Ailing Animals 
By Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Rickets 
What is (he matter with my piss? I 
have four about five months ohi. ami have 
fed them oatmeal middlings and ground 
oats. About two weeks ago one of them 
began to be lame behind and could 
hardly get up. In about a week he was 
lame forward, and would walk on his 
knees, and now he cannot walk at all. 
lie eats all right and does not fall away. 
Today I see one of the others starting 
just the same way. j. s. A, 
Maine. 
The pigs are affected with rickets, 
which is similar to bowed legs in a child. 
Errors in feeding and management are 
the cause, and the tendency to the ail¬ 
ment seems to be hereditary. Feed need 
not be cooked for hogs, with the possible 
exception of potatoes. Experiments have 
shown that cooking does not pay. Al¬ 
ways screen ground oats for removal of 
hulls before feeding to pigs. The hulls 
cause great irritation of the membranes 
lining the bowels and may induce piles 
nr prolapse (profusion) of the rectum. 
Rickets is rare when pigs are fed mixed 
rations, including milk, clover or Alfalfa 
hay and oilmenl and tankage. The dry 
meals may be fed from a self-feeder. In 
Spring and until the end of Autumn let 
sows' and pigs graze a succession of 
fresh, green crops, in addition to taking 
milk as a drink and having mixed meals 
supplied from a self-feeder. Also allow 
free access to slaked lime, salt, wood 
ashes and wood or corncob charcoal. At 
once give unaffected pigs free range and 
feed as we have suggested. Also mix 
lime water freely in the milk or in slop. 
Physic each affected pig with Epsom 
salts in slop, and some may recover, but 
that is doubtful.

Removing Stains from White Skin 
I would like a safe and simple recipe or 
formula for a wash hr take off manure 
stains on white cattle or horses. F. A. B. 
New York. 
For the purpose mentioned it is usual 
to wash the stained parts with soap and 
hot water and then with water contain¬ 
ing a little blueing. A weak solution of 
bleaching powder (chlorinated lime) is 
also effective. We have found it best to 
bed white horses with sawdust or planing 
mill shavings in a box stall, and then 
to have the manure removed as often as 
possible.

Lung Worms of Sheep 
How do lung worms in sheep increase, 
and how long does it take them to de¬ 
velop? Is there a cure? o. b. 
New York. 
The lung-worms or strongyles of the 
sheep (St ron mi In ft filar in- and is', refits- 
entft) are most prevalent oa low-lying, 
swampy lands. "Wet seasons favor their 
development in animals, as moisture in¬ 
sures the life of the embryo outside of 
the body. Adult sheep carry the worms 
throughout the season and by voiding 
worm eggs spread the infestation to 
lambs grazing the contaminated pastures 
and drinking water similarly contaminat¬ 
ed. The eggs or ova voided by their hosts 
start molting in a week or so if they hap¬ 
pen to fall into water or moist places. 
They may remain alive in such places for 
several months if there is no putrefying 
organic matter there. After a second 
molting they shrivel and remain in the 
skin. Upon being taken in by a lamb or 
sheep they revive and develop adult 
worms. Animals weakened by inadequate 
feeding or sickness lack resistant powers 
and are chiefly invaded by the worms. 
The tirst: worm mentioned is white, point¬ 
ed at each end, like a little bit of thread. 
The male is 2 to 3 in., and the female 3 
to -I in, long. It inhahits the bronchial 
tubes and lungs. The second worm is 
thread-like and reddish brown in color, 
The male is 1)4 in. long and the female 
1)4 to 1 )4 in. It is less common than 
the filaria, and inhabits the same parts of 
the sheep. Prevention is all important. 
I.amlis should be kept off infested pas¬ 
tures and given new grass, and in addi¬ 
tion should he so fed. when necessary, as 
to keep them thriving fast. Treatment 
consists in injecting into each nostril in 
turn, of an adult sheep, about 22 drops 
of chloroform, by means of a medicine 
dropper or fountain pen filler. The nos¬ 
tril is closed with the fingers for a few 
seconds after the injection. Following 
the treatment, in three or four hours a 
full dose of Epsom sails should be given 
to clear the worms out of the intestinal 
tract, as they are numbed by the chloro¬ 
form, coughed up and swallowed. Treat¬ 
ment may be repeated in two weeks, or 
when seen to he necessary. Tf will not 
help in pneumonia from lung worms and. 
indeed, will he likely to hasten death. As 
intestinal worms may also he present, it 
is Well to give blue-stone solution (1 per 
cent) after the other treatment. The 
dose for a lamb is 1 to 1 )4 ounces, and 
for an older sheep 2 to 3)4 ounces, to he 
repeated in 10 days.

A Wise Investment 
Upward 
Everybody knows that money invested in up-to-date 
fences pays good dividends. Don’t neglect yourfences. Only 
with good fences can you make profits through live stock. 
Get best service by also using American and U. S. gal¬ 
vanized posts. Driven like stakes. Anchor themselves. 
Use heavy fences—of large substantial wires for economy 
and more years of service. Because the wires are larger 
they take a heavier coat of galvanizing and are thua 
better protected. 
Such is U. S. Fence—made with big full gauge wires 
and continuous stays and the U. S. Knot. Stretches 
evenly over uneven ground. 
We also make light weight fences of small gauge wires 
for trade that demands them. These are the best of this 
type on the market—the highest quality steel and best 
galvanizing. But we urge you to use heavier fence for 
better economy. 
See the U. S. Fence dealer and get prices. He has new 
catalogs illustrating many kinds of fences, gates and 
posts for every purpose.
