Fall dippllil is just as miportant as the earlier dipping, but owing to the fact that ticks may be fewer and more dif- ficult to see, it is often assumed that the sheetp are entirely free from the pests, says J. A. Teller, in charge of Sheep Production- Dipping may be relied upon to kill all lice and ticks, but there is a possibility that some o! the insect eggs ‘may not have been affected by the dp and wi-ll hatch later on and form a new generation. A few ticks in the fall will multiply many times before b95118. hence the necessity for the se 0nd dip- ping. September or Ocober are the two best months for fall dip- ping, but should the weather turn cool, the flock should be housed for a night or two until the fleeces are thoroughly dry. In order to prevent the poison- ing of pastures by the dip on the grass, after the sheep have been dipped. it is necessary to hold the sheep to allow the dip to run out of the wool to drain beck into the tank. This saves the dip and over- comes the pasture p ironing dan- ger. To do this, a form attached to and sloping to- wards the dipping tank must be made. The platform should be large enough to hold ten sneep. Tongued and grooved lumber, or rounh lumber lined with galvan- ized iron would be satisfactory material to use. Hurdles and a Rate serve to keen the sheep on lthe platform until the dip has been drained off. If the dipping tank is located in a, lane or in a corner of a field, convenient hold- ing pens for the sheep previous to dipping can be easily arranged. Live stock field men of the Do- minion Department of Agriculture in all the provinces have sets of plans for building a community tank. and in several districts such tanks have been set up. These tanks have many advantages, The cost and labour are less for the individual farmer, and when ii fall dipping is undertaken involves Pctisidembiy less trouble than if there were no equipment at hand T0 DISTINGUISH sex IN runner) cnlcks 111111011211 it is well known that, Purebred Barred Plymouth Rocks 110111113’. 1-119 Partly rown and adult ma!" c1111 be re y dis-tlrquished from the females by the iypg oi 1111111118 on the feather. there are 11011111101‘. eiweittions in certain cases.
