clippings may be required before com
plete eradication ia accomplished. DO |
not fail at the same time To clean and |
dlslnfcct thoroughly the sleeping quar-
ter. Cresol compound (U. s. P.) may
be used for dipping and disinfecting. |
For dipping. mix In the proportion OF
one gallon to 100 gallons OF water: for |
dislnfccting, 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
otlne Dips may be purchased Mt the
drug store.
For mango crude petroleum Is more
effective thnn the ordinary stock dips.
II is also destructive to lice. The vat
may be filled with the oil or half filled
with water before the oil Is added. II
one dipping does not effect n 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, II Of kind
not used before. should be tested on n
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 Il Beaumont crude petrol
cum. and oils ~ similar composition
are more likely To he satisfactory than
those which vary widely from II. The
specifications are rs follows: Specific
gravity ranging from 22h degrees to
24Is degrees Baume; 40 per cent Of
the bulk boiling between 200 degrees
and 800 degrees C.. ~ to IN per cent
OF sulphur.
Lime. Sulphur Solution.
Another rems,.y for mango Is lime
sulphur solution. This remedy Is not
highly effective In destroying lice. II
must be used warm 200 degrees FL,
and the hogs should be dipped twice
with an interval between clippings Of
seven TO ten days. Llme-sulphur dip
may be purchased In concentrated
form. or Il may be prepared at home
as follows: Stake ten pounds OF quick
lime with sufficient water 10 make
thin paste. and stir In "a pounds OF
fine sulphur blowers or flour). Boil
this mixture for two hours In - or 81
gallons OF water. Allow the sediment
TO settle In a tub or barrel. Draw of
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 ut the proper tenn
perature by steam brought by pipe or
hose from a boiler.
Dipping Vat Material
Dipping watts are made Of various
materials. but the most durable Il CO
ment. The vat should be set In the
ground ut a convenient place where
there IL good surface drainage away
from the vat. A suitable size for a
vat In which to dip hogs Ia 10 feet long
at the top, 8 feet long at the bottom.
foot wide ut the bottom. and 2 feet
wide at the top. II should be deep
enough 20 that the hogs VIII be COM
pletely immersed In the dip and will
not strike the bottom Of the vat when |
they plunge. II possible. the vat should
be located 30 that Pinch drain pipe |
may lead from the bottom OF the vat
TO facilitate emptying and cleaning. |
otherwise Il Is necessary 10 pump or
dip out the contents Of the vat In order |
TO clean Il. DO not use old. filthy dip. |
but clean and recharge the vat before
dipping again II the dip has become
very dirty or II II has stood long time
In the vat. The end where the hogs
enter should be perpendicular and the
entrance should be ON slide. The
other end should slope gradually, with
cleats 10 provide footholds for the hogs
for emerging after dipping. A dipping
vat n very useful wherever a large !
