Timely Farm Questions And Answers Question: When should cattle bo treated for lice? Answer: Fall is the best seasom of the year to treat cattle for lice, says L. I. Case, extension animal husbandman of N. C. State College, The treatments are most effective when the cattle are taken off the grass, while the weather is still fairly warm, and before the catUo are placed in winter quarters. This avoids getting the winter quarters infested with the biting louse. At least two treatments, 14 to-18 day apart, should be made. The first treatment will kill the grown lice. and the second will eradicate the lice that were unhatched at tho time of the first treatment Question: What is a good recipo for making sausage? Anuwpr?
