Show MASS TREATMENT FOR HOG WORMS recent experiments at the iowa state college have shown that masi treatment ot ten or twenty hogs at a time for worms Is just as effe cUTe as individual treatment and vastly easier the method was as follows the pigs were starved tor one aholt day receiving nothing but water in the evening they received the dose of worm medicine pure mixed with a thin slop the amount of san Is email but this Is easily mixed uniformly in the slop by shaking ap in a bottle with milk or water anil pouring along the trough all night the pigs received no water but the next morning they were given a drink of cisom salts solution as a purge about a quarter of a pound to two gallons of water glau her salts would do as well in adoth er hour they were given a regular morning feed results showed a great many worms As far as could be told the pigs receiving the mass treatment lost as many worms as other lots adjoin ing which received the individual treatment in order to be certain however the experimenters waited 21 days long enough tor any worm eggs to incubate and then gave another treatment extra strong not a worm or a sign of one was found either from the individual treatment or the mass treatment scale of dosage was based on two grains of pure tor a 25 pound pig and one grain additional for each additional 25 pounds thus a 60 pound pig received three grains a 75 pound pig tour grains mass treatment cannot be given with any drug except best bleeders breeders Bre eders choose only high grade beara boara A survey of successful swine breed ers falls to reveal one that has used anything other than high class baars boars says W C skelley assistant animal husbandman at the new jersey state college of agriculture A good boar he points out hlll do more toward de a fast growing vigorous profitable herd than any other single factor for herds of five or six bows sows an eight or nine month oid boar ts commonly used with satisfactory results on larger herds older baars boars are favored by the best bleeders breeders bre eders herd owners in the market for baars boars need not go outside bew jersey in alie opinion of professor skelley some outstanding animals are obtainable from berkshire and duroc jersey bleeders breeders bre eders in this state county agricultural agents make it ft point to brang buyers and sellers together when requested in tah way the general quality of the swine in ev jersey Is being improved bad teeth keep horses from eating full feed when a farmers teeth begin to keep him awake nights he usually goes to a dentist to find out what Is wrong and to have the offending members repaired or removed vicea a horse teeth go bad as they sometimes do about the only thing the horse has to do Is to grin and bear it until such time as the owner happens to discover the cause of the apparent inability of the horse to carry a full load bad teeth heep horses from eating full ra alons this in turn causes a loss of weight beyond what Is considered to be reasonably good working flesh it there are any animals that are too thin considering the feed offered and the work done it ts a good thing to hae the teeth of such animals exam ined in many cases bad teeth will bal found as the major cause of the excessive los of weight illinois has conquered diseases of glanders that the veterinary science of state of illinois bus conquered that dread disease of horseflesh known a glanders Is evident from a compari son of indemnity funds paid for aal mals condemned as victims of that in curable disease as administered through the division t animal industry illinois department of agriculture during the blenn lum that ended june 80 there was not a single case recorded wherein any horse in was condemned and pat to death on account of this contagious disease during the blenn lum that closed june SO 1925 the state paid out for horses that died cf glanders during the two acar period ending june SO 1923 the ost to the state tor glanders indemnity was protein supplements the use of protein supplements watt corn has long been advocated by lead ing authorities since Is one of the best of the pur chaw protein concentrates it has for a number of years been used ery by il hog feeders and rese irdi men the results obtained by feeding corn and under ordinary con have been so uniform that for years the combination ol 01 corn annl has been considered the standard corn belt ration |
