Dipping Hogs.

A correspondent of the Prairie Farm
er writes as follows: 81
81 noticed an item in a recent issue
stating that someone had dipped hogs
with some sort of solution to rid
them of lice, and that 1t has proven
very effective. Please tell me what
1t is.''
Our correspondent refers to our
mention OF the work OF DR.. Peters at
the Nebraska experiment station, who
has proven. we think. by actual prac-
tice. that 1t will pay to dip hogs some
thing after the manner that sheep are
dipped. and we understand that he has
installed a steel tank for the dipping
of hogs. 1t is claimed that 1t keeps
them clean and healthy. Stimulates
their food better and produces flesh
at lower cost than when the hogs
are harboring vermin. We understand
that zenoleum was used in preparing
the dip, and we might state to our
correspondent. and also to Others who
have asked about dip for hog lice. that
1t is prepared something in this way:
Mix one pint of zenpleum to bucket
OF water (this means one part zeno-
leum to thirty pars Of water) and
where apparatus is not at hand to dip
thoroughly apply the above mixture
with stiff brush, sprinkling can or
spray pump: however, we deem 1t a
good plan to dip the hogs the same
as sheep. as by this method the mix
ture would reach every particle of the
body. 1t Is advised to repat the dip
ping or sprinkling for eight days. This
will insure destroying the nits. We
might also add that there is a dip
ping tank being put in at the Indiana
experiment station. and we will look
for interesting results from this sta
tion little later on.-Prairie Farmer.
