troin Faumers
BLul-
letvin No. 980,
United States
Department
of
Agriculture,
entitled
"The
Spinose
Ear Tick’ by
Mr. Marion Jones.
An effective remedy
against
car
ticks
was formulated by the
Bareau
of Animal
Indistry
and
thoroughly
test2d
during
its field investigations.
This remedy
con-
sists
of a mixture of 2 parts
by
volume
of ordinary ecommercial
pine
tar,
and
1
par: by
volume
c¢f
cotion
seed
oil.
In—-
mixing
the
ingredients
add
the
cotton
seed il to the pine tar and stir until
a uni-
forraly smiooth mixture is obtained.
When
the weatheris
cold, the pine tarand
cotton
seec
should
be warmed
so that they
will
mix rapidly
and
flow
freely,
bat
they
should
n=* be
heated
more
than
is
neces-
sary.
The mixture
will remain
uniform
for
a
long
time
without
separation
or
deterioration.
It
is
relatively
inexpen-
sive,
easy
to prepare,
and
when
properly
applied,
it kills
the
ticks
but
does
not
injure
the
animals.
[t may
be
used
on
any species
of
domesticaied
animals.
Cotton-seed
oil is a fairly good solvent
fpr ear wax,
and the mixture
penetrates
ordinary
lcose
masses
of
earwax
and
ticks,
but it will not- penetrate
the hard
masses.
It not
only
kills
81l
ear
ticks
with which
it
ccnes
in conteet,
but
be-
ing
of
a sticky
consistence,
it remains
in
the
ears
and
protects
the
animals
against
reinfestation
for
abcut
thirty
days.
An ordinary
metal
or hard
rubber
sy:
ringe
holding
from
one
to two cz.
is the
best
instrument
to
use for injecting
the
pine-tar

mixture.--Agri-
