preparations shave been recommended and used as renalla,nts to -ward off the attacks of gad flies and prevent there laying eggs' on -cat- tle dUring the summer season. Local treatment of the backs Ofnattle with a mixture of sulphur, oil ot tar and train oil is popular, but it would appear to be of; little yea).- eervice. It is now generally considered .that in districts where warbles are troublesome that the best course to be adopted is to keep the cattle un- der shelter _or the shade of trees during the heat of- the day in sum -- mer to preVent them being atty.:ked. by the flies as far ae possible. „Dur- ing the 'winter months the cattle should be examined every week, and ri if any of them "are noticed to be ,affected with warbles the grubs W should be squeezed out of their beaks .every few weeks or at least once a M month. To facilitate the removal and destruction of the -grubs the little openings in the skin over each lump May be enlarged a little, with 112 the point of a sharp knife and a ▪ little iodoform-vaseline ointment _IN' applied. 'This ointment is composed of one part of iodoform and five parts of vasellne, and is very effective in killing; the grubs. The grubs can be min readily squeezed out of the lumps at the proper time and should be de- stroyed to prevent . their further dereloprnent and thus lesSeti the number of flies ter the coming sum - 1111 mos If these precautions and siremea,sures Were carried out ,by cattle owners each winter the beciir- ' rence of vearbles would be largely overeoine, anda needless loee avoid- ed whidh the agg-regate is very con- , sidorable as it involves lon as of eos lessened'inille proditction and damage to the hides,—C.
