How To Rid Sheep of Worms. Sheepmen having flocks infested with stomach worms and tapeworms may free the animals of such pests by treatment before turning out to spring pasture. For this purpose a drench of copper sulphate has been found: most satisfadtory in the flocks at the Ohio Experiment Station. Two fiuid ounces of a solution made by dissolving an ounce of copper sul- phate (blue vitrol) in two quarts Of water is sufficient for a yearling, and a two-year old sheep needs three fluid ounces. A long necked bottle or a rubber tube and funnel may be used to give the dose. Most effective results follow when the sheep ure fasted for a day both be- fore and after treatment. Water should not be given for a few bouys preceding and following the dosing. The implements used on the farm represent a large investment, and this investment increases yearly. Every year that can be added to their life represents profit. This is the age of the "iron horse," and umless we take care of our machinery the annual loss is going to increase enormously. Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrh- al deafness, and that is by a constitu- tional remedy. Catarrhal deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound, or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafhess is the result. Unless the jaflamation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deaf- ness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous sur- faces. Hall's Catarrh Cure acts through the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Hate Catarrh Cure, Cire! free. J 6c. jars J. CHENEY a C0. Toledo. o.
