DIPS. T5 
water; dissolve in it Sib soda, add 4tb freshly burned or 
slaked lime. Dilute 8tb soft soap with hot tobacco broth, 
add it to the rest, then add 4b crude carbolic acid. Mix. 
This quantity-is sufficient for 100 sheep. 
Rolof’s Dip.—For 100 sheep. Take 20tb of tobacco, 
steep it with 66 gallons of water for half an hour; heat it to 
95° Fahr. and add 2%tb each of pure carbolic acid and 
potash. 
Mix an infusion of 15tb tobacco with 2¥tb carbolic 
acid and 1314tb wood tar, pour it into 66 gallons of water 
at 125° Fahr., in which 3 tb soda have been dissolved. Use 
it at a temperature of 80° or 90° Fahr., and repeat in six or 
seven days. 
Clement's Dip.—Arsenious acid 1 part; sulphate of zinc, 5 
parts; water, 100 parts. The water is put over the fire, the 
chemicals added, and it is allowed to boil for 5 or 10 min- 
utes. When cool enough for use the sheep is entirely sub- 
merged in the liquid with the exception of the head. Thelabor- 
ers should grease their arms with linseed oil, as well as the 
udder of ewes, to prevent the action of the astringent on the 
skin and on the secretion of milk. 
Mathew’s Dip.—1 part arsenious acid, 10 parts alum, 100 
parts water. 
Scheurle and Kehm’s Dip. 1 pt. arsenic, 12 parts alum, 
200 parts of water. 
Kerosene-Emulsion as a Sheep Dip.—Prof. Gillette has 
made a number of experiments with an 8 per cent kerosene- 
emulsion, and says that a dip of this strength could be 
safely used. Such an emulsion is much cheaper than any 
of the commercial dips,andit isa matter of great importance 
to try this remedy very fully. : 
Patent dips are objectionable because their formulas are 
not given, and consequently may be valueless or not strong 
enough, and they are usually more costly than they are act- 
ually worth.”
