The capacity of the vat herein described is 1470 gallons. In

Precautions. 



Arsenical solution is poisonous and must be handled carefully. 

 Cattle should be watered before dipping and should be allowed to 

 drain off before leaving the dripping pen in order to prevent the 

 solution getting on grass or pasture plants. It is, perhaps, best to 

 dip in early morning or late evening when possible to do so.
