 solutely free from ticks. This second 

 dipping should not be given sooner than 

 twenty-four days after the first. Any 

 pupae that may be deposited by the ticks 

 hatched from the pupae missed in the 

 fii-st dipping will be destroyed as it has 

 been found that a large percentage of 

 pupae under four days old are killed by 

 the dip. 



The bath or dip should be warm enough 

 to prevent chilling the animals. A mini- 

 mum of 6.5 F. and a maximum of 9-5 'F. 

 should be the range in temperature. 

 Following the directions given on the 

 container bath as to temperature and 

 for time in the dip. Do not dip on a 

 cold windy or stormy day. Dip when 

 conditions are such that the sheep will 

 dry quickly after being immersed. Ten 

 days after the shearing is a good time 

 to give them their first dipping, if they 

 are heavily infested, otherwise .July or 

 August is suitable. 



The sheep should be handled carefully 

 at dipping. They should not be dipped 

 immediately after a long hot drive, but 

 should be allowed to cool off. The heav- 

 ier sheep should be dipped first. A good 

 practice to follow is to dip the rams first 

 then the ewes followed by the lambs. 

 All should have access to water just 

 prior to being dipped. Where the flocks 

 are large, the work should be .so planned 

 that the dipping will be over in plenty 

 of time for the sheep to dry before night. 

 When through dipping, the left-over dip 

 should be disposed of either by spreading 

 on hare-grouyid where it will be absorbed 

 or, by burying. 



The cost of dipping varies from three 

 cents per head to five or six cents depend- 

 ing upon varying conditions, and the 

 kind of dip used. 



Dipping, which consists of immersing 

 the whole body, head and all, is the only 

 practical method of eradicating sheep 

 ticks. To be effective, the "dip" must 

 actually come in contact with some part 

 of the tick. The three ways in which 

 this may take place are, first, by passage 

 through the mouth parts into the diges- 

 tive system, second, by a form of inhala- 

 tion or breathing by which the effective 

 part of the dip is taken in through the 

 breathing pores or stigmata and reaches 

 the respiratory organs and, third, by 

 absorption. This takes place a passage 

 of the liquid through the skin. 



Dips may be classified in three or more 

 groups: First, nonvolatile to which be- 

 long the arsenic group ; second, nicotin 

 or tobacco group; and third, coal-tar- 

 creoste and cresylic acid group. Group 

 one kills mostly by ingestion and partly 

 absorption ; two, mostly by absorption 

 and to some extent by ingestion and res- 

 piration ; three, by respiration of the 

 gases given off and to some extent by 

 absorption H. E. Haslett.
