ARE F|GHT|NG SCAB
GOVERNMENT URGES THE
PROPER USE OF DIPS.
Department of Agriculture Issues a
Bulletin Covering the Subject
Urges Regular Use of Dips and
Prefers Lime and Sulphur When
Available--Carbolic Acid Dip Has
Also Proved to Be Valuable.

The United States department Of
agriculture has recently issued Far
mers' Bulletin No. 15s, on "Scab in
Sheep.' The bulletin was prepared
by DR.. Salmon, chief of the bureau of
animal industry. 1t contains a COM
prehensive discussion OF sheen scab.
showing descriptions of several kinds
of dipping plants suitable for use on
small and large farms.
The bulletin concludes with the
FEDERAL laws and regulations relative
to sheep scab. Special stress is laid
upon the Importance of proper use
'Of dips, and points out that in many
cases the directions are not followed
by the sheepmen, and weaker proper
'tions than Is advisable are used and
sheep are hurried through the swim,
and then not placed under favorable
conditions as they should.
This is due largely on account of
the desire to ,economize time. labor
and expense. If the directions are
followed, favorable results may be
expected. 1t is clearly shown that
the cheapest and best way to cure
scab ON sheep'is by dipping the sheep
in some kind of liquid that will de-
stroy the parasites. 1t shows how to
select dip and favors the use of lime
and sulphur dips when properly
made.
Ten steps are given that should be
taken in the dipping process. II a
prepared dip is used which does not
contain sulphur, it is always safer to
add 16 1-2 pounds of sifted flowers
of sulphur to every 100 gallons of
water, especially If after dipping the
sheep have to be returned to the old
pastures.
The bulletin favors the use of lime
and sulphur as far as possible, and
discredits the use of a prepared dip
which has carbolic acid as a base,
and sustains this position by referring
to the experience of many thousands
of woolgrowers in the United States
and other countries. However, DR..
Salmon admits that carbolic acid dips
are of value If properly made. In
reference to the use of sulphur dips,
the bulletin gives the following sum-
mary:
To summarize, the position of the
bureau of animal industry on the
lime and sulphur dips is as follows:
When properly made and properly
used. these dips are second to none
and equaled by few as scab eradicat-
orK
There is always some injury to the
wool resulting from the use of these
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1904-11-10

dips, but when properly made and
properly used upon shorn sheep II is
believed that this injury is so slight
that 1t need not be considered; on
long wool the injury is greater and
seems to vary with different wools,
being greater on a fine than on
coarse wool.
This injury consists chiefly in a
change in the microscopic structure
of the fibre caused by the caustic ac-
uon OF the ooze. When improperly
used the lime and sulphur dips are
injurious and dangerous, and in
these cases the cheapness of the in
gradients does not justify their use.
Where a large number of sheep
growers have been using carbolic acid
dips for a number of years with ex-
cellent results, it will be well to note
what DIR. Salmon has to say in ref
erence to the use of carbolic acid. In
the discussion of this dip he quotes
from Professor Gillette, of Colorado.
who points out that the carbolic acid
dip acts more readily than the to-
bacco or sulphur dips on the eggs of
the parasites, and reports most ex-
cellent results from the use of a GER
tain prepared carbolic dip. To sum
up the point, DR.. Salmon has this to
say in reference to the carbolic acid
dip:
The advantages of carbolic acid
dips are that they act more rapidly
than the tobacco or sulphur dips, and
that the prepared carbolic dips are
very easily mixed in the baths. They
also seem, according to Gillette, to
have a greater effect on the eggs OF
the parasites than either the sulphur
or tobacco dips. The great disad-
vantages of this class of dips are,
first, in some of the proprietary dips
that the farmer is uncertain regard
ing the strength of the material he is
using; second, the sheep receive a
greater setback than they do with
either lime and sulphur or tobacco"
There seems to be virtue in both
kinds of dips, and that much depends
upon the correctness of the mixtures
in reference to the amount of in.
gradients used. We would advise
our readers to write to the depart.
ment of agriculture for this bulletin
for we believe that they will find IL
1t much of value in reference to thii
important question.

