THE FIRST PLUNGE
Quarantine Cattle Dipped in Oil to
Destroy Ticks.
Tho "BoophfIus Rows" Turns Up rts
Toes and Dies- First Dip n Perfect
Success Governmental Inspection
Next weok.

In our issue OF Thursday last the Vir-
OF q disnfecting plant to dip cattle
coming from below the quarantine line
established by the United States De-
partment OF Agriculture
Hitherto cattle have only been al
lowed to be shipped from below that
line for immediate slaughter. but the
successful completion of this plant will
now enable their shipment to points
North and West to be used as feeders
and stockers.
The Bureau of Animal Industry has
prescribed Il dip which, it is believed
Will entirely destroy the cattle tick and
eventually be the means of Kidding the
South of pest which has hitherto
greatly retarded the growing cattle in
dustry in the Southern States.
The plant recently mentioned is now
in successful operation at the Union
Stocks Yards. IN Nebraska street. Yes
terday morning the first bunch OF cat
tie was sent through most successfully
in the presence of United States In
spector Faville and his assistant. In
all thirty-six head were easily put
through the tank in about half an
hour. The cattle were taken from Il
Ppiill Tie uOTll emu Oh the cattle
pens, driven through Il narrow passage
and down IL chute into the dipping
tank. In their plunge they were COM
Dletely submerged in the dipping pre-
paration. coming out upon n platform.
from which the solution flowed back to
the tank.
The cattle then passed on into their
sheds and Immediately went to eating,
showing no i'll effects whatever from
their plunge. The outcome of this be-
ginning will be that thousands of cat
tic from infected districts will pass
through this tank during the present
year. as it is the only plant of the kind
i'll the Eastern States. 1t offers an
outlet especially for the thin cattle of
Eastern North Carolina and Eastern
and Southern Virginia. which is now
denied them by the quarantine laws
1t Is expected that IN official from
the Bureau of Animal Industry will
soon be in Norfolk and inspect this
dipping plant and the solution that is
here being used in order that he may
make an exhaustive report on the sub
icct for general information and dis
trbution.
