They will be found attached to the mucosa, and vary in size from micro- scopic objects to worms four or five inches long. Treatment. Turpentine is held in high repute as a tseniafuge and has the additional advantage of expelling round worms also. The fowls are fasted for twenty-four hours during which time they should receive a dose of Epsom salts. One teaspoonful of salts is allowed for each bird, the whole being dissolved in warm water and mixed with mash. Greater accuracy of dosage will be assured if the dose is administered directly to each bird. The most convenient sys- tem of carrying out the vermifuge treatment is to withhold food in the morning and give the salts in the evening. The following morn- ing the turpentine should be given in a dose of from one to two teaspoonfuls per fowl. Owing to the offensive qvialities of turpen- tine it is not possible to give it in food, but it must be administered to each bird individually.
