with ticks taken from southern cattle
no southern cattle were admitted to the
pastures native cattle were then turned
into this pasture. Result: "Texas fever

artifcially from the eggs laid by ticks
picked from southern cattle were placed
upon native cattle. Result: "Texas
fever and death; micro organism of
''Texas fever" in the blood. These.
and other experiments on the same line,
render it almost certain that the cause
of the dreaded Texas or acclimation
fever has been discovered.
Now if a remedy or a preventative
can be found, then the greatest bar to
the improvement of the southern breeds
Of cattle will have been removed, and
the fear of losing cattle brought from
the north, will no longer deter our en-.
terprising breeders from purchasing and
introducing among or native herds
the high priced thoroughbred cattle
from that section. At present the most
promising preventative of acclimation
fever is incubation of the susceptible
animal with serum from the blood of an
animal that has acquired immunity
from the disease This method will be
given a thorough test this season by
several of our southwestern states and
its efficacy carefully tested. In the few
experiments that have already been
made with this serum. very satisfactory
results have been obtained. It only re-
mains now to determine whether other
and more extensive experiments will
verify the results obtained last summer.
The tick spoken of here will thrive

with no bad effect Indeed the cow is
the only animal that seems susceptible

fore they are month old. l think I
feed them improperly, and would like
some information on the subject.
ANSWER. - Confine the hen after
Matching for at least three weeks in
perfectly dry coop, with openings for
the little ones to run in and out BY
that time they will be strong enough
TO follow the mother, who should be
turned out daily after the dew has
disappeared.
Feed the little ones four times day,
for several weeks, with we'll cooked
corn bread, mixed up with either but
termilk or clabber. and with chopped
onion tops literally added to the mix
ture. After they are as large as half
grown chickens feed morning and

"Ticlx theory"

Question: have seen several refer
ences in agric ultural journals to the
Tick Theory" Can you tell me what
this theory is, and how cattle are in
volved In it? I know it has some con-
would like to have full explanation
from your department..
ANSWER The "Tick Theory" as it
is called, asserts that Texas Fever or
acclimation fever, which kills so many
cattle when brought south of a certain
latitude. and which also kills a great
many cattle at the north, when
exposed to cattle shipped from the
south, is caused by the cattle tick (Boo.
philus Bovis), so common in our south.
ern fields and woods In a special re-.
port on Texas Fever" issued by the
Bureau of Animal Industry at Wash
ington, in 1898, the following assertions
are made: First, that the cause of
"Texas Fever" sis a blood corpusole de-
stroying micro-organism, the presence
of which in the blood of affected ami.
mails can be demonstrated. J" Second,
"That the transmission Of this micro
organism from southern cattle to native
northern cattle, is effected by the south
ern cattle tick, and by this means
alone" This, in brief, is the "Tick
Theory" and careful experiments car
ried ON at the Kansas, Arkansas and
Missouri Experiment Stations have
gone far towards demonstrating its
truth, as you will admit by noting the
following experiments! LIST. Native
cattle were exposed for several weeks to
southern cattle, the latter being infected
with ticks. Result: The natives con-
tracted "Texas Fever" Young ticks
were found upon them, and the micro
parasite mentioned was found in the
blood. I'd. Native cattle were exposed
to southern cattle from which the ticks
had been removed by hand picking.
Result: Native cattle showed no signs

QUESTION. Last year some of my to-
mato plants were affected very strangely

to ask your advice as to prevention be-
fore the disease or blight appears again.
noticed that on the affected vines
there were ct first watery looking spots,
and then the whole plant would wilt as

for protecting the plants against the in
roads Of this destructive agent, what

ANswER.-f you had cut open the
blisters of which you speak and exam
ined them with a microscope you would
have found them filed with bacteria.
The disease is called Southern Blight
and potatoes and watermelons as well
as tomatoes are liable to it. The best
remedy yet discovered is Bordeaux mix
ture applied from the early stages of
growth until the plants are in full
bloom, say about three times, The
Bordeaux mixture should be weak.

Tho Striped Potato Bug.

QUEsTIoN.-I notice many striped
bugs on my Irish potatoes, and they
are eating the leaves. Will they seri-
ously injure the crop, and if so, what
shall do to get rid of them?
ANSWER. The bugs on your potatoes
will not only injure, but will entirely
destroy your crop, unless you can get
rid of them quickly. The best remedy.

