GOOD DIPPING VAT FOR SHEEP
Every Farmer With Flock Of Twenty
five Animals Should Possess
One-Concrete Is Cheap.

A farmer owning as many as twen-
ty-fve sheep should have a good
dipping vat. These may be made of
wood, metal or concrete. For a
smaller number of sheep than twenty
five, the barrel used to scald the pigs
will do If the farmer feels that he
cannot afford to purchase or build
q vat.
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 a be
built at a normal cost. Three or four
farmers can club together and pur-
chase one Of the galvanized tanks and
haul it to their respective farms as it
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
Is considerable variation as to the

 Fourth.-The development of the late broods, which experiments have shown furnish the vast majority of weevilS that pass through the winter, is cut off immediately.

 Like many of the most important in- furious insects in this country. the cotton boil weevil is not native of 4he United States. It's original home was undoubtedly in the plateau region of Mexico or Central America. and it may originally have fed upon soma plant other than cotton. Previous to 1892 the insect had spread through Mexico but little is known regarding thes or rapidity of this disper sion

Eats Nothing but Cotton.

 The boil wccvil is strictly diurnal in Its hlbits and is not active after sttn. down. Unlike some related inovctss. 1t is not attracted to lights During .the summer the majority of wpevils do not live longer than sixty days. DurIas the cooler part of the year many of them live as long as six months. The longest lived weevil on record lived from Dec. 10 to the following October.
 The boil weevl passes the winter in the adult stage. In the fall. when froSts occur. immature stages may be found in the squares or bollS. PrOYid- ed the food supply is sufficient many of these immature stages continue their development at very slow rate, and adults finally emerge. Ordinarily. however the frosts that destroy the cotton generally kill practically all of the immature stages of the weeyil.
 With the advent of cool weather in the fall the adult boil weeviS in cot ton fields begin to seek protection against the winter. They fly from 'sa fields in every direction. although :hnir movements are governed par tially by the prevailing winds. They may fly into hedges. woods. cornfields. haystacks and farm buildings.
 Burning Infested Plants In the Fall.
 A number of weevils also obtain hi bernating quarters without leaving the cotton fields by era wing into cracks in the ground under grass. weeds and other trash and into the burs from which cotton has been picked Here. however, the mortality is greater than where the protection is better.
