Symptoms.-The worms fasten
themselves to the inside Of the wind
pipe by means of six sharp teeth. This
wounds the inside of the windpipe
from which they suck blood. This
gives the worms their red color. AS the
worm begins to develop, the young
chick will be noticed to sneeze and
cough, due to the irritation caused by
the worms. In two or three days the
worm develops to its full size and the
chick will stand and open its mouth
and gasp for breath, since the worms
are SO large that they partly close up
the windpipe. Finally the chick be.
comes so weak that it leaves the rest
of the brood, crawls away and dies.
Preventive Measures.-M 0 i Is ture
and sunshine will hatch the eggs that
are on the ground. 1t is best to keep
they are old and strong enough to re-
sist the worm The floors and yards
should be sprinkled frequently with a
solution of one tablespoonful of creo-
lin to one gallon of water. This will
kill the young worms as fast as they
are Matched.
Treatment.-The usual treatment
Is to remove the cape worms by us!
ing a horse hair doubled and twisted
so as to form a loop. A better method
| is to take blue grass or red top stem
and head and trim it as shown in the
cut. This is sitter and more certain
to get the worms the first time. The
operator should take a seat on stool,
hold the affected chicks feet between
the knees, grasp the chick behind the
| Jaws using the little and next finger,
open and hold the jaws with the thumb
and first finger Now stretch UP the
neck carefully and with .just-a little
care you can see the red worms by
looking down the little hole that opens
and closes every time the chick
breathes Pass the horse hair or blue
grass stem down the little hole about
three inches and twist it around sew
eral times until the chich hops its
wings frantically. Then Withdraw
hair or stem and the worms will be
fastened to it. After you secure the
worms, place them on dry piece of
paper and then burn them. so as to
kill the eggs. All young chicks that
die should also be burned.-Dr. C. A.
