wanted. dipping vat for sheep
should be narrow enough to prevent
the sheep turning around In 1t, and
deep enough to swim large sheep.
The length OF the vat should depend
upon the number OF sheep which can
be dipped in a day. There Is consfd-
cradle variation as to the width Of
vats found on different farms, and A.
usual thing they are wider than
necessary. Then. too, the narrower
the vat the less the dip required to
fill it. vat twenty inches wide. at
the top and eight inches wide at the
bottom is a fair average as regards
width, although some very practical
sheep men construct their watts as mar
row as sixteen inches at the top and
six inches at the bottom when the
vat is four feet deep
The dipping vat used at the Ken
lucky experiment station Is located
in the driveway of the hOghOuse and
can be used for the dipping OF sheep
and young pigs. 1t is built entirely
of concrete, the walls OF which are
six inches in width. with the excep-
ton of the partition between the vat
and dry chamber. which has thick
ness of nine inches. The end Of the
vat into which the hogs and sheep
are plunged is perpendicular, while
the opposite end is provided with an
incline which is quite deeply creased
SO that the animal can walk out. The
floor around the end of the vat from
which the sheep emerge Is so graded
that all drippings return to the vat.
There are sewer connections with this
outfit, the valve of which Is located
in the dry chamber. The dry cham
Der allows the attendant to carefully
control the dripping, break up thick
scabs with brush, and, if necessary
help the sheep up the incline, and
also go to the aid of sheep quickly
If 1t shows signs of strangling. This
vat is quite inexpensive
A chute like this can be built with
little trouble. The incline to the vat

hour before being put into the bath.
Each sheep should be immersed in the
dip for two minutes by the watch, the
head being ducked at least once Just
before the animal energies from the
vat. Within 10 or IA days the dipping
should be repeated in order to kill
all mites Matched since the first Dip
ping, as the eggs are more resistant
to the dips than are the mites.
Sheep may be dipped In the winter
in many localities. but warm. dry days
must be selected for the purpose and
the dipping discontinued in the middle
OF the afternoon. If the sheep, after
being dipped. are allowed to stand for
few hours on the sunny side of q

MORE FORD CARS RECEIVED
Martin Walser Was One Of the Early
Purchasers

Seven more of the popular Ford ears
were received Yesterday afternoon By
the MankatO Automobile company. To-
cal agents, and lined up along the
south side of Walnut street for half
block. The new machines attracted
much attention last night
Martin Walser walked over and took
his pick of the entire big lot and got
line one. These ears have some few
improvements over the very satisfac-
tory models now owned by Mankato
people. Principal among these is the
Holley carburetor and different front
spring, which together with the other
minor improvements make the Ford
even greater value than ever.
Manager Allen will have a couple of
ears out of the lot for immediate de
livery, but does not expect that the
stock will last until another shipment
is received, so numerous are the peo-
pie who are Just on the verge OF plac-
ing orders and will have Ford il
any car ut all.
