Bring. insects For National Collectipn
Oddest souvenirs of the war are
those brought home' by Guy E.
Shewell, of Ottawa, formerly acting'
'major of the 5th A i.ti-tahk Regiment.
The • souvenirs which Shewell 'cql-
-lected • in England and Italy are 2,000.
different kinds of ;flies .which she his
donated to ' the Canadian National
Collection of Insects.
His kit bag filled with specimen
a
•boxe-and-•a--khaki-camouflaged• insect
net, ' • and carrying forceps, entomo-
logical pine 'and a hand lens in his,
sunglasses container, Shewell collect
ed most of his spenimen8 whezz. ta-
tionied with the 1st Anti-tank Regi-
ment in. Sussex, England. On leave,
he acquired additional flies in .Devon-
shire,-• Cornwall and the Lake Dis-
trict. Most of this, Italian speciniens
he captured in the Volturno River
Valley; and in the' Perugia and An-
cona districts. ."h'requentiy, when bil-•
letted in Italian homes, I acquired.
other insects -but .these' IM didn't try:
tc bring home," he says.
By . profession a dipterist with the
Syste.matic unit of • 'the Division of
Entomology, Dominion Department of
Agriculture, •Shewell is an authority.
on dipterous ,insects which include
houseflies, mosquitoes; blaek••-ities and
certain, kinds „of, fleas. These% he bas
been collecting and identifying since
joining the Departmentfollowinj_
graduation' from Macdonald College.
in 1935. Recently rejoining the De-
partment after nearly five years' ser-
vice overseas, Shewell is in charge of
the Diptera section of the Canadian
National',Colleetion of. Insects.
' This collei✓tion of approximately
800;000 specimens is.,, the largest in
Canada and is the source . to which
entomologists turn for accurate ident-
ification of insects. Just as a doctor
ftequ.ently depends on a pathologist's
identification of tissue before com-
pleting diagnose of prescribing,treat-
inent, so do entomologists depend on
the . National Collection's specialists
in ide'l'itifi'ca.tion, of insects before be-
ginning control measures.
'The' economic value of the collec-
tion is illustrated' by such incidents
as when,. in 1939, it received for
identification specimens of an unusu-
al fly found in the Canadian West,
This the collection -identified as ,'•na-

Mastitis, or inftaminatlon, ,of tlie'
udder, • is caused by any of several
germs of which Streptococcus ,agal-
actiae is responsible for 'the chronic
infectious form of the 'disease. It fre-
-quently destroys the milk -secreting
tissue of each infected quarter of the
under, reducing the yield of milk
which it 'contaminates with pus. As
alert health • authorities prohibit sale
of 'milk from • infected udder quarters,
conscientious dairy farmers usually
find, it profitable to slaughter_ these
cows after more than one-quarter has
become diseased. -
Foremost among existing control
measures is the prompt discovery of
infected' animals, in• 'which,. only a
veterin'a'rian is competent to diagnose
mastistis in its' early, stages.. Once
identified, infected cows.are placed at.
the end of the milking line. ,. By this
pi'ecatition, there is no danger .of milk
from infected teats being. transferred
to teats of healthy cows. ,
As the' udder is a sensitive organ,
it is' predisposed to infection,.byOven
minor injury; .such as is often caused•
by rough milkers or by tine; milking
