CESSATION OF Swine.

Sows vary about Is days in the time
of carrying their pigs. AS a general
thing young sows farrow earlier than
old sows. About 100 days is the short
est time in which healthy young sow
should farrow. Some young sows carry
their pigs for 105 or LOG days. With
old sows there is a variation of hard
ly more than three days. The least
time healthy, mature SOW should
carry her pigs is LIP days. This may
be extended to lis days. Old sows
that are strong and vigorous carry
their pigs little longer than sows
that are only in fair flesh and vigor.
The advantage seems to be with the
SOW that carries her pigs longest.

Stretches

At this season of the year complaints
are numerous from sheep owners re-
garding a sickness of their pregnant
ewes that they do not understand. The
sheep drop behind, lose appetite, stretch.
lie down fiat, then rise, stretch and lie
down again and die in a few days. We
nave attributed all of these cases to
the feeding of dry folders without
succulent food of some sort to keep the
bowels properly open, but we now find
that there is In almost every case mod
ular disease of the intentines," which
Is Que to the worm known as oesopha-
gastoma columbianum. The character
lstlcs OF the presence of this parasite
are small greenish Jumps or lunches
upon the lining of the small intestines
and while thousands of apparently
healthy sheep are killed at the large
slaughter houses showing the presence
OF these nodules and no i'll results
from them, there can be no doubt that
IN ewes at least they cause complica-
lions which kill in many instances.
We have advised in these columns that
pregnant ewes should be fed upon sue
culent foods along with the best Of
hay and some grain such as crushed
oats and bran or oilmeal. but some
times there is need Of medicine, and
this is the case when symptoms such as
those mentioned above are seen. An
Arkansas correspondent writes that he
has had the best Of success since he
commenced giving zenoleum for this
complaint and now he gives it as a
preventative: When sheep are seen to
be Ill he gives one teaspoonful or even
more for very large sheep and mixes
1t in three tablespoonfuls of milk. This
Is given as drench and is to be re-
peated in "a hours and again in 40
hours if the first two doses are not
effective, but as rule there is no need
OF giving more than two doses, accord
ing to his experience. He says that he
has given this treatment to pregnant
ewes some time prior to parturition,
and when done carefully there need be
no loss of lambs as the medicine is
harmless and the only danger is from
struggling or rough handling OF the
ewes. We hope that our readers will
give this treatment trial in addition
to giving the change Of food as sug-
gested. !
