how old must tick be before 1t layA
Its first pupa? Experiments indicate
that ticks may lay their first pupa
within two weeks after Matching. This
means that a young tick Matching
soon after the first dipping may reach
sexual maturity and lay its first pupa
before the last of the other pupae on
the sheep have Matched. Theoretical
ly. 1t would be necessary, in order to
prevent this, to make another dipping
about two weeks after the first. Three
dippings placed two weeks apart are
certain to eradicate the tick, II the
proper dip is used. There are, how
ever. certain other factors that make
1t unnecessary to use three clippings.
two being sufficient These should be
pleced about 25 to 28 days apart in
such weather as occurs In September.
1t is difficult to determine which is
the best dip to use. some being better
In certain respects and poorer in 9TH
ers. The effect upon the wool and the
cost must also be taken into consider
alton. The first essential is that the
dip will kill the ticks and not injure
the sheep. Among the coal tar dips
there are several that may be men,
toned as effective.
1t should be remarked that sheep
and lambs with short wool should be
left in the dip lohger than those with
long wool, on account of their drying
more quickly.
The best time to dip is probably In
the autumn. The chief reason for ad-
vising dipping In the fall is that the
wool on the lambs and sheep will be
grown out SO as to retain more dip.
This makes the killing of the ticks
more certain. II they are carefully
dipped then the flock will be rid of
the ticks and no dipping Will be need
ed thereafter. The result will be that
the next crop of lambs will be free
from ticks from the first.
The sheep tick once eradicated will
not return to the flock unless they
associate with other ticky sheep. The
sheep tick will not live but few days,
generally not over three or four, of
the sheep. In this respect 1t differs
from the true tick, which may be
picked up by the host in the brush.
The sheep ticks whole life is spent
on the sheep. The pupae will, how
ever. hatch even II they are kept off
the sheep during the whole incubation
period. 1t is therefore important to
keep the sheep after dipping away
from the -shorn wool for at least a
month. Young ticks will be Matching
out In the shorn wool for three or
four weeks after ehearing.
1t is hardly necessary to mention
the fact that the attendants should not
come in contact with the undipped
sheep and then associate with the
dipped flock.

The sheep tick is one of the worst
enemies that the sheep raiser has to
meet. The damage that 1t does is
accomplished slowly. silently and con-
tinuously. For this reason the dam
age may not be noticed or thought to
be OF much consequence. Neverthe-
lsss, In the course of year, constant
ly pestering its host by its blood
sucking habit, the sheep tick can ef-
Get large amount of damage, which,
Eowever. is hard to estimate. II 1t
should require but ten cents worth of
grain more to raise and fatten ticky
lamb than one without ticks, the dam
age done In a flock of 10000 Is 81 .O00
This is worth considering. The fact
1s that the damage is more thap ten
cents per sheep when the effect on the
wool is added. Therefore. laying aside
our moral duty to allay-the suffering
OF the suffering brute. there is potent
financial reason for destroying the
sheep tick For determining intelli-
gent methods of destroying the tick
1t was necessary to discover the de-
tails of its life history
The life history is divided into four
stages; the egg. the larva, the pupa,
and the Image. or fully developed tick.
This is the stage that Is common to
everyone. The egg is not laid as in
the case with most flies. After ferti-
hzation 1t remains in the uterus of the
mother and develops into a larva,
which is laid in the wool of the sheen.
This larva changes into the pupa stage
in about IL hours after it is laid.
When first laid 1t is covered with
. white chitinous membrane which
foon becomes brown and hard. For
convenience, I shall include In the
spupa stage that portion of the larva
stage which is passed outside of the
Vck and shall speak of the tick as
! laying a pupa. Most people call the
pupa an egg.
From the standpoint of the eradi-
cation of the tick the incubation De-
riod of the pupa, l. e.. the time elaps-
ing between the laying and the hatch
ing. is the most important. None OF
the sheep dips will kill all the pupae,
hence more than one dipping is nee
essary. The last dipping must occur
after all of the pupae have Matched.
1t was found that pupae would
hatch in from 10 to 23 days in warm
weather. In cold weather the incuba
ton period might be much longer.
sometimes SO days being required
Thus the last dipping in summer must
be at least % days after the first In
order to kill all the ticks after they
have hatched. In autumn or spring
the last dipping should not occur
sooner than rs to rs days after the
first.
The question of next Importance is
