suits. The plan for dealing with the
fever is primarily to exterminate the
insect known as the tick" which
abound on fever-stricken cattle and
through the means of which the dis
ease is communicated. To do this the
cattle are forced to swim through a
solution in a vat What the solution
is it is not known at the present

meeting of all states and territories
that handle cattle has been called to
meet in Fort Worth, Tex, on Septem-
