Horse owners from one end of On- ario County to the other, Veterin- arians and the local branch of the On- tario Department of Agriculture are all working together during January to at least greatly reduce the nuisance | and the loss caused by Bot Flies, A County wide plan has been under- taken so as to get the job of treating horses for Bots done as cheaply as possible for the horse owner. Meetings are being held throughout the whole County this week and next. Circulars outlining the important facts of the Campaign have been sent out to Horse owners and Veterinarians are already on the job and ready to go out wherever a group of farmers have gotten together and advised the Veter- inary that they wish to have their horses treated. Treatment is being given at the low rate .of 30c. and 8G6c. per horse de- pending on grouping of horses and condition of roads. There are three varieties of Bot Flies in Ontario. The common or Leg Bot Fly has been with us from the beginning. The Chin or Throat Bot Fly and the Nose Bot Fly are com- paratively recent pests and have been brought into Ontario with Western Horses. These Flies cause a heavy loss and much annoyance. Every horse owner knows that work in the fields is made harder, that runaways are common, that broken harness, broken machines and injured horses are often due to Bot Flies. Many horse owners also are aware that, the unthrifty poor condition of many horses subject to digestive dis- turbances and colic are frequently caused by Bots in the stomach. Control of Bot Flies Devices (wire guard) can be used to prevent the Nose Bot Fly from laying = its eggs. Devices which are more awkward to use will also ward off the Chin Bot Fly and Common Bot Fly. The Hatchibility of Bot Fly Eggs can be easily killed in various ways. The use of light oils or rubbing over the egg covered areas with a carbolle or stock dip solution 2% strong is effective. The killing of, the Bot Fly Larvae in the stomach of the horse is a Veter- inarians job. Carbon Di-Sulphide 'Capsules is the recognized treatment. In order to get all three varieties of Bots, the treatment must be given be- Hints for the Horse Owner 1. Horses should be prepared for. treatment by with-holding feed for 12 | or more hours and water for two or more hours prior to the hour set for treatment. 2. After the horse has received the treatment, it should be returned to feed carefully. No feed or water should be given until four hours have passed, following the treatment. Limited water and soft feed should then be given--care being taken that the hungry horse does not over eat or over drink. Be careful of ice cold water. : 3. Horses known to be ailing from disease of any kind, should not be offered for Bot Treatment. 4. Horses kept in high condition and regularly groomed are not likely to be infested and usually do not need treatment. Horses that are very old are seldom Bot infested. 5. Horses from which the Bot Fly eggs have been removed, or killed; by weekly washes or sprays during the entire summer, will be free of Bot Grubs, so do not need treatment. 6. Colts should be given a dose in keeping with their weight. 7. Horses that are permitted to eat a handful of oats, just before being capsuled will swallow more readily. 8. With aged and debilitated horses it is best to divide the regular dose into two portions, and have same ad- ministered one hour apart, 9.- Brood mares far advanced in pregnancy should not be treated.

Hsom The exceptional mild week was suc. ceeded by a very blustery Sunday and practically all activities were held up. Mr. Croskery, our representative of -| Ontario Department of Agriculture, was anxious to get.in touch with the young people of the Epsom community to bring them the benefits they will achieve if they can possibly get away to attend the lectures the Department is about to put on in Port Perry dur- ing the month of February. dt is hoped that a favorable contact with our young people can be found later on during the present month, The Ladies' Aid of the Utica United Church met on Wednesday the 9th in the basement qf the Church for elec- tion of officers and all the members were returned by acclamation, Owing to the inclemency of the weather the missionary service which had to be withdrawn last Sunday, will be held on Sunday next. Be sure to be on hand next Friday night at Utica United Church when a most interesting debate will be the order of the day, which is being ar- ranged by the young people. i [1] Myrtle Station Considering the most disagreeable weather last Sunday, we had a fairly good attendance at Sunday School, al- so at Church in the evening, Rev. Ww. E. Honey preached a good sermon, reading for. the lesson--Ezéekiel 87:1- 14 and using as his text verse 3-- "And he said unto 'me, Son of Man can these bones live?

The series of meetings which was planned by the County Live Stock "Improvement Committee is about completed, These meetings provide an opportunity for open discussion i and the clearing up of some points in connection with the Carbon-di-sulphide | 1 treatment, as local Veterinarians have attended every meeting. ; A special feature of these meetings aside altogether from the matter of Stock has been a discussion led by: Mr. R. H. Graham, of the Ontario Live Stock Branch on the subject of "Mineral Deficiencies in Live Stock Rations." This topic is a f and spring months when animals a are fed and cared for under conditions so far removed from the natural that the lack of certain mineral substances in the rations cause so much trouble and loss. The function of Calcium (1 phosphorous, iron and 'iodine: were | I explained in a very practical Vay.

The carrying on of Bot: 'Control capsules and has also made. it poss Veterinarians throughout the County in doing the job at a set price of 30c. vices. There 'are certain requirements re- treatment and with-holding feed and water -for a certain length of time after treatment which it is important that the horseman observe. And there are conditions regarding grouping of horses at convenient points or along a main road which key-men in each school section are expected to arrange in order that' the special rate may apply. At the '30c. rate, Veratrine are offering the horse-men a real service but they feel-that key-men and farm- ers should meet them half way in making treatments of horses as con- venient as possible. In the case of long or difficult lanes or where other- wise inconvenient to the main area be- ing treated, horsemen are expected to bring their horses to a neighbours or some other central place, otherwise a. price of 86¢. is the charge. It was found at all of the meetings that key-men had already been active in many school sections and it would horses have already been treated. The meetings provided an opportunity for the organization of other groups. Two | hundred - and. fifty-six key-men have been named for the County and a'local list is- given herewith so that farmers may see who are the key-men for their particular sections and may get in touch with them and help them line up the horses in their community for treatment. It should be borne in mind that Bot treatment to be effective for all three varieties of Bot Flies, should be given before the 1st of February. It has been found that the larvae of the Nose Bot. Fly (which has been a particularly troublesome pest in late after February 1st. One thing all horsemen are agreed on is that Bot Flies are a most troublesome nuisance in the summer and early fall months, Many farmers most impossible: to work them at times when the flies seem worst. Time is lost, harness and machine are broken and runaways occur due to Bot Flies. The. Bots in the stomach of the the under-lying cause of much colic and digestive disturbances. If all horses were treated the Bot Fly would soon disappear but Dr. Lionel Steven- son says: 'Horse owners can get high- ly satisfactory results from having their own horses treated, even if the horses on.the adjoining farm are ne- glected. The flies go to and stay with -the nearest horses to them when they emerge from the pupa case."
