Oil Emulsion.-Experime with
the different oils have shown that the
thick, heavy oil of low gravity is apt
to irritate the skins of animals dipped
in 1t, sometimes producing quite seri-
GUS results, while the light oil is more
bland and not liable to injure the ami,

only the light, higher-gravity oil should
be used for dipping purposes In Or

pounds, and sulphur twenty-four
pounds. Place the unslaked lime in a
shallow, water-tight box, similar to a.
mortar box, or some suitable vessel
and add enough water to siake the
lime and form lime paste or lime
putty. Sift into this lime paste the
flowers of sulphur and stir well; then
| place the ime-and-sulphur paste in
kettle, boiler or tank containing thirty,
gallons of water, the water first be-
ing heated nearly to the boiling point.
Boil the mixture for two hours at least,
stirring frequently; add water occa-
sionally to maintain the original guam
tity. Allow the mixture to settle in
the tank or draw the entire contents
Of the kettle or boiling tank into
large tub or barrel placed near the
dipping vat and provided with bung-
hole about four inches from the bot
tom, and then allow ample time to set
tle-from two to three hours, or more
if necessary When fully settled, draw.
of the clear liquid into the dipping
vat. The clear liquid thus obtained
only requires the addition of sufficient
clear, warm water to bring the total
up to 100 gallons Flowers OF sulphur
must be used, and the lime must be,
of good quality. The dip must be.
maintained at a temperature between
100 degrees and l05 degrees F. 1t
must be changed as soon as it be-.

OF cattle DIPPED ia it, and in no case
