EL J„ Box 1633, Philadelphia, Pa PATEHlSaS^SH ERADICATION OF INJURIOUS SHEEP TICK Dipping Sheep on Western Ranch. (By LEROY D. SWINGLE.* The sheep tick is one of the worst enemies that the sheep raiser has to meet. The damage that it does is accomplished slowly, silently and con tinuously. For this reason the dam age may not be noticed or thought to ■ be of much consequence. Neverthe- j less, In the course of a year, constant- ■ ly pestering its host by Its blood- j sucking habit, the sheep tick -can ef- ! feet a large amount of damage, which, however, is hard to estimate. If it 6hould require but ten cents worth of : grain more to raise and fatten a ticky lamb than one without ticks, the dam age done in a flock of 10,000 is $1,000. j This is worth considering. The fact ! is that the damage Is more than ten j cents per sheep when the effect on the wool js added. Therefore, laying aside i our moral duty to allay the suffering 1 of the suffering brute, there is potent financial reason for destroying the sheep tick. For determining intelli gent . methods of destroying the tick it was necessary to discover the de tails of its life history. The life history is divided into four ; stages: the egg, the larva, the pupa, ; and the imago, or fully developed tick, i This is the stage that is common to everyone. The egg is aot laid as in the case with mo6t flies. After ferti lization it remains in the uterus of the j mother and develops Into a larva, ! which is laid in the wool of the sheep, j This larva changes into the pupa stage In about 12 hours after it is laid. When first laid It Is covered with a white chitinoais membrane which soon becomes brown and hard. For ' convenience, I shall include is the pupa stage that portion of the larva stage which is passed outside of the tick and shall speak of the tick as laying a pupa. Most people call the pupa as egg. I From the standpoint of the eradi i cation of the tick the incubation pe I riod of the pupa, i. e„ the time elaps j ing between the laying and the hatch j ing, is the most important. None of the sheep dips will kill all the pupae, hence more than one dipping is nec essary. The last dipping must occur j after all of the pupae have hatched. ’ It was found that pupae would hatch in from 19 to 23 days in warm weather. In coid weather the incuba tion period might be much longer, sometimes 36 days being required. Thus the last dipping in summer must 1 be at least 23 days after the first in : order to kill all the ticks after they hffve hatched. In autumn or spring the last dipping should not occur sooner than 25 to 28 days after the first. The question of next importance is how old must a tick be before it lay* its first pupa? Experiments indicate that ticks may lay their first pupa within two weeks after hatching. This means that a young tick hatching soon after the first dipping may reach sexual maturity and lay its first pupa before the last of the other pupae on the sheep have hatched. Theoretical ly, it would be necessary, in order to prevent this, to make another dipping about two weeks after the first. Three dippings placed two weeks apart are certain to eradicate the'tick, if the proper dip is used. There, are, how ever, certain other factors that make it unnecessary to use three dippings, two being sufficient. These should be placed about 25 to 28 days apart in such weather as Occurs in September. It is difficult to determine which is the best dip to use, some being better in certain respects and poorer in oth ers. The effect upon the wool and the cost must also be taken into consider ation. The first essential is that the dip will kill the ticks and not injure the sheep. Among the coal tar dips there are several that may be men tioned as effective. It should be remarked that sheep and lambs with short wool should be left in the dip longer than those with long wool, on account of their drying more quickly. The best time 'ja dip is probably in the autumn. The chief reason for ad vising dipping in the fail is that the wool on the lambs and sheep will be grown out so as to retain more dip. This makes the killing of the ticks more certain. If they are carefully dipped then the flock will be rid of the ticks and no dipping will be need ed thereafter. TJie result will be that the next crop of lambs will be free from ticks from the first. The sheep tick once eradicated will not return to the flock unless they associate with other ticky sheep. The sheep tick will not live but a few days, generally not over three or four, off the sheep. In this respect It differs from the true tick, which may be picked up by the host in the brush. The sheep tick's whole life is spent on the sheep. The pupae will, how ever, hatch even if they are kept off the sheep during the whole incubation period. It is therefore Important to keep the sheep after dipping away from the shorn wool for at least a month. Young ticks will be hatching out in the shorn wool for three or four weeks after shearing. It is hardly pecessary to mention the fact that the attendants should not come in contact with the undipped sheep and then associate with the dipped flock. GOOD DEMAND FOR HIGH-CLASS HORSES W'H - Insistent Call for Draft Animals Cannot Be Supplied—Mare Is Profitable. LESS DOGS MEANS MANY MORE SHEEP \V V, t • - One Big Detriment to Animal In dustry Is Large Increase in Worthless Curs. I cannot concede, all things consid ered, says Secretary Coburn of Kan sas in a recent address, that the Arch itect of the Universe made on this round world of ours an equal area better adapted than Kansas to profit able sheep industry. The one detri. ment is worthless dogs, and this is the Way we rise to the opportunity with a kind Providence confronts