WORMS IN HOGS.
Remedy Suggested BY the Kansas State
Agricultural College.


Importance of increasing profits in
hog raising by eradicating the parasitic
hog worm is emphasized by Dr. r. Il.
Dykstra, professor Of surgery i'll the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
Many inquiries are being received by
the college from farmers as to the best
means OF combating this pest, which
sapS its food from the animal and thus
reduces the meat production and makes
the hog more susceptible to disease.
The hog should he starved for eight
cen hours and then fed two and one
half grains Of santonin, One-half grain
of calomel, one-half dram of powdered
areca nuts and one dram Of bicarhonata
of soda to 100 pounds of live hog
weight These substances should be
administered in the feed Or slop. In
this way each hog gets an equal por-
ton.
The animals should be kept confined
in pens so that the feces and expelled
worms may be collected for period
of forty-eight hours after tie medicine
has been given. If such feces are not
gathered up the animals will reinfest
themselves by roofing around i'll the
| filth All eXcreta should be burned.

is not desirable to have too rich 8
soil. as the heads are Liable to burst.
Cabbages should be set III rows thirty
to thirty-six inches apart, the plants
standing fourteen to eighteen inches
apart in the row.
To store cabbage the heads should be
buried in pits Or placed in cellars.
One method is TO dig Il trench about
eighteen inches deep and three feet
wide and set the cabbage upright, with
the heads close together and the roots
embedded in the soil. When cold
weather COMES the heads are covered
lightly with straw and three or four
inches of earth put in. Slight freezing
does not injurc cabbage, but it should
not be subjected to repeated freezing
and thawing. Early cabbage cannot
be kept, as it does not stand hot wealth
er we'll 1t should be used soon after
it has formed a solid head.

SEPARATE SITTING COOP FOR TURKEY HEN.
a sufficient number of turkey hens
should be allowed to sit to take all the
poults hatched. They can be gwen q
few eggs from tie incubator or from
under the chicken hens and allowed to
hatch the poults themselves, or at
night u ncwly Matched poUlt can be

| Turkey hens do not ordinarily come
off for feed and water more than once
every two or three days, but when
confined they should be given an op-
portunity to come off every day Occa-
siOnally a turkey hen does not come
off at ALL and in such case she should
be taken off once day, us otherwise
she will die on the nest.
A dust bath is greatly enjoyed by sit
ting hens and helps to keep them free
from vermin. Whole corn is q good
| feed, and fresh water and grit should
I always be accessible.
Lice are a great annoyance to sfttins
hens and are one of the worst enemie:
of young poults. TO prevent their get
ting fo0thold the hen should be dust
Ell thoroughly with some good lice pow
der before she is placed on the nest
and then both the hen and nest shGul(
be similarly treated once a week fO
the first three weeks of the incubation
period. The nesting material GhOult
be kept clean, and if the eggs become
dirty they should be washed with
soft cloth dipped in lukeWarm water
Just before the poults arc to hatch tn
old nesting material should be rcplace'
with clean straw.
The incubation period of turkey egg
is twerty-eight days.

Turkey hens and chicken hens are
ordinarily used to incubate turkey
eggs, although incubators are quite
generally used where turkeys are
raised on a large scale. During the
early part of the laying season it often
happens that there are ON hand a num-
Der of eggs that should be set before
any Of the turkey hens are through
laying their first litter and become
"broody." In such case and also when
it is desired to have the turkey hens
lay a second or third litter some of
the eggs have TO be incnbatcd under
