as to the species. 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-

these ingredients are given animals
over a considerable length of time
they seem to greatly aid in the ex

been so treated seem to resist this
malady completely.
As a precautionary measure it
would be well to clip the superfluous
