In keeping hogs in a healthy con-
dition, 1t is usually advisable to use
the formulas recommended by the
various experiment stations. 1t will
save money by buying the ingredients
at ordinary prices at any drug store
and mixing them on the farm. In
keeping hogs free from worms 1t
seems to be of the principal reasons
for buying proprietary mixtures. the
use of santonin has given satisfactory
results at small cost. To prevent
their infection from worms hogs
should be given free access to such
minerals and condiments as air
slaedk lime. charcoal, slack coal.
