tlie leaflets. If the farmers and graziers would only carefully study 
them, much of the mistiness which appears to envelope the intellects 
of some of their number in regard to this fly would be cleared away.

“ Buyers of their cattle ought never to miss an opportunity of 
drawing their attention to the leaflet. (Butchers are negligent as well 
as farmers.) The descriptions of the fly and maggot are so clear, and the 
remedies so easily procured and so very cheap, that nothing but down¬ 
right idleness, ignorance or wilful neglect, can account for the preva¬ 
lence of this fly. If a determined stand was made by all tanners not 
to buy warbled hides, we butchers would soon turn our faces from 
beasts with warbled backs and purchase only at a figure allowing for 
the hide. This kind of thing would best tend to bring negligent 
feeders to their senses, and cause them to keep a better look-out ove* 
their persecuted stock. Of the enormous number of leaflets distributed, 
very many must have come into hands which have followed the 
instructions and greatly benefited thereby. But dispelling ignorance 
of any kind has always been a slow game.”—(C. C.) 
The leaflets referred to (namely, one on Warble attack and means 
of prevention and remedy, and one on “ Licked Beef,” both fully 
illustrated) I shall be happy to continue to send gratuitously to all 
applicants who desire them for use themselves, or for distribution.
