need the best of care and feed to
take them quickly thru this period
and back to the nest. Spring pull

They should get as good care as old

Good housing will help bring au-
tumn eggs. Shelter from rains and
hot sun is necessary. Driving rains
should be kept off the stock and from
the feed boxes. Overhead shelter is
practically sufficient till late Novem-

roosting space. All rOosts should be

Plenty of clean grain. a mash with

will insure more eggs for the next

Keep down insect pests. feed we'll,

WORMS IN HOGS.
Valuable Suggestions How to Cope
With Same.

Due to mild winters in Florida
considerable trouble is had with
worms in hogs, says Dr. A. L. Sheely
veterinarian at the State Agricultural
College.
To best treat pigs for worms give
! a capsule containing ! y TO 2 grains
santonin and grains calomel. Old
hogs should reveive grains of san
tonin and grains of calomel With
hold feed for "a hours previous TO
treating Twelve to eighteen hours
afterwards give from l to 3 table
spoonfuls of epson salts in slop to
each animal.
To give the capsule to a pig, have
the attendant hold it upright between
his knees, open its mouth and throw
the capsule as far back into ii as
possible. Rinse down with water.
Old hogs may be drawn up to a post
by looping a rope over the upper jaw
behind the tusks. When they are so
drawn up. the mouth is usually held
open so that the capsule can be
thrown back into the mouth. II ii
is not open, force it open by means
of a stick.
From one to two teaspoonsfuls
powdered areca nut once day for
three successive days is often USED
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1920-09-16

for worms. The drug should be
given in milk or thin slop. Do not
feed the pig for "a hours before the
first dose. and give little food until
after the third dose. Follow with
epson salts.
Spirits of turpentine is also good.
Give pigs one teaspoonful and mature
hogs one tablespoonful in slop. Fol-
low with epson salts.
Copperas is also good and should
be given in doses of 4 to y teaspoon
full in slop twice daily for two or
three days. Follow with EPSON
salts.
Worms come from eggs taken into
and Matched in the digestive system
of the hog. Some of the worms are
carried from the intestimes to other
parts of the body. The kidney worm
is a representative of this type. At
ter this worm has reached the region
of the kidneys, no medical Treatment
can reach it.
Filthy hog wallows are fruitful
sources for worm eggs. and such
places should be avoided, When
pasture becomes heavily infested
with eggs, it is advisable TO change
to another and pillow the infested one
very deep.
There is no practical medical treat
ment for lung worms in hogs, Change
of pasture and deep blowing are the
best precautions.
