WORMS IN SHEEP.
Constant reduction in strength, with a cough and excessive appetite, in lambs, are symptoms indicative of parasitical worms in the lungs and intestines. Lambs that have pastured with older sheep are very often troubled in this way, and take the disease through eggs of the worms swallowed with the grass. These eggs are dropped by the older sheep, in which the worms rarely cause any trouble. The lambs suffer from diarrhoea when the worms are chiefly in the intestines, and from cough when they are in the lungs. The remedy is to give turpentine in small doses, as one teaspoonful in a table-spoonful of linseed oil, given early in the morning before feeding every day for ten days.
