The afternoon session of the Sheep and Swine Breeders Association on Wednesday was taken up by a most instructive au- t0DSy. conducted at Davis and Fra- ser's packing establishment by Dr. Lionel Stevenson of the Ontario Vet- Hinlify College, on specimens of un- thrifty sheep and swine. In the course of it, he demonstrated the presence of round worms, and lung worms in the swine, and _lung worms and nod- ular worms in the sheep.

He stated that, in Ontario and

Quebec intestinal parasites are quite serious.\ They are estimated in On- tario to cause a very heavy annual lass.

Of the swine whose organs he had

examined that afternoon he stated that one in every three was infect- ed with lung worm and one in every four with round worm.

With regard to this latter parasite.

the mature female worm may pro- duce as many as 20,000 eggs per day. These pass with the droppings of the swine into the pig-pen muck, or out onto the grass. They are resistant to cold, and will retain their vitality for more than a year, even in unfavor- able circumstances.

Both young and adult pigs are

sure to swallow them-the young ones get them off the teats oi thc mother sow if proper precautions are not taken. With age, pigs develop in- marity and resistance, and infection of pigs after the first four months of life is riot serious.

The younger ones, however, are

adversely affected, they become thin

and ill favoured, do not do well, and as many as ten per cent die -from the

effects of t.he parasite.

Wh/an the mature eggs hatch in

the intestines of a. pig. the larvae worms bore throughthe wall of the intestines and are carried into the blood stream where they are trans- ported via the liver and heart to the lungs. Here they make their way out into the bronchioles. and climb up, or are coughed up, the windpipe, They go down the throat into the stomach, thence to the intestines. to the walls of which they attach themselves, be- come sexually mature and mote. In size the adult female may be from eight to fifteen inches long; but the males are smaller and do not often exceed nine` inches. In colour, they are anything from a grayish yellow to a light pink.

The remedy is firstly to stop egg

production in the adults by expelling the worms, and secondly, to provide clean quarters for the pigs, especial- ly brood sows about to farrow.

The pigs should be dosed with a

vermifuge on an empty stomach, after a fm of at least 18 hours. There are several drugs used. One of the best is ietrsehioreihyiehe, which is administered in gelatine capsules. Other remedies are santonin which can be given mixed with a little feed and oil of chenopodium, twormseed oil) which is given mixed with castor oil. in the proportion of one teaspoon- ful of wcrrnseed oil to 2 oz. of castor

oil.

As to cleanliness of brood sows -

they should be washed a short time before farrowing with hot water, and then put in a clean pen which has been scrubbed out carefully with hot water and lye.

addition, in a. heavy infestation of round worms, the temperature may go up to 105 degrees.

The remedies are to keep pigs, as

far as possible on clean ground, and, if infected give terevene in feed as a medicine. Injection of suitable drugs into the wTndpipe, as is done with foxes, is of service, as is also causing the pigs to breathe the fumes of tar, sulphur. turpentine, etc.

Another worm, which is more dan-

gerous butncit so common, is the thorny headed worm. It is provided with a spike on its head, and causes great irritation by boring into the in- testines of swine, frequently causing peritonitis by perforating the bowel. This creature passes one of its lar- vae stages in the bodies of beetles, particularly “June bugs" which swine often eat, therebylbccoming infect- ed. Treatment consists in dosing with copper sulphate and creolin.

Pigs which are infected with

thorny headed worms are restless, and behave erratically. They squeal and lie down; then get up and run.

The autopsy on the two sheep re-

vealed the presence, in one of nodu- _lar worm in the large intestine, and in the other, of lung worm, which is indicated by hard nodules in t`ne lungs.

will be noted! (1) Fertility. (2) Vigor of growth of lprogeny. (3) Quality, as judged from the carcasses of certain of the progeny. It is proposed to identify pigs registered under this policy, by tatooed numbers in the' year while they are still nursing, So Record ci Production will be applied to swine as well as to dairy cattle and poultry. This scheme, said Mr. Peterson, appears to be meeting with 'considerable approval by the breed-

EFS.

This policy has particular signific-

ance for this province, on account of the difficulty felt here vof- securing good boars; here too we should be able to capitalize this plan, and use it to advantage, as our stock is second to none.

Mr. J. K. King, manager of the

marketing board in the Maritime Provinces, referred to the rapid growth of the co-operative board since its inception in Juiy, 1921. Their first year‘s_,business had shown a turnover of half a million dollars _and_ in the next half year the turnover was nearly as great as the first year‘s business, and the Island had been an important fadtor in this.

We should be getting just ss much

all undue costs between leaving your farm and the packing houses. Oni big factor here is too high a. string between the station and the packing plants-greater here than anywhere else in Canada. And strangely enough, it isn‘t always the hogs which make the long haul which have the heaviest shrinkage. Why shculd their be a shrinkage of 14 lbs. whore in Ontario and other places it is cnly 8 or 10 lbs.

Part of the trouble is due to feed- ing up the animals before shipping -a. very bad policy,

MR. I. W. BOUL'I‘Ell.'S ADDRESS

One year ago, at a meeting iiimiilar

to this, at which we review briefly the work of the season. and give any in- formation we may have regarding fer- tilizer and other materials. we felt fairly optimistic, although in the minds of some there was an opinion that there would be too large anae- reage planted to potatoes. 'It was pointed out at 'that time that the acreage planted in Prince Edward Island was not the vital fae- tor, but rather the production of the potato crop in the United States and Canada would affect our prices for the fall of 1928 and the spring of i928. We greatly' increased our acreage

here, going from 45.000 to ii2,000 acr- es; but this was equally true of the great potato producing sections of tha South, with the 'result that the pro- duction ofpotatoes in the United Sates exceeded that of any previous year on record.

The potato crop in Canada was also

a heavy one, and as a result we have nothing encouraging to tell you as to the present outlook for the movement of the potatoes which we have still on hand. V

Your Association exerted every ef-

fort to move ‘potatoes last fall, and was fairly successful up to the latter part of January. It is true that dur- ing the month of December, we could have marketed one hundred or more cars of Tablestock had we been able to get them, but this we could not do. We had great difliculty in get- ting suilicient to fill our orders. We had one steamer leave Georgetown short seven thousand sacks of Irish Cobbler Seed. which were billed for

Result of Year’s Activities Discuss-

ed In Report of Secretary Boul-

Southern points. and which we were unable to get. A

The decline in price, which began

later in_ January, soon brought out au the potawuihrit could beheadi- ed. and in two or three weeks more potatoes than' the 'market would ab- sorb.

It was. remarkable. that I IH-'EBF

quantity of potatoes were handled up to the middle of January than had been handled in the previous year up to the same time. This was due in a great measure to the smaller move- rnent`of New Brunswick potatoes, which became quite heavy at this time. We have no hesitation in say- ing that theinquotations were so much below that which we were re- ceiving, lt came as a shock, with ii gradual slackening up in our sales. i

Today the market is in the most

deplorable condition we have ever seen it. We were asked for quota- tions on seed to be shipped to Long Island, and on quoting what would be approximately one dollar per ten peck sack here, we received s. wire to the effect that our price was impos- siblef Maine was quoting delivered at as low as $2.30. What would net be?

This is a condition which we did

not anticipate last fall, when iri or- der te onset a situation simusi- fb the winte' of 11928, when we could not get cars, we put in storage a consid- erable quantity of seed stock. most of which was sold for spring delivery; and today we find ourselves in the unhappy, position of meeting the keenest competition from the very low 'priced seed which Maine is shipping. `

We were hopeful that when this

seed was placed in storage that at
