Many of the ailments of sheep in this country are caused by P8?” asitic worms. A strong lamb. SEV- ercly attacked by stomach worms. may die in a few days. Breedinl ewes. infected with nodular worms. become unthrifty during winter feeding. and may abort. and sel- dam produce enough milk to give their lambs a chance to make normal gains. What is known as ”Black scours" during the autumn and winter, is caused by other types of worms.

The wastage caused by worms in a Canadian packing plant handling lambs amounted in one year to nearly Sl00.000.000. due largely to the depreciation and extra labour required in handling sausage casing from infested ;laughte.u1 lambs.

Great progress has been made In veterinary medicine. and today nodular worms in sheep can be destroyed by feeding a dose of 'nne ounce of Phenothiazine for each hundred pounds of the sheep's body weight. This same dose is sufficient to rid the sheep of sto- mach worms, and smaller doses will overcome "Black Scours".

By giving sheep a thorough treatment during the winter. both the worms and their eggs are destroyed in the digestive tract, and those that are dropped during the winter will all be killed by frost. It is more difficult to iecognlze parasitism in cattle. particularly it the infestation is slight. Stomach worms and other parasitic infest- ntlons, however. suppress growth and gains in cattle that appear

make better gains and reach full production in less time than those

that lose vigor and waste feed in harbouring parasites.

The University of Wisconsin found that feeding Phennthiazine in small amounts every day to dairy cattle in their regular feed. or in the feed concentrate. destroyed parasites without injury to the quality of the milk. Tlicy estimated the cost to be about one cent for five animals lper day: and that the return in :pl'fJ(lilL'll'llI and gain in weight more than paid for the cost.

licaltliy cattle that were known to be relatively free from parasites were put on a preventive medicat- ,ion that cost about four cents per 'head per week. These field tests in extra gains showed that each dollar spent on Phenothiazine gave an average return of twelve dol- tars.

It had been found under veterin- ary controlled experiments that free choice feeding of Phenolhiaz- lne to cattle not only controlled parasites. but was of value in con- trolling cattle grubs before they reach the back of the animal and .thus reduce the considerable loss 'in hide value caused by the gruhs. and the loss of these valuable cuts of meat.

The most common internal par- asites in hogs are large round worms tascridsl a n d nodular worms. Phenothiazlne has proved effective against both of these. It can be given in the accustomed feed to the animal at the rate of ii grams to a 40-pound pig. or one ounce is sufficient for five pigs weighing 35 to 50 pounds each. After treatment the pigs x'hould.j not be allowed out in the direct sunlight for four days.

While dosages and directions are given on containers of Phenothins inc, all labels should be carefully read and followed: a Registered Veterinarian should always be consulted before using it for horses. sick. and undernourished or physically weak animals.

When Phenothiazlne is given in single therapeutic treatment at high level dosages, a part of it may be drawn off in the milk of

OTTAWA (CP)-The volume of Canadian crime pears to be levelling off, says RCMP commis- sioner L. H- Nicholson in his an- nual report made public Thursday. Reviewing the work of his 6.300- man force, the 51-year-old RCMP chief said investigations by the federal force increased four per cent in 1954-55, but that most of the increase was caused by high- way traffic violations.

". . . The hopeful conclusion can be drawn." he said, "that at most places where the force has juris- diction, and despite the rapidly growing population and the less buoyant employment conditions that prevailed in some areas. no serious criminal propensity has made itself felt this year.

The exception was highway traffic work. However, in 1954-55 the RCMP concentrated greater effort in this field with the result that highway fatalities were re- duced by ll per cent and non- fatal accidents by eight per cent.
