of course army regulations are silent on
such a union. At the same time it Is
against the army regulations for sol
dier to marry without permission this
because the enlisted man is not to be ham
rered in obeying orders through the wife
and family of a soldier.
On the other hand it would not do to
discharge the soldier because he married,
as that course would be often used by
enlisted men as a means of severing them
selves from the service. 1t is, therefore,
not proposed to discharge Dilworth be-
cause of his marriage, and he will not be
discharged until it appears to the satis-
faction of the commanding officer that
his marriage constitutes a scandal and
acts as a reflection on the uniform. This
might easily be the case if the soldier
appeared in public In his service garb
and accompanied by his WIFE, That would
be a reflection on the uniform which could
not be tolerated, and would lead to criti-
cism and discomfort upon the soldiers of
the company. If 1t appears that the mar
riage attracts attention there Is nothing
left for the military authorities but to
discharge the man without honor.

A Remedy For White Fly.
ditOr Florida AgricuIfurist:

n Il
Two years ago l mentioned in my
report before the Horticultural that
we had found tree in one of our
groves which had been cleaned of the
sOOty mould by common snails. This
year they have spread to about 100
trees and are in other groves i'm our
vicinity In company with Prof E.
H. Sellards today we made an ex-
animation of the snails and their
work We found them on the tree
trunks, on dead and live twigs, leaves
and fruit. The tree often being
cleaned has bright clean trunk and
glossy foliage as if vanished. The
Snails in their work seemed to be
after the sOOty mould, and are leav-
ing Il great deal of the brown and
red fungi which preys upon the
white fly. They seemed to have eaten
off whatever coating or sOOty mould
had accumulated over these fungi.
Some think they are destroying scale
and white fly eggs. We did not find
any live fly pupae on the lower part
of the tree which we examined, but
we decided this was owing to the
great quantity of brown and red
fungi present This season has been
an ideal ore for the spreading of these
fungi. beirg wet from the first of
July to the first of October.
AS the snail preys upon vegetable
life and seems to take a particular
fancy to the sOOty mould we shall
distribute them through our groves,
for if we can by their aid clean our
fruit and trees during the summer
and early fall it will save the expense
of spraying early in the season and
washing the fruit when picked. Fruit
cleaned by these snails will color 60
days earlier and make two sizes larg-
er fruit. Now the question is, if they
can be prOpa gated i'm all the white
fly districts or only near the coast
on low lands. This question can be
answered by some of our professors
and l think the subject worthy of
attention of our experiment stations.

of the bulletin is devoted to methods

Texas Fever.

In the Agriculturist of September 20
and 27 we published bulletin from
the Tennessee Experiment Station on
the eradication of the Texas fever
tick. We have just received Bulletin
"a of the Louisiana Experiment Sta
ton. The title is Texas Fever the
subtitle is. Being General Sum
mary of our knowledge of the Sub
ject to Date
We wish that we could give the
whole bulletin, but it would occupy
too much space A brief synopsis
may be interesting.
The first page gives the various
names by which the disease is known
throughout this country and also in
England, Australia and Italy. In
England it is called Red water,' in
Italy it is called Bovine malaria"
The cause of the trouble is next
discussed.
..The one and only cause of Texas
fever is minute or MicrO-paraSite
belonging to the animal kingdom
bacteria proper, belonging to the vege-
table kingdom), and the name given
to it by biologists, as before stated,
is the pirOplasma bigeminum. 1t
is 'two-hOst' organism. That is,
it lives during its life cycle in the
bodies of two individual hosts, and
does not seem to be able, naturally,
to perpetuate itself in the absence of
one or the other of them. These are,
the bovine animal (OX, COW, etc. and
the common cattle tick, in this cOun-
try. When transmitted into the cir
culatiOn of a susceptible animal, it
muitiplies in the blood, causing the
destruction of the red cells; reduction
in their number, and produces the
different symptoms peculiar to the
disease including high fever. When
an animal RECEIVERS, however, its power
of resistance become so strengthened
against the effect of the parasite as,

ticks, to remain healthy Gmmune)

