MANGE IN CATTLE. 
This disease is so troublesome on the 
western ranges that the U. S. Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture has made it a sub¬ 
ject of special investigation, the results 
of which are given in Bulletin No. 40 
Mange in cattle is caused by two varieties 
of microscopic parasites familiarly known 
as Chorioptes symbiotes bovis, and Psor- 
optes communis bovis. The former spread 
but little, and are usually confined to the 
rump, yielding readily to treatment. The 
latter are more persistent. They appear 
first on the sides of neck and shoulders, 
base of horns and root of tail, and from 
these points may spread over the entire 
body, causing loss of flesh and weakness, 
and sometimes death. Calves and year¬ 
lings, or others that have come through 
the Winter in poor condition, suffer most. 
As these parasites may live in damp ma¬ 
nure or other wet substances for several 
weeks after being removed from the cattle, 
it is necessary to get rid of all rubbish and 
thoroughly disinfect sheds or buildings 
where affected cattle have been kept. The 
only effective treatment thus far found has 
been the use of a lime and sulphur dip in 
the proportions of 16% pounds of unslaked 
lime and 21 of sulphur to 100 gallons of 
water. The lime is slaked with enough 
water to form a paste about like putty. 
Into this the sulphur is stirred. Then the 
mixture is put into a kettle and boiled two 
hours, when it is of a chocolate color. 
After thorough settling the clear liquid is 
drawn off into the dipping vat and 100 gal¬ 
lons of warm water added. The sediment 
may be used as a disinfectant, but should 
not be put in the dip. By means of steam 
connection the dip is kept at about 102 de¬ 
grees so as not to chill the animal, which 
should be kept in for two minutes. A sec¬ 
ond dipping after a few weeks will dispose 
of any parasites that escape the first dose. 
Of course, considerable machinery is 
necessary to dip heavy animals like cattle. 
Two forms of dipping plants have been 
found satisfactory. Where but few cattle 
are to be dipped, a tank into which a cage 
containing the animal may be lowered by 
means of rope and pulley is used. On the 
ranges where the work must De done on a 
large scale a swimming tank is built. It 
is about 10 feet deep, seven wide at top 
and two at bottom, and 24 feet long, ex¬ 
clusive of approach and dripping chute. 
The animals are driven in at one end and 
made to swim through. The only accident 
reported was the case of a steer that 
seemed unable to swim and hence was 
drowned before he could be removed. This 
same treatment is effective in removing 
lice. The animals dipped usually show im¬ 
provement at once.
