A Foe to Oysters.

If the news I got from down
about Sayville, L. l., is tue, there
may be a scarcity of home grown
oysters next fall, - said wholesale
dealer in Fulton Market.
An oyster man from down
along Great South bay, whence
come some mighty fine shell fish
to the market, told me yesterday
that the starhsh are swarming in
the bay and are destroying all the
seed oysters.
Yes, starfsh so in schools of
millions. and they eat every young
oyster as they go. Not a single
seed oyster is left after they pass
over a bed. Usually they follow a
coast lire for miles ard miles be-
fore turning out TO deep water.
There's no way TO stop THEN raw
ages that I ever heard of but for
cuuately they don't come often. "

The married life of John Wesley,
the eminent founder of Methodism,
was not fortunate. He married a
widow with four children, pos
sessed of ample means. Mrs. Wes-
ley at first travelled with her
itinerant husband, but she soon
tired of the life. During her hus-
bands prolonged absences her
wifely curiosity led her to search
his pockets. The letters which she
found were not satisfactory. 1t is
even alleged that Mrs. Wesley
would sometimes lay violent hands
upon her husband and tear his
hair. They eventually separated.

To Eradicate the Tick.

A pleasant call is acknowledged
today from. J D. Mitchell, of Vic
toria. special field agent of the
department of agriculture. division
of entomology, who IS visiting the
ranches throughout this section,
investigating the fever tick ques-
ton. In conversation this morn
ing with HERALD representative
Mr., Mitchell said;
The department of agriculture
proposes to make war on the fever
tick, with the object of its ulti-
mate eradication and for this pur-
pose will establish stations through
out the state to educate the cattle
men and farmers on the life habits
of the fever tick, the damage it
does, and the best method of
getting rid of it. 1t is we'll known
!
that the tick can live but a limited
time without host. The plan
proposed by the government will
be to starve out the tick by the
rotation process. Thus, by cutting
pasture in two parts, and putting
all of the stock on one half and
keeping the other half free OF
cattle, horses, mules and donkeys,
for about FIVE months in summer
and longer in winter, all the ticks
in the free half will die of starva-
ton. Then, free the stock of
ticks, by dipping, spraying or any
other satisfactory way and put
them in the free part of the pasture,
and starve out the other half.
North Carolina has already
placed ten counties above the
national quarantine line by this
process. "
Speaking further on the tick
question Mr.. Mitchell says that
thorough investigation has proven
that the tick is directly responsible
for the death of thousands of head
of cattle, as it is a noticeable fact
that when ticks are bad during the
summer and fall the percentage OF
loss is greater during the winter.
Another thing, the tick is response
BILE for the increased prevalence of
screw worms in the summer time,
by providing a place for the fly to
deposit the eggs. This last is
matter with which stockmen have
always had to contend, and THE
HERALD believes every stockman,
not only in this section, but
throughout Texas will heartily CO.
operate with the government in
Graduating the tick nuisance.
