I Dipping Does Not Reduce Milk Yields. ' Washington, July 3:?"Dipping cows to kill fever ticks actually increases milk yields," says the United States Department of Agriculture in a statement issued today. "This is proved in actual experiment and in the results obtained in thousands of dairy herds the owners of which are thorough believers in tick eradication by the dipping-vat method. Careful records prove that lightly infested cows produce 18.0 per cent less milk than free cows, while cows heavily infested produce on an average 42.4 less milk than similar cows freed from ticKs. This was established by records of yields kept over considerable periods for ticky herds before they are dipped and for the same herds after they are dipped. "A herd of 20 lightly ticked cows produced 29 quarts less milk per day, or a loss of 5,800 quarts in 200 days' milking, than 20 tick-free cows of the same kind. Twenty heavily ticked cows produced G7 quarts per day less.or a loss of 13,400 quarts in 200 days' milking,than 20 tick-free cows of a similar breed. The monetary gain from dipping of the lightly infested herd would have been $280 a year; from the heavily ticked herd a dipping would have given him increased profits of $660 a year. "Here is an actual record from a dairy herd: A dairyman in heavily infested territory dipped his cattle. One week after dipping, his herd of 42 cows gave 10 gallons of milk more?an increase of 16.6 per cent from the start. The milk sold for 35 cents a gallon,and he got $3.50 more per day from his herd from one dipping. He had begun to feed the cows instead of the ticks. "Those who assert that dipping diminishes milk flow judge entirely from the milk production for 2 or 3 days immediately following the trip to the vat. It is natural that for 2 or 3 days after a milch animal has been driven a few miles and gone through the excitement of dipping, her milk flow will temporarily fall off slightly. The actual ngures snowthat for 2 or 3 days there may be a reduction of an average of 10.G per cent er about 0.8 of a quart for an 8 quart cow. In 3 to 5 days the temporary failing off disappears and if the dairyman would keep records Vver any long period he would find that getting rid of ticks was increasing his actual milk production from 48 to 42 per cent. "That dipping cows to get rid of cattle ticks must increase milk flow can readily be reasoned out by ararone who will approach the subj^ya with an open mind and not let his prejudices fight his pocketbook. ^ Cows can make milk only from ^ v 1 1 tViof f Ka mnrA ^ DIOOU. U lUlluns kuav UK mviv - "* blood the ticks suck out from them the less material the cows will to turn into milk have. When it is realized that the ticks on a heavily infested animal consume as much as 200 pounds of blood a year, it can bo seen that a heavily infested cow will lose by the tick route a large and important amount of milk-making' material. When it is realized that the cow can make blood to supply her milk glands cnly from the feed she consumes, it can be seen that the tick by sucking blood is wasting a lot of good feed that ought to be going, to icrease milk production. "It is as unreasonable to estimate nf Hinnintr nn a cow's vield W1V I.MVVV V*. v?.rr.?n ? from the milk she gives for two day9 after she has been dipped as it would be for a purchaser of a cow to expect that cow to give her full milk, record the first day after she had been driven to a new farm and placed in strange quarters. No sensible dairyman would send back a cow because she did not live up to the guaranteed record for a day or two after she had been shipped to Ilia farm. All the department asks of anyone is to use fair records. Exr>orionf?p with millions of cattle dip ?? ped proved conclusively that dipping increases materially and in no way diminishes the years milk yield, or injures the cattle." lbs <M*w That Doss Mot Aftot Tit Hsatf I?cmw of its tonic sad laxative effect, LAXATITOAfcOMO QOINmB U better tkaa ordinary ftriiwi sad dass not caste acrvoaaaess nor riaciac la head.
