eft to the Levee cause of the pro-

press of the alluvial parishes Of
Louisiana to make common cause
with Mr.. Tompkins in order TINT
the public may fully understand
the great good such a work will be
to the levee cause, to the end that
they may extend the proper assis-

wide distribution possible. Mr..
Tompkins is one of the most active
and effective of the workers in the
levee cause. His enthusiasm and
energy are unbounded, and that he
will make a notable success goes
without saying-The prospectus,
which we have received, is full of
candid expressions of confidence
in the ability of the author to do
justice to the great cause he is
We hope onr

SPLENETIC FEVER.

To thu. i.ditcr: | notice through your
paper :iki sCme of our farmers are hay
in gtr0uhe with splenetic fever.
Having Lad experience with this dis
ease in my cattle while living in Miss
issippi aud Geo. .ria thought a few prac-
teal hints ilI>i now in the beginning OF
the seas)l would be of some benefit.
My advice is never to buy cattle from
another section without thoroughly tx
amining for he ticks. 1t is even dan
gerolls 10 ,'u. from your neighbor. IS
his farm may be infected with these
ticks.
When we had no stock law and every
boIy's ,:itt.e ran at large, then all hau
ticks from firth, and We're for that ~
son immune. But mow the cattle arc
kept AZ home md there may be no tick.
OH the farm for years and the cattle
will be free from sDlcnetic fever until
some are imported who will be infested
with ticks. There may be but few ticks
on them aud possibly all males, hence
very small, a. TIC females are the larger
ones. In fact the male does more dam
age than the female. The males are
about the size of a pin head and never
get la..;er.
SO far there has never been any sat
isfactory remedy for this fever, hence /
behooves us to look especially to mea ms
for preventing:
First. Keep your cattle at home. If
the pasture has ticks in it. let d flock OF
sheep run on it and they will gather up
the ticks as herd of cattle would, and
the ticks get tangled in the greasy wool
and soon die. as grease will kill them
Second. If new cattle are imported,
then l would advise that they be kept
qnarantined from the home cattle and
creased with linseed old on the tender
parts where the ticks accumulate. If
many cattle are to be creased, use a
small paint bush. and rub i'm the oil.
Third. Keep the cattle in a pasture
where there is plenty of shade and fresh
water. 1t might be remarked that we
have four kinds of ticks. but only one cat
tie tick. They are Matched out in the
ground and climb on to anything passing
by; If the animal passing by happens to
be COW, they Immediately set to work
to secure home and livelihood, but if
1T happens to be some other animal they
crawl about and eventually drop Off
The sDlenetic fever is caused by a
minute organism which is parasite Of
the tick. These little creatures get into
the blood of the cattle and cause q dis
ease of the spleen, enlarging it three or
four times its natural size
Respectfully yours,
