A good galvanized vat ten feet long
and four feet deep made purposely
for dipping can be purchased for
about $12. There are smaller sizes
than this that can be purchased for
less money. Concrete watts can be
built at normal cost. Three or four
farmers can club together and pur-
chase one of the galvanized tanks and
haul 1t to their respective farms as 1t
is wanted. A dipping vat for sheep
should be narrow enough to prevent
the sheep turning around in it. and
deep enough to swim large sheep
The length of the vat should depend
upon the number Of sheep a man
keeps on his place. as the longer the
vat the greater the number Of sheep
which can be dipped in a day. There

The Worth OF the Voice.

How wonderful is the human voice!
It is indeed the organ of the soul!
The intellect of man sits enthroned
visibly upon his forehead and in his
eye. and the heart of man is written
upon his countenance. But the soul
reveals itself in the voice only: as
God revealed himself to the prophet Of
