tnx A. s. .ALExANpE

The hog louise is common cause Of
thriftlessness in young pigs and when
numerous, tends to retard theiI
growth. It is advisable and mos,
profitable to keep swine free from lice
at all ages and stages of their exist
ence and development so far as pos
sible. To this end their houses, pens
and sleeping places should frequently
Nbe cleaned and disinfected, the wood
work whitewashed, the bedding mate
rial kept fresh, clean and dry and the
yards free from accommodations of lit
ter and filth.
1t is impossible to keep hogs free
from lice without maintaining SAM
tary conditions in their quarters and
in attempting to rid them Of these
pests the treatment must include moi
only the hogs, but practically every
thing with which they come in con
tact daily.
