Just bvack from a trip to New Mexico.  This is from a short two pager I

have written up for the USDA Forest Service's "Heritage Times" but has not

yet been published.  It is this brief intro and a list of internet sites

that have dipping vat information.  If anyone wants the whole thing just

let me know.



OK history buffs, let’s see if you can explain why the cattle drive

railhead was moved from Abilene to Dodge City.  Do you still think that

“sheep dip” is “salad dressing gone bad” or it is something a graduate

student brings to a Department party?  Do you really think you know what

state has the most recorded dipping vats?  Are cows just a rumor in

Florida?  If you THINK you know the answers to these questions, check out

these websites and prepare to have your ego deflated.
