Bot Fly.
A number of farmers have lost some valuable horses owing to the bot fifly, and one owner suggests as a good remedy that the horse attacked with bot fly be starved until the stomach is practically empty. Then a drench of three quarts of milk, in which a suitable medicine has been mixed, should be given to the horse. He has found this effectual in the case of his own horses, and recommends it. A useful precaution is the application as a wash of a solutoin of sheep dip to the horse's jaws and cheeks.
