A SUCCESSFUL CURE FOR TICRS IN CATTLE. 



As the result of a brief statement recently made public by the Department 

 of Agriculture (United States) concerning the use of crude Beaumont petroleum as a 

 dip for cattle, especially those infected with Texas fever, a great many communi- 

 cations have been received, both from oil men and from stock raisers, inquiring as to 

 the character of the oil and the method of its utilization for dipping purposes. A 

 bulletin has, therefore, been prepared describing the treatment of Texas fever and 

 the manner of using Beaumont oil for this purpose. The department says in part : — 



" Many efforts have been made to discover a practical method for dipping 

 cattle to destroy ticks without injury to the cattle, and the bureau has experimented 

 for years with this object in view. Numerous kinds of dips have been used and many 

 failures have been recorded, but apparently a successful one has been found in the 

 crude oil— so called Beaumont oil— obtained from certain Texas wells. This oil has 

 now been used on a rather large scale, and it has been very successful in killing ticks, 

 without at the same time materially affecting the health of the cattle, when the ■ 

 proper precautions have been observed. In fact, it is distinctly superior to any of 

 the other dips that have been tested. In these experiments it was found that a light 

 oil heavily charged with sulphur is the most desirable for dipping cattle, as the 

 heavy oils injure the animals dipped in them. An oil with 40 per cent, of its bulk 

 capable of boiling between 200 degrees and 300 degrees C, having a specific gravity 

 between 22£ degrees and 2i£ degrees Beaume, and containing 1£ to 1£ percent, 

 of sulphur is most desirable, and these requirements should be stipulated before 

 purchase. In a recent dipping of 57,000 head of cattle on the Kansas and Osage 

 Indian reservations, the results were very highly satisfactory, both as regards the
