Prevention of the malady hence depends upon getting Yid cf the par lT at least the harmful num ber. This is best done by the admin-'.sirati-.-n of carbon-bisulphide in two to three drachm des-s, the same on an empty stomach. This drug can only be administered by means of capsules which will allow it to be. taken into the stomach and v. nen di verted there, the drug will be re leased and will exert its influence on the parasites. After a rest of twenty-four hours, animals should be giv en three drachms of tartar emetic in a Dint of sweet milk. This should hA iHvan on an eniDty stomach.

It is not known whether or not the particular species of bot fly carries a poisonous virus or organism that is transmitted to the host through its attachment to the lining wall of the stomach, or wheth er it secretes a poisonous product which when absorbed produces the characteristic train of symptoms. It U possible that the condition is large ly due to a mechanical Irritation and Interference that takes place in the stomach. In Eastern Oregon from May until late in November the climatic condi tions are such that the bot fly can live. Inasmuch as the majority of Eastern Oregon horses are allowed to inhabit pastures it is thought that an unusual opportunity is thus afford ed for a very long period of egg lay ing en the part of the bot fly and the consequent opportunity for infesta tion on the part of the exposed hor ses. . Mules are apparently imnun" to this trouble and the raaiority of text books do not indicate tin nniv? es bein highly susceptible to bat in festation. It is possible this wirtl'T, lar species of bot does no'. 1 4 tot the mule. The condition rf soil in ern Oregon is particularly favorable to moulting of the bot parasite:-. The ground is soft and the puna can eas ily work its way into the soil and un dergo development there. r'e dis ease is apparently not caused by the presence alone of bots but by a cer tain harmful number. It would seem that if the number of infesting bots are kept down to a certain percentage that the animal is able to resist their presence. When this number reach- tar emetic treatment.

When stock foods containing these ingredients are given animals over a considerable length of time they seem to greatly aid in the ex pulsion of bots and animals that have been so treated seem to resist this malady completely. As a precautionary measure it would be well to clip the superfluous and long hairs from the legs, breast, and particularly around the mouth and face. It might be possible to sin n these hairs and prevent the bot fly from laying its eggs upon them. . 'i-" 'rt' -curried and kept in ' stn'ile s;em to be quite free from a'.' asks of walking disease.
