E. S'w les, B.V.So., Ph.D., Instittue of Parasitol- ogy, Macdonald College, P.Q., in the publication "The Control of Stomach Worms. in Sheep in Eastern Canada" which has just been published as a farmers' bulletin by the Dominion De- partment of Agriculture. In Canada, failure to give effective treatment for the control of internal parasites has been one of the most general causes of lack of thriftiness in growing Iambs and in many cases of heavy infestation has resulted in loss through death. Ineffective control of internal parasites has therefore been one of the main reasons' for lack of expansion in the sheep industry in Eastern Canada. The purgose of the publication, which describes an effective treat- ment for ,stomach worms, is to re- move from the minds of sheep own- ers the fear of parasites and to as- sure them that there is less cause for worry in Canada than in almost any other part of the world. By that is meant, the methods that can be sled marker tracking three-foot rows. I Three and a' half might be better for some varieties. The • side arms are then removed from the scuffler, which has two teeth left, a narrow one in front arid a wider one straight' behind . it. A team is hitched to the scuffler and the operator sights be- tween the horses, passing once or twice along each mark and bearing down heavily on the handles. A V- shaped furrow six or eight inches deep is thus opened but, some dirt drops back se that the sets are act- ually placed about 3% or 4 inches deep, with a little loosened soil be -1 neath each one. The sets .may be dropped in a straight line without the operator bending his back. A pressure f the foot ensbeds the set firmly in the soil. Even if the sled marks are not perfectly straight the furrows may be made practically SO where the scuffler is driven twice along the row. Straight rows are the mark of a good farmer or gard- ener. To fill the furrows the side teeth . may be put on the scuffler so as to throw out, and run, between the Wows. A. little attention 'with the hoe will cover the odd set that has • been missed.
