ly damages the wool always, giving it
washed appearance to which some
dealers object, and it also makes the
operators hands sore and burned 1t
has very little effect in destroying
the sheep tick, hence should not be
used in cases where both the mite
and tick are to be treated. The
formula for making the dip is this:-
Unslaked lime. .......S pounds
Flowers of sulphur ... "a pounds.
Water. E. E. .. 100 gallons.
Stake the lime in a little water, to
which add the sulphur, stirring con-
stantly. Transfer the mass to %
gallons of hot water and boil for 2
hours at least, with frequent stirring
adding a little water from time to
time. After boiling thoroly. put the
mixture in a barrel and let it set
tie for several hours, then the clear
solution should be dipped from the
top. To be sure to get out all the
sediment, filter 1t thru ordinary bag
ging. Enough water should then be
added to the clear mixture solution
drawn off to make 100 gallons of the
mixture. The water added should be
hot enough so that the final mixture
will register from 100 to 105 degrees
Fahrenheit. If there is no thermome-
ter handy. test it by putting the bare
elbow in it. 1t should be about as
hot as can be borne with comfort.
The elbow should be washed off i'm
mediately with a little vinegar, so
the skin will not peel.
A tobacco dip is probably the most
effective remedy for sheep scab. In
this dip the thing which destroys the
scab mite is nicotine. Tobacco does
not injure the wool In any way, altho
1t slightly discolors it. This color can
be washed out by the rains or when
the wool is secured at the mills.
Tobacco dip also kills the tick and
louise. II 1t is made too strong the
sheep will sicken and some may die.
Tobacco dip may be made either
from the leaves, or the stems. stalks,
and sweepings of the tobacco. The
great difficulty in preparing the dip
is in being unable to tell what per-
centage of nicotine Is In the tobacco
used. The dark tobacco contains

DIPS FOR SHEEP SCAB
Methods of Graduating the Disease
Which is Costing Kentucky Far
mers So Much.

We spoke last week of the dangers
which are threatening sheep raising
IL. Kentucky, and showed that immedi
ate action by the individual farmers
is required to save this industry,
which is especially valuable for the
mountain regions. 1t was also shown
that the disease is easily cured under
proper treatment, and that any farm
er who wishes to can at little cost.
have a we'll and clean flock.
This weeks article deals with the
method of dipping, suitable dipping
tanks, and the best mixture for Dip
ping.
In the first place it shuold be re-
marked that when few sheep in a
flock show signs of scab it is prob
able that many are sick, and will
develop full sized cases in due time,
and therefore all should be dipped.
Also, when sheep have been dipped
they should not be turned back into
the same pasture or stables, where
there are sure to be mites left on the
trees, posts and in the rubbish. un-
til there has been a couple of months
time for the mites to die off, or till
every place has been thoroly cleaned
with carbolic acid solution or some
other preparation to kill the mites.
There are a large number of pre-
parations for dipping sheep and
many are put up by patent medicine
houses. Those which are good have
been guaranteed by the Department
of Agriculture, and are so marked,
and none which are not so marked
should be used. On all such
mixtures are full directions for using
them, which must be followed careful
ly, especially such as refer to the
amount of water which is to be mixed
in.
The home made dips which are con-
sidered the best are tobacco decoction
and sulphur, and lime and sulphur.
The lime and sulphur dip is very ef-
fective and cheap, but there are sew
eral objections to it's use. It slight

PLAYTIME IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The Educational Value of Play.
BY ]. w. DINSMORE

THE TEACHER ON THE PLAY
GROUND.
For these and other reasons it is
the teachers duty and should be his
privilege to be with the children at
play time whether he shares in
their games or only oversees and
encourages. The teachers province
OF the play ground has been sufficient
ly outlined in Chapter Three. 1t need
only be added that the children should
never be given reason to feel that
the teachers presence is a hindrance
to enjoyment or a wet blanket in
any way. He should enter so hearth
" into the spirit of the occasion that
his presence is desirable on the part
of the children. This is not difficult
to accomplish.
SCHOOL GAMES.
1. APPARATUS.
While no great amount of apparatus
is needed for country schools some
simple arrangements should be proviG-
ed. There should be swings, teeter
boards, sliding boards, horizontal
bar, vaulting bars, swinging bar or
trapeze and a single rope swing. The
little ones in addition TO swings, teeter
boards and sliding boards should
have a sand pile for constructing
works" and should be supplied with
clay for clay modelling and mud pies.
The sand and clay to be enjoyed
should be used in shady places. The
boys may provide themselves with
materials for Quoits, ring toss, bali
games and hockey, or "shinney," as
it is frequently called.
HOW TO SECURE THESE MATERI-
AIS.
Nearly all of the above need cost
nothing but time and labor and this
can be furnished by teacher and pu-
pills. The slight expense for ropes
and boards may be secured by taking
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1909-08-26

