Dipping the Flock.
BY Professor George A. Brown
of the M. A. C.

N lPPlNG the flock is perhaps one
~ of the most neglected of farm
operations, and on the majority
or farms where sheep are kept the
benefit that would be derived from d
thorough and systematic dipping OF
the flock Is almost unlimited. A re7.
ular dipping not only insures a heal, n.
Ter sheep, better fleece and thrifty
flock. but the financial returns as a
result of smaller feed bills and grea
er gains made by the sheep will in a
single season pay for the dipping va,
and the labor involved.
The chief necessity for dipping
arises from the presence Of either
ticks, lice or scab. Scab being of such
communicable nature, the Bureau
Animal Industry or the State Llva
stock Sanitary board usually takes
charge, and all outbreaks are quick
ly suppressed. Ticks and lice, espc
clally the former, often infect flock
year after year. causing the sheep
much inconvenience and exacting
constant toll from the farmer. Dur.
ing the late fall and winter months
many inquiries are received AS to the
best method of eradicating ticks and
lice. Dipping, which Is the only meth.
cd OF thoroughly graduating them. is
usually ont of the question at this
season Of the year, or at best entails
considerable risk. Before the weather
Is warm enough to permit diDping. tho
flock has been sheared and as re suit
most of the ticks and lice have lef;

gether with the rush of spring work.
is usually considered sufficient excuse
for neglecting the dipping. Although
the damage caused by the tick anu
louise is not apparent at this time,
there are sure to be enough left on

the sheep to cause serious trouble the
following winter.
Even when ticks and lice are not
present in the flock 1t is advisable 20
dip the flock annually, as the benefit
resulting from a thorough cleansing
of the skin will more than repay one
for the expense and labor involved
When ticks and lice are present two
clippings, ten days apart, will com.
pletely destroy them, after which IN
annual dipping, given as soon aft n
shearing as possible. will prevent them
from getting a foothold. Always dr.
as soon after shearing as the weather
will permit. as the shorn sheep re-
quires not more than one-third as
much dip as a sheep in the fleece. and
much less time is required In the dip
ping, Some one OF the proprietary
dips should be used. any one Of the
coal tar or tobacco dips approved BY
the United States department Of ag /
culture will prove effective IL used &C
cording to directions. The water 70:

from 95 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit and

perature as possible. Each sheen
should be left in the dip at least on
minute. and IL the sheer has bad
case of scab, or long fleece. not less
than two minutes should he allowed
for the fleece TO become thoroughly
saturated. Before leaving the vat the
head OF each sheen should be com
pletely immersed at least once. After
dipping II Is a good plan to turn the
sheep back into the sheds. where the
dip draining from the sheep will dis
infect the sheds.
The accompanying cut is one OF
homemade dipping outfit. The vat
(a) is 30 inches wide at the top and
IS inches on the bottom. This is
much wider than Is really necessary
A width at the bottom OF inches
and 20 inches at the top is plenty large
enough for farm use as the large vets
require too much dip to fill them. The
vat has a length OF 3 feet on the
bottom and 8 feet on the top. and
Is 8 feet inches deep. The
rear end OF the vat. where the sheep
are put in. Is perpendicular. which
allows a gentle slope at the other end

sheep in climbing out The vat is set

kURlos FROM CORRESPONDENTS

Q. Is 1t true that chicken mites are
like certain lizards that can change
their color according to the object they
are on? A. No. They are light gray
in color, except when filed with hen
blood. which shows red through their
skin and gives them the name red
mites.
Q. had very poor success with
geese last year. My stock was young.
not overfat. healthy and mated early.
A. Young geese are generally unre-
liable breeders. They should at least
be two years old when mated.
Q. Why is it so many people fail in
the poultry business? A. There are
not more making failure Of this bust
ness than in other avocations. and
those that do not succeed generally
fail because they do not learn the de-
tails and demands of the business be-
fore they enter It.
q. My cock pheasants are eating the
eggs. Please tell me how to prevent
this. A. Pheasants generally do this
when eggs are exposed. As nesting
season approaches you should place
bundles of brush around In the cor
ners. leaving room enough behind for
the hen pheasant TO hide her nest.
Scatter some small china eggs around
for the cocks to get fooled on.
Q. At what temperature should
run an incubator to hatch duck eggs?
A. First week. 1O2 degrees; second and
third. 103 degrees: last week, 104 de-
grees.
Q. DO you run your poultry plant
by any OF these advertised systems?
A. Not if the system is a get-rich.

business is run on a sane plane la

Q. Which breed OF fowls has the
most perfect lacing! A. The Seabright
Bantam.
