the lambs into the race, and let them stand 1091. 
Jet them over the head, necks, backs and crutch, 
with half-strength solution—2 pints powder to то 
gallons water. Do not deliberately jet the cut sur- 
faces. As the lambs stand with the tail and purse 
hanging down there is not much danger of the cut 
surfaces coming in contact with the dip. 
Whenever possible, sheep should be allowed to 
dry in the shade. Not only is it easier on the sheep, 
and a preventative of ill-effects, but if the dip is 
allowed to dry slowly it has time to penetrate and 
saturate more thoroughly. 
Г] RAMS BLOWN IN THE EARS 
When rams are blown in the ears use the solution at 
the 2 pints to ro gallons strength. Direct the jetinto 
the ear ; this will drive out the maggots. Then fill the 
ear, with the aid of a spoon, with boracic acid powder. - 
Do not handle the ears or poke at the maggots. 
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN 
It should be borne in mind that it is much safer 
to jet sheep in the winter than in the summer. In 
normal seasons the fly does not give much trouble in 
the hot weather. Sheep should be allowed to cool 
down before being treated, and they should not be 
driven far until they have become quite dry. 
When jetting is done by means of portable or 
hand plants on outlying portions of the run, shade 
should be provided over the jetting race, and if more 
than 500 sheep are to be jetted in a day the race 
should be provided with a grating floor. 
Those engaged in jetting should be made aware 
vf the poisonous nature of the dip solution, but if 
due care is taken no harm resulte. Frequent rinsing 
in clean water and liberal use of boracic acid will 
prevent ill-effects. л
