I-jicc anil Worms in Hog**.For lice, A. C. Moore gays: “Take two parts of kerosene and one part of melted lard and apply to hair and skin with a sponge or cloth; rub it well over all parts where nits arc liablo to be found, especially behind the ears and forearms. This has proven a certain cure with three applications.”W. S. Swann gives his remedy, which is simple and easy of application: “Take buttermilk and pour it along the hog's back and neck; after two or three applications not a louse will be found.Another.—One-fourth pound Scotch snutT and 1 1-2 pound of lard, mix and apply. This is enough for use on twenty head.Kemcmber that if the lice have become bad that the pens, floors and houses are infested with them.and they should be thoroughly cleaned; remove all offal and bedding and burn, whitewash the pen inside and out and sprinkle ashes on the floor once a week. The inside of the pen should be whitewashed once a mouth until the lice are cleared out.F. if. Allison, Garden City, Mo., gives the following us a method, which ne says is effectual: “Drive a post into the ground in a pig lot, so that it will be two feet high from the ground, then wrap it with rags saturated with lard and kerosene oil; the hog will rub against the post, and I venture to say there will be no more trouble with lice. There should be a ouo-inch hole bored in the top of the post six inches deep, and side holes into this with a gimlet so that oil can seep out into the rags. Put a cork in the hole to keep out dirt and prevent evaporation.”Worms.—A. C. Moore says: “Mix wood ashes and soap suds and feed once a week with their slops.”Another.—Santonin is given as a most effectual remedy. This is the basis of most vermifuge.It is in small white crystals, to be given in doses of one-third of a teaspoonful morning and evening for two or three days, following with a brisk cathartic, such as calomel, in teaspoonful doses.Another. — Oil of turpentine, two drams, in milk, given for six mornings in succession, then follow with dose of castor oil; half dose for pigs.These remedies are for worms infesting the intestines. — American Swineherd.
