some iormalin cut of large mouthedI
vessel, and Immediately leave the
room, c'tse and lock the door AMI
seal up the cracks.
Keep the room closed from twelve
to twenty-four hours. (For each thous-
and feet room space use seventeen
ounces of potassium permanganate
and one quart of formalin.) A room
10 10 feet contains approximately Al
thousand cubic feet.
Emning sulphur, as it is ordinarili n
done, is almost worthless. For this
substance to properly do its work, theI
room must be made as nearly air tight
as possible and moisture in consider
able quantities must be set free in theI
air of the room while the sulphur isl

the room in the manner described
above, instead of formalin and potash
SUM permanganate, sulphur in ths|
proportion of four pounds to each|

Break the sulphur into small piecesI
and put the pieces in the inner pan.l
Pour four ounces of alcohol over the

crop rotation, poultry, weeds and in
sects, home economics, etc.
instruction Books Furnished.
For the information and direction Of
lecturers, a book will accompany each
set of charts and lantern slides. This
book will outline in brief form the
story of each chart. Much time and
thought have been devoted to the
preparation of this material The
charts and slides are the results of
thousands of experiments conducted
at the experiment stations under
many conditions with soils, farm
crops, dairying, stock feeding, poul-
try, weeds and insects. This new
work undertaken by the Exten-
sion Department is distinctly educa-
tional, there being no advertising fea-
ture connected with it in any way
The charts will be free, except for a
small charge to cover cost of shipment
or possible damage caused by break

with mixture of 1 part cement and
parts sand. The walls Of the vat
should be built one foot above the
surface of the ground. The slide
where the cattle go into the vat
should De three feet long with fall
of two feet. The concrete should be
made as follows: Cement, l part;
sand, 21s 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 Arsenical Solution.
The following formula is most com
monty used:
Sodium carbonate (sal soda), "a
lbs; white arsenic, 8 lbs; pine tar,
/ gallon; water, 500 gallons.
Mix the soda and arsenic within
a kettle containing 30 gallons of wa
ter; boil it 80 minutes; let this solu-
ton cool to lao degrees, then slowly
add the pine tar.
Other Methods of Eradication.
In undertaking measures for eradl-
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 a 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.
