Control Sheep Tick
by Proper Dippings
Blood-Sucking Parasite Is
Readily Eradicated.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of, Agriculture.)
f Though widely prevalent, especially
[among close-herded range flocks, the
Mood-sucking parasite known as the
[sheep tick can be readily eradicated
by flock owners who study Its nature
and habits and who will treat their
[sheep according to government, direc
tions. Farmers' Bulletin 798-F, “The
[Sheep Tick and Its Eradication by
(Dipping,” just revised, describes and
illustrates this enemy of the sheep in
dustry.
“Tlie only practical way ot destroy
ing the pest,” declares Dr. Marion
lines, the author of the bulletin, “is
by dipping the sheep. Two dippings
are necessary about 21 days apart, us
the first dipping may not destroy all
the eggs and these may subsequently
(hatch anew brood.” Several kinds of
dips are used successfully, the selec
tion being largely a matter of avail
ability, economy, and convenience.
Many farm flocks of the United
Stales as well as those kept under
range conditions harbor sheep ticks
and in some cases the parasites are
present in sufficient numbers to cause
considerable damage. The bulletin de
scribes and illustrates the parasites ir,
different stages of growth, gives full
directions for dipping, and includes
plans of wooden and concrete vats
suitable for both small and large
flocks.
Utilization of Straw
for Insulation Board
The utilization of wheat straw for
insulation board is now a practical
process and this year one factory at
St. Joseph, Mo., has purchased 30,000
tons of straw which is being manu
factured into insulation board at the
rate of 125,000 square feet daily, ac
cording to Prof. O. It. Sweeney, lowa
State college.
It has been found that wheat straw,
after steel fingers in a shredder have
separated it, produces long tough
fibers which can be fabricated into a
board that lias great structural
strength and will provide insulation in
building that saves 25 to 40 per cent
in fuel used for heating.
The practical application of insula
tion is recognized by engineers every
where uid farmers, toe are learning
that insulation of poultry houses, hog
houses and other buildings brings di
rect returns in saving; of feed and fuel.
