104 The Farmer's Veterinary Adviser. 



ures may be safely grazed by cattle, horses, asses oi 

 mules. Nathusius obviated the attacks by keeping the 

 early lambs in sheds and boxes until May, and the late 

 ones until autumn, and by feeding in the same places on 

 roots and hay in wet weather. Abundant diy feeding and 

 a free access to salt are especially desirable. 



Treatment. This is precisely the same as for calves. 

 The tonic mixture (iron, ginger and gentian,) may be giv- 

 en to the extent of two ounces to every ten three months 

 lambs daily. For the intestinal parasites, a teaspoonful 

 each of salt and oil of turpentine may be given in milk

SYMPTOMS OF VEEMINOUS BRONCHITIS IN PIGS. 



Eayer and BeUingham supposed these parasites to be 

 harmless to pigs, but my experience agrees with that of 

 Deguileme, that they will accumulate in such numbers as 

 to cause bronchitis and death. The symptoms are essen- 

 tially the same as in other animals — the coughing up of 

 worms and eggs being the only rehable evidence of the 

 diseaf.e. 



Fri^enfion and treatment are essentially the same as for 

 lambs and calves. 



SYMPTOMS IN BIEDS. GAPES. 



Young turkeys or chickens a few days old frequently 

 open the mouth wide and gasp for breath, sneeze and 

 make efforts at swallowing. These movements become 

 more constant and severe, breathing is oppressed and 

 wheezing, and the little patients grow languid and dispir- 

 ited, droop and die. It is especiaUy prevalent on old-es- 

 tabhshed farms with large flocks of fowls. 



Treatment. The worms may be partly removed by a 

 feather stripped of all its plumes except at the tip, or still 

 better by a horse-hair twisted up so as to have a very fine 

 loop. The mouth being opened the feather or hair is
