Redwaier or Tick Fever, 



THE following are the concluding re- 

 marks of Dr. Tidswell's report on tick- 

 fever or redwater to the Government of 

 NeAv South Wales : — 



DirpiNG. 



The only way in which cattle can be 

 aided in their struggle against the ticks 

 is by removal of the ticks. Change of 

 pasture is little use since the new pasture 

 very soon becomes as bad as the old. In 

 dairies, or in the case of specially valualjle 

 beasts, the ticks may Ijc reduced in ]ium- 

 bers by mechanical removal by hand, fol- 

 lowed by washing and .smearing. Pre- 

 liminary clipping is useful under these 

 circumstances ; but, in general, the only 

 praeticalde method by which iirfcstcd nni- 

 mals may be given the clunice of overcom- 



ing the parasitism of ticks is dipping. 

 The value of dip})ing at the present time 

 is precisely that stated in my previous re- 

 port. It can "rarely be so conducted as 

 to ensure the destruction of every tick on 

 a beast,"' but "the removal of the bulk 

 of the ticks alfords the relief, albeit tem- 

 jjorary, necessary to enable the animals to 

 regain sulhcient vigour to make an ulti- 

 miite recovery." The fears formerly en- 

 tertained that repeated dipping injures 

 the cattle have been proved to be ground- 

 less, and now-a-days dipping is re]jeated 

 every six or eight weeks, or according to 

 circumstances. 



The composition of dips, especially as 

 regards the inclusion of arsenic, is still a 

 disputed question. The difficulty has;
