that ticks are the sole cause Of this disease, for
they say that the cattle take them into
their stomachs as horses do bots.
The truth of this theory is doubtful for in
Southern Illinois and Missouri as well as in all
the Southern States, no one ever kneW of such
thing. These ticks are common in the South
west, as well as several other kinds. They are
of all sizes from the smallest visible speck to a
large pea. The larger ones are the most trou-
blesome, for they fasten upon cattle when small,
and there they stay for weeks, with their heads
buried in the flesh, sucking and and biting con-
stantly until they swell 20 large as to be unable
TO move. There is not the leost doubt but that
they torment the poor brutes until they are
almost wild with pain. When three or four of
the ordinary wood-ticks get on a person they
leave burning sores that stay for weeks and
oftentimes longer IL ones blood is impure.
week ago the infected cattle at Communipaw
were covered with the largest cattle ticks, which
might easily have been scraped off with garden
hoes. The ground floors of the yards we're lite
rally studded with the huge grey ticks, which
must have been weeks in accunulating. To say
that cattle eat these ticks, which are as large
beans, Is ridiculous.
There seems to be no reason why drovers
should make light of the plague and say that it
Is rapidly disappearing, while but few cattle are
in the yards. It, after the Western droves are
allowed TO come through, the disease dimin
ishes then we may have grounds for congratu-
lalion; Many conflicting accounts have been
given by drovers touching the history and char
actPr OF this disease. Professor Gamgee says
that it is contiguous. There is doubtless much
guessing on both sides CommunipaW gen.
tleman, who is conversant with the cattle busi-
ness, says that the disease originates spontane-
ously, where large mum Der are confined with
in a small space. The amount of heat which is
thrown of by dozen bullocks is immense,
especially when they are confined In cars where
The air is close. This heated air, com Oined with
the animals breath, when taken into the sys-
tenn over and over again, produce the most
dangerous results.
