 The history cause of the disease, how to distinguish harmless ticks found on cattle from Texas fever ticks, loss occa- stoned by cattle ticks, treatment, preNen- ton and measures for reducing the infect ed area will be fully treated and Illus. trations of the several kinds of ticks which infect cattle/w will be furnished.
 With the exception of Virginia, Ken lucky and Tennessee all the southern states are more or less troubled by Texas fever.
 It is declared by the department of az riculture that the Texas fever tick is re- sponsible for about 0000.000 of loss an nually to the people of the infected coun- try, and that it also lowers the assets of the south by an additional $230000 900. Unquestonable the loss is enormous.
 FIourishes in the South.
 ''rhe ravages of this fever," said an of fcial of the department this morning, "could be carried by no other section of the country but the south, whose ex- eellent pastures. rich soil, and salubrious climate are the only reasons for it's abill ty to overcome such obstacles in meeting the competition of the west.
 And it is the inherent capacity of the south for greatly increasing its herds and enlarging its pasture lands that makes the actual loss even secondary to the potential loss due to restrictions necessi- tated by the presence of the cattle tick. This potential loss may be described as the difference between the value of the cattle industry of the south today and the extent to which this industry would be increased if farmers and ranchmen were assured that their lands and cattle would not become infested with fever ticks. Could this assurance be given, the bene- licial effects would extend over the entire country, because the market of the north ern breeder would thereby become great ly extended.
 These appalling losses and annual sac rifices of the cattle raisers of the infected district can be entirely effaced, and this at a small pfoportionate cost for. with enthusiastic stockmen, satisfactory state legislation. sufficient money, and q trained corps of inspectors, the cattle tick may be exterminated, and every dol lar expended in this work will be. re- turned many fold during each succeeding year.

How to Meet a Burglar.
tbe Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
 Highwaymen are around again and we should all make up our minds how to behave should we meet them. One way is to hold out hand to the thug and say: 'Why, how are you, old man! Glad to see you, Put it there" This perplexes him, and it's sous to francs he shakes hands. Then you excladm: By the way have you got cigarette?" Utterly dis concerted, he offers you one. Thus you have gained time and employed 1t in thought. It's astonishing how actively the mind works in the presence of high wayn1an In a few seconds you have worked out a plan.

WOULD SAVE SOUTH
 MANY MILLIONS Texas Fever Directly Due to
 Cattle Tick GAN BE EXTERMINATED Government Has Found It Possible to Exterminate Ticks, Thus Remov- ing Constant Menace to
 Cattle Breeders.

Washington, July 3.-(Special. )-Texas Fever, very serious obstacle to the cat tie industry of the south has been pretty thoroughly understood since the investigo- tions of Messrs. Smith and Kilborne of the bureau of animal industry of the de- pertinent of agriculture.
 Their work Is generally accepted as showing conclusively that the cause of the disease was a minute parasite living within the blood cells, the intermediate stage of the development of which oc- cured in the cattle tick thus making this tick the indirect but absolutely essential factor in the natural production of the disease Above the latitude where the cat tie tick is destroyed by the cold of win ter the disease can be controlled by keep ing southern tick infested catatle from passing through the country during cer- tain seasons. It is also known that by severing the relations of the fever tick and native cattle the former may be ex- terminated. thus making it possible to eradicate the disease and thereby to re- move constant menace to the southern cattle breeder. feeder and dairyrnan. In spite of these facts, however, compara- lively little work has been done towards controlling this disease in the infected districts, due probably to lack of knowl- edge of the advantage which may accrue from such efforts.
 Will Issue Bulletin.
 With the object of suggesting plans to eradicate the cattle tick, and thereby to enable stock owners of the south to es- cape the loss of millions of dollars annual ly sustained by them result of its devastations. the department of agricul- ture will shortly issue in the form of a bulletin general discussion of the Texas fever. Especial pains will be taken to make as clear as possible the absolutely proved facts regarding the disease, so that every owner will be able to recog- nize the malady and to carry out sue cessful measures for eliminating the tick which causes it. The importance of this knowledge to the farmers of the southern states is becoming more apparent daily particularly since the advent of the boil weevil. At the present rate of it's progress this insect seems destined to spread throughout the cotton growing district within a few years, forcing the planters who formerly grew cotton exclusively to depend upon other products, with cotton as surplus crop. and to adopt the only rational system of farming. that of diver sification of crops. the keystone of which is live stock raising The bulletin on Texas fever which will be issued by the department and which may he obtained by farmers by writing the department,

they are being robbed and that in robbing turn
