One ma. holds the Iamb by its liind legs, while another grasps the fore legs in one hand, and shuts the other about the nostrils, to prevent the liquid from entering them, and then the animal is entirely immorMcd. It is then immediately lifted out, laid on one side upon the grate, and the water squeezed out of the wool, when it is turned over and squeezed on the otlier side. The grate conducts the fluid back co the box If the lambs are regularly dipped every year, ticks will never trouble the ; Miller's fick Destroyer we have found to be an excellent and effootual preparation : full instructions for its use are conveyed with every box. Mdvldncj PigmentsâBoil tar until, when cold, it has a glazed, hard consistency; stir in a little lampblack when boiling; apply when just cold enough not to burn the sheep's hide, and the mark will remain the whole year round. Paint made of lampblack, to which a little spirits of turpen- tine is first added, and then diluted with linseed or lard oil. may be used. The rump is the best place on which to mark sheep, as it is plainer seen when the flock aro together or moving away.
