We think there can be no doubt about
the fact that your cattle are infested

you to do is to get the ticks off of

ticks by means of hand picking or cur

be destroyed by dropping them into a

spray your cattle with a spray pump,
using either the arsenical solution or
one Of the coal tar dips. In spray

that every part of the skin is saturated.
