A large number OF owners believe in

in favor OF fall dipping, whether the
fiocks have been dressed earlier In the
year or not In the case OF establish

sirable In order that the animals may
be purged OF all insects or germs OF

ment or suffer from any OF their
troublesome insect enemies during the
cold months OF the year, and therefore
farmers have a strong Incentive 10 dip

animals are, 10 all appearance, com

country who used silos.

turn about on the stalk on which II
grew and would bend toward the
heritage on which II fed, and when
the grass failed II would dry up and
wither away. A singularly shaped
plant recently discovered shows that
there was some foundation for this re
