Dipping Vat Material.

Dipping watts are made of various
materials, but the most durable is &C.
ment. The vat should be set in the
ground at a convenient place where
there is good surface drainage away
from the vat. A suitable size for a
vat in which to dip hogs is 10 feet long
at the top, 8 feet long at the bottom,
1 foot wide at the bottom, and 2 feet
wide at the top. 1t should be deep
enough so that the hogs will be COM
pletely immersed in the dip and will
not strike the bottom of the vat when
they plunge. If possible, the vat should
be located so that pinch drain nine
may lead from the bottom of the vat
to facilitate emptying and cleaning,
otherwise it is necessary to pump or
dip out the contents of the vat In order
to clean it. Do not use old, filthy dip.
but clean and recharge the vat before
dipping again if the dip has become
very dirty or If 1t has stood a long time
In the vat. The end where the hogs
enter should be perpendicular and the
entrance should be on a slide. The
other end should slope gradually, with
cleats to provide footholds for the hogs
for emerging after dipping. dipping
vat is very useful wherever a large
number of hogs are kept.

LIme-SuIphur Solution,

Another remedy for mango is lime

highly effective in destroying lice. 1t
must be used warm 600 degrees F.),
and the hogs should be dipped twice
with an interval between clippings of
seven to ten days. Lime-sulphur dip
may be purchased in concentrated
form, or 1t may be prepared at home
as follows: Stake ten pounds of quick
lime with sufficient water 10 make a
thin paste, and stir in % pounds of
fine sulphur blowers or -FOUR. Boil
this mixture for two hours in % or 30
gallons of water. Allow the sediment
to settle in tub or barrel. Draw off
the liquid into the vat Carefully avoid
disturbing the sediment), and add suf-
ficient warm water to make 100 gal
Ions. The dipping solution in the vat
may be maintained at the proper tenn
perature by steam brought by pipe or
hose from a boiler.

sol compound, coal-tar dips, and mic
otine dips may be purchased at the
drug store.
For mango crude petroleum is more
effective than the ordinary stock dips.
1t is also destructive to lice. The vat
may be filled with the oil or half filed
with water before the oil is added. If
one dipping does not effect cure the
treatment should be repeated in one or
two weeks.
Owing to the great variation in the
composition of crude petroleum from
different localities and the greater in
furious effects of some crude oils than
of others, crude petroleum, If of a kind
not used before, should be tested on a
few animals before extensive treat
ment is undertaken. Animals treated
with crude petroleum should be provid-
ed with plenty of shade and water.
They should not be- dipped in oil in
very cold or very warm weather. One
of the best varieties of oil for use on
live stock Is Beaumont crude petrol
cum, and oils of similar composition
are more likely to be satisfactory than
those which vary widely from it. The
specifications are as follows: Specific
gravity ranging from 2215 degrees to
241a degrees Baume; 40 per cent of
the bulk boiling between 200 degrees
and 300 degrees c.. IN TO ~ per cent

SPORTS PLAY POKER

Raid Doesn't Prevent Finishing
Friendly Little Game.

Thirty good sports were interrupted
by the police IN a little poker game
IN Ninth street DOOlToom early yes
terday morning, but managed to finish
their game at the First prepinct police
station.
The police are scandalized over the
occurrence and deny it Yehemently.
The raid was at 6l0 Ninth street,
shortly before l o'clock. Thirty plain
clothes policemen had quietly sur
rounded the building and discovered
that about 30 men were in an up
stairs room. They knocked on the
door and were cordially admitted.
but they were too late. The police
men could not even find cards or
chips. The men around a big table,
mostly good sports around town, were
shocked at the idea that they would
gamble.
The 30 men, however, including two
alleged to be propr.etors, were load
ed into police patrol wagons and haul
Ell to the First precinct station. There
the police officers took the two al
legged prOprietors into a private office
to grill them and put the other men
into the pen, without a guard inside
the room.
Some of the men happened to have
for reasons of their own-decks of
cards, and some had chips, and some
had money, and so they just resumed
the, little game the police had in
terrupted. One man won $50 in the
game, he Is boasting about town.
When the police were heard ap-
preaching, the game was ended quick
ly, and q of them heard the glad
news that they could go on their own
recognizance.
