secretary of agriculture in his annual
report.
Protection. Of the forests during the
season Of 1918 proved an exceptionally
difficult task. says the secretary. An
unusual strain was imposed on an or
ganization somewhat depleted in mum
bers and much weakened by the loss of
many of its most experienced men.
Added to this was the difficulty of Sc
curing good lei for temporary ap-
pointment as guards during the FIRE
season, and parties Of men for fight
ing large fires. An unusually early and
severe dry season caused the outbreak
of serious fires before the summer
protective organization was fully
ready.
Some embarrassment in meeting the
situation, the report comments, was
caused by the failure OF the annual ap-
preparation act to pass congress until
after the fire season was virtually
over. Relief was furnished by the
president, who placed 81. 100000 at the
s~ecretary's disposal as a loan from the
presidents emergency fund. 1t may
be necessary, the secretary says, to
seek from congress again q deficiency

piled as often as necessary to protect
them against discomfort and losses
caused by q ticks. Herds grazing
on infested ranges should be treated
late In the fall or early In the winter
to prevent winter and spring losses to
poorly nourished range cattle. All
animals in an infested herd should be
treated whether or not they show in
festation.
When animals are grossly infested
and the ear canals are packed full Of
ticks the parasites are easily visible,
but when the infestation Is light or
moderate the ticks may be overlooked.
The parasites usually attach them
selves In the deep folds OF the ear or
crawl into the ear canal and follow it
inward, sometimes as far as the ear
drum. Animals badly infested usually
shake their heads and repeatedly turn
them from side to side, meanwhile in
verting first one ear and then the
other.
Restraining Animals for Treatment.
Most animals oppose the insertion
Of anything into their ears. The farm
er who has only a few gentle farm ami
mails to treat may tie them to a post
or restrain them by other wcll-known
methods, but in treating herds of wild
range cattle or horses special equip
ment. such as dehorning chutes. brand
ing chutes or other cattle chutes may
be used.
Ear ticks arc especially prevalent In
the semiarid sections Of the south
western area of the United States, The
infested areas, however, extend as far
north al Nevada and Oregon. The
climate In parts OF Texas. Oklahoma,
New Mexico, Arizona and California
seems to favor their rapid m%ultiplica-
ton. The ticks remain attached to
the ears Of the animals for several
months, and shipments Of live stock
from the infested area to various
points In the United States cause the
parasites to become widely disseminate
ed. but moisture Is apparently detri-
mental to their development in certain
stages. and they do not seem to be

There are thousands today looking

But there are all classes of lands, good,

Canada has no land for sale, but with.
in the boundaries Of the Dominion
there are unlimited acres of choice

EAR TICKS May
Be CONTROLLED
Injection Of Pine Tar and Cotton

tive With Stock.
DIPPING IS NOT effective
Animals In Infected Territory Should
Be Examined at Frequent Inter-
walls and Treatment Applied
as Often as Needed.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Ear ticks, b~lood-sucking parasites,
which infect the ears of cattle, horses,
sheep, dogs and other animals and
cause heavy losses among live stock In
the semiarid sections of the south
western states, cannot be eradicated
by dipping, but may be controlled and
losses may be prevented by injecting
into the ears Of infested animals a
mixture Of pine tar and cottonseed
oil.
Dipping Not Effective.
Unlike the cattle fever tick. which
attaches itself to the outside portions
Of cattle, the ear tick cannot be eradi-
Gated Or controlled by the ordinary
methods of dipping. The remedy thor
Oughly tested by the bureau of animal
industry in field Investigations con-
sists Of two parts by volume Of or
binary commercial pine tar and one
part by volume Of cottonseed Oil. This
mixture is injected directly into the
ears by means Of a metal or hard rub
Der syringe.
In mixing the ingredients the cotton.
seed oil should be added to the pine
tar and stirred until a uniformly
smooth mixture is obtained. In cold
weather the pine tar and cottonseed
oil should be warmed SO they will mix
readily and flow freely, but they
should not be heated more than is nee
essary.
This preparation when properly APP
piled kills the ticks but does not injure
the animals. Cottonseed oil is a fairly
good solvent for ear wax, and the mix
ture p~enetrates ordinary loose masses
Of ear wax and ticks, but it will not
penetrate the hard masses, to break
up which the use of an ear probe made
of baling wire is suggested. The prep
