WORM INFESTED HORSES.
Animals Thus Afflicted Soon Get Out

Animals Thus Afflicted Soon Get Out
of Condition.
Many horses get out Of condition or
fail to make gains during the winter
months because they are infested with
worms. This is especially true Of colts.
Horses suffering from worms generally
have good appetite, but apparently
benefit little from the food eaten.
There may be no symptoms which
point conclusively to worms, but this
trouble is so common that if the colts
and horses are not doing as well as
they should for the feed given, a worm
remedy may prove Of decided value. In
treating horses for worms DR.. l.. S.
Backus of the Missouri College of Agri-
culture suggests it is well to keep in
mind that the drug is meant for the
worm rather than the horse and should
therefore be given i'm as concentrated
form as possible. To insure this little
or no bulky food should be fed during
the course of treatment, and as the
parasites are stupefied by worm rene
dies rather than killed the animals
bowels should lie kept in an active con.
dition so that the stupcled worms may
be passed out before they regain their
vitality. A well sailed bran mash once
day will generally insure such an ac-
tiOn.
The following formula is worm
remedy which is also of value as a
tonic: Powdered nux vomica, two
ounces; powdered gentian root, four
ounces; powdered areca nut, six ounces;
sodium chloride common salt, four
ounces; arseniOus acid. two drains.
Mix.
Give heaping teaspOonful to every
$50 pounds weight every morning and
evening for about ten days. The medi-
cine may be mixed with ground feed or
sprinkled over oats or corn which has
