SIR,— Will you allow me through your valuable columns, to answer the many enquiries as to the time for giving horses Walker's Bot-fly Remedies, as horses have been lost at all times of the year but more especially from harvest on to November. The best time to secure the horse m safety is to drench any time t after harvest For instance, a good many horses have died jost now. that if they had been drenched m time would have been hardy and well. Mr T. 0. Gorman, Southbridge, lost a splendid mare a few weeks ago. looking hearty and well but took bad m the plough, was taken out and died the nex r. day m awful agony. The stomach, when opened, was found quite like a riddle with the contents outside the stomach and the rest of the stomach covered with bots. Mr Fair weather lost a valuable carriage horse 26th May last, at Amberhsy, the stcmach all eaten through, leaving no doubt as to the bots causing death. Mr Sanderie, contractor, Leeston, lost a splendid horse three weeks ajj<\ this being the fourth he has lost. Like many, he got an idea that l-ots did no harm, but he assured me that che sight of this stomach quite convinced him to ih« contrary, and tnat he would use Walker's botfly Remedies m fuhirr. Miss Button, Poel Forest, lam informed lost her valuabla hunter the other day and when dissected, the stomach was ali-o found eaten through, satisfying all that ihv bots alone caused death. So that from this on, eas*>s will be numerous as was la^t two years unless horses are at one* drenched. Owners therefore, that wish to make certain cf saving their horses shouM lose no time m drenching. I am certain, had those horses that died b«en drenched m time every hone wou'd have been hearty and well. I guarantee a certain cure if the horse is drenched m time ?nd as directed.
