their calves to lie again molested,, even when 
running with hundreds of “warbly” cattle. 
I used to remove the pests l>y squeezing them 
up about one-sixteenth of an inch with one 
hand, and pulling them out (tweezer fashion) 
with the thumb and finger nail of the other, 
when a little more than half grown. The puzzle 
to me is how do they propagate. 
R, N.-Y.—As warbles are the larva;, or 
grubs, of the cattle gad-fly, and this pest is 
quite “numerous” each Summer, we really 
cannot see how animals that have been at¬ 
tacked once can possess immunity from at¬ 
tacks thereafter, and still less how their calves 
can he equally fortunate. Even jf the fl ies that 
had found a resting place as larvae in the 
back of any particular animal were mindful 
and considerate enough not to plague it or its 
offspring, for the sake of “auld langsyne,” 
others would have uo such reason for grateful 
recollection. An attack of small-pox, whoop¬ 
ing cough, scarlatina, or measles, it is true, 
renders the subject “proof” against nil subse¬ 
quent infection, probably by effecting such 
changes in some sensitive part or property of 
the human system as either to remove it alto¬ 
gether or render it callous or unsusceptible to 
future forms of infection, in the shape of 
either spores, bacilli or other scientific terrors; 
but this is the case only in infectious auil con- 
tagnus diseases, and “warbles” have not. 
hitherto been placed in this category. As to 
their mode of propagation, see “Grubs in the 
Backs of Cattle,” olsewhere in this depart¬ 
ment. 
YELLOWS IN THE PEACH. 
Eli Minch, Shiloh, N. J.—A late Rural 
quotes me as saying that I do “not believe that 
s ?eds frmn trci s having the yellows wf 11 produce 
unhealthy trees, 1 ’ and that from such seeds I 
agree to grow fine healrjiy seedlings; also that 
I deem the man who contends that the “yel¬ 
lows” is a contagious disease, a dangerous 
character. The quotation is correct I will 
do what I agree to do as therein stated. There 
is no trouble if the soil and climate are favor¬ 
able—that is, if the latter is not too severe, 
aud the former not too wet for growing health v 
peach seedlings from seeds of trees affected 
with the yellows. The use of sufficient; potash 
and bone will grow healthy trees in all cases, 
as 1 know front a thorough trial in growing 
the peach. So much is said ubout the contag¬ 
ious nature of the yellows, without any found¬ 
ation, and so many are scared thereby so that 
they are deterred from growing peaches, and 
thus rob themselves of one of t he most delicious 
fruits, that I must contend that those who 
maintain the contagiousuess of the yellows 
are not only mistaken, but dangerous by then- 
teachings. After a vast deal of trouble with 
the yellows, practical experience has taught 
me that by the use of proper fertilizers there 
is no trouble in growing peaches fromtho seeds 
of diseased trees, and I guarantee to grow 
healthy trees from seeds from the fruit of trees 
affected with the yellows. 
T. T. L., South Haven, Mich,—On page 
220, Mr. Minch is made to say, "he does not 
iK'lieve that peach seeds, from trees having 
the yellows, will produce unhealthy trees; •’ 
and that “he deems the man who contends 
that it is a contagious disease a dangerous 
character." I will not pretend to know what 
Mr. Minch calls “yellows;” but, as it is known 
among Michigan orchardiste, the man who, 
in the face of our experiences with it, would 
question its contagious character, would be 
considered proof against the evidence of facts. 
My observation 1ms shown that seeds of peach 
trees badly diseased with yellows, rarely, if 
ever, contain germs; aud of course will not 
grow. A few years siuee, I saved a bushel or 
more of seed from what appeared to be a 
healthy tree. The seed was planted the fol¬ 
lowing Spring, aud made but feeble growth, 
with nbuudnnt indications of yellows; and 
during the same season the parent tre • pro¬ 
duced a crop of fruit unmistakably diseased. 
This satistied me that the disease had been 
latent in the tree the previous season, and had 
imparted the contagion to the Reed of the 
previous year, but failed of outward mani¬ 
festation till the following year.
