TREATMENT FOR WORMS.
How sleep Afflicted with These Para
sites Are Treated mt the Ohio
Experiment station.


The full treatment recommended by
the Ohio experiment station for
worms in sheep or lambs is to put
gallon of flaxseed IN a cheesecloth
sack, and place this in kettle with
two gallons of water and let IL steep
for two hours. Then remove the bag
and let it drain thoroughly into the
kettle. When the faxseed tea Is
about as warm as freshly drawn milk
put four ounces into bottle, and add
a common tablespoonful of gasoline
for each sheep of 60 to so pounds
weight. Shake well for minute or
two, then turn into the drenching
bottle, and give to the sheep. Have
the sheep set up on its rump, and
held Between the knees, taking care
not to throw the head farther back
than the line of the back. The sheep
should be housed in the evening and
not fed before ten o'clock, when the
dose may be given. Allow them to
remain three hours longer without
food or drink, then let them feed un-
I'll evening. Repeat this treatment
for three days, and in a weeks time
give three days more of the treat
ment, and again repeat at end of ten
days more, always giving the medi-
cine after about IS hours fasting, and
fasting about three hours after civ
ing it. The faxseed tea need not
be made fresh each time, but should
be warmed every time, as the gaso-

ALLOWANCE OF GRAIN.
There Is No Standard Quantity, But
Successful Poultrymen Always
Give Regular Hntions.

There is but little difference in the
grains. In winter one quart of grain
a day for ~ hens would be about cor
rect, or, If preferred, two quarts for
rs hens, as there is no standard guam
tity or allowance. In the use of meat
meal or green bone the rule is to allow
an ounce day to each fowl, irrespec-
tive of other food, the object being to
provide nitrogen and mineral matter.
The quantity of food claimed to be re-
CURED by an animal is estimated at
about three per cent. of its live weight
daily. This merely supports life; all
increase, or any product whatever,
must be supplied by an extra allow
ance, so that 20 hens, weighing 100
pounds, would need there pints OF solid
nutritious matter daily to live, without
increase. This is equal to thrte-twen-
tieths Of pint for hen. Two-twen-
tieths of one pint, or a bout one and one
half ounces of food, are then required
every day for the production of eggs,
the total daily food requirements being
one-fourth of pint, and this is the rule
among some experienced poultry
keepers for winter feeding. One quart
of corn or other grain for eight hens is
the allowance, given at least in two
meals. and ii has been found that a
Hook OF hens, when supplied with a
constant provision of grain before
them, will sometimes consume this
quantity and no more, in addition to
what small things in the shape of in
sects, grass, etc., they may pick up;
but, as stated, al fowls are not alike,
hence allowance must be made for cir
cumstances and individuality. To avoid
overlooking the quantity should be re-
duced one-third except in severely cold
weather.-Farm and Preside.

species. 1t is easily distinguished by
the fower-stalks, which rise to the
height of one to three feet. All along
the main stem, except the lower part,
are the small spikes of flowers, ar
ranged quite close together. These
spikes are half an inch or less in
length and turned back upon the main
stem, as shown in the illustration. One
great advantage possessed by this
plant, and an advantage that is likely
to have great influence in its intro
duction as cultivated grass, is the
ease with which the seed may be gath
cred. In small quantities it can be
easily stripped off with the hands. If
cultivated the seed can be harvested
with as little difficulty as timothy.
