COOPER'S CATTLE DIP 



For Eiadicating the Texas Fevei Tick 

 The Safe, Dependable Dip 

 For Killing Lice on Cattle 



Cooper's Cattle Dip is an approved Dip by 

 the Bureau of Animal Industry, U. S. Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture, for the dipping of cattle 

 affected with ticks, (Margaropus annulate). It 

 is equally effective for controlling lice on 

 cattle. Most cattlemen prefer it to Coal Tar 

 and other Dips for controlling lice on cattle 

 because results are surer and more depend- 

 able. 



In using Cooper's Cattle Dip you dilute a 

 gallon with 155 gallons of cold water, hard or 

 soft. It is not necessary to heat the water. 

 By using a simple testing device the dipping 

 solution in the vat can be used again and 

 again for many months until it becomes too 

 filthy to use, by adding more water or Dip as 

 may be required to keep the required strength. 

 This saves cleaning the vat after each dipping 

 and also saves Dip. 



Cooper's Cattle Dip is highly concentrated, 

 easy to mix, safe to use, decidedly effective 

 and very economical. Don't fail to use it if 

 you are dipping cattle to eradicate Uce or 

 ticks.

Anstrlan Winter Peos 



STRAWBERRY SHOOKS 

 or DIRT BANDS 



STRAWBERRY SHOOKS or DIRT BANDS— Egg- 

 plants, muskmelons and early cucumbers 

 pay well if they come early into the market. 

 In order to have them early, it is a good 

 plan to start them in a cold frame in what 

 are called "Dirt Bands." This is a box 4 

 inches square and 4 inches deep, without 

 bottoms. These ore placed in a frame and 

 filled with good rich soil, and five or six 

 seeds in each box. When the plants come 

 up, thin them out to one or two in each box. 

 Before using dirt bands, wet them thorough- 

 ly before handling or they will be apt to 

 break at the grooves, as they are made of 

 thin veneered wood.

CROTALARIA 

 SPECTABILIS 



World's Best Cover Crop. Build up your 

 soil with this new legume. This new legume 

 produces more humis and more nitrogen per 

 acre than any other crop. It is not a pest and 

 can be easily eradicated and reseeds itself 

 each year under favorable conditions. It is 

 used as a summer cover crop and soil builder 

 in groves, orchards, vineyards, etc. Livestock 

 will not eat it, therefore you will not be 

 tempted to cut it for hay v/hen your ground 

 needs it so badly. This should be planted as 

 soon as danger of frost is past and at a time 

 when there is plenty of moisture in the soil, 

 and can be planted as late as July, either 

 broadcast or drilled. Ten pounds of seed is 

 required per acre for broadcasting and half 

 of that amount if drilled. Grows from 5 to 10 

 feet depending entirely on the locality.
