Article: Food grade DTE is a talcum-looking powder that consists of fossilized marine phytoplankton. Their microscopic, razor-like edges slice and scrape, dehydrating parasites (i.e. worms) and thus killing them. For small dogs, sprinkle 1t on their food once daily. For dogs over 55 pounds, sprinkle 1T on their food once daily. Make sure you mix it well as it is so dusty that inhaling it can cause irritation in your pooch's respiratory system. The root of this plant is used for a variety of health-related applications and has been scientifically proved to be effective against parasitic worms. This is due to the presence of berberine, an anti-microbial alkaloid. You can get this at your local health food store (it may be labeled as an extract). Administer 12 drops per 20 pounds OBW. Do not use with diabetic animals, those with acute liver disease, or those that are pregnant or nursing. While you're eliminating worms from your furry friend it's important to keep in mind foods that, while not qualifying as cures, greatly assist in getting rid of the parasites while simultaneously enhancing your dog's overall health. Feeding them these foods will help heal their insides while promoting a healthy immune system as well. Carrots, beets, and turnips. T per day of these root vegetables will scrape the mucus lining of the intestines in a healthy, safe way (worms live in the mucus). The vegetables are neither digested nor absorbed and do not change in pH balance. In combination with a de-worming cure, they help flush away the detritus and return your dog's digestive system to a healthy, happy state. Apple cider vinegar will help your animal's digestive track heal and reduce the irritation left by worms. It also improves their coat, boosts their immune system, and helps them absorb the most nutrients from their food. Feed 1t daily. Add a half capsule of cayenne pepper per 50 lbs of body weight to food daily. This can be stepped up to a half capsule per 25 lbs of body weight twice a day for one week for quicker results.

Add food grade diatomaceous earth (DTE). Drip Oregon grape tincture in their mouths. Cleanse their digestive systems.
Article: With these tests, you buy a kit online that they send to you. You fill the kit with a blood or milk sample, then send it back to the company. They test the sample to see if your goat is pregnant. Check companies like BioTracking, Genex, Dairy One, and Rocky Mountain Instrumental Labs. Tests can run anywhere from $7-$20 USD. Typically, these tests measure progesterone or estrone sulfate. Estrone sulfate tends to be more accurate for a positive test, but only if you perform it 50 days after conception. Before then, it has about an 83% accuracy rate for positive and negative results. You can perform a progesterone test as early as 18-22 days after conception. However, it tends to be more accurate in its negatives than positives. It has a 75-86% accuracy in positive tests. With these tests, you order a testing kit online, and it's sent to you. Then, you take a blood or milk sample, and use the tester to check if your goat is pregnant. Perform the test between the 18th and 22nd day after the likely conception. If you miss that window, do one on both the 23rd and 24th day for more accuracy. Typically, these work similar to a human home pregnancy test. You place several drops of milk or blood on the testing stick and wait for it to develop. The test takes about 5 minutes. Kits are $5-$10 USD apiece, and you usually buy them in bulk. A typical way to check for pregnancy is through a blood test. Your vet can do this test for you. You can either take the goat in or have the vet visit your home if that's an option. These tests are usually inexpensive. They often run $20-$40 USD. While blood tests and milk tests are somewhat accurate, the most accurate test is an ultrasound. Your vet can do an abdominal or rectal ultrasound to determine if your doe is pregnant. Some vets do have portable ultrasound machines they can bring to your farm. A rectal ultrasound is more difficult to perform, but by using one, your vet can determine pregnancy as early as 20 days after conception. An abdominal ultrasound is accurate, but your vet usually won't be able to hear a heartbeat until 25 days after conception. At about 70 days, your vet can perform an x-ray on your goat. At that time, they can tell whether your goat is pregnant with 100% accuracy. However, this requires a trip to the vet. At 75 days, the vet can usually tell how many kids the goat will have by counting the skulls.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Send blood or milk away to a lab for a test. Use a home blood or milk test for simplicity. Have your vet perform a blood test for you. Ask your vet to do an ultrasound for more accuracy early on. Request an x-ray for accuracy in later pregnancy.
Article: You want to drill slower when you are drilling into hard materials; you can find charts online that provide recommended drill speed for different materials, including glass. Chuck a small bit into a variable speed motor drill. Make sure it is secured tightly. It is best to start with a bit maybe about 1/8" or 3/32" in size. You only want to create a dimple in the glass at first. Then, remove the cardboard or tape and drill faster, at about 400 rpm. If you drill too fast, your drill bit could cause burn marks around the tip. If it seems necessary, swap in a larger bit to enlarge your initial hole. The first hole is a "pilot" hole. It will guide the subsequent larger bits as you work your way up to the size of your finished hole When drilling glass, you should keep the drill at low or medium speeds. When you are close to breaking through, slow it down even more because this is when the glass can be the most fragile. If you press too hard on the glass with the drill, you could crack it. Hold the drill perpendicular to the glass so that you prevent chipping. You'll want to use lighter pressure if you're new to drilling to make it less likely you make a big mistake. Another approach is to drill half way through, flip the glass over (carefully) and drill through the back side of it until you meet the other hole in the middle. This is very important. Pour a little oil or water on the area that you are drilling. Water is the most common coolant used on drill bits. You will need to use more coolant if you are drilling a harder surface. The coolant will keep the drill bit or saw and glass lubricated and cool. If the glass gets too hot while drilling, it can crack and break. Coolant should be applied both before and during drilling. You could put a bottle with water in it and a small hole in it at the drill hole. It will trickle out and onto the hole as you drill the glass, cooling it. You could also spray a mist of water around the drill bit instead to keep it lubricated. Again, remember to be very careful of electrical cords and water. Try putting the water in a squirt bottle and apply it as you drill. If white powder forms as you drill, you should apply more coolant, and slow the process down. You could also place a wet sponge under the glass as you drill to act as a coolant.Or you could cover the glass with a small amount of water before drilling - basically put it in a shallow water bath in your container.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Start drilling at a very slow rpm. Lighten up the drilling pressure and speed even more so when the drill tip is close to breaking through the glass. Use coolant so the drill bit doesn't get too hot.
