CURIOUS GROWING STONE.

IT HE most interesting thing 1 saw
down in Maine was a growing
stone that belongs to H. H. Ham
mond of Smiths Cove, near Winter
Harbor and lies upon a granite post
beside the steps that lead to his front
door. 1t is egg shaped and of perfect
symmetry, with the exception sthat 1t
is somewhat flattened upon the side
which rested upon the ground.
Thirty years ago or more William
Hammond, brother of H. H., who now
lives in San Francisco picked up this
remarkable stone upon the edge of the
cove. He was then boy 10 years old,
and was attracted by its regular shape

THE TICK THAT SPREADS
THE DEADLY TEXAS FEVER.
being


dred little ticks ready to attach them
selves to healthy, uninoculated cattle
In a week or more after, the disease
makes its appearance.
Although 1t is probable that the dis
ease was brought to this State by in
fected cattle, STILL according to the
views of the Bureau of Animal Indus
try, it could have been brought in
cattle-cars. The tick is often found
in the sweepings from these cars.
The bureau further says: How to
get rid of the ticks in pasture without
destroying vegetation we do not know
at present. Every spot once infected is
dangerous during the entire season"
Freezing weather destroys the tick.
In sunny California this is not likely to
occur, so this check cannot be count
ed on.
So in California different measures
must be adopted. All cattle with the
disease or of suspicious appearance
should be isolated Immediately after
the appearance of the disease. The
herds should be carefully examined for
ticks, if practicable, especially upon
the thighs and udder, where they pre-
fer to locate. The ticks do not mature
until after the disease has made its ap-
pearance, when they swell up and are
plainly visible.
ticks be removed from sick animals. as
they abstract a considerable amount of
blood and strength, and thereby retard
q possible recovery.
DR.. Smith recommends as a remedy
sulphate of quinia, in doses of fifteen
to thirty grains, according to the size
of the animal. Tincture of aconite root
and EPSON salts have been combined
with it with good results.
Sanitary regulations should be
adopted and rigidly followed. They
should define the boundary of the in
fected area, and no cattle should be
shipped from it except by boat or rail
plainly marked with the name of the
district. The cars or boats used for
such transportation should be care
fully cleansed and disinfected before
uninfected stock is carried.
In certain portions of the South
these simple regulations have been fol-
lowed, and as a result the disease has
been reduced to q rlinimum.

and smooth surface, which contains
good deal of mica schist and sparkles

with diamond dust.
The boy took the stone home in his
pocket, for it was very small in COM
parison with it's present size, and could
have been easily slipped into a quart
cup He played with it in the yard
for several years, and it lay upon the
mantelpiece in the house during the
winter months, but as he grew older
he lost interest in the plaything and it
rolled under a lilac bush beside the
front door. There it remained for fiji
teen years orAso When young Ham
mond returned from San Francisco he
recognized it, but was much astonished
to find that it had increased in size and
weight to a most remarkable degree.
When he was child as 1 said, he
carried the stone in his pocket. When
he recovered it. as a man, 1t was larger
than the crown of a ~-ovepipe hat and
weighed at least twelve or fifteen
pounds more than when he saw 1t last.
ii. H. Hammond became so much in
terested in the phenomenon that he re-
moved it from the ground beneath the
lilac bush and placed it upon the gran
lite step at the right of the front door,

of conveying the Infection is through
the ticks which adhere to the cattle
from the infected district. So far as
known the disease is not spread by the
saliva or manure of cattle.
In any measure looking to the pre-
vention of the disease attention must
therefore be given almost entirely to
the ticks, and from recent investigation
It appears that should the cattle from
an infected district be freed from these
parasites before leaving they would
nc be able to spread the disease.
Texas fever is caused by an organ
ism which lives within the red blood
cnrpuscles and breaks them up. 1t is
therefore simply a blood disease.

usually appear anywhere from 20 to
80 days after exposure to infected soil.

of appetite and a tendency to leave the
herd and stand or lie down alone. A
few days after these first symptoms ap-
rear the temperature rises from nor
nal of 101-103 degrees Fahrenheit to 106-
107 degrees Fahrenheit, and there is lit
tie or no change until death or recov-
ery ensues. The higher che tempera-
ture the more fatal the end. Toward
the end of the disease emaciation be-

Death occurs most frequently in the

attacks, is q parasite of cattle In the

The eggs, laid on the ground after the
female falls from an animal, begin to

was dropped comes from an infected

tiles.
This disease is most commonly COM
n1unicated by cattle recently removed
from an infected locality. Without
doubt the disease among the
California cattle can be directly traced
to the importation of cattle from some
of the Southern States.
The disease has this striking pecu-
Iarity among animals; animals which
disseminate the infection are apparent
Nv in good health, while those which
sicken and die from 1t do not as rule
infect others.
The sickness is accompanied by high
fever. greatly enlarged spleen, destruc-
ton of the red blood corpuscles, rapid
loss of strength and by fatal results in
a large proportion Of cases.
1t is commonly found in all of the
Southern States, but the earliest ac-
counts of it date back to 1914, where
1t was found in South Carolina. The
driving of cattle from the infected dis
tricts in large numbers through Texas
probably gave it the name of Texas
fever.
In regard to the manner In which the
disease is communicated: Experience
shows that this does not occur by ami
mails coming in contact with others. 1t
is an indirect infection. The cattle from
an infected district first infect the pas
lures, roads, pens, cars, etc, and the
susceptible cattle obtain the virus sec
ond hand from them.
DIR. Theobald Smith of the Bureau of
Animal Industry, an eminent authority
on this disease, says: THE animals
do not contract the disease even when
separated by a fence except where
there be drainage from the infected
pasture"

ated in various ways, the chief means

Yet despite this host of watchdogs, the
Kaiser feels secure nowhere but in

Shortly after 1t was placed there,
about six years ago, Mr.. Hammond got
the meat peddler to put it on the
scales, and it's weight was forty-one
pounds, which was marked with pen
Gil upon the stone itself with the date.
Three years later it had grown to nifty
pounds. On the 18th day of May last
the stone was weighed again by the
same scales and tipped the beam at
sixty-five pounds. Mr.. Hammond then
made a series of measurements and
will preserve them for future COMPARE

tape measure, the longest way, is s

the narrow way it is feet inches.
