Dear sir: Pleased to acknowledge your let ter of October 4th making inquiry regarding benefit received from use of dipping vats on our farms. It ia very hard for aa to 'say Joat how much benefit our stock gets from dipping. Careful attention prompts as to say that we are getting more than |5 per head benefit per year oat of oar stock where we have dipping vats; in other words, oar cattle that have been dipped prop erly are worth $10 per head more at two yeare old than theeattleon our farms that have not been dip ped; and we believe that it takaa at leaat ten per cant lass feed for the cattle that are oroperly dipped. The above expreesion applies >to beef stock. Ihe benefit to the milch eow ia still greater. ? ? ? ? Very truly yoara. Eureka Lumber Company, by Gel. T. Leach, Pres. Mrs. P. O.
