The erst speaker of the day WAS to
have been H. j. Giltlman, secretary OF
tbe Montana Wool Growers associa-
zion Helena, But he was not able 10
hs nresent so the next speaker on the
llst appeared, DR.. E. D. Titus of Mime
anolis who handed out a hot roast LOT
the department of agriculture to con-
slider on the subject OF Government
pIpsv His most important statement
was made towards the last OF MS
address when he said u consider that
the stockmen Of this country nave lost
M,llIons OF dollars through the incom-
Ans,ercv of those in charge Of the pu-
heau Of animal industry" The occasion
of the doctors remark was the Iact
that years ago he had Compounded
specia sheep dip. but which the ON
Gals of the department at washington
were Indisposed TO consider until de-
mAnds from various sections OF the
country induced them to recognize Ut.
Titus claims. The speaker exhibited
a case OF walls containing various
chemical preparations for disinfectins
and cleansing, based on coal tar prep
arations. noticeably benzole, observing
at the same time, 1T is the fault or
the government that you stockmen can
not buy this sheep dip at 80 cents a
gallon" showing perfected dip prep
arauon. The speaker said he went TO
Texas early In the nineties to study
animal diseases peculiar to that sec
ton Of the country, and found that
the tobacco dip was not reliable. The
sulphur-lime did the work expected
Of II; only II did more, II burned the
wool as II is a caustic, and injured
the sheep. The application had to be
made with hot water. which made 1t
easy for the animals TO catch cold and
then die from pneumonia. DR.. Titus
then devised a dip which could be APP
piled with lukewarm water and avoid
ed all the undesirable effects of the
Ime-sulphur article. But he was told
in Texas that the department. would
give him no show. and If he ever sue
oeeded in Introducing his dip through
government agencies he would be a
good deal older and grayer than he
was then. The speaker said he did
try, and II had taken five years of
hard fighting TO secure recognition
from the government. In April, 1891,
when he sent his first communication
TO Washington offering to send on sew
eral barrels Of Representation at his own
Expense. The reply from DR.. Earring
ION was curt and brief: This depart
ment, In the interest of the stockrais-
Hs, has decided 10 make no further ex-
periments."
pr TITUS then wrote 10 Secy. Wilson.
Inc reply, curt and brief, like the other,
suggested to the surgeon that the same
