BOT FLY IN HORSES.
On the subject of bot fly in horses, a well-known Sydney medical man sends the following to the " Daily Telegraph ": and remedies for the same, one which I used to see employed in the old country seems to be unknown here. A quantity of the young shoots and branches of the furze or gorse were pounded in a large stone mortar with a heavy wooden mallet. When the thorny mass was sufficiently broken up it was mixed with a little oats. The horse ate this with relish. I have seen large quantities of the larvas passed after a feed or two of the furze."
