HINTS FOR FARMERS

Worms In Horses. We here give what a leading veterinarian, Professor C. B. Micherier, says on this subject:* “Among the best worm medicines may be mentioned santonine, turpentine, tartar emetic. Infusion of tobacco and bitter tonics. To destroy tapeworms • aricanut, male fern and pumpkin seed are the best. If a horse is passing the long, round worms, for instance, the plan of treatment is to give twice daily for three or four days a drench composed of turpentine, one ounce, and linseed oil two or three ounces, to be followed on the fourth day by Barbados aloes, one ounce. If the pinworms are present—the ones that infest the larger bowels —injections into the rectum of infusions of tobacco, infusion of quassia chips, one-half pound to a gallon of water, once or twice daily for a few days and followed by a physic, are most beneficial. “It should be remembered that intestinal worms are mostly in animals that, are in poor condition, and an essential part of all good treatment is to improve the appetite and powers of digestion? This is best done by giving the vegetable tonics. One-half ounce of Peruvian bark, gentian, ginger, quassia, etc., is to be givep twice a day in the feed or as a drench. Unless some such medicines and good food and pure water are given to tone up the digestive organs the worms will rapidly accumulate again, even though they may have been expelled by the worm medicines proper. Home and Farm.

Feeding the Chicks.

For the first few days the chicks are fed on dry bread or oatmeal, with some grit and charcoal,' writes an lowa poultryman in the Western Poultry Journal. After that we begin to feed the prepared chick feed.. This Is fed in the morning and is thrown, into the chaff. After the middle of the forenoon we feed chop made from ground oats and corn mixed with bran, equal parts. This is nioistened with milk or water, but very, very slightly. At noon comes the chick feed, in the middle of the afM-rnoon the Chop and in the evening tqe chick feed again. Grit or sand and charcoal are always accessible. Some kind of animal food is also provided. We find milk is good or Dutch cheese. Fresh beef or beef scraps are also iised mlxed with the chop. Of course hard boiled eggs |,are. always very good feed for chicks of all ages. Then there must also be fed some green stuff, and before things grow in the spring cabbage is the best and most available. L . ' ‘ ' Read The Democrat for news

Fly Catches.

Cy Young said the other day to a Cleveland correspondent that he never used a curve ball until he joined the Boston Americans, nearly ten years ago. * ’Tis said that Pitcher Mathewscn hqs taken a personal liking to and interest in big Louis Drucke. the Giant’s young twirler. and is teaching him the fine points of pitching. Big Johnson, the St. Louis Nationals' pitcher, looks like the goods. He has the height and build, possesses a free movement and owns rather a deceptive slow ball delivery.' ‘.Terry Turner has some mighty good second basemen to pattern after in Cleveland. Fred Dunlap. Cupid Childs and Larry Lajoie are a few who have played the second bag in the Forest City.
