164 ORDER HEMIPTERA 



On account of the thinness of the hair, the application of 

 remedies, where necessary, is quite easy. Washes of tobacco 

 water or dihite carboHc acid, and the appHcation • of kero- 

 sene in lard, or kerosene emulsion by means of a force pump, 

 sulphur, ointment, etc., are recommended. The application 

 of fine dust may be provided for naturally by allowing the 

 hogs a chance to roll in a roadway or any place well supplied 

 with fine dust. Where this is impracticable the dust, ashes, 

 or powdered charcoal may be applied directly to the neck and 

 back of the infested animal. The species is not known to 

 attack any other of the domestic animals, and hence no pre- 

 cautionary measures in this direction are necessary.
