pentine, or benzine is from one tablespoonful to 

 one and one-half tablespoonfuls (not teaspoon- 

 fuls) according to the size of the slieep, while the 

 amount of milk and of linseed oil is the same. This 

 treatment, Avhen repeated for each animal for 

 tliree successive mornings, will 

 certainly, if handled riglit, be a 

 cure for stomach worms. Of 

 course, each time the sliecp must 

 have been deprived of all food 

 over night. The dose may be given 

 every alternate day in case the 

 lambs have become very weak 

 before tlie trouljle was noticed. 

 Some authorities recommend that 

 another single dose of the mix- 

 ture l)c given ten days after tlie 

 tlnird dose, hi former years the 

 writer used onlj' the milk and 

 gasoline for dosing, but in later 

 years he has also added linseed 

 oil, for the reason that lamlis take this mixture 

 more easily and do not mind tlie strengtli of the 

 gasoline so much when it passes through tlie 

 nioutli and throat. This linseed oil also helps to 

 carry off the worms that are killed, but does not 

 weaken the dose in any way.
