AUSTRALIAN BEEF.
II Is Sold I'm London 40 Per Cent

II Is Sold I'm London 40 Per Cent.
Cheaper Than Our Product.
Dressed beef shippers in Chicago are
feeling the competition of Australian
frozen beef in English markets. For
years they have had no competitor ex-
cept English meats in London, but of
late Australia has built up the frozen
beef industry to such an extent that
they are now underselling American
dressed beef in London 40 to so per
cent.
The exports of dressed beef to the
United Kingdom in Jaunary were 23,-
9s3,84O pounds, and for the seven
months ended January 81 they were
17O,249,0OO pounds. This shows the ex-
tent to which the American industry
has grown. The value of American
exports to the United Kingdom alone
for seven months was $13, 3,228,O0O. That
country, however, consumes practically
all of the dressed beef we sell abroad
p. D. Armour, discussing the export
trade, said: Australian beef is now
affecting our trade, as they are under
selling us in London. The beef is
frozen, and the people do not like it
as well as the American product, but
they are taking it. The Australians
have improved their system Of handling
of late, and the meat is very good. We
feel the effect of the increased ship
ments from that country. Most of the
Australian beef goes to London, but,
taking all the United Kingdom, one
third more American beef is sold"

VALUABLE EXPERIMENTS.
Dipping Is Now Said to Prevent
snrenA of TcXnA Fever.

Dipping AS NOW SNau ~ AAN'~"A
Spread of Texas Fever.
Elaborate experiments on Texas fever
have been conducted during the past
year by the Missouri state authorities,
cooperating with the Texas Experiment
station. 1t is clearly demonstrated that
the Texas tick is the natural means Of
communicating the disease from one
animal to another Ticks hatched in
the laboratory when put on Missouri
short-horn COWS in lots free from any
possible infection, produced fatal cases
of Texas fever in every instance within
from 10 to 18 days after the young ticks
were placed on the animal.
The Texas station dipped carload
of Texan cattle, all Of which were coV-
cred with the Texas fever tick, and
shipped the dipped cattle to the Mis-
souri, Experiment station. These cattle
were dipped in West Virginia mineral
oil at a cost of less than five cents per
head. The Missouri station confined
these dipped Texan cattle in a small lot
with number of short-horn cows from
the 18th of August until the 1st of No
vember, and made careful daily obser-
vations and temperature records, with
the result that no Texas fever was COM
municated. If subsequent experiments
confirm these results, the dipping proc
ess will be regarded as entirely practi-
cable and feasible. 1t can be easily and
cheaply done on a commercial scale,
and would enable the farmers of the
Mississippi valley to purchase and bring
to their farms with perfect safety at
any season of the year cheap range
cattle to eat their surplus corn and
grass.
An attempt was made to inOculate
cattle so that they would be proof
against this disease, with very promis-
ing results. These results are in meas
ure confirmed by experiments that DR..
Connaway has just concluded in Mis-
sissippi, on carload of dairy cattle
shipped there from Kansas. Twelve OF
these cattle had died of Texas fever
before the animals were injected; none
died afterward. The method is neither
expensive nor difficult, and if it proves
to be successful the entire Texas fever
district comprising dozen states) will
be opened as a market for the thorough
bred stock of the north and west, in
asmuch as these animals may then be
shipped to these states with safety