The common cattle tick after feed

animal can. through the medium of
the progeny of the female tick. trans
NIT the micro parasite into the circu-
Iation of Il susceptible animal. And in
this way the germ is perpetuated and
the disease spread. But. If the two
hOsts-the bovine animal and the tick
are separated as for example by de-
StrOying the tick. the infection cannot
be disseminated. because the parasite
cannot exist outside of the bodies OF
these host animals. In short, 1t re-
0uireS the tick to extract the parasite,
along with the blood. from an immune
animal which has been previously
exposed to ticks. or one suffering from
the disease and innOculate it into the
blood of one that is susceptible, before
the disease can be transmitted. except
through artificial means. which are
resOrted to i'm the process of artificial
immuniZatiOn."
We have quoted this long explana-
ton of the cause of Texas fever. be-
cause it is not generally understood.
The bulletin then goes on to state
that up to 1889 it WAS not suspected
that ticks had any connection with
the Texas fever. Since then expert
ments have proven. cOnclusively, that
the fever is not transmitted in any
way except by ticks. Though several
species of ticks are known in the Unit
ed States only one, the BOOphilus an
the ability to carry the disease germ.
The ticks are dangerous only after
feeding upon the blood of immune
cattle or those suffering from Texas
fever The life history of the cattle
tick is then given: Briefly, the female
laws from 1900 to 1000 eggs which
hatch out in from 20 to 80 days, in
summer time, longer in cool weather.
The young ticks do not move for
from their birthplace but gather in
clusters on the grass and attach them
selves to the first passing animal.
The life of the tick. after becoming
attached to an animal is usually
only from three to five weeks but may
be longer i'm cold weaOther.
All southern cattle are not immune
to Texas fever 1t is stated that in
Louisiana certain alluvial lands, sub
ject to overflow and innundatiOn are
free from ticks and the native cattle
remain free from the disease but are
susceptible TO infection when removed
to tick infested pastures. Cultivated
fields are free from ticks, So that
those who keep cattle in pastures
need not be annoyed by these destruc-
tive parasites if they will use the neces-
sary precautions for few months.
The symptoms of the fever are de-
scribed very carefully. 1t appears
that an animal may have the fever
several days before any noticeable
symptoms can be seen, the fact being
shown only by the use of a thermOme-
ter The first signs of trouble are
dullness, loss of appetite, not chewing
the cud, loss of flesh, staggering gait,
hurried breathing, dropping of the
ears. remaining apart from the herd,

"The liver is the organ most serious
ly involved. 1t is very much enlarged
and cOngested."
The gall bladder is usually found
to contain considerable quantity of
gall but the appearance of it is very
much changed. having been likened
to the appearance of "chewed grass
and can be drawn out in long fiat
shre,lS.
The bladder may be found to con-
tain from one to four quarts of high
cOlOred urine. the cOlOring due to the
presence of coloring matter OF the
red blood cells mixed with the fluid.
SO far as known. no specific treat
ment has been found for Texas fever.
In cases that were artificially pro-
duced. for the purpose of making an
important animal immune, medicine
is seldom required, occasionally
little quinine is used.
Whatever medical treatment is used
should be given at the earliest pos
sible moment after the disease has
been recognized. The first thing to be
done is to rid the animal effectually
of ticks. both large and small, and
place it in comfortable quarters which
are absolutely tick-free.
IF the bowels are torpid, the con-
ditiOn may be relieved by the admin
iStratiOn of dose of EPSON salts,
combined with a moderate quantity
of ground ginger. and made into a
dIench with about two quarts of tepid
water One to one and One-half
pounds of the salts and a half to one
ounce of the ginger should be a suffi
cient dose for an adult animal. Free
access to plenty of pure drinking
wafer should always be permitted.
Quinine may be given i'm from one to
two drachm doses. three or four times
daily if the temperature, of the animal
remains high-say. from 1O3 degrees
upward. with the reduction of the
fever the dose of the quinine may be
reduced"
''The administration of medicine,
however is by no means all that is
neceSSHTN. NOOu is HILL tic
battle.'' The nOurishment should be
carefully looked to. and the patients
likes and diSlikeS. in this particular,
closely observed, and, if possible, an
ticipated; easily digestible nutritious
and tempting food being preferable
Owing to the immense destruction of
the cell elements of the blood, and the
consequent lowering of the vital fore
es which occurs in this disease, it
stands to reason that the food should
be nutritious. or. of what might be
termed. the tiSSue-building class"
Next to the method of rendering
cattle immune by incubation is
taken up and described very minutely.
But as this operation cannot safely
be performed by any one except an
expert we will omit the directions
Something might be done at home if
an imported animal could be kept
in place entirely free from ticks
and then apply a few ticks, being very
careful as to the number and begin
treatment as soon as the temperature
begins to rise. which will be in from
eight to ten days.
Careful housing and nursing is
quite as important during an attack
