sTonAcH WORMS CAUSE
DEATH OF MANY SHEEP

Stomach worms this summer are
causing heavy losses in many Ken
tucky sheep nocks. according to in.
qUiries as TO the best methods of
treatment which are being received
at the College Of Agriculture from
farmers in different esctions Of the
state One farmer has reported the
loss of a dozen lambs, while another
who wished to know what to do for
the trouble stated that he not only
had lost lambs but also ewes.
Although rotation Of pastures is a
preventive measure. drenching with
copper sulphate. commonly known as
bluestone. must be resorted to after
teh animals become infested with
the worms. according to l. J. Hor-
lacher, in charge of sheep work at
the college. One-fourth of a pound
of the pulverized material is dissolv-
ed in a pint of boiling water and
enough water added to make three
gallons. This is sufficient to drench
100 animals. each mature sheep be
ing given three and one-half ounces
or seven level teaspoonfuls- Lambs
receive hal fthis amount 1t it nee
essary to keep the sheep OF feed for
IL hours before drenching and care
also should be taken not TO strangle
them while the drench is being
given

its value as a preventive measure in
