Lice usually appear in spring and attack young cattle in large 

 numbers, appearing generally on the neck or shoulders, on the back, 

 at the root of the tail and less frequently over the body. The usual 

 treatment consists of tobacco decoctions, benzine, etc., as dressings. 

 The author recommends the following emulsion, which gave good 

 results during several years at the Agricultural School in the district 

 of Belebejev ; equal parts of kerosene and of hemp-seed oil are mixed 

 together and the emulsion is applied by rubbing it in with a brush or 

 a cloth, twice daily, till the hce disappear, which usually takes place 

 on the 7th-8th day. During this time the animal must be washed 

 with warm water and soft soap.
