with mixture of / part cement and
2 parts sand. The walls Of the vat
should be built one foot above the
surface Of the ground. The slide
where the cattle 60 into the vat
should oe three feet long with fall
of two feet. The concrete should be
made as follows: Cement, part;
sand, "a parts; gravel or broken
rock, parts, all thoroughly mixed.
The dipping vat should be covered
with a shed and provided with con-
venient pens, chute and dipping pen.
The Areenical Solution.
The following formula is most COM
monty used:
Sodium carbonate (sal soda), "a
lbs; white arsenic, lbs; pine tar,
gallon; water, 500 gallons.
Mix the soda and arsenic within
kettle containing 80 gallons of wa
ter; boil it 80 minutes; let this solu-
tion cool to 40 degrees, then slowly
add the pine tar.
Other Methods of Eradication.
In undertaking measures for eradi-
eating the tick it is evident that the
pest may be attacked in two loca-
tons, namely, on the pasture and on
the cattle.
In freeing pactures the method fol-
lowed may be either direct or an
indirect one. The former consists in
excluding all cattle, horses and mules
from pastures until all the ticks have
died from starvation. The latter con-
sists in permitting the cattle and
other animals to continue on the in
tested pasture and dipping them at
regular intervals in the arsenical So
luton and thus preventing engorged
females from dropping and reinfest-
ing the pasture.

T- HE SECOND conviction of Bseker

<N~ HE SECOND conviction of Becker is a
 triumph for the jury systen It shows the at1minis stration of crinni Istice in this country. though be set with many com plexities and long delays is not a failure
 Becker will again appeal Some 46 months must elapse before he finally pays the penalty ef his crime. but despite the technicaiities of krimihal procedure in New York state, lie will ErobablY net get third trial. Never it is said zn the history of New York state has man <xer come out of the death cell after his second <pnvietion- Of the justice of the jury ys verdict there can be no doubt.
 The evidence was more convincing than ii the first trial, partly because the wife of one of the prisoners who1 had been execlt- sd fer complicity. no longer having the life nf her husband to save, took the stand for fhe state and confirmed the story told by Jack
 Tn the first trial the jury was out eight hoairss ia the second trial, less than two hours
 Beckerss failure to take the stand mt st nave counted heavily against him. He had the legal right to remain off the stand and his fail- urs 10 testify carried no legal burdens contri- putting to the evidence against him. But his si- lence was eloquent with confession, and heavy with his guilt. He was the man who killed Ro- seminal the mind behind the murder He had most to- lose if Rosenthal should live, and most E0 gain if Rpsenthal died. ss
