A Texas study reports a practical cattle tick control using cottonseed oil dipped in a vat, with salt added to neutralize ink emulsification. The method yields 1,000 to 2,000 animals per day and aims to keep cattle disease free when shipped any season. The article also notes horse exercise tips and winter rations for working animals.
The text details a 5,000 gallon cattle dipping vat devised by R. J. Kleburg of Alixe Texas for applying oils to range cattle. It describes how cattle enter, are submerged, and exit to a dripping platform. Also described is Angora goat breeding, a barbed wire pasture setup, and steel trap use to deter wolves and wildcats through coordinated trapping, dogs, and gun patrols.