us: In 1882 we had 806,000 sheep; in 1910 we had 175,000, a decrease of more than 78 per cent.; in 1882 we had 29, 000 dogs; in 1910 we had 199,000, an increase of about 64 per cent These figures line with the experi ence of all the ages, which points out that no people whose land owners neglect animal husbandry, who side step the manure spreader, expector ate upon a sheep and defy the dog, can have any considerable well grounded, permanent prosperity. (By H. Q. GARDNER.) There Is an insistent market demand for high-class horses, especially for draft horses, that cannot be supplied. On the other hand, the country is flooded with common ordinary "plug" horses. They do not fill any particular requirement or demand, hepce the. very low and profit-killing pflcos for { which they must sell. This insistent ■ gemand for high-class draft horses ! does not come from the market alone. | There also comes a demand from the farm, for this is a day of heavy ma chinery, demanding and increased amount of motive power. Experience has proven that the most satisfactory and economical form of motive power on the average farm is the heavy, sound draft mare. Besides doing most of the farm work she will raise a valuable colt each year, if properly handled. Thus she iB constantly pro ducing a profit other than by means of the work she does. The gelding or mule will not do this and in these days of high-priced lands,* feeds, and labor this proposition is worthy of careful consideration. _ | Keep Stock Growing. Do not let the stock stop growing or producing milk during the fall, for lack of feed or from exposure. Any loss sustained will be regained at great expense of feed, or not at all. Keep the stock comfortable ty sup plying them with shelter from bad weather and see that they have plenty to eat. Money Coming in Year ’Round. While fruit growing brings the money in chunks at certain seasons of the year, dairying is the only branch of farming bringing in money every month of the year. The dairyman who knows his busi ness will have a check going into the bank every month and need never be short for cash, provided he used good judgment in his business. Then when the big check comes from the sale of fruit in the fall he will realise the great advantage to be derived tram this combination. Profit in Goats. Goats may be raised profitably on J land which is unsuited for any kind of cultivation. Salt for Cows. When cows are salted only once a week, they eat too much at a time, and it causes looneness of the bow els. They will eat a little salt nearly every day if it is kept where they can get at it, especially when the grass is fresh and abundant Corn for Hogs. While ground shelled corn is some what more valuable for fattening hogs than is whole corn, it is not, as a rule, economical to grind corn for hogs. EDISON DENIES HE’S A GENIUS Tell* Reviser of Latin Bible "I’m Only Mechanic and Couldn’t Do Your Work. Thomas A. Edison listened intently at his home at Llewellyn Park, in Orange, N. J., as the Abbott Francis Gasquet, president of the English Benedictine Monks, unfolded to him the gigantic task in which the com mission appointed by Pope Pius X., of which he is the head, is engaged in revising the Latin Bible. The inventor, accounted an agnos tic, had asked the abbot: to dinner to hear of the work he has undertaken. When the abbott had finished telling of the tremendous scope of the task, involving as it does the minute analy sis of ancient manuscripts wherever they may be found in Europe, Mr. Edi son turned to him, saying: “Father Gasquet, I want to tell you that I wouldn't like your job. It's more than I could do.” “But you, Mr. Edison, are the genius of the age,” protested Abbott Gas quet. “My work does not compare with yours.” “Oh,” replied Mr. Edison, with a wave of the hand, “I am only a me chanic.” After dinner Abbott Gasquet. in the Edison library, heard operatic arias. “I’m feeling like a boy," said Mr. Edison, when asked if he had fully recovered from his recent illness. “I’ll never take another vacation.” Once Upon a Time. Once upon a time there lived and flourished in a small city a worthy man. He was devoted to his native place; he loved its streets and stones, its strange odors, its smoke, Its high rates, its indifferent water supply, its clubs and cafes and everything about it. Nothing could induce him to leave it even for the briefest period. In vain did the railway companies spread their holiday arrangements before his eyes; he returned with the more satis faction to his favorite seat overlook ing the central square. And, then, one day, the king of that country, who was full of capricious impulses, Issued a decree that no one in this little city should ever leave it again, under pain of fearful penalties. And immediate ly our friend began to be consumed with a longing for travel.—Punch. ECZEMA ON BACK AND CHEST Pierson, N. Dakota.—‘ The eczema started on my scalp. It finally went on to the back of my neck, then on to my back, arms and chest: It broke out in pimples first and then seemed to run together in some places, mak ing a sore about the size of a dime. At times the itching and burning were so intense that it seemed unbearable. The more I scratched it the worse it became, and thqre would be a slight discharge from it, especially on my scalp, so as to make my hair matted and sticky close to the scalp. The hair was dry? lifeless and thin. My hair was falling so terribly that I had begun to despair of ever finding re lief. My clothing irritated the erup tion on my back. The affected parts were almost a solid Bcab. "I had been bothered with eczema for about a year and a half. Then I began using the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
