q well-organized force of trained field
men, the percentage Of infected flocks
can be reduced very rapidly until 1t
reaches fraction of per cent; but
to reduce that fraction to zero requires
very careful and systematic work, with
the full cooperation Of the sheep
owners. AS soon as the disease Is
reduced to a point where the economic
loss is little or nothing, many sheep
owners lose sight Of the Importance
of continuing systematic efforts for
complete eradication. 1t Is necessary.
however. for the protection OF the
sheep industry that the efforts be con-
tinued until the pest Is completely
eradicated. -r ....
Since the quarantine has been re-
moved and compulsory dipping dis
continued the sheep owners In some
communities have allowed their dip
ping watts to go to ruin through lack
of use and care. All watts should be
kept in repair, and for several years
to come each sheep owner will prob
ably find it wise to dip his sheep at
least once q year az a precautionary
measure. -r... ... #
The only rational treatment for
common scab consists In using some
external application which will kill
the parasites. Feeding sulphur and
salt and various other preparations to
sheep will not destroy the parasites
and consequently will not effect q
cure. Hand dressing, or spot doctor
ing az 1t IL commonly called, con-
sists in soaking the affected parts with
a medicated solution Of strength sum
Client to kill the mites. This acts as a
palliative and tends temporarily to
check the disease, but will not effect
a cure. The only conditions under
which hand dressing can be advised
are % when the disease develops in
a few sheep Of the flock during severe
winter weather or just prior to lamb
ing, in which event the infected sheep
should be isolated from the flock and
may be given hand dressing to keep
the disease in check until arrange
ments can be made for dipping the
entire flock; (2) all sheep affected

The history Of sheep scab dates
back to the earliest ages OF civiisaton.
Il is a highly contagious skin disease

being introduced into flock Indeed,

eases which affect sheep. 1t 10 caused
by small animal parasite. commonly
known as mite" which lives on the
skin. Although the disease Is not
hereditary, it Is possible for a new
Kern lamb to become infected from
ID nsed mother shortly after birth

sheep owner should never allow scab

easily eradicated by proper dipping.
Common scab was formerly the
greatest drawback to the sheep in
dust.y of the United States, but during
the past decade great progress has
4 been made in its eradication. The
system of grazing sheep on the open
ranges of the western part of the
United States was such that the flock
masters had great difficulty in keeping
the hocks free from scab. The sheep

~ tho states north of the Ohio River,
,robab,v no plant bears such oao
as does the so-called can
ada thistle. This marvellously pfioNiS
plant abounds in grain fields, pastures,
and meadows throughout the Cehtiai
West, and is locally common III tne
north ca stern states. 1t Is founo M
parts of West Virginia, Kentucky, ana

Increasingly troublesome In tie gram

Canada thistle, or simply thlstle,
has been condemned In the laws Ok
twenty-five states, and at least ohe,
hundred local communities, no other
three plants together having received
50 much unfavorable attention Ger
tainly no plant Is more generally ana
heartily disliked, unless 1T be the sano
bur Of the southern coastal plain.
The cause Of the remarkable vitality
of Canada thistle and the point that
distinguishes it from other pr1ckly
plants that are commonly mistaken
for it Is the long cord-like perennial
root. This root penetrates the soil AZ
a depth of eight to fifteen inches, or
more, and gives rise at frequent IN
tervals to leafy shoots. Thus 1t Will
often be found that an entire patch OF
thistles Is attached to one root and
Is in reality but one plant. The root
is exceedingly hardy, and can live over
winter or through a prolonged drought
in dormant condition. Pieces of the
root that are broken off by pillow or
cultivator and carried to other places
will await q warm. moist period, ancl
then begin to send up leafy shoots, thug
establishing new patch forthwith. If
the leafy stems are cut down. otherf
