Keep Hogs Free From Worms.

Hogs on the farm are likely to be
infested with worms during the hot
summer months s., y These E; may easily be
expelled with a,Ssimple remedy recon-
mended by the veterinary section OF
the Iowa experiment station at Ames.
The formula is santonin, S grains;
areca nut, 3 drains; calomel, 3 grains,
and sodium bicarbOnate, l dram.
This amount constitutes dose for
a 100 pound pig. Twice as much IS
recommended for 200 pound pig and
21a times as much for a 800 pound
animal. When this remedy is used by
the animal husbandry men at the
Iowa station, feed is withheld for at
least IS hours before feeding the mix.
