One Way Of Preventing Worms in Pigs
10 to Provide Good, Sanitary Quar-
tiers.
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 not i'm
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
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. It
Is not improbable that many cases of
lung trouble among young pigs are
caused by these worms.
The question of preventing losses
among Z Dung 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.

New Sleeves.

The only sleeve eccentricities Of the
present time are very mild ones. Eve
ming gowns. from having no sleeves at
all, have taken to having long angel
clouds of tulle that float downward
from the shoulder and. it would seem,
help to fight the coal shortage by keep
ing their wearers warm by a mere
shadow Of fabric. Anyway, it is emf
nently becoming and very much of a
relief after too many bare arms. The
single film of chiffon or tulle confers q
softening effect on arms that are too
thin as we'll as those that are too fat

Fashion Points Of Interest.

There are four things in fashion that
are often discussed today: The severe
uncollared neck line, the short sleeve,
the cape back and the lack Of chiffon
blouses. A dressmaker drew pa
irons attention to the absence Of the
latter garment because of the preva-
lence of one-piece frocks. and told how

upon wash blouses to continue their
business. Sailor collars are not smart.
