Keeping Your Flock OF Chickens
Free From Worms
"Most poultrymen through ignor-
ance or disregard for preventive
measures allow their fowls to be-
come infested with worms" saws a.
New Jersey Agricultural Expert
ment Station bulletin. It has been
estimated that the loss to the poul-
try industry due to worms runs up
into many thousands of dollars.
How to prevent this how to con-
troll these worms is the question.
All Of the things that should be
done to prevent a worm infestation
in a flock come under one head
ing. SANITATION. It must be
realized that because Of the ex-
treme difficulty Of maintaining abb
solutely sanitary conditions in a
poultry house and poultry yard
that sanitation alone cannot be ex-
pected to completely control the
worm problem, and because of this
a poultryman is justified in includ-
ing regular worm treatments in
hiS PouilTy idiShiS PfoSTdu. ALSO
that sanitation Is only q preventive
measure and If a worm infestation
is present an efficient worm treat
ment must be used. However the
severity Of a worm infestation can
be held in check by following these
four points in poultry house and
poultry yard sanitation:
I. A regular and thorough clean
ing Of the poultry house once every
month. After the house is thor

mixture is fed ground, it is better
than the ground millet. Corn is
still the most popular feed for fat
tening lambs.-P. A. Anderson, div
ision Of animal husbandry.
I was told that weekly "Satur-
day Night Milk Flush" would be
beneficial to both chickens and tur-
keys and would prevent coccidiosis.
Is this true?
This idea Of giving a weekly
FLUSH" or laxative is just lot of
"hooey." It leaves the birds weak
and prevents normal gains. You
had better stick to a good program
of sanitation and feed them regu-
larly and well.-W. A. Billings, ex-
tension veterinarian.
Is there any effective way Of kill
ing lice on cattle? I have tried
sabodilla seed but 1t did not work
very well.
We have found that sodium
fluoride, the same product that is
used for lice on poultry, works best
on our herd here. Mix equal parts
Of sodium fluoride with ordinary
flour and dust it on the back,
shoulders, neck, flanks and thighs
or other parts Of the cow where the
lice are found, and rub it gently
into the hair. Usually only one ap-
plication is needed, because the
mixture sticks to the hair for some
time. This product is poison, sc
keep it away from children and
livestock.-N. A. Allen, dairy divi.
sion.
When is the best time to plant
trees?
Early in the spring, after the
frost has left the ground, Is bes'

moist and the sun is mild so that
the trees have a chance to become
established before summer drouths
and before weeds interfere with
their growth.-Clemens c. Kauf
