be used for dipping and disinfecting.
For dipping, mix in the proportion of
one gallon to 100 gallons of water; for
disinfecting, in the proportion of three
gallons to 100 gallons of water. Coal
tar stock dips and nicotine stock dips
may also be used to treat hogs for
lice. For use they are diluted with
water in accordance with directions
supplied by the manufacturers. Gre
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 filed with the oil or half filed
with water before the oil is added. If
one dipping does not effect a 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 d kind
not used before, should be tested on a
few animals before extensive treat
ment is undertaken. Animals treated
with crude petroleum should be proyid-
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

241a degrees Baume; 40 per cent of
the bulk boiling between 200 degrees

Dipping Vat Material.

Dipping watts are made of various
materials, but the most durable is ce-
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
vat in which to dip hogs is 10 feet long
at the top, feet long at the bottom,
1 foot wide at the bottom, and feet
wide at the top. It 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 a pinch drain pipe
may lead from the bottom of the vat
TO facilitate enptying and cleaning,
otherwise it is necessary to pump or
dip out the contents of the vat il 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 ca # it has stood long time
in the vat. The eni where the hogs
enter should be perpendicular and the
entrance should be on slide. The
other end should slope gradually, with
cleats to provide foOtholds for the hogs
for emerging after dipping A dipping
vat is very useful wherever a large
number Of hogs are teDt.

Lime-SuIpkstr Solution.

Another remedy for mango is lime
sulphur solution. This remedy is not
highly effective in destroying lice. It
must be used warm Goo degrees Z. J,
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 it may be prepared at home
as follows: Stake ten pounds of quick
lime with sufficient water to make a
thin paste, and stir in "A pounds of
fine sulphur blowers or f1our). Boil
this mixture for two hours in % or 30
gallons Of water. Allow the sediment
to settle in a tub or barrel. Draw off
the liquid into the vat Carefully avoid
disturbing the sedfment), and add suf-
ficient warm water to make 100 gal

may be maintained at the proper tenn
perature by steam brought by pipe or
