Worms in Hogs

The hog is more infested with in
testinal worms than any other domes-
tic animal These worms are created
by impure accumulations along the
intestinal tract and generally pro.
duced by poorly digested food The
nature of the hog and the manner Of
eating renders him more susceptible
than any other animal Under the
present domesticated conditions he is
not allowed the use of his natural in
stincts to obtain the necessary ele-
ments that would destroy these in
testinal parasites. Being shut up in
pen, he is not allowed to follow the
dictates of his nature The hog that
is Wormy can neither grow nor thrive
for the reason that the worm DESTROYS
all the effect nutrition furnished in
the food. LIQUID KOAL put in the
drinking water in the proportion OF
one quart to a barrel and given them
twice week will destroy all mites
final worms and keep them free from
their formation and multiplication. 1t
