STOMACH WORM DOES HARM
Parasites Often Draw So Heavily Up
on Lambs as to Cause Emscla- q
tlon and Finally Death. -.

Like the hog, the sheep has It's Pc
culiar ailments which sometimes re.
suit in loss as wen as encouragement.
Unlike the ailments of the hog, how
ever, those of the sheep are ordinarily
not contagious, and the means neces-
sary to prevention are the same as
should be adopted for the most eco
nomical production, even In health.
The most serious menace to continu.
GUS thrift in the flock is the presence
of internal parasites, chiefly stomach
worms. The eggs of the stomach worm
are dropped upon the ground with the
feces from infected sheep. The small
worms are swallowed with the grass
three or four days after Matching from
the eggs, and reach the stomach.
Stomach worms are frequently present
in such large numbers as to draw so
heavily from the circulation as to
cause emaciation and finally death Of
the lamb. Mature sheep are much less
affected by these worms, though they
usually scatter the eggs.
Keeping the flock upon crops sown
upon plowed land prevents infection.
Such practice also furnishes the great
est amount of feed from each acre,
and the kind and variety of food upon
which sheep thrive best. Flowing the
land prevents danger from stomach
worm eggs dropped upon it. In warm
weather the flock should be moved to
fresh ground every ten days or two
weeks to prevent infection of lambs
by larvae from eggs dropped from the
ewes. If lambs are by themselves the
time between changes might be long
er, but in most forage crop rotations
I changes will need to be made every
two or three weeks. Fall sown rye,
spring oats and vetches or peas, rape,
cowpeas, soy beans, crimson or Japan
clover planted at proper intervals, will
furnish fresh pasturage at times de-
sired. Some of the land can be used
twice In year, as by having one
planting Of rape upon the rye ground.
The cultivation Of the land destroys
all infection from previous pasturing.
Under such" system of cropping and
grazing the land will improve, as the
manurial value of the crops is prac.
tically all left upon the land and ia
very evenly distributed. ! S;s:1

SKINNED MILK FED TO HOGS

Cause Constipation. y

One hundred pounds OF skinned
milk has feeding value equivalent
to one-half bushel Of corn. One hum
dred pounds Of skinned milk is worth
five times the price paid per pound
for live hogs. and whey is worth
about one-half as much as skinned

Milk carries the bone and teeth

the cream is extracted from it, it
throws It out of balance to some ex-

This can easily be remedied by intro

places the fat at less than two cents
"a pound, instead Of the butter which
is worth 80 cents per pound.
