United actionagainst a common enemy is best, as public sentiment may thus be aroused. Because of their thick fleeces and helplessness, sheep suffer greatlyfrom the attacks of ticks, lice and other parasites. Ticks areparticularly injurious. They annoy and weaken the adult animals, torturethe lambs and check their growth. The result is always a money loss tothe sheep owner. Fortunately it is a simple matter to exterminate the ticks and lice andovercome the ordinary skin diseases of sheep. Merely... dip the sheep in asolution of Pratts Disinfectant. It is non-poisonous, inexpensive--doesthe work! [Illustration: ~MERINO RAM~] July and August is the popular time for dipping, but the work can bedone as soon after shearing as the shear cuts heal. Two dippings arenecessary, about twenty-four days apart. The first treatment may notkill all the eggs, but the second will kill the young ticks, thuscompleting the job. For successful results, it is necessary to use adipping tank or vat large enough to hold sufficient of the solution toimmerse and thoroughly saturate each animal.
