YHH CATTLE PLAGUE.

The subject OF dipping cattle to de
atroy the Texas fever ticks is O matter
of the gravest concern to the cattle
interests of this country, and the
Importance OF the subject is growing
every day. The Texas Stock and Farm
journal, speaking upon this subject
says.
While the dipping theory, with the
formula prescribed by the government,
has proven disastrous failure, yet the
Journal is of the opinion that further
experiments will result in the dis
eovery of formula that will kill the
ticks without doing serious damage TO
the cattle, after which provided the
tick theory is corrsct) cattle from be-
low the quarantine line will be per-
mitted TO 20 to al parts Of the United
States after being dipped.
There is no doubt OF the fact that
tbs government should not delay in
making the most exhaustive examina-
tion into the whole subject. The gov
srnment is far more able TO do this
than states and individuals, and, be-
sides, she is more deeply concerned In
the result than either. Until some
safisfGctory and positive remedy is
found and made effective the cattle
industry is bonnd to suffer and ulti-
matsly be ruined, both for home con-
sumption and for export. Until this
is found and uniform quarantine laws
adopted there can be no absolute seen-
rity 70 investors in raising and prspar-
ing cattle to supply the markets for
beef at home or abroad. Every year
only proves the necessity OF the gen
eral government taking the matter in
hand, and devising some effective
means Of stamping out the disease snd
adopting .ome uniform quarantine
that will supersede she
present inefficient aud bPnglesone
rules.
