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

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.

symptom in both infestations of lung
worms or larvae, in their migrations
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.
The nodular worm spoils the gut

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
for our hogs here as do the other
producers in Canada and now we are
doing lt.
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

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

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

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. `

seed was placed in storage that at
