Remedy for the Bots.

Our friend, H. W. L. Lewis, con-
tributes the following to the Son of
the Soil:
| know that there is a difference of
opinion as TO whether bots are inju-
rious to horses or not. Believing
that they are, do not propose to dis
cuss the question, bnt will give some
experiments made with them.
Last fall a neighbours horse died,
as he supposed, from the effects of
bots. The horse was cut open, and
large numbers were found adhering
to the stomach, which was partially
destroyed by them. A number of
them were taken for experiment.
Spirits of turpentiae, tansy tea, sage
and several other things were tiled
that were said to be good for bots.
Nothing tried killed them after
twelve hours trial. Tansy tea af.
fected them most. A lot were put
into chIoroform at. they were almost
instantly quiet; after fifteen minutes
they were repeatedly washed with
water to clean them Of the chloroform,
and see if they would awake up"
but ouly one showed any signs of
life, and that very feebly.
An ounce Of chloroform given in a
half pint of water will give almost
instant relief; the bots are put to
sleep. A dose of oil, four or five
ounces, will pass them off. Frater-
nally yours. II. w. L. LEWIS.
