RAVAGES OF WORMS
CAUSE GREAT LOSS
Infested Hogs Make Gains Slowly,
If At AII-IoWa Station
Gives Good Remedy.

A great loss on all farms where
hogs are raised results from the raw
ages of worms. Great as are the
losses from hog cholera, it would not
be very wild assertion to state that
even greater losses accrue from
worms.
Hogs infested with worms gain slow
~, if at all, using up most of their
energy in coughing instead of using it
for growth and fattening. Further
more, they are kept in such a weak
ened condition that they are more sus-
ceptible to diseases, including hog
cholera, and it may be said with much
confidence that hog worms are the
forerunners of disease.
They cause disastrous results only
where they are permitted to go I'M
mo1ested. 1t is not a difficult matter
to rid a herd of hogs of them, and
many useful remedies have been rec
commended. The Iowa experiment sta
ton has recently offered a simple
remedy that will expel worms from
hogs with much certainty. The for
mula is:
SantoniA, five grains; areca nut,
three drains; calomel, three grains,
and sodium bicarbonate, one dram
This amount constitutes a dose for a
1O0-pound pig. Twice as much should
be used for a 20O-pound pig, while half
as much should be used for 50-pound
pig.
Success from the use Of this for.
mula depends upon Withholding from
the pigs all feed for at least Is hours
before feeding the mixture To make
! certain that all worms are expelled
the dose should be repeated in a week
or ten days. If all of the ingredients
cannot be secured at the drug store, 6
substitute in the form of seven grains
of santonin and seven grains OF Gallo
mel for each 100 pounds of Iveweighf
may be used with success, admins
tering it in the same manner suggested
for the complete formula.

WHITE DlARRHEA IS MENACE
Eternal Vigilance in Sanitation Is Price
of Health of FIock-Formula
for Antiseptic.

(By GEORGE H GLOVER, Colorado Ag-
riculturaI College, Fort Collins, Colo)
1t is claimed that not less than %
per cent Of chickens Matched die of
white diarrhea and the loss from this
disease is greater than the combined
loss from all other diseases.
1t is not difficult to distinguish be-
tween the white diarrhea and nom
infectious diarrhea. The latter attacks
older chicks and is not nearly so fatal
Incubator chicks are the most suscep-
sible and the disease usually appears
within the first three days after they
are Matched. At least so per cent of
chickens affected die.
The treatment must be preventive.
The cause must be removed and SAM
tation is practically the whole thing.
The incubators and broOders should be
thoroughly scrubbed with soap and
water in which q disinfectant has
been added. They should then be fur
therl disinfected by fumigatiOn with
formaldehyde gas. For Sc hours after
Matching, the chicks should receive no
feed. An intestinal antiseptic may
help to prevent infection. Doctor
Raupp has recommended for this pur-
rose sulfocarbolate 80 grains, bichlor-

start and also plenty of moisture.
The soil must be in a condition to
hold moisture over possible dry spell,
hence the necessity OF a well-prepared
seeded and plenty of humus in the
soil.
The oats crop is often used to SOW
clover with, and it does very well
sometimes and other times the clover
IS an utter failure.
often sow clover with buckwheat,
and I have never failed yet in getting
stand of clover with the buckwheat
crop, even when sown as late as Au-
gust.
Then when the buckwheat comes of
the stubble helps to protect the young
clover, and the ground is not covered
with a crop Of growing weeds which
rob the young clover of both moisture
and plantfood, as Is usually the case
when clover is sown with wheat or
oats.
often turn the wheat stubble, and
after narrowing the soil thoroughly let
it lie for about two weeks in order to
settle down, and then SOW buckwheat
and clover or timothy and clover about
the first of August.
1 have never failed to get a good
stand of grass and clover and usu-
ally get enough buckWheat to pay for
my work.

Died of Premature
Old Age!
RY V. NJ. PIERCE, II. ID

How many times we hear Of compare
lively young persons passing away
when they should have lived to be 40 or
so years Of age. This fatal work is usu-
ally attributed to the kidneys, as, when
the kidneys degenerate, it causes auto
intoxication. The more injurious the
poisons passing thru the kidneys, the
quicker will those noble organs be de
generated, and the sooner they decay.
To prevent premature old age and
promote long life, tighten the work OF
the kidneys by drinking plenty of pure
water all day long, and occasionally tax
ing Anuric double strength) before
meals. This can be obtained at drug
stores. Anuric will overcome such con
(iitions as rheumatism, dropsical swell
ings, cold extremities, scalding and
burning urine and sleeplessness due to

1.-THE walk is the important gait. 1t
should be snappy and true with good
length of stride. The action OF all
four legs should be strong and the
movement Of the knees and hooks free
without indication of dragging or stiff
ness.
Action in TrottinG.
at is essential to note an animals
action in trotting, because defects in
action are more perceptible when trot-
ting than when walking, although the
walk is more important from a work
ing standpoint.
in trotting there should be a clean
folding of the knee and hook, the feet
being carried in a straight line. The
hooks should work close together, for
if they are inclined to be carried too
far out it causes a bandy-legged ap-
pearance which is unsightly.
Careful shoeing in a great many
cases will improve the gait OF the draft
horse, tending to eliminate undesirable
features"

More Pay Asked at Princeton.

Material increases in the salaries of
professors at Princeton university are
urged in the report of a special uni
versity committee. According to the
report the average salary of the two
hundred members of Princeton faculty
is $3.50, although a full professorship
pays at the present time an average
OF about $4,000. This represents an
increase of only about 20 per cent in
the past II years, whereas, according
to the committee. the price of food
stuffs and other commodities has dou-
bled in price during this period. The
highest salary paid a professor at
Princeton is $4,000, and the lowest
paid half-time assistants salary is
$500 per year.
