hogs here tire allowed to run a.t large In
the woods and when penned and fed corn
they fatten vci-y slowly. A large I»r cent
when killed show a great, many small pim
ples mid sores on tho small Intestines. Our
old hog raisers think that this is all cruised
bv t.'li hogs eating faulty post oak acorns.
Tin.;-" acorns failed to mature this bast .*: i
sxm and w -re gin rally idled with minute
worms. Thev (iho hog m< n) say that when
hogs are affected this way in the winter
tlie brood sows generally in tho next sum
mer. 1 have tried various remedies on my j
hogs without success and now nsk you i
to publish your ideas on tho subject and |
give us a "dead-shot” remedy.
Answer--'A o remember that, about, twen- |
tv-fivo years ago <>ur hogs discharged great |
numbers of worms during tbe late fall anil |
early w-inlir. There was a bountiful crop |
of a.eorns th,at season, and it was the gen- ■
oral belie! that eating the acorns caused i
the worms. But we observed no ill effects
from tiie worms. T!i< n- Is a species of
,lender, white worm that Is .sometimes
found in the intestines, mid it will burrow
Into the walls of tlm sa.m.e, causing pustules
and inll.immaiion. If very numerous this
sP'-e.icss is very dangi runs. The best r< nudy
is to giro 2 ti’aspconfuls of the lluid ex
tra.< t of spiia lie. and the fluid extract |
of ser.n;: at a. dose for a. grown hog and
repent in a w> <k, if ncessary. Give tho
<ios<- on n.n <'inptj* stomach. Os course there
are other kinds of worms, but the above is
tho kind that causes >thc symptoms you
desi ribo.

cobs are easily accounted for by cross
breeding. Before you discover which stalks
are going to produce, red cobs the tassels
have performed their office in fertilizing
the silks of the ears within a radius of
many yards. One or more grains of corn
on a given stalk may have been rhe result
of a, fertilization of their individual silks
by* pollen from .:i stalk that has, or will
have, red cobs. The result may be a grain
or grains, that wlil next year produce ears
with red cobs, end so on indefinitely*. We
do not believe In planting by tiie moon,
but will not discuss that question.
Witches’ Stirrups Again.
Dr. J.. Cypress, S. ('.. says that the
witches stirrups are caused by a secretion
from tho roots of tho hair, a sort of dan
druff. which causes itching and the "horse
rubs the side of the neck against some ob
ject.” The cure Is to "wa.sb the mane
and tall three or four times yearly* 1n hot
soapy water with two tnblespoonfuls cf
aqua ammonia to every* gallon of tho hot
soapsuds, rubbing it well into the roots of
the hair.
We would say that the dandruff (mango
or lice) causes tbe itching, tbe itching
Induces the rubbing and the ruibbing causes
the tangling into ''witches stirrups. We
suggootKi early in the discussion tint t.i-se
stirrups were caus' d by* rubbing, aided by
tbe peculiar condition of the atmosphere..
Os co.urse it would be inf erred Hmt tuo
rubbing is Induced by itching, and it might
bo inferred that tiie itching i< co used by*
a mangy or scurfy or lousy condition of
the skin. We understood, however, that
the scope of tire question as originally
stated was simply what was ti»<y direct
cause of the stirrups.
Dr. J. goes on to-say: “And nonr, brother
farmers, how many of you have cleaned
out the scrotum or slr ath of your lior.-.es
within the last year'? The sheath becomes
