Whatever medicine was being used could easily be diluted so as to 

 make either i or 1 ounce doses — the latter for preference. The contents 

 of the keg should be frequently stirred to insure an even mixture, and 

 thus avoid danger of overdosing. 



An arsenic drench gives very favorable results in the treatment of worms 

 in sheep, and may be conveniently prepared as follows: — Boil together 

 slowly in a quart of water for half-an-hour 1 oz. of arsenic and 2 oz. of 

 carbonate of soda. Then add sufficient water to bring the total quantity 

 up to 3 gallons. Allow to stand, and later pour off the clear solution or 

 strain it through a plug of cotton wool. The solution will then contain 

 1 grain of arsenic in each 1 oz. of solution. 



The dose for a grown sheep is up to 2 oz. ; the dose for a 9 months old 

 lamb is up to li oz. ; the dose for a 6 months old lamb is up to 1 oz.
