in a pasture, and feeding a ration that is sufficient to keep the colt in
good physical condition are the important preventive measures. Tartar
emetic in one-half to one dram doses may be given with the feed daily until
five or six doses are given. Turpentine may be given in one to three ounce
doses in a pint of linseed oil. This may be repeated daily for two or three
days. Worms located in the posterior bowel may be removed by rectal
injections of a weak water infusion of quassia chips. The rectum should be
first emptied with the hand, and the nozzle of the syringe carried as far
forward with the hand as possible. The injections should be repeated daily
for several days.

INTESTINAL WORMS OF CATTLE.--Intestinal worms seldom cause serious losses
from unthriftiness or death in cattle. It is in calves only that we are
called on to treat this class of disease. The symptoms resulting from the
invasion of the intestinal tract by the different worms vary in severity
according to the number, habits of the parasite and care that the animal
receives. The usual symptoms are unthriftiness, indigestion, diarrhoea and
a stunted, anaemic condition. Stiles reported extreme anaemia,
unthriftiness and many deaths among cattle in a certain section of Texas,
due to extensive infection with the _Uncinaria radialus_.

_The treatment_ is largely preventive. Calves and yearlings should be
provided with plenty of feed at all seasons of the year. Good care and
careful feeding will keep them in a thrifty, healthy condition and enable
them to throw off invasions of intestinal worms. Turpentine is the
vermifuge usually administered to calves. The dose is from two to four
drams given in a milk or raw linseed oil emulsion.

STOMACH WORM OF SHEEP.--The twisted stomach worm, _Haemonchus contortus_,
is the most injurious internal parasite of sheep. It is a very small,