From all prospects now in sight,
Sumpter has reached the lowest ebb,
in a business way, and will rapidly
advance to her old place in the lists
of busy, live, bustling. solid cities of
Eastern Oregon" said Zoeth Houser
to the East Oregonian today.
Mr.. Houser is down from his mines
in the Quartzburg district and will re-
turn to the mountains for the winter
after few days with his family at
Echo. He will take in a five stamp
mill from Baker City to place on his
property near the Standard group of
claims, and will begin milling some
of his best ore soon.
There are now Is men employed on
the Standard and the veins are show
ing up satisfactorily. He believes by
developing these claims that he can
open up one of the most permanent
and valuable properties in that en-
tire district.
"The smelter which has just been
started at Sumpter," he said, is the
salvation of the city, and insures a
rapid growth of business. From all
over that rich district hundreds of
thousands of tons of high grade ore
will be hauled and shipped into
Sumpter and milled, and the money
all be kept in the city and district.
This convenience will enable men
having small claims to work them at
profit, haul their ore to the 'smelter
and get immediate returns, and thus

Durham, N c., July 23.-An at
tempt was made to wreck the Sea-
boar passenger train between here
and Henderson this morning. Seven
cross ties were piled upon the track
covering a distance of not more than
half a mile. Fortunately the train
was not wrecked and no damage Was
done.
The attempt was made by Lewis
Harris, a demented negro who had
the haIlucination that some railroad
man had done him wrong and want
ed to get even. Fortunately Engin-
eer j. Allen saw the first obstruc-
ton in time to slow down, and by the
time he had passed over this one he
saw another. Running his train slow
ly for a half mile he Knocked the
seven ties from the track.
Just before the train reached the
seventh cross tie the engineer saw a
ngro crouching behind a tree; the
train was stopped and the negro ia
ken in charge. He said his name was
Lewis Harris and admitted that he
had placed the cross ties on the track.
Some railroad men have made me
mad" he said. But did not want
to hurt anybody on this train
The attempt to wrecked occurred
between Tar river and Clay Granville
county.
The negro was taken to Oxford and

about thirty passengers on train and
had the first obstruction not been dis
covered the result would probably
have been serious and fatal.

TWO MORE VESSELS SEIZED.
But Russia Gives Orders That Such
Seizures be Stopped.
(By the Associated Press.)

London July 23.-1:46 p. M
Count Benckendorff! the Russian Am
bassador, has received official notifi-
cation from st. Petersburg reporting
the capture of two more British ships
in the Red Sea and instructions from
his government to notify Great Brit
ain that the same procedure will be
followed as in the case of the Malac-
ca, namely, the vessels will be taken
to a neutral port for examination by
the consuls of the two nations con-
cerned.
The effect of the additional seizures
upon the British gov, rnment has
been to intensity its determination to
settle the status of the volunteer fleet
vessels.
1t is understood that the dispatch
of the British cruiser Venus to the
Red Sea and a number of torpedo
boats to Port Said is an earnest of
the governments intention to pro-
tect British commerce. No warlike
instructions have been given the com
manders, but the Venus will clos~r-.
watch the procedure OF the volunteer
feet vessels. Some diplomatic cir
cles regard this as being in the ma
ture of a threat to Russia but the
Russian diplomats in London express
no concern.
ST Petersburg, July 23.-(3:45 p.
m. 1.-The Associated Press is able to
announce that Russia has informally
notified Great Britain that orders have
been issued to the Russian cruisers
in the Red Sea not to arrest any more
merchantmen and it has been agreed
between to the two powrS that If
pending the receipt of these orders by
the captin of the st. Petersburg and
the Smolensk any other ships should
be stopped and held as prizes these
acts shall be regarded as not having
taken place and the ships concerned
at once released. Although 1t was
authoritatively stated yesterday that
the Malacca had already reached Suda
Bay it now transpires that when the
Malacca sailed from Port Said she
wasbound for Algiers. Unless orders
are delivered to her on the way she
will upon arrival there find an order
to proceed Immediately to Suda Bay
where under the agreement reached
between Great Britain and Russia an
examination of her cargo Will be made
by the Russian and the BIRTHS consuls.
