Experiment Proves That One Dipping
IN Crude Oil Results in an Abso-
Lite Cure of Scsbb:ss
on Cattle.

That one dipping in cri:.e oil results
In an absolute cure of scabbies on cat
tie, has been definitely decided. The
reports of Drs. Crewe and Tracey on
the reinspection of bunch of 700 cat
tie dipped in oil last fall has just been
received at the Fargo Office of the bu-
reau of animal industry. Both reports
have been forwarded to DR.. Ramsey,
who is in Denver attending the meet
ing of the National Live Stock asso-
citation.
The ikea of dipping infected cattle
in oil instead of sulphur and lime was
first suggested by G. H. Stevens, a
prominent Montana cattleman. Two
carloads of oil were secured from Tex
as and specially constructed dipping
tank was erected at Mondak, Mont,
for experiments. On Oct. % bunch
Of 2,003 cattle was dipped under fed
eral supervision.
For the purpose of establishing the
merit of the new remedy beyond dis
pute, fifty cattle in which the disease
was plainly evident, were marked, and
with bunch of 700 cattle driven to
Towner, N. D.
Recently the marked cattle were
separated and inspected. It was found
that not one was infected with the
disease. The entire herd Of 700 was
then inspected but not single case
Of scabbies was found.
The dipping in oil will prove a big
saving to cattlemen. When sulphur
and lime is used to effect cure, two
dippings have teen found necessary,
at intervals OF ten days. This results
In loss of both time and money in
keeping the herd near the dipping
tank With the oil the cattle may be
dipped and then at once turned back
on the range.
It was feared for a time that the
dipping in Oil might injure the hides
but this fear has been found to be
without foundation and not a single
objection to the new cure has yet
been raised. sss

MEtTS DEATH
John WOlters, Atlin Miner,
 Is Killed

John Wolters, an Atlin miner oper- atiug on Pine creek, near Discovery, was accidently killed last week on his claim. George Martin, his partner, was also injured.
 The two men were working on the south bank of Pine just above Discov- cry and were placing sluice boxes in position in an open cut when part of one cf the walls fell and threw them with great force against the opposite wall. Martin, who remained in an up right position, escaped with a few bruises and scratches, but Wolters was caught under a heavier portion of the falling earth and completely covered. Martin hastily extricated himself and, obtaining assistance, the entombed man was soon recovered, but life was extinct.

is to have it over as quickly as possible.
