' PIGS WITH WORMS ARE EASILY CURED. i I Raleigh, N. C., August 6.—Wormy I pigs are unthrifty, unhappy and un- I profitable. They consume tremen jdous amounts of feed on Which little return is secured and yet they may be made entirely healthy by a single treatment consisting of a vermifuge and laxative. "But," says W. W. Shay, swine ex tension specialist at State College, "do the job of administering the drug correctly or save time by not doing it at all. The method we have found best in our tests is to diet the wormy animals on a rather thin slop for two days, then withhold all food on the night of the second day. Allow no food at all on the third day and ad minister the vermifuge on the night of this day. On the morning of the fourth day, give a laxative and about one hour later follow this with a light feed, semi-liquid in character. On the morning of the fifth day, take the pigs from the worm infested lot into a clean pasture or lot and full feed them as rapidly as possible with safety." If these directions are followed, [states Mr. Shay, worms in pigs will be eliminated. The vermifuge used is a drug called, Santonin, and is very effective when admisistered on an empty stomach and followed twelve hours later with the purgative. This drug is taken voluntarily by the pig and the danger of forcible feed ing is thus eliminated. Mr. Shay advises never to give over 8 grains of the Santonin to a hog. This is the maximum dose for a large animal. A pig weighing 25 pounds should have two grains; 50 pounds, three grains; 75 pounds, four grains; 100 pounds, 5 grains and a pig weighing 125 pounds THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 1928. | should have six grains. The drug is (bought in powder form and is first [dissolved in a small quantity of warm water. This is then thorough ly mixed with the thin slop and no more slop should be fed than the will clean up. The slop needs to be fed in a trough long enough for all the pigs to be dosed. Invariably fol low this dosage 12 hours later with the Epsom salts at the rate of one | ounce to one gallon of warm water or milk with sufficient wheat shorts added to disguise the taste.
