Lectures On Veterinary Science.

Extract from a lecture delivered BY the Dr.
Dadd:
After alluding to the case, nature and treat
1nent of colo, the doctor stated that the bots
originated from the larya Of the gad fly, which
being deposited on the sides and fore extremities
OF the horse in the form OF nhs, are licked oil
ly the tongue of the horse, and thus pass into
the stomach, and finally assume the form OF Il
full grown bot, and that when capable of
exercising an independent life, they leave the
stomach, their natural haJi1ijoa, By the
alimentary passage and rectum, burroW into
the earth and there undergo sort OF meta
morphosis, acquire wings, and in their turn
depost nits, and thus pcrpetuatc the species.
He proved, bevond a doubt, that they seldom
do any harm, and quoted from authorities to
their general innocuouSness That while in
the stomach they cannot produce pain as is
generally supposed, because they are located
on the cuticular division, portion OF the
stomach as insensble as the lining of the
membrane of the fowls gizzard, and that if
ever found to have burrowed through the walls
of the stomach into the abdominal cavity, they
were there from the force of circumstances,
occurring in the death of the horse, from
peculiar causes, or from drenching the animal
If a horse happens to have a sudden attack
of collie. or any other acute disease, and should
turn his head towards the side expressive of
the pains aud agony experienced, many people
lump into the conclusion that the horse is
afflicted with the bots, and all the " hnor
Somcthings" seem to favor the opinion, aud
will scarcely believe otherwise but this results
from that backward mode Of reasoning, that
compes us to look upon the error, rather than
embrace the light of Science.
The horse may be destroyed by powerful
medicines, but the bot being the monarch OF
his own domicil the stomach, can refuse the
dose you offer him.
The best way to rid the horse Of the bots
is to turn him into pasture in the spring, at
which time the bot comes to maturity, and
will then vacatc his stronghold.
Bots cannot be killed by poisons, for they
will live and grow fat on turpentine, and even
on some of the mineral acids so that is folly
to attempt their expulsion.
1t was proved that ali animals as we'll as
man, are more or less pestered with various
kinds of parasites, and they seldom do harm
That the pig was often infested with animalcuIa,
so that its body was surcharged with the same,
and this gave to pork that peculiar appearance
known as measles
The lecture was concluded with some very
interesting remarks on animal physiology
After which, at the request of person present,
the anatomy and physiology of the foot, and
the various methods of shoeing were discussed.

CAPITAL IN FARMSG.-The leading error of
the young farmers Of our country is in not
counting the COST The first thing they do
is to expcnd not only all their capital in buying
as large farm as possible, bat most usually
they run largely into debt Their desire for
large possessions leave them nothing to stock
and improve the farm, and hence for many
years, while loaded with dscouraeing debt,
their farms remains poorly provided with ami
mails with good implements, and with a good
supply of manure. They are, therefore compell-
ed to perform all their operations to great dis
advantage their small crops afford no net
profits, and they become discouraged and lose
the energy and enterprise essential to success.
These causes are the most fruitful source of
poor and slipshod farming in America 1t is
not very difficult, in traversng the country, to
point out among the various occupants of the
the land from the appearance of the premises,
such as are burdened with heavy debt, from
those who have good supply of spare capital
