Th black blowfly, the bluebottle

presence of the flies ln abnormally
large numbers. To prevent uie ui ecu

that carcasses be burnea or oumu,

usual in towns or cities, attention
must be given to the proper disposal
of garbage, as they will breed in the
meat scraps in garbage cans or u
dumps as well as in carcasses.
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..
