Soviet Oil Output Gains :I The Bot Fly pest of last summer is lbeing carried over, to assert itself â€"again during the coming July and Augâ€" _ust. ‘The carryâ€"over condition is in the form of grubs or larvae 1 located in the stomach of nearly every farm horse. This annoying pest could be gotten rid of entirely, if every horse in the Proâ€" ‘vlnco was dosed once each year, with ,cubon-dlsulphlde. January is a good month to go after bots, as the greatest ,uumber are found at that time in the lutomach of the horse. ‘This treatment, if repeated once a year for three l years, would result in a clean up of }thh pest to horses, that causes much annoyance in its fly stage. The bot grubs are responsible for unthrift, diâ€" gestive disturbances, colic and someâ€" times death of the horse. Horses that do not stand up under spring work are usually heavily infested with bots. Carbon disulphide should be adminisâ€" ‘tered in a strong capsule, by a skilled veterinary. It is 100 per cent. efficient against bots and is also effective against any round worms that may be present. . Every bot grub that gets away in the manure, will, if conditions are favorable, convert into a bot fiy, to pester horses next summer, Kill the grubs now when they are all loâ€" cated in the stomach of the horse.
