Numerous Nu-merous dips on tho market havo boon used, yet wo prefer tho liquid non-poisonous non-poisonous dips, for they nro moro easily mixed with water than thoso In powdered form, says a writer In tho naltlmbrc' American. For dipping 100 tiwos and their lambs wo nrranged a trinngulnr apartment In tho barn, so as to prevent ehnslng tho sheep as much as poslblo. Ono of tho points of tho Inclosuro Is nt a small door. On the outside wo hnvo a galvanized tank sunk in tho ground, tho top of which Is on tho levol with tho ground floor. As the f.heop oscnpo they coino directly into tho tank, In which thoy aro kept nearly submerged. Tho fluid Ib diluted with 770 gallons soft wqtor to ono gallon of tho dip. Tho shoop nro kept In this for at least two minutes. They nro then allowed to lnovo up tho incline, which contains a wator tight floor, bo that tho drippings drip-pings will run back into tho tank. |
