Insurance cannot prevent

that would ensue without 1t,
It lets you down easy-sus'
tains you until you get auoth'

I represent a score OF the
oldest and best fire insurance
companies In the land, and
am giving very low rates just
now. The probability Is that
they will not be so much lon'
ger. Better take out sui
fcient insurance without de.
lay.
AS every Company now
charges exactly the same
rates why not have your prop

that IS well known In this
City and one you know has
md will pay all Its losses
PROMPTLY Here Is my list
and everybody Knows that
there are no better compan'
les or earth!

CATTLE TICKS

w. a. H.. Edganeld, $. CT have a
lot of cattle infested with ticks; they are
running at large in pasture and are II, m
good condition. ! wish 10 know II the
ticks are allowed to remain on them VIII
they do any material harm2 If 50, please
give me a remedy by which they can be
removed.
Answer-There Is no doubt of the fact
that cattle ticks materially. inture their
unwilling, helpless victims. but it would
be impractical Bile to say just how much.
OF course the injurious effects viii be
somewhat in proportion to the number of
ticks. In the case Of mich cows. the
nervous irritation together with the ac-
tUal loss Of blood, should be considered
n more than sufficient to Justify pcrss-
tent, determined effort to rid the cattle
and the pastures of these pestiferouS and
.ormentng Insects. Ada to these the
consideration of the loathsome. disgust
ing character OF the parasites, and it is
hard 10 realize that any cattle owner
would stop to consider the question to
how much harm they do. Happily there
is no difficulty in permanently Kidding
any inclosed fields or pastures of the
pests. When cattle are permitted to run
ION the range" mot inclossd), IL is prac-
tically impossible to get rid of the ticks
without the cooperation of every owner
of cattle that uses the range.
Have all your cattle brought up at
least once n week. Scrape or pick off all
the larger ticks and either mash them
nder foot or drop into a vessel con-
tanning water covered with kerosene.
Where the smaller ticks are very thick,
grease the parts SO infested with any
kind of cheap grease. Four parts axle
grease stirred up with one part of kero-
sene oil is a good mixture. Every day
the cattle will get a fresh supply of
young ticks from the pasture. and as you
will destroy them before they mature in n
few months the supply of ticks will be ex
hausted. The cattle tick will come to ma
turity only on cattle. When the female
