It ma}' be given in the dose of i to 3 teaspoonfuls. and is best administered by forcing it through a small flexible catheter that has been oiled and passed through the mouth and cesophagus to the crop. This medicine is less severe in its eiTects if diluted with an equal bulk of olive oil, but, if it fails to destroy the parasites when so diluted, it may be given pure. The method of administering medicine by deposit- ing it directly in the crop can be advantageously used with many other liquid remedies, and should be adopted in all cases where it is important to have the full dose in the stomach in a short time. It does away with the uncertainty attending the giving of medicine in the feed or drinking water, and with a little practice is more expeditious than making and giving pills. The open end of the catheter may be inserted into a rubber bulb having one opening. Jwst sufficient air should be expelled from the bulb, so that the dose of medicine will be sucked up without.
