The man who has ever bred pure

CURING STOMACH
WORMS IN SHEEP
BY FRANK KLEINHElNZ,
College of Agriculture.

WISCONSIN NOilSSS OF H9IlCNiIoiS.
Every year stomach worms cause a
large loss to Wisconsin f1ockmasters.
However, if the ewes and lambs are
provided with new pastures each
spring, and the lambs changed to fresh
pasture and green rape at weaving
time, little trouble from stomach
worms will be experienced. This
worm, which is hair-like object about
an inch long attached to the lining of
the fourth stomach or floating in
brownish liquor, develops from eggs
taken by the lambs from old, tainted
pastures or in contaminated drinking
water.
Lambs infested with this parasite
fail to thrive. lack appetite, are dull,
thirsty, and weak, and may have
diarrhoea AS their condition grows
worse, the wool becomes harsh, the
skin pale, and the lining of the eye
lids white and pale in color. The,
sheep also show an unnatural desire
to eat earth. At this stage the most
characteristic symptom of the trouble
is the appearance Of a dropsical swell
ing under the jaw.
Gasoline, bGnZine, or turpentine have
proved good remedies at the Univer-
sity Of Wisconsin. Gasoline has been
the favorite one and has been most
commonly used for both stomach and

GROWING CLOVER
FOR SEED AND FEED
BY PROF. r. A. MOORE,
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.

Farmers who live a considerable
distance from market find it espe-
cially desirable to grow clover for
seed, as a single load will sell for sew.
eral hundred dollars. Although clover
seed will grow almost anywhere in
the state, the best yields are reported
from the heavier clay soils.
seeds, no timothy should be grown
with the clover. A good yield is de-
pendent on a thick sand, which in
turn is dependent upon seed of high
vitality planted in ground which has
been well cultivated
The clover should be harvested
when the seed is well formed and
the heads nearly all ripe. Generally,
with medium red, the second growth
is cut for seed and where this is done
the first cutting is taken for hay when
the clover is in full bud and a few
heads in full blossom. If harvested
too early, the seed will be small and
light, while if left too late before cut
ting there will be much seed wasted
by the clover heads breaking off in
handling.
The crop should be left in punches
from five to ten days, depending on
the weather. If rain intervenes, the
punches may be turned with a fork
1t is best to hull directly from the
field. 1t is also good plan to have a
tight rack in which to haul the clover
so as to save the clover heads. If it is
not possible to get the crop hulled as
soon as dry, the clover should be
stored in barn with good floor, and
a tight roof. If necessary to stack
the stack should be well covered with
boards, canvas, marsh hay or other
material that will keep the moisture
from entering.
If the clover has been properly
handled the straw has considerable
feeding value and may be fed to cat
tie and sheep. If, however, it has
been left in the rain for a long time.
the straw has little value for feeding
purposes. 1t is always valuable for
bedding, however, as it is a good alb
sorbent of liquids.

worm found in the air passages of the
lungs, is a common cause of cough.
Turpentine is popular remedy, be-
ing given in the slop for three sue
cessive mornings at the rate of one
teaspoonful for each 80 pounds live
weight. Sulfate of iron (copperas)
is an effective remedy, if given as
follows: Dissolve copperas in warm
water and mix in the slop at the rate
of one dram for each 100 pounds of
body weight CT hogs, and continue this
for five successive mornings. Repeat
as required. Either turpentine or
copperas may be given occasionally
as preventives in herds where worms
have been prevalent. 1t is best not to
give these drugs to pregnant sows. In
bad cases, where immediate action is
imperative, affected pigs should be
starved for IL hours, after which give
eight grains of santonin and five grains
of calomel for every 100 pounds of live
weight should be administered in a
little slop. Santonin is a somewhat
dangerous drug unless used strictly
in accordance with the proportion
mentioned here. Separate pigs into
lots of five when administering worm
medicine in slop.

the market price of live fowls. The
average price per bird would not be
over rs or 80 cents. The well-bred
bird has a value over the market
price and many are unwilling to pay
from SO to SIS for bird that has been
bred carefully for fancy purposes. In
time, however, this standpoint changes
and he sees where the value is. 1t is
then that he is willing to pay even
twice the first named price for birds.
The time was when S. was an enor-
nous price for male, but now five
times that sum is not out of the ordi-
nary. When one buys such birds he
not only pays for that particular bird,
but he pays for the breeding of sew
eral generations back. Good breed
ing counts and cannot be bought for
market values. When you buy, get
the best you can possibly afford and
do not put up with inferior stock
Poor stock is high at any price.
