Drenching With Copper sulphate Is
Recommended by Animal Hus-
bandmen at Ohio Station.


Stomach worms and tapeworms,
which cause enormous losses to sheep
raisers each year, may be treated sat
isfactorily by drenching with copper

triton and general weakness are symp-
toms of these pests in sheep.
For 8 to 20 hours before treatment
the sheep are tasted. They are then
drenched with bottle or with a rub
Der tube and funnel. Two fluid ounces
of solution made by dissolving an
ounce of copper sulphate (blue Wit
rioD in two quarts of water is suf6-

ercise and Good Feed.

for during the winter months it is
necessary that she have suitable shell
ter, proper amount of exercise and
that she be fed not only literally but
upon feeds that furnish the necessary
nutrients required by the pregnant
SOW.
Suitable shelter can be supplied by
hoghouses of various types and the
style of house used will depend upon
the conditions existing upon any GER

Is used it should be well ventilated,
dry and well lighted. Portable houses

CLOVER AND ALFALFA VALUE
Rouqhage Used in Feeding Tests With
Lambs at the Ohio Expert
ment Station.

When both roughages were of equal
quantity, clover and alfalfa had about
equal values for fattening lambs in
feeding tests at the Ohio experiment
station.
Alfalfa usually is harvested in bet
ter condition than clover, and COM
mands higher price on the market.
The results of these feeding tests
justify warning to feeders not to
cvervalue alfalfa to the extent of feed
ing an inferior grade of this hay when
good clover may be had at lower
price.-Ohio Experiment Station.

 Stefansson left Victoria June 1S 1913, aboard the Karluk, and after many difficulties went into Banks land. where he made his headquar- ters for the first two years. The fact that he arrived at Ft. Yukon indicates that he was unsuccessful in his intention of making his west ward trip through the northeast pas sage from Melville Island.

He probably crossed Rat Portage and dropped down the Pc. cupine to Ft Yukon. The explorer will come through Fairbanks enrout to the States.
