THERE) are two general classes
of parasites that affect ani
mals external and Internal.
Chief among external para
sites are lice. These live In the balr
next to the skin, feeding on It and
causing the animal great annoyance.
Not only that, but animals badly af
fected with lice run down greatly In
flesh, look bad and soon become mon
ey losers for their owners. There are
many kinds of lice affecting horses,
cattle and swine, with a few species
that confine their attention to sheep
and goats. These lice ure of two
kinds sucking and biting. The treat
ment in much the same for both kinds,
so that It will not be necessary to
treat them separately.
Lice are sometimes difficult to And,
even when tbey are present In con
siderable numbers. This Is especially
true of long hatred animals. The
neck, shoulders and root of tall are
the places most frequently affected.
Remedial For Lice.
One of the best remedies for lice on
bogs and cattle Is crude petroleum.
That which has been prppared espe
cially for this' purpose by having some
of the kerosene taken out is best to
use. It cun be purchased for about
$5 a barrel. The oil can be applied
with a spray pump or with a paint
brush, care being taken to see that
the animal is thoroughly covered.
uniy one application is necessary,
since the oil will adhere to the hair
for two weeks or longer, killing the
yonng lice us they batch.
This treatment, becuuse of Its greasi
ness, cannot be applied to horses that
are being used uor to milk cows. For
these kerosene emulsion Is a good
remedy. It is prepared as follows: Dls
soive oue-Duir pouuu or suap in one
gullon of boiling water. Remove from
lire and add two gallons of kerosene.
Churn violently with a spray pump or
paddle until a white, creamy mass is
formed. This is prepared for use by
adding ulne purts of water to one of
the mixture. It can be upplled wltb a
brush or rsg when only a few animals
are to be treated. If many ure uffect
ed they can be shut in a small yard
ana sooiiea inorougniy with a spray
pump. A second treatment at the end
of eight duys will be necessary to kill
the young lice that hatch. Any of
the coal tnr dips con be used In the
same way. Crude carbolic acid diluted
wltb 100 parts of water Is also a good
remedy for lice.
These liquid applications cannot well
be used In winter, and it Is at that
time that the lice are the worst. They
often become especially troublesome
on colts toward spring. I'yrethrum,
or Insect powder, dusted Into the balr
will kill many of the parasites. To
bacco dust may also be used. Sulphur
and lard, mixed to form au ointment
and rubbed Into the Infested places,
are effective.
The simple way to handle lice on
bogs is to dip them. A dipping tank
can be cheaply made by digging a hole

layer of cement on the Inside. The
end at which the hogs come out should
be sloping, with cleats to give I hem

enough so that they will be completely
submerged, lly having a chute leading
up to the tunlf u herd of hogs can bo
dipped In n very few minutes. Coul

this purpose. The dipping will have
to bo repeated In eight to ten days.

Ticks and Bots.
hi the southern parts of the United
States and In Mexico cattle nre badly
troubled with "ticks. Not only are
these ticks Injurious for the damage
they do themselves, but they also servo
as carriers for Texas fever germs, be
ing one of the most Important means
of spreading this disease. Dipping is
the most practicable remedy for cattle
ticks. Dipping vats for cattle are ar
ranged much the same as for hogs and
sheep, only on n larger scale.
The warble causes considerable trou
ble with cattle. The eggs nre laid dur
ing the summer on the shoulders and
necks of the animals. As they hatch
the mnggots make their way Info ttie
mouth and from there bore through
the llesh of the bm-k, which they reach
early the next spring. 'Hie best reme
dy Is to sill the warbles In the backs
of the cattle by sipieev.lng them out
and crushing tliein. Thus they are
prevented from dropping to the cround
aud developing Into Hies to lay eggs
for next season's crop of warbles.
Horses are considerably bothered by
bot lllcs." The hot fly lays its' eggs on
the front legs aud breast of t lie ani
mal. As these hatch the larvae are
taken into the mouth of the horse and
find their way to the stomach, where
they attach themselves to the walls.
If present only In small numbers the
effects are not noticeable, but In large
numbers they seriously affect the
health of the horse anil sometimes
eveu cause death. As there Is no way
to dislodge the hots after they have
once attached themselves to the stom
ach, the only way to combat them Is
by prevention. This can be accom
plished by scraping the eggs otf the
horse's legs every day or so with a
blunt knife or rubbing over them a
rag wet with kerosene.
