To destroy maggots In sores the same method as for the screw worm Is to be followed. It Is not always possible to prevent maggot in festation following dehorning, but if periods of cool weather in winter are chosen for this operation usually no trouble follows. To prevent maggots from gaining entrance to wounds the application of pine tar is advised. Fol- -lowing dehorning, some advise cover ing the wounds wun pieces cloth dipped in pine tar. Many of these will remain in place several days. The tails of lambs are sometimes infested by maggots following dock ing. This can be largely prevented by removing the tails with moderately heated pincers. The docking of lambs also tends to avoid soiling of the wool during succeeding months, and this helps to prevent infestation of the rump by maggots. Other Impor tant steps in preventing wool-maggot injury are the following: UJ.. hornless sheep and thus avoid injury from horns and consequent infestation around them; (2) lamb as early in enrin? as possible considering .1 . . -! ni.nn.. -!
