DIPPING IN A vAR

DIPPING IN A vATs
Where . large number Of anix
mails are to be treated, dipping in
q vat Is Q convenient and effec.
tive method. Beaumont crude
petroleum is considered the most
satisfactory dip and may be used
either alone or in . 20 per cent.
emulsion. Animals that have
been dipped in the oil, especially
during warm weather, should not,
be driven any great distance i'm.
mediately afterwards. and should
be provided with shade and an
abundance of water.
PASTURE ROTATION
This system Of eradication ap.
peals to many farmers and should
be followed whenever practicable
or conditions will permit. II con-
sists in placing ticky animals in
a small pasture for q period Of 20
days. During that time q con-
siderable number OF ticks will
drop off. Then transfer the cat
tie TO q second small pasture for.
another 20 days, and il all Of the
ticks have not dropped off, to still
another pasture. II the full time
has been used, go days viii have
been consumed and the stock ia
then ready to be placed on tiokN
free pasture. The object of NOV
ing cattle from pasture to pasture
at intervals of 20 days is to cause
ell the ticks to drop off and at the
same time to prevent the animala
from becoming infested again
with young, or seed, ticks,
Twenty days is less than tha
shortest time within which seed
ticks will appear from eggs laid
by ticks that drop off. and all Of
the ticks present on the animals
will have dropped of in the 60
days. The young ticks, when
hstohed, will starve il no cattle
are present in the pasture for
them to get on.
Full information as to how to-
get rid of the ticks, including dir
ections for the preparation Of dips
and sprays, the arrangement of
pastures, etc., may be obtained

ExHAUsTING MINERAL
Papers Published by United
States Geological Sur
vey.
Supply of Mineral Given,

The report ofths National Con-
servation Commission of 1908,
showing the reckless manner in
which our natural resources are
being wasted, finds an echo in o
bulletin (No. 394) just issued by
the United States Geological Sur
vey, in which are reprinted the
pspars on mineral resources con-
tributed by members of that Sur
vey to the conservation report.
The data on which these papers
are based were not obtained es.
pecially for the occasion, but
were taken from the files Of the
Survey, where they have been
sccumplating for years. Taken
together they present q state OF
affairs that may we'll awaken rec
Election.
Coal. Coal is considered first,
and it is shown that waste in
mining loses forever about one
half as much as is marketed.
This half is either left in the
ground In thin beds or in the
shape Of pillars to support the
roof. Coal has been extensively
mined in the United States for
not much more than half a cen.
tury, but the consumption is in.
creasing 20 enormously that II
this increase should continue all
the easily accessible coal would
be exhausted by the year 204(
and al coal by the middle cf The
twenty-first century. II will, oi
course, not continue ct such q
rate, for the increasing scarcity
will raise prices and check con-
sumption. Water power, too,
will undoubtedly largely take iti
place.
PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS
With regard to petroleum the
situation is a good deal more SER
ious. Petroleum has been used
for less than fifty years, and It il
estimated that the supply viii
last only about twenty-five o.
thirty years longer If produc'
ton is curtailed.and waste stop
ped it may last until the end o
the century. The most impor
tant effects Of its disappearans'
will be in the lack of lubricant
and in the loss Of illuminsnts
Animal and vegetable oils vii
not begin to supply its place
This being the case, the rockies
exploitation Of oil fields and tn
consumption Of oil for fuel shoul
be checked JAY
In natural gas the. waste |

hours. The gas supply will lsi

FREE CATTLE OF TICKS
Methods Given By Which
Cattle And Pastures May
Be Kept Free.
Spraying And Dipping

From the Bureau Of Animal Industry, United
States Department sf Agriculture, Washing
ton, d. c.
There are four practical meth
DDS that may be employed in
freeing cattle and pastures of
Texas fever ticks: ~ Picking
or brushing off the ticks; (a)
smearing or spraying. the ami.
mails with a disenfection solution; |;
(3l dipping the 'ticky" animals
in Q vat containing solution
capable Of killing the ticks with
out injury to the cattle; (4) q
systematic posture rotation n
whereby tha ticks are eliminated
by changing the cattle to one
pasture after another, allowing
the ticks to drop of, and prevent
ing new ticks from getting on the
cattle.
In sections where there are
large herds and ranches, dipping
or spraying on q large scale has
been successfully carried out,
either alone or in conjunction
with pasture rotation, while in
other sections, where the cattle
on farms consist of only q few
head, hand dressing with oil has
been found TO be the most prac-
teal plan. The methods above
suggested, therefore, apply to
different sections Of the country,
and the stockman or farmer
should select the one which ID
best suited to his particular case
PICKING OR BRUSHING OFF TIL
TICKS.
| Where the herd b small the
ticks may be picked of by hand
or sorapsd off with . dull knife
or currycomb. This should bt
done ct least three times o weeh
in order to remove ell the large
ticks before they mature and fal
off, as by this system the smaller
ticks which at first escape deteo'
ton will be found before they are
fully developed. After remova
the ticks should be destroyed
preferably by burning. Car,
should be taken to 60 over th'
animals thoroughly, and aftel
onoe going over they should no
be neglected, as ticks may b.
picked up, from time to time. |
this work is, thoroughly done AM
no ticks allowed to fall off an,
lay eggs from June 1 to- the snC
Of November, the cattle will b,
free from ticks and the pasture
clean.
SWEARING OR SPRAYING.
Greasing the animals all owe
thoroughly with ootton-seed oil
} fish oil, or Beaumont crude pc
! troleum will assist in preventing
} the ticks from getting upon ther
} and destroy the. ticks already O

cotton seed oil, and 1'pound @
