Phenothiazine Will
Kill Nodular Worms
Common Insect Of Hogs
Present on Most Farms

You've heard so much about
swine roundworns that you may
think they are the only internal par
asites that cause hog losses. If so,
you're wrong. You're overlooking
the nodular worm.
The USDA says the nodular worm
is perhaps the most common worm
parasite of swine, and that in some
states, practically all hogs raised
under ordinary conditions may be
infected.
Research workers in animal para
sitology are beginning to suspect
that nodular worm injury to hogs
is far greater than was heretofore
believed. Nodular worm infections
cause considerable losses to the
meat industry because the intes-
tines studded with nodules, result
ing from nodular worm injury, are

you are probably willing to treble

weak and tear easily, and this de-
stroys their value for use as cas-
ings.' These losses, of course, are
passed along to the hog raiser in
the form of lower prices.
Hogs entertain four species OF
nodular worms. The nodular worm
gets to be only about a half inch
long, hence is not as readily seen
as the roundworm, which gets to be
as thick as lead pencil and more
than a foot long. Hog raisers see-
ing roundworms may blame them
for trouble caused by the smaller,
harder-to-see nodular worms.
Phenothiazine is the only effective
remedy for removing nodular
worms. It destroys more than 30
per cent of them. Phenothiazine is
easily given in feed-in fact, that
is the safest way for a hog raiser
to administer it.

Early Day Painting

In the days when paint recipes
were kept in the family cook book,
our colonial ancestors knew about
making paint out of SKINNED milk,
which is basically the same idea as
the modern casein paint of to-
day which has a milk base. Colo.
.nial DANES mixed SKINNED milk
with salt, boiled rice, coffee and egg
white when they wanted a batch of
paint for freshening up their
houses. And painted house was a
matter of social prestige. 1t was
considered presumptuous for a
tradesman to paint his dwelling.
Gradually, though, as the idea of
equality penetrated. the butcher
and the baker and the candlestick
maker decided they had as much
right to paint their houses as the
doctor, lawyer and ship owner.
