becoming wasted The tank is filled
nearly full with a dip. This is con-
centrated dynamo oil, saturated with
flowers Of sulphur, the sulphur being
about one-h half Of 1 per cent. of the con-
tents Of the tank.
The operation of dipping consists in
chute, which is then closed behind the
animal. The steer is thereby left
standing on a hinged platform. This
gives way with the animal, which
slides with a plunge into the black,
oily liquid The beast is submerged,
and walks out by the inclined bottom
of the tank, saturated with the mix
ture. Then that steer is troubled no
more with ticks, and may rub up
against healthy animals without dam
ger Of injecting them. The dip mix
ture is sure death to fever ticks. The
dipped steers are detained in a pen
after the bath, where they are allowed
to dry They are inspected by govern
ment veterinarians, to see if they have
been thoroughly treated, before being
passed.
Several States have been working
with the above formula, and the board
of agriculture of Missouri is so well
satisfied that the dipping process en-
tirely eradicates the ticks which cause
disease that an amendment was passed

The milk comes into the city in 16,4OO
eight-gallon cans. To feed Chicago's
daily cow takes each day about 5000
tons Of food exclusive of water. 1t is
estimated that 1900 people are direct

900 people in the city, each on the aver
age consumes a little over half a pint
of milk a day.

There is wide range in the Anglo

There are many who hold that liberty
after a time corrupts itself into license
and that the day may come when we
will have reason to regret the unre-
strained manner in which the newspa-
pers use their prerogatives. This, how
ever. is a problem which time alone
can develop and solve. Meanwhile it is
worth rejecting that the freedom Of
the newspapers means the freedom Of
the masses. and as long as neither
transcends the bounds of rationalism
1t is not in order to fear for the events
Of the future.

GOOD NEWS FOR
STAMP GETTERS

~ issued by the Government Of New
IL Zealand. and It Is one which is
likely to prove Of special interest
- - to philatelists The Government
decided some time ago to establish
pigeon messenger service between Auck-
land and Great Barrier Island which Is
several miles from the mainland. This
service was the more necessary as there
was neither a cable nor any other regu-
lar connection between the island and
Auckland.
The experiment was tried and proved
SO successful that 1t. was decided to send
letters regularly by pigeons. and 1t is for
this purpose that the new stamp has been
issued. Letters or dispatches sent In this
way will be known as "pigeongrams" and
each must be written on q small, thin
sheet Of paper. The address must be
written at the top Of this sheet and the
stamp will be affixed to the right hand
corner.
| On the stamp appears the picture of a
yelope IN It's beak. Above the picture are
the words Great Barrier Island and be-
low are the words Special Post" while
at each side are the words "One Shilling :"
Letters can be sent by these swift mes
! sengers twice each month, Even at this
| slow rate the first issue Of stamps will
soon be exhausted. as 1t consists Of only
