There can be no doubt that intestinal
worms are the source of very severe
losses, and. as they give rise to symp

of cholera, the hogs that die from
worms are very often thought to have

Government Publication Arouses Pub
lio to Destroy Breeding Places.
Files of every species nnd the annoy
ances tlnty cause man and beast as
well as their capacities for spreading
disease are described in detail In the
year book of the department of agri
culture.
Horseflies, gadflies and enrflles, the
botfly, the hornfly, the housefly and
the Btnble fly have been made the sub
ject of careful study by the department
of agriculture experts nnd are certain
to be more feared by citizens when the
damage which they are capable of caus
ing is better understood and appreciat
ed by the public.
To the group of Insects known ns
horseflies, gadflies and earflies is at
tributed the transmission of certain
blood discuses of live stock. Among
the most important of these is the
deadly disease known ns anthrax.
Botflies burrow into the flesh of
horses and cnttle, while the hornfly,
one of the most injurious insects in the
country, also confines its attack princi
pally to live stock. The losses sustain
ed are entirely due to the worrimeiit
and Irritation produced by the bites of
the fly and by extraction of blood.
The stable fly, u close relative of the
housefly, is distinguished, from the lat
ter by Its prominent piercing mouth
parts. All nnimnls, including man. are
attacked by this insect.
The best way to prevent the stable
fly, the government authorities point
out, is to destroy the breeding places
of the insects. Itefuse should not be
allowed to collect in stables, while
structures In which horses and cows
are housed should be screened the same
as dwellings. It Is stated.
