KILLING THE SHEEP TICK.
Directions For Kidding the Flock Of
Pest That infests Fleece.

Before the sheep are taken into win
ter quarters, if infested with ticks.
they should be dipped. Any standard
proprietary dip will produce effective
results provided the directions of tile
manufacturers are carefully followed.
To be assured of obtaining a good
quality Of dip the farmer who raises
but a small number Of sheen should
club together with others so as TO
make it worth while to buy directly
from the manufactures. A tub or
trough large enough to hold a sheep
Will answer the purpose for q small
flock. There should be, besides this,
a small pen connected with the dip
ping trough with the floor slopiny to-
ward it, wherein the sheep NAV he
permitted to drain. The wool of the
sheen, especially if long, will soak 10
a large quantity Of dip. Il part of which
can be saved by k~ccping the sheep in
a draining pen for several minutes.
For the average sheep breeder rails
Ing a hundred or more sheep a more
elaborate dipping tank is required.
"A tank can be made by n regular
tinsmith from galvanized iron or n
wooden frame can be constructed and
lined with a thin layer of this material.
For that matter. the entire tank can be
made out of pine or some such materi-
al. h joints being we'll covered with
pitch to prevent leaking. Matched
lumber should be used.
The sheep should remain in the dip
ping fluid at least one minute, and. bet
ter, two minutes. The dipping fluid
should be ~lukewarm. Guard. however,
against having 1t so warm as to give
the sheep a sudden chill when they
return to the cold air. Dipping should

PROPER TIME FOR PRUNING.
Subject on Which All Fruit Growers
Do Not Aurce.

Quite a difference OF opinion exists
among fruit growers in regard TO the
proper time and manner OF pruning
different varieties Of fruit trees. In
California and the western country all
fruit trees are pruned early In the
winter.
Long experience has shown this to
be h best, as then help is the cheap
est and easiest obtained, an important
matter where help is as high and diff
ficult to obtain as 1T is In those states.
Pruning, With thcm, is expensive and
Is lone IN a very thorough manner.
$50 much so that most people would
think the trees ruined: but, on the
contrary, It only payes the way for a
crop Of exceptional size and quality.
If the trees are left unpruned the
tendency IS to grow WOOD at the ex-
pcnSe Of fruit. Severe pruning pro-
duces more fruit and less wood.-Farm
