Grubs n the Backs of Cattle.

AS usual at this season, correspondents
are inquiring about the grubs or worms

are the young or larval form of the
~'trus bowls, or gadfy of the OK, which
chase and seriously harm cattle, while
leaving their eggs in summer and
autumn. Where the flies abound thew

extreme cases cause much fever and

of Larvae under the skin. But as the 1y

larval form in the skin, it is easilv killed

the 'ntegument. The parasites will be
found mainly in the back, and should

compression of the adjacent skin, and

transformation into the fly. II the hole

with penknife SO az to allow the easy
escape of the grub. The destruction of
these parasites by introducing caustic
liquids or red-bot irons into the sacks is
not to be commended, as it leaves mass
of dead matter in the sore to undergo
putrefactlon, and develops an amount of
surrounding Inflammation that is alto
gether unnecessary.
