TO PREVENT WORMS IN PIGS
Especially important to Protect Newly
Farrowed Animals From Intestinal
Parasites.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture-)
Recent investigations have shown
the importance of taking special pre-
cautions with newly narrowed pigs to
prevent their becoming infested with
intestinal worms. Intestinal worms are
very common parasites among pigs,
and cause a great deal of damage to
the young animals. 1t appears that as
they become older pigs become less
susceptible to infection. Accordingly,
if pigs can be protected from infection
during the first few weeks of life they
are less likely afterwards to be serious
ly injured by intestinal worms of the
common variety.
The worms are spread by means of
eggs of microscopic size which are de-
posted by the adult worms in the in
testines of infested pigs, and which
pass out of the body in the feces. After
a period of incubation which varies &C

IerSs
cording to temperature and other con-
ditiOnS, the egg contains tiny embry-
Onic worm, and is ready for further de-
velopment when swallowed by a pig.
The eggs are highly resistant and may
retain their vitality for years. 1t is
therefore evident that in course of time
the ground in yards where pigs are
kept may become very heavily laden
with the eggs of the worms.
When the eggs are swallowed The
young worms hatch out, but do net inn
mediately settle down in the intestine.
They get into the circulation and are
carried to various organs of the body,
including the lungs. Meanwhile they
increase somewhat in size and undergo
certain changes of structure. In a
week or ten days they can be found in
infected pigs examined post-mortem
crawling up the windpipe into the
mouth and down the esophagus into
the stomach. In the normal course Of
events they finally reach the intestine
again, where they develop slowly to
maturity. Small pigs if their lungs are
invaded by large numbers of the young
intestinal worms are liable to develop
pneumonia, which may prove fatal. 1t
is not improbable that many cases of
lung trouble among young pigs are
caused by these worms.
The question of preventing losses
among young pigs by worms, judging
from the results of the investigations
carried on in the geological division of
the bureau of animal industry, largely
resolves itself into question of pro-
viding good sanitary conditions for the
pigs. particularly during the sucking
period. The sOws before narrowing
should be kept in clean, dry places
away from mud wallows, and until the
pigs are several weeks old they should
be kept preferably in buildings and
pens with floors which can be easily
cleaned and which are kept clean.

Washington authorities have learned
that the people of the country are
more interested in men who have
been at the front, who have seen
service. and who have earned dis
tinction In fighting the Germans. than
they are In anything else connected
with the war Pershing's men who
have been at the front and returned
get more attention than any other
kind of men. in or ont of uniform. The
sO-called "Blue Devils" of the French
army received a great deal of atten-
ton. not only In Washington but else
where.
The Red Cross, which under IT'S
present new management is doing so
much effective work, has been quick
to realize the value of men who have
actually done things. Therefore the
Red Cross takes 200 wounded French,
British. Canadian, and Australian men
who have been ar the front and makes
them leaders in the movement to raise
the necessary money to carry on the
Red Cross work.
1t all goes to show that the actual
participation In the war by United
States forces is the one thing that has
aroused intense interest. That was
shown when our navy first went over.
and II u0re information were given
out about what our navy is doing,
there would be more real interest
manifested among our people in the
great war. 1t all goes to show mat the
war must be brought h0;Ge to people
before they become vitality interested
ln it.

It would not be at all surprising IL
America should adopt the nickname
which the English have given our SOL
oilers. The term "Huskies" seems to
fit very well the fine, solid and sub

las been around the training camps
or has seen the soldiers, march
ing through the streets, or riding on
the railroad cars. or in any place
where their solid and substantial forms
are in sight. cannot help thinking of
them as mighty husky fellows.
There has been quite an undercur-
rent of objection TO the term Sam
miles," the appellation which some
have attempted to apply 10 American

was not altogether pleasing to the SOL

serted there has been notable fan

position to governmental war policies
have begun greatly to modify their ut

the mere fact that the power exists 10

as the full knowledge of what the gov
eminent can do reaches the pro-Ser-
man sympathizers in America.
II IS also asserted by officials that
the time is EOw oppOrtune for all per-
sons Of German parentage or birth to
get on the right side and declare them
selves unequivocally for the United
States and against Germany. The off,
Gals here do not want to accept what
is becoming a growing idea, that is.
Once a German, always a German.
for they believe there are many people
of German blood in the United States
who are loyal, although they have not
manifested it by proper declaration
and works.
One thing seems to be assured,
how ever, that public sentiment in the
United States is going to cause the
enforcement of the rigid laws which
have been enacted. and it will be well
for the pro-Germans. whether Ameri-
cans or foreigners. to guard carefully
their utterances in regard to the Unit
