BEST TREATMENT FOR collie
Improper Feeding Is Most Common
Cause Of Troubie-Physic Of
Salts or Oil Is Favored.

by L. L. LEWIS. Oklahoma Experiment
Station)
Collie in horses and cattle Is from
various causes. but is more particu.
larly due to sudden changes in feed
or to eating more feed than can be
easily digested by the animal at that
time. The amount of feed that an ami
nal may digest at one time under
certain conditions may be entirely too
much under other conditions. Since
collie may be caused by so many differ
ent things, no one remedy will prove
effective in all cases.
AS a general rule, most OF the COLES
that are seen in farm stock are due to
improper feeding. In those cases the
best general treatment that might be
used would be to give as early as pos
sible a physic Of salts or oil. To re-
lieve the pain seen particularly in
spasmodic collie. the safest general
treatment that can be used is to give
from one to one and one-half ounce
of choral hydrate, dissolved in a pint
of water, to which has been added one
teaspoonful of ground ginger.
Do not give Iaudanum in such cases.
as it only tends to produce constipa-
ton, and on this account is one of the
poorest remedies that you can use

have found very effective meth
cd OF letting the hogs keep them
selves free from lice. Set several short
posts in the yards and pastures. Wrap
the pests with old sacks; and then
once a week saturate these sacks with
crude oil or one of the coal tar dips.
The louise bites the hog. he rubs the
spot on the sack, and the oil or dip
kills the louise. Simple. isn't 1t?

if one has ten acres Of land that
