will kill the lice.
A great many small hogs die from
the long yellow intestinal worm
when we think he died from cholera
or some other trouble. There are
capsules put out by many concerns
which can be given very easily to
the pigs that will cause them to get
rid of these parasites. A pretty good
way to tell if your pigs have worms
is to observe loss of thrift, their tails
get straight, their hair gets dry and
most of the time they become pot
bellied and do a considerable amount
Of coughing. These worms some times
will be found so compactly woven
together in some sections of the in
testines, that they completely block
the passage. This kills the pig in a
short time.

The first of December is a good
time to treat your cows with derris
dust for wolves. These parasites work
their way to the back of the COW
and cut an air hole through the hide
for breath. They stay and grow in
this position for approximately one
month when they crawl out and fall
to the ground where they remain
until the next summer. DerriS dust
with " percent rotenone busted or
rubbed in the cows back, through
these holes, will destroy a very high
percent of these destructive insects.
If you have any trouble getting this
strength material, please get in
touch with your county agent.
There are no less than so farmers
in this county who would find it
very profitable to build a dipping
vat. Half and sometimes more than
half of the feed given cattle during
the winter goes to the support OF
lice. If cows could be dipped about
twice during the winter season, 1t
would save a tremendous amount OF
feed and at the same time give the
old cow a chance to do a better job
taking care of her calf when the
grass begins to come.
