OK MARBLES ARE INJURIOUS
Flies Cause Serious Losses In Cattle
Every Year-May Be Controlled
by Squeezing 0rubs Out.

OK MARBLE flies, which cause serious
losses in cattle every year, may be
largely controlled by squeezing the
grubs out of infested animals during
the early spring months. The eggs
are laid during the summer mainly
upon the hair on the legs Of cattle.
The young maggots are found in the
gullet from September to February,
after which they appear under the
hide. Small Jumps on the back indi-
cate the position Of the grubs.
Hides are reduced in value from one
to two cents a pound by the presence
Of OK MARBLES. Flesh is sometimes so
damaged as to be unfit for sale. Milk
production is lessened by the presence
Of numerous grubs. Cattle in general
are annoyed seriously by these war
bles. Removing and destroying all the
grubs from infested cattle will reduce
the number Of ~egg-laying females for
next summer.

a winter of doubt, and only by strict
est attention to the matter was &C
tual privation avoided. Men would
drive in from the country for many
miles after a load of coal, and go
back home empty handed to chop
wood. And when word went out
again that a car of coal had arrived
in Blackfoot they would hitch up
and try again. Town residents were
perfectly willing to. hire drays and
pay drivers for their time to wait in
the coal. lines. All looked forward
to the summer, when they would
store plenty of coal for next winter.
Summer is here and the situation is
not improved much.
1t is up to us all to stop wasting.
But 1t is not fair for those who have
the chance and the means to go to
storing coal in abundance while it is
yet scarce on the market. That up
sets the whole system of distribution.
1t is not patriotic to upset anything
just now. This nation, from house
to house, can save enough coal be-
tween now and Christmas to leave
plenty for all until summer again.
There Is no one to stand yer us and
make us do it, but our individual
responsibility is appealed to, and
that has got to be sufficient.
