When an animal is wounded, it is important to treat the wound in such a way as not to prevent its healing, and jet to prevent screw worms and house flies from attacking the open surfaces, laying eggs, or carrying in- fection to the animal. The screw worm, particularly, de- posits eggs in wounds, and there are other flies that may deposit their eggs in this way. The larvae or maggots hatching from these eggs infest the wound and burrow more or less ex- tensively in the surrounding tissues, so that serious damage may result. The housefly alights on wounds to suck up the exudate, and is a cause of considerable annoyance to animals. It prevents wounds from healing and may introduce agents of infection which adhere to its body. The Department of Agriculture, in a bulletin on repellents for protecting animals from the attacks of flies, quotes the following formulas for ap- plication to wounds: Jensen gives three formulas of re- pellents for application to wounds: Formula No. 1: Oil of tar 8 ounces. Cottonseed oil to make 32 ounces. Formula No. 2: Powdered naphthalin . .2 ounces. Hydrous fool fat 14 ounces. Mix into an ointment. Formula No. 3: Coal tar 12 ounces. Carbon disulphide 4 ounces. Mix; keep in a well-stoppered bot- tle and apply with a brush. Mixtures Nos. 2 and 3 are said to adhere to moist surfaces, and No. 3 is r,-jid, in addition, to form a coating over raw surfaces and protect from the screw-worm fly. The editor at the close of the arti- cle in which the above formulas are giveu adds the following formula: Oil of turpentine 1 dram. Phenol 1 dram. Cottonseed oil to make 4 oun