variety. The top leaves of any to-
bacco plant contain more nicotine
than the lower leaves, and the leaves
contain more than the stems and the
stems more than the stalks. The
darker tobacco is the more nicotine il
contains.
No money is saved by making the
tobacco dip on the farm as the good
leaves are too valuable to be used
for the purpose and the poor leaves
and trash will sell for enough TO
buy the patent medicine. With the
ordinary apparatus on hand at a
farm not more than Go percent of the
nicotine in tobacco can be obtained.
Taking this into consideration 1t would
require for example 20 pounds of
sweepiugs of dark tobacco analysing
2.75 per cent of nicotine to produce
O.42 of a pound of nicotine in 100
gallons of water.
The formula for making tobacco de-
coctions for the dipping of sheep af
flicted with scab as used by the Cape
Town colony as we'll as the one used
by advocates of the Bureau of Animal
Industry is 21 pounds of good tobacco
leaves to 100 gallons Of water. To pre-
pare a tobacco decocation, soak the
tobacco in luke warm water for "a
hours in a covered pot or kettle.
Then heat to the boiling point for an
instant and let it soak for another
hour or two. Strain the mixture un-
der considerable pressure as in a
cider press, so as to get out as much
ooze as possible and dilute with suf-
ficent water to make 100 gallons.
Then add 16 pounds of sulphur and
stir thoroly. II hard water is used 1t
should be softened with I've, or sal
soda, and be used as warm as In the
lime and sulphur mixture. During the
dipping the contents of the vat should
be stirred thoroly from time to time
AS tobacco dips spoil easily fresh
solution should be made up when the
sheep are dipped the second time,
which is usually from 10 to IA days
after the first dipping.
1t is good practice to dip the sheep
and lambs twice, or IL days apart
just after shearing time. Sheep dip
ped for scab should not be returned to,
the barn from which they came, but
IL this must be done, the barn should
be cleaned of all manure and bits of
wool and the walls and posts should
be washed with a disinfectant to the
height of four or five feet. Cresol
used in the proportion of gallon of
cresol to so gallons of water, thoroly
stirred, is useful for dislnfecting. The
water must be warm, and soft.
Dipping watts can be made of wood.
metal, or concrete. For a small num-
Der of sheep the barrel used to scald
pigs can be used for dipping but IL
a farmer has more than 20 sheep he
should have or build vat. Concrete
watts can be built at a small cost.
Three or four farmers can club togeth-
er and get a galvanized tank and haul
it to their respective farms as it is
needed. The vat should be narrow
enough to keep the sheep from turn
ing around in 1t and deep enough to
swim the sheep. The narrower the
vat the less the dip required to fill
it, Twenty inches at the top and s
at the bottom is a good width: When
dipping the sheep use crutch on the
shoulder of the sheep to keep the
back under water and to prevent 1t
from swimming thru the bath too
quickly. Under no circumstances
should a person get into the dip as
II is dangerous.

TRAINING NEEDED

The boy or girl who takes a straight
year has thlrty-six weeks of schooling
while the one who takes the winter
and spring terms for two years
has forty-four weeks. Now what are
the things that make the thirty-six
weeks of continuous study worth more
than the forty-four weeks taken in
the two different years. twenty-five
weeks each year.
/. The expense to the student in
getting ready for school at two diff
ferent times is greater than 1t is TO
get ready once. This needs no argu-
ment.
2. All we'll organized schools plan
their work for the entire year,
while it is true they also plan for
those who enter the winter or even
the spring term, the best plan is for
those who enter at the beginning Of
the school year. The authorities OF
any school large or small will tell
you this is so. In your country schools
how many times do children repeat
subjects because they enter late
and cannot take the work they could
have taken in the beginning Of the
term OF leave school the previous
tenn without completing the subject.
3. II takes every person some time
to get started to do his best work
Every one knows the difficulty in
taking up work that has not been
done for some time. II makes no differ
ence how many shocks OF corn you
cut last year. you must undergo about
so much training before you can do
your best work this fall. Men who
shear few sheep scarcely shear more
than twenty-five in a day but after
they have hardened themselves 20
the work and know just how to han
die the sheep they shear many more.
One thing is certain no shearer does
his best work the first part of the
season. The big base ball teams prac-
tlse all winter that they may do their
best work In the spring.
This summer the writer worked In
the harvest field. He had not work.
ed on a farm for some time and
while he knew how TO do the work
as well as any. he soon found out
he could not keep up" BY the
time he was hardened to the work
ard could do a mans work the har-
vest season was over.
Just so II is with a student enter
ing school in the middle OF the year
b. the time he is prepared to do his
hes. work the school year has closed.
Hs repeats the performance year
after year and while he improves
himself, he never develops his fun
capacity for work.
4. The student who spreads his
course over so much time not only
fails to get the most out of his
course but often looses interest alto
gether and never completes the work
he planned. You doubtless know Of
many Of this class.
The trouble with most Of this half
converted class of students is right
here: they do not see what a complete
course of training In school will do
for them. They are like the man
who has joined church simply because
he believes religion is good thing
but fails to realize what religion can
do for him.
The student who sees clearly what
an education viii do for him is the
fellow, who gets to school the first
day and wins out in the end. Next
week we shall point out a number of
examples of this class.

DROWNED HIS SORROW
Manager of keteheI and Nelson Dies
at San Francisco for Over

San Francisco, Nov. 1.--Willie Britt,
manager or Stanley Ketchel and Bat
Ting Nelson, died suddenly late Sat-
urday afternoon OF hemorrhage OF the
lungs at the st. Joseph hospital, where
he had been recuperating from a de-
bauch, following the defeat of Ketchel.
Britt was only 80 years old, but two
years ago he drank so heavily that his
life was despaired of, and year ago
In New York he narrowly escaped
death as result Of alcoholic excesses.
Britt was a very clever boxer when
younger, but lately he turned his at

ped Britt, Willus became Nelson's
manager, and it was largely through
his advice that Nelson beat Cans.
Brit coached Ketchel well, but he
made a CHASTITY mistake when he
matched Stanley with Johnson. and it
