An exchange gives in its experience in

prOnounces it rs excellent feed if cut
when coming into ear. This has been
used both for horses and cows. The

horse CAD fly CEstruS c1tpsJ, and are in
Il condition exactly equivalent TO that
of the caterpillar Of Il moth or butter
fly. They therefore can not breed on
reproduce themselves in the stomach Of
q horse, being imperfect insects and in
capable Of breeding. 1t is easier TO
prevent their presence in the horses

the natural history of the insects and
animals with which he comes in contact;
then he would know how to treat them
with propricty.
