THE DAWDELION.
Adown the sunny meadow,
Along the mountain pass,
The dandeien s flaming,
- A candle in the grass,

I
The dandelien's flaming,
A candle in the grass.
It burns at morn and noontide
Unwasted and undimmed,
And by no elin scissors
Its wick is gayly trimmed.
No zephyr light and airy
That dallies round about
This candle Of the grasses
Can ever blow it out.
When all it's gold has crumbled
And quite dissolved away
Along the meadow drifting
We note a gauzy spray
That wraith-like swirls and eddies
Across the sunny dell,
But to what fairy haven
Is more than I can tell.

GOVERNMENT COOPERATION
Will Assist South in Cattle Tick En-
termination.

1t was authoritatively stated yester-
day that the United States Department
of Agriculture, veterinary division,
will assist the south through CO.
operation with the southern state de-
partmentS in the determination of the
cattle tick pest which has been
enormously destructive to the live
stock interests of this section. The
government it was said, will send
representatives, expert in this kind of
work, to every part of the south in
fected with the pest The action of
the United States department was
caused by the insessatn agitation
brought to bear upoT. it by the south
ern departments, and the announce
ment of cooperation will be received
with joy throughout the south.
One of the worst effects of this pest
is the national quarantine, that is the
most harmful ban to the southern
cattle industry, and which is the
means of the losses of millions of dol
lars annually to cattle raisers. AL
though every year the territory in
Guided in the quarantine is gradually
growing less, yet it would be "a great
many years before the lines would be
reduced to the extent to repair the
lost damages done the industry.
Perhaps the main reason why the
government has consented to lend its
assistance is the fact that it has been
discovered in recent years that the
tick can be eXterminated. Heretofore
it was thought that the disease was
incurable. The government expended
millions of dollars in stamping out
the foot and mouth disease that
threatened southern cattle, and it will
doubtless be liberal with the south.
