THE HOOK WORM DISEASE

Interesting and Important Informa-
tion for Farmers and Stock Raisers
Contained in Recent Bulletins Is
sued by South Carolina Expert
ment Station.
Clemson College, Special.-The
South Carolina Experiment Station
Bulletin, No. 137, on hook-worm dis
eases in cattle, contains some import
ant information to cattlemen and far
mers of this State. The disease is
probably widely distributed over the
Southern States, though at present it
has been found over only small
area in this locality and chiefly in
low bottom lands.
The hook-worm is among the most
dangerous of parasitic worms. The
adult worms lay their eggs i'll the
small intestines of cattle. Partly in
cubated eggs reach the ground of the
pasture and grow to the final larval
stage where they are protected from
heat and cold by sheath. They
crawl to any moist object and thus
become easily accessible to the ami
mails when grazing.
Treatments for the cure of the dis
ease have so far proved generally un-
successful and the outlook is rather
discouraging; so the problem resolves
itself into the question of prevention
rather than treatment and the outlook
for prevention is more encouraging.
Remembering that the disease oc-
ours chiefly or altogether in low wet
lands and that in dry seasons it is
less severe, it appears that much can
be done by avoiding such places Ger
a year or more as pastures. Thorough
ly draining and the application of
air-slaked lime will help greatly, and
so will frequent cleaning of the lots.
Ploughing reduces the dangers of
from infested land.
since comparatively few Of the lar
vate are able to ascend to the surface
on being buried in ploughing. Hence
it is recommended that on a hook
worm infested farm crop rotation be
practiced as far as possible.
