can be used alone, but the tar daubed on the nose will remain longer, thus 

 be more convenient. 



The flies will not strike the sheep so treated. Other suggestions for pre- 

 vention are to plow up the pasture so as to give the sheep soft ground 

 which to burrow their noses. Or, provide a dark shed for the sheep to run 

 under during the fly season. Conkey's Stock Tonic mixed with the feed, or 

 added to the salt for the flock, 1 part to 9 parts salt, will help the sheep over 

 this trying season when they are apt to lose condition. Put this salt 

 mixture in a trough covered with a board in which you have made holes just 

 large enough for the sheep to get the salt;%nd keep the holes smeared with 

 pine tar and Conkey's Fly Knocker. Wlreflrthe sheep go to the salt trough 

 they will daub their own noses and save you the trouble of applying. 



HOOSE HUSK This common dis- 



PAPERSKIN ease affects lambs 



LUNGWORM mostly under one 



year old. The 



symptoms are spasmodic, suffocating 

 cough, with a running discharge from 

 the nose. Breathing is very difficult, 

 so that the blood loses vitality. The 

 lamb becomes dull, loses flesh, and the 

 eyes and lips appear bloodless. The 

 skin becomes harsh, dry and paperlike, 

 hence the name "paperskin". The 

 wool is dry and easily pulled out. The Lung worm (strongylus filaria)

chial tubes and lungs, where it is found 



in clusters of small, threadlike worms, almost indistinguishable in the frothy 



mucous. 



Treatment Medical treatment is difficult, because of the location of these 

 worms; as it is hard for a medicine taken into the stomach to 

 act directly on the air passages. Sometimes the worm can be dislodged by 

 giving each lamb 1 teaspoonful of turpentine in milk before the regular morn- 

 ing feed, keeping up this treatment for one week. This saturates the system, 

 and the fumes are given off in the lungs. Another good treatment is to put 

 the lambs in a closed room and fumigate them with sulphur and alcohol in a 

 deep pan, set in a tub of water. Give the lambs nutritious, easily digested 

 food, such as linseed meal, oatmeal and bran, with Conkey's Stock Tonic 

 mixed in the feed according to directions. This will insure full digestion of 

 the feed, and also act as a tonic and alterative for the system. This treat- 

 ment will be found very successful. 



Prevention Feed the lambs on bare lots, and away from the old sheep. 

 When lambs are fed on lots where old sheep have been grazing 

 and coughing up the worms, the lambs are pretty sure to become infested. 

 Also take care that the water is not infected. During the coughing spasm 

 many of the worms are dislodged, and if these fall into the drinking water 

 the lambs are easily infected. Also, for the whole flock, use the anti-parasite 

 mixture as follows, putting it where the animals can help themselves. This 

 anti-parasite mixture is the same as our general formula for veterinary salt, 

 as follows:
