Government Formula for Worms
In Hogs
The United States Department of
agriculture recommends for worms:
Charcoal, / bushel; hardwood ashes,
bushel: salt, 8 pounds air-slacked
lime. s pounds; sulphur, 4 pounds;
pulverized copperas. 2 pounds.
.Thoroly mix the lime, salt and sui
phur; then mix with this the charcoal
land ashes. Dissolve the copperas in
/ gallon water and sprinkle over the
whole mass, mixing completely. Store
in a barrel under shelter. Keep some
in a shallow trough constantly before
the hogs.
DR.. A. L. Shealy, of the Florida
Agricultural College, says that worms
come from eggs taken into and hatch
ed in the digestive system of hogs.
Some of the worms are at times car
ried from the intestines to other parts
of the body The kidneys, no drug
can reach it,
Filthy hog wallows should be avoid
ed as they are fruitful sources for
worm eggs. When pasture becomes
infested with eggs, change to another
and pillow the infested one deeply.
