Ox | warbles are the whittish grubs or maggots which develop from the cggs deposited by certain flies known as warble flies or heel flies and which injure ‘the hides, reduce milk fow and retard the growth of the animals The maggots are commonly found just below the skin on the backs of cattle, in the spring. Their presence is revealed by local swellings about the size of pigeons’ eggs, each with a small central hole or perforation through which the maggot breaths 'rom this hole the maggot, when mature, emerges to enter the ground and change to the adult or fly stage. When full grown the grub is about three-fourths ofan inch in length. a gru OLD FRENCH CUSTOM SUSPENDED BY WAR Practice of Exchanging Visiting Cards at Beginning of New Year M Never Be Revived. Becoming General. the past trouble from the bles has largely been confined to attle in the South, but recently the | Bureau of KEntomology has discover- ed that a second species, herctofore not found in this country but known to be even a more serious pest, in Europe, than is our native warble has become well established in cer- tain districts in the northern part of the United States. While it is prob- able that this so-called European ox warble will not be of as great im- portance in the Southern part of the United States as the species al- ready established, there is every rea- €on to believe that unless checked it will become generally distributed throughout the northern half of the | country. This European species is now generally distributed throughout New York and the New England ates, and a few specimens have been obtained from western Penn- sylvania, western Maryland, southern Michigan, eastern Towa and MisscSiri and western Washington. Attention is also directed to the fact that this species is now generally distributed throughout southern Canada. The Department, therefore, is calling 1- tention at this time to the danger of spreading this species promiscuously about the country, and is urging cat- tle owners to take the simple means v to prevent its spread. Warbles Are Serious. Until recently warbles wer: nog regarded as serious even in the South, because it was thought that the loss they occasioned came principally from the damage they did to hide Even this loss in the aggregate, how- ever, is important, as hides show warble holes three to six months in the year and dealers pay from 50 cents to $1.50 less for hides that show even moderate warble infesta- tion. In many the left after the holes have healed cause | buyers to cut prices considerabl The loss from the warble, however, by no means limited to the holes the maggots cut in the hides. Exten- investigations in Germany and Denmark indicate that the losses through reduction in milk supply in dairy cattle, the retardation of growth ir young stock, and the loss of flesh in all classes of animals are two-fold greater than the damage done to the hides. In some of these tests the carly extraction of the grubs from the bac of infested cattle resulted (Correspondence of the Asso. Press.)