Eeeding value Of sweet Potatoes and Corn.

Feeding Value of Sweet Potatoes and Corn.
QUESTION. What is the difference in
the feeding value of sweet potatoes and
corn?
ANSWER. AS the sweet potato is over
two thirds water, it takes about 3 pounds
of potatoes to make one of corn-that is
of dry matter, and the dry matter of
the potato, the weight being the same,
contains about half as much protein or
muscle food as the. dry matter of corn.
Corn is therefore the more valuable
food, but the potato gives the variety
so necessary for healthful feeding, and
as potatoes on sandy land will generally
turn out a far better yield than corn,
we would advise every farmer to cult
vate every acre possible in potatoes. =

Spraying, Does 1t Pay ?

QUESTION. things considered, do
you think that it pays in the ordinary
family garden and orchard to go to the
trouble and expense of spraying to de-
stroy insect and fungus pests p? Don't
they return each year and does not the
FARMER have ito repeat the operations
each year?
ANSWERED. Undoubtedly the alarming
increase Of the countless varieties of in
sect and fungus pests, with which the
orohardist and gardener is troubled of
late years, is largely. indeed, almost en-
tlrely, due to the lack of such precau.
tlonary measures as spraying and other
methods of preventing their ravages on
our fruit trees and vegetables. If we
had been careful in past years to watch
for and industriously check the advance
OF this army of depredators, we would
not now see the decay Of orchards
which ought to be in their prime, nor
would we so often hear the complaint
OF failure of the fruit crop. 1t Is true
that to be effective and profitable spray
ing must be thorough and continuous.
1t requires more than one season to get
the full benefit of such care, but Ii will
in the long run pay for the labor and
expense. The spores of fungi, which
are SO injurious to plants, usually pass
the winter either on the trees or in the
ground near by. Where vegetables
have been planted these pests usually
go into winter quarters near where the
plants were grown, ready to come out
in the spring with renewed vigor. Thus
it will be seen that if not checked they
will in time, indeed. have already, be-
come serious drawback to successful
fruit growing and gardening. 1t has
been shown by experiment that if spray
ings are not repeated each season there
is a sufficient number of germs left
over to re- stock the ground for each
succeeding year. State Agricultural

QUESTION How late can l sow Ger.
man millet, and is it injurious TO the
land?
ANSWER. German millet may be
eown as late as July or August, and
with good seasons will be ready to cut

bloom, before the seeds form. If this
is done there will be no complaint of
injury to stock by feeding the hay or OF

To Fix the Nitrogen After Pea Crop.
QUEsTIoN.-I expect to plant very ex.
tensiv6ly III peas, and while l will har-
vest the main crop l may leave part
on the land to turn under for manure.
How shall | prevent the loss of any
part of the nitrogen which the peas
have accumulated?
TANswER.-To prevent the teaching of
the nitrogen from the heavy winter
rains, turn under the vines and apply
light dressing Of lime or potash. This
will Ak the nitrogen and prevent its loss
by being dissolved into the drainage

Chicken Lice ON Cattle.

QUESTION Will chicken lice live and
breed on cattle and horses?
ANSWER Poultry lice will get on
horses and cattle and cause them a
good deal of annoyance, but they will
not breed there. The little chicken
mite, hardly visible to the naked eve,
are very troublesome on horses or oat-
tie, and therefore chickens should never
be allowed to roost in the stables where
these animals are kept. State Agri.

BY putting on new tires that would give
the wheels an almost new appearance, We
could avoid this slaughter, but people
who wait so patiently and so long in the

their pains.
We have no more Keatings OF other
all been sold last week, and by the next

and Eagles will be out also.
DON'T FAIL TO COME right up, for
the 1898 models will be little or no i'm
provement on the 1875, and next year.
prices will be $780, $75 and $50. Now on
these few shop-worns we have we can and
will beat these figures all to death.
CHAINLESs BICYCLES for 1898 will be
heavy, cumbersome and awkward affairs,
and, like all new inventions, very imper-
feet for the first two or three seasons. So
put no faith in them. WE WILL HAVE
THEM, but only to be abreast of the
times. THE PRICES WILL BE HIGH,
and not many will be sold. Mark what
we say.
