and worms in hogs:
Z There are but three diseases requiring

worms in the kidneys, commonly called

as soon as you see the hog begin to droop
and try to vomit, gag him, and give him
twenty grains of calomel made into pill.
If you have been in the habit of giving
your hogs spirits of turpentine at the rate
of OLE tablespoonful to the hog, put 1t on
corn, and you will rarely be troubled with
this fatal disease.

dragging their hind legs. This is caused
by worms in the kidneys, and may be
easily cured by giving tablespoonful Of
turpentine every morning for three or -four
days mixed with corn. Hogs which have
been feeding on acorns are most subject to
this disease, and should have the turpen-
tine at least twice week while feeding on
this mast. Every hog-feeder should keep
a bottle of the spirits of turpentine, and
give it occasionally through the year ht
