a plunge into the black, oily liquid.
The beast is submerged, and walks out
by the inclined bottom Ct the tank, sat
urated with the mixture. Then that
steer is troubled no more with ticks,
and may rub up against healthy ami
mails without danger of injecting them.
The dip mixture is sure death to fever
ticks. The dipped steers are detained
in. pen after the bath, where they are
allowed to dry. They are inspected by
government 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 sat
isfed that the dipping process entirely
eradicates the ticks which cause dis
ease that an amendment was passed
in the last legislature cf that state au-
thorizing the admission of Texas and
Cherokee cattle into Missouri. The
state board of agriculture of Illinois
has been experimenting on Texas cat
tie at Rockford. and large number of
these cattle, which have been subjected
to the process, are now in quarantine
there, and are benefited with excellent
results.
In anticipation of the new plan, Gov
Tanner of Illinois has already opened
that state to dipped cattle with GER"
tificate from the government officer
testfying that the cattle have been
treated. Other states will doubtless
follow suit
Under present government regula-
tions southern cattle cannot be shipped
at all above the quarantine line, except
under quarantine, and for immediate
slaughter. 1t is claimed such cattle at
a northern market are. in the matter of
prices. at the mercy of butchers and
packers, who can dictate their prices
for cattle, owing to the requirementso of
immediate slaughter. The Shippers
have to sell for whatever prices ere Of
fered, or have the cattle ordered killed
by the government inspectors.
In establishing dipping stations ap-
plication must be first made to tire sec
retary Of agriculture, and permission
granted before action concerning their
location and construction is com
menced. The bureau of animal indus
try furnishes inspectors at each sta
ton.
