The Dipping of Cattle.— Col. Albert Dean, in pursuance 
to orders from D. E. Salmon, Chief of the Bureau-of Animal 
Industry at Washington, has ordered dipping cattle to be dis¬ 
continued at all of the vats and has placed inspectors at the 
different dipoing stations to carry out the orders. This ruling 
was made by the Bureau on account of the many complaints of 
losses at the several dipping vats. The results at the Mammoth 
Springs Station have been fairly successful, but at Fort Worth 
and East St. Louis the losses from death have been severe in a 
great many instances. Experiments are being conducted by 
Dr. Norgaard at Claybourg, Tex., near Corpus Christi, with 
different dips. The present formula is regarded as too severe, 
particularly in the winter months. The Bureau has not given 
up the idea of dipping to prevent Texas fever, but has simply 
concluded to carry the experiments further and demonstrate its 
feasibility beyond a doubt. However, it is practically admitted 
that no further dipping will be done with the present Govern¬ 
ment formula during the cold weather. The officials of the 
Bureau believe the dynamo oil and sulphur dip is all right in 
warm weather, but think.it is too hard on the cattle in colder 
climates. In the experiments now being conducted linseed and 
lard-oil are being tried with prospects of success .—{Kansas City
