JANITOR'S
BRINGS HIM S. BILL

Washington, D. c., Aug. g. Vice
President Marshall was smiling over
335 tucked away in his pocketbook
while a IS bill fairly burned a hole in
the overalls Of Billy Walker, a negro
~janitor at the capitol.
AS the vice president yesterday
whirled around in his big chair pro-
yided for the president Of the senate
through the long hours Of debate, his
pocketbook containing $40 fell out. He
did not miss it until evening. The
janitor noticed it when cleaning up
and presented it tojthe vice president
today. He received a S. bill as a re.
ward for his honesty.

be filled up. The water supply should
come from q deep well and feeding
troughs and floor kept as clean 40
possible. When possible, thr pasture
should be changed frequently. When
thorn-headed worms are present, the
hogs should not be allowed tc root
about old straw stacks and manure
piles. Flowing the hog lot will help
free it from the white grnbs and ths
eggs Of the round worm.
Medicine For Hog Worms.
For q medicinal treatment, The fol-
lowing formula is recommended:
Santonin, eight grains; calomel, one
grain; areca nut, two drams; sodium
bicarbonate, n dram.
The above quantities are for n
hog weighing 100 pounds and the
quantity should be increased Or de-
creased according to the size Of the
hogs and multiplied by their number.
The best way is to divide the hogs in.
to lots Of twenty or less, and withhold
food for twenty-four hours. Mix the
worm powder thoroughly with some
moist ground feed, and give it in such
a way that each hog will get his
share Of the medicine in the feed. This
may be repeated in three weeks il the
worms were not all removed at first.
Usually one treatment is sufficient.
Lung Worm Of Swine.
The lung worm Of swine IL fro-
quentlY so as to completely
fill the air passages. A cough results;
there may be vomiting. Quite often
the pig RECEIVERS; when there
is unthriftiness and difficult breathing
(thumps), death results aftsr )
chronic course.
To combat lung worms, keep the
pigs in . growing, healthy condition.
New pastures and new lots, well
drained, should be provided. Infested
hogs must be kept away from the new
pastures. The hog houses should be
thoroughly cleansed and disinfested.
Old pastures may be plowed and Gull
tivated to get rid Of the worms. AS
yet there no satisfactory medicinal
treatment.
