ever, is no evidence that other
peoples stock is not injured by
the dipping process; but, taken
in connection with hundreds of
1ther cattle which are dipped,
regularly, and only good result,
IS proof that something is wrong
with the watts where stock is
damaged. Since the law of the
and requires dipping, and ex
perts approve it, and the market
for cattle sales justify it, there
seems little else to be done but
to 60 ahead and dip, while at
the same time every precautinn
should be taken against the in
jury of stock. To talk of resist
ing the law is futile.

Question at Court House
Last Saturday.

at the Court House, where ora

All all of the good and bad
paints of the system were lai
bare. With some the dipping
proved eiiicacious, while Others
claimed that it killed their cat

there is merit in dipping has
been proven, beyond y doubt,
an | has been sanctioned by both
FeIerai and State authority. so il
Is reasonable to presume thai
the dipping business will be con
tlnued, despite any local opposi
ton that may be invok edagains
it. Therefore, it seems to Us
that the proper thing to do is t.,
tn 1rougly investigate the mix
ture of the dipping material and
t it really Injuries stock to
remedy this evil at once. 1t is
evident, that il cattle are kiIle
