Show LICE INFECTED FARM ANIMALS Innecta More TroubUnoms During Sprlns When Live Stock Kept Iiisld. Unlit Warm Weather Arrlvts, 111)41 II. WKATIIKIlMTilNI-: I l.lco seem to bo moro troublesome during the spring when tho turin animals ani-mals uro kept Insldo until warm weal her comes than at any other time during tho year and aa soon as an animal la discovered to bo lousy, the lice should bo destroyed at once. We have found a strong decoction of tobacco to-bacco an excellent wash for the pur. Ikiso of destroying lice, but during recent yeara we have been using a mixture of crude oil and crude car-bollo car-bollo acid mlied 6u parts crude oil to one part crude carbolic acid, and find that thla does the work In a very thorough and effective manner. On the cattle we apply It with a hand sprayer, but for Ihe hogs we prefer to use a brush, or to sat urate a few gunny surks or old blankets and wind them around a post In the hog yards and allow Ihe hogs to make their own toilets by rubbing against these posts. They wilt soon learn how to apply the mixture where It Is most needed and will keep themselves free from these iiests If their beds and houses are kept clean and disinfected. |
