What  can  I  do  for  Yorkshire  boar  that

Overfeeding  and  lack  of  exercise  no

do  no  good  arid  the  doses  given  were  ex¬ 
cessive.  One  teaspoonful  for  eiieh  100 
pounds  of  body  weight  would  be' enough 
and  this  medicine  is  given  for  worms. 
Give  the  hour  four  ounces  of  glauber 
salts  in  slop  and  repeat  once  a  week. 
Feed  middlings  and  flaxseed  meal  in  hot 
water.  Also  allow  roots  and  Alfalfa  hay
