HOW TO GET RID OF THE CATTLE TICK.
Methods of Killing the Ticks on the Cattle—Dipping the Eas
iest Plan—The Two-Lot Method—Hand Applications Practica
ble for Two or Three Cattle.
Br Tait Butler.
IN Ol R LAST article we discuss
ed the eradicating of ticks from
pastures by means of the star
vation method, or the taking of the
cattle, horses and mules out of the
pastures for sufficient time—4 to 8
months—to cause the death of the
ticks by starvation. When cattle are
returned to these pastures they
must be free of ticks or all the work
will be lost. While it is not a very
difficult task to entirely free cattle
from ticks, this is the point where
many fail to complete the results
aimed at.
There are about three general
methods by which the cattle may be
freed of ticks before putting them
onto pastures that have been
cleaned.
Three Methods of Killing Ticks.
1. The cattle may be dipped and
run in a clean lot for a week or ten
days and then re-dipped, when it
will be safe to put them on the clean
pastures. If all the large ticks are
first removed and the cattle then
dipped one dipping will be reason
ably safe. We shall discuss the dip
ping question more thoroughly later.
2. The large ticks may be remov
ed, the cattle greased, or washed
with the arsenical dip, run in a clean
lot for a week and then greased or
washed again, when, if the work has
been done thoroughly, it will be
safe to put the cattle on the clear
past urea.
3. The third method of freeing
the cattle of ticks is based on the
time it takes the eggs to hatch and
the length of time the ticks remain
on cattle. It will be remembered
that it was stated that the eggs re
quire from 18 to 20 days to hatch,
under summer conditions, and that
while the ticks sometimes remain
on cattle as long as 60 days, they
rarely remain on longer than 40
days and in summer not usually
longer than from 28 to 30 days.
With these facts in mind it will
be easy to understand that if the
cattle are put in a clean lot and kept
there for 17 or 18 days and then
taken to another clean lot and kept
for the same length of time they
will be free of ticks. They will not
have been kept long enough in
either lot for the ticks to drop off,
lay eggs and young ticks hatch and
get on the cattle, but they have
been in the lots 3 4 to 36 days which,
in summer, is long enough for all
the ticks to have matured and drop
ped ofT.
The least troublesome method of
freeing the cattle is to dip them, but
one dipping is not certain to kill all
the ticks although it is usually ef
If hand applications are made it
is necessary to do the work with ex
treme care and repeat it in a week
or ten days to insure the destruction
of all the ticks.
Hand Applications.
It is not practicable to eradicate
ticks from pastures while the cattle
are running on them, by hand ap
plications unless the herds are small.
With even as many as ten head the
amount of work required to make
applications by hand, to all the ani
mals, every two or three weeks, for
three to five months, is so great as
to make this one of the hardest
methods of tick eradication. More
over, few men will do the work with
sufficient thoroughness and regulari
ty to make it a success; for it must
he remembered that if one large
mature tick is allowed to drop off
the cattle while in the pasture a
large part of the work previously
done is lost. With only a few cattle,
by exercising considerable care in
making the hand applications, it is
entirely practicable to clean a pas
ture by this method and still allow
the cattle to continue running in the
pasture.
The materials used for applying
to the cattle have generally been
some sort of grease or heavy oil. In
our early work we used 1 gallon of
kerosene, 3 gallons of crude cotton
seed oil, y, pound of sulphur and 1
pint of tar. The cost of the cotton
seed oil, however, is now too great
and it has been found that Reau
mont crude petroleum or an emul
sion of this crude petroleum is much
cheaper and equally satisfactory.
For hand applications, or for
spraying, we believe the emulsion
preferable to the crude oil because
the latter does too great Injury to
the cattle.
How to Make the fVucle Oil Emulsion
The following are the directions
given in the Farmers' Bulletin. No.
378, U. S. Department of Agricul
ture, for making the emulsion.
Hard soap, 1 lb.
Soft or freestone water. 1 gallon.
Beaumont crude petroleum. 4 gals
This makes 5 gallons of an 8ft per
cent stock emulsion and when ready
for use should be diluted with 3
parts of soft water to 1 part of the
stock emulsion.
In preparing the emulsion the soap
sheuld be shaved up and placed In a
kettle containing the required
amount of water. The water should
be brought to a boil and Btirred un
til the soap is entirely dissolved.
Enough water should be added to
make up for the Iobb by evaporation
during this process. The mixing of
this soap solution and the oil may
be done by pumping through a pump
or by pouring the oil into a barrel
containing the soap solution with as
much force as possible and stirring
with a paddle. Dipping up the mix
ture and pouring it back into the
barrel also helps in mixing. If made
properly, thl« stock emulsion is per
manent and will keep Indefinitely
An 80 per stock solution Is on the
market and may be bought If one
wishes to save time and labor. This
emulsion may be applied by hand
with a stiff scrubbing brush or with
a spray pump supplemented by a
free use of the brush.
When the bearlngn of your farm
tools need oiling, you are wasting
power and wearing out your Imple
ments.
