LIJNGWORDI TROUBLE IN FOXES
ITS TREATMENT AND CONTROL

the thirnble like structure on the end of the long syringe-nozzle, as we'll as to inject simultaneously 3 liquid preparation into the lungs. Extensive tests have been made at the Experiment Station of this ln- strument. Findings indicated that it possesses one feature of cOnSld- erable value in the diagnosis and treatment of lungWorm infestatlon in foxes, in that the brush portion of the swab usually removes prac- tically all the lungworms 1t reach e.s. In critical tests on 10 1oxes that were killed 12 to 24 hours after treatment, the brush removed ll6 (38.4 per cent) of the 302 lung worms present in the windpipe, bronchi, and bronchioles. There were only 24 worms left in the windpipe, all of these being III three particularly long-bodied anl- malls in which the instrument failed to reach to the farthest end of the windpipe.
 Observations indicate that the common lungworms of foxes tend to work gradually up into the wind pipe from the air passages III the lungs. For this reason, the periodic treatment of foxes, at intervals or 10 days to two weeks, eventually removes all lungwormS present, provided reinfestation is effective ly prevented.
 Clinical tests of the instrument have yielded encouraging results. Although the judicious use of tra- chael sWab at intervals of two weeks appears greatly to hasten re- covery of patients, such treatment is not of much value if the pa tients are allowed to stay on badly infested ground Best results are obtained when the instrument IS used as a supplement to good feed ing, care, and sanitation.
 The passage of tracheal sWabs lS delicate surgical operation at tended with great danger unless certain important surgical and san itary precautions are observed For this reason, it is strongly advised that the use of one of these in struments be undertaken only by a competent and skilled veterinarian who has had considerable exper- fence in the use of either tracheal swabs or bronschoscopic inStru- |ments. Some of the precautions ad- vised in the use of tracheal sWabs on foxes are as follows:
 l. Perform the operation under as sanitary conditions as possible, preferably in clean operating room where both hot and cold run ming water are available
 2. Thoroughly clean and steril- ize the entire instrument before using, as we'll as between each suc- cessive patient.
 3. Provide a separate brush for each patient.

4. Soften the brushes by soaking them in boiling water for at least Is minutes just before using.
 5. Pass and withdraw the in strument slowly and very gently; never use force.
 6. Do not treat a patient oIten- CT than once week.
 T. Use a good speculum and pc sure that the animal is well re- strained while the instrument IS being passed.
 The treatment of lungWorm trouble in foxes is a matter requr- ing considerable time, patience, ana close attention to details of sanl- tation. Although some patlents may show marked improvement within a couple of weeks after be- ing treated with a tracheal sWab and placed in SD ecial l sanitary quarters, it usually requires from one to three months to cure com pletely a ratler or wheezer, il treat ment is undertaken before the condition of the patient has become too serious.
 Fox farmers who have never had lungworm trouble on their ranches for the disease is an especially dlf- ficult one to control and may recur should be on guard to prevent It, year after year once it becomes es- tabliShed.
 DRUGS DUSED IN TREATMENT OF UR-BEARERS
 (D. E. Stubbs, fur farmer, McKin- ley Park, Alaska.) The list of drugs so far used on fur farms is not large, yet in their use it is most important that the fur farmer know what action to expect from the medicine, the proper amount to give, how often and best manner of preparing and administering the remedy, and in some cases when not to give. ] An illustration will make clear the importance of this needed in | formation. A rancher, who was raising mixed fur-bearers, had been told by some one to give his ani- malls iodine. Securing a bottle o1 Tincture of Iodine, it was given ir large doses, resulting disastrouSly
 Tincture of Iodine, as usually put up, is 1872 per cent Iodine crys- tals; potassium iodide 3A per cent; water 212 per cent, and alcohol 8a per cent, for external use. Label is always printed with red ink meaning poison. It is very useful on a ranch to apply to wounds and bites of animals; all ranchers should keep it on hand. The de colorized Tincture of Iodine is a solution of ammonium iodide in alcohol, for external use only. Potassium Iodide was the drug the rancher should have given his animals. It is a white bowed, SOL uble in water. Dose for fox: grains in solution added to cooked feed. Dose for mink: 2 grains ir solution in feed. Two doses month is usually sufficient. Only , Interior Alaska animals need it, Coast animals do not. Caution Do not give to a female before ol

The Washington times., 1931-02-07

The tagging action Of the rail
group has increased the apprehe1-
sion in speculative quarters as to
what the immediate future holds
in store for the market. It will
be remembered that an advance
in railroad stocks preceded the
early January upturn in the mar
ket as a whole. However, little
attention has been paid to this
section while the industrials were
occupying the center Of traders
minds. Now, that the latter group
has shown its inability to pene-
trate the upper levels of its trad
ing range, interest has turned to
the carriers, and the records show
that they have been slowly de-
clining now for fortnight. This
is pertinent, since the movement
of the rails have signalled the
trend of the general market al
most without exception in 1929
and 1890.
Not Discouraged
Constructive quarters are not
altogether discouraged by the in
different action CT the market
in recent weeks. They readily
admit that there has been no
business improvement in January
to justify a broad advance in
the general list, and consider it
not improbable that the first
quarter of 1881 will make even
a poorer showing in earnings
than the last quarter of 1890.
They point out. however, that
view of extreme beariShneSs
seems unjustified in view Of the
drastic Liquidation which has al
ready taken place in the last IL
months. and the fact that un-
favorable business news now as
serting itself has been discounted
in large measure.
TObacc6S Are FavoriteS
Stocks Of tobacco companies
are among the favorites Of bullish
interests due to the ability of
these manufacturers to maintain
their upward trend of earnings
during 1880. Another factor re-
Gently brought out is that hold
ings of principal cigarette grades
of tobacco in the hands of manu-
facturers and dealers have ad-
vanced substantially through plr-
chases at prices about IS per
cent below a year ago. Conse-
quently, benefits to be derived
from lower inventory costs may
be expected to ada to earnings
in the years Immediately ahead.
Strong cash positions, an un.
doubted control of the field and
well-sustained demand for cigar
cites gives the principal factors
in this industry many Of the
attributes desired during a period
