But what causes these worms TO lodge
in the windpipe and lungs is yet mys-
terry, although there is a theory that the
sheep in feeding on grass late in the
summer, swallow the egg of fly, these
eggs being deposited on grass in low
places during ihot. sultry days. These
eggs lodging in the throat cause the
sheep 70 cough, and thus are snuffed in
the windpipe and there hatch out, being
fully developed in late winter. Another
theory is that the hy lays eggs in the
nostrils of the sheep, and they are
snutfed into the windpipe. Which ever
theory may be correct, or if neither, II
