Effective Solutions.
There are number of solutions
which are effective in destroying sheep
ticks. Among these, coal-tar creosote,
cresol, and nicotine dips may be pur-
chased ready-prepared. The lime-sul-
phur-arsenic solution can be made at
home, but it is difficult to prepare and
its poisonous qualities necessitate spe-
cial precautions in it's use. Complete
details In regard to the various kinds
of dips and the most effective methods
of administering them are contained
in a new publication of the United
States department of agriculture,

The cost of dipping varies consider.

DIPPING FOR sCAB HELPS CONTROL TICKS

From the United States Department OF
Agriculture)
There is some danger, according to
agricultural authorities, that the sheen
tick may become source of consid-
cradle loss to farmers and stockmen
In those localities In which the dipping
practiced for some years In order to
eliminate sheep scab has been largely
discontinued. Dipping for scab has
helped to control the sheep tick in
those localities, which consequently
have been comparatively free from this
pest for number of years. Now,
however, 1t appears that sheep ticks
are becoming nuisance In the areas
where systematic dipping was former
ly carried on, and they are likely to
cause great deal of damage If steps
are not taken to control them.
Sheep Are Restless.
The sheep tick is wingless para
site fly which spends its entire life on
the sheep. 1t obtains its food by pune
turing the skin and feeding on the
blood and lymph of the animal. The
irritation thus caused, especially in
the case of lambs, is great, and the
constant drain Of blood may In time
become serious. Infested sheep are so
restless that they do not feed well and
are in general less thrifty than tick
free flocks. These conditions hamper

WORLD NEEDS WOOL
TO MEET SHORTAGE
Retention of Entire Lamb Crop of
This Spring Until 1918 viii
Assist Greatly.
(By MARION WELLER. Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station.)

| tBy MARION WELLER, Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station.)
The world needs wool as never be-
fore. A British authority recently
made the statement that one-third of
the wool supply was going into uni
forms. Now that the United States
has entered the war the proportion
going into uniforms will be still larger.
This will mean less wool for the civil
ian population. How is the wool
shortage to be met?
1t can be met in part, says the live
stock subcommittee of the state com
mittee on food production and con-
servation by the retention of the entire
lamb crop of this spring until 1918, in
order that the wool clip may be in
creased. 1t can also be met In part by
the use of the shoddy made from dis
carded clothing, clippings from the
clothing factories and rags that con-
tain wool.
In other countries this latter source
of wool supply is regularly counted on.
Remnants such as those mentioned are
baled and sent to shoddy mills, where
they go through machine that pulls
them apart and delivers the fiber in a
fluffy mass. This fiber is carded again,
spun into yarn and woven into cloth.
Sometimes it is blended with new wool
for the better fabrics, or may be mixed
with cotton for the cheaper fabrics.

man Catholic and Knight of Column
bus, solicitor for the Court Of Record
for Escamoia county. Now everyone
knows that Mr.. Cats was elected gov
cynor merely because Of his supposed
hatred Of the Catholics-but for this
fact he would not have received a
thousand votes in the primary. In
all his speeches and in his campaign
literature he sWore that he would
never appoint Catholic to Office
that he would have his right arm
severed ere he would sign commits
sion for one of the Roman hierarchy .
etc. Now, we find that in one of the
very first appointments made, the
