TO STAMP DISEASE FROM EN-.
TIRE COUNTRY.
EXPENSE OF QUARANTINE LINE.
Millions Are Spent When Department
of Agriculture Says 1t is Needless
Quarantine Line Run Across United
States.

Washington. Feb. Ga statement
issued by the bureau of animal indus
try of the agricultural department
says that publication will soon be
issued by the United States depart
ment of agriculture on the subject of
Texas fever, disease which has been
serious obstacle to the development
and prosperity OF the cattle industry
of this country. and especially in the
south
1t is stated that the infected terri
tory has been carefully studied and
a quarantine line established which
extends across the country from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. Continuing
the statement recites:
1T is estimated that there is in the
quarantined area four and a half mil
lions of cattle east of the Mississippi,
and 100000 west of that river,
which, at a reduction of $3.50 per
head, will give the enormous shrink
age in value of s23,25O,OOO directly
chargeable to the cattle tick This
should be regarded as an unneces-
sary reduction in the assets of the
infected country
The above figures do not include
the decrease in flesh, and the lack of
development of the infected animals,
nor the expense to the federal, state
and local governments for enforcing g
| the quarantine regulations. The
shrinkage in the milk production of
the cattle harboring any ticks will
average one quart per day, and at 3
! cents per quart for the $4,000 ticky
dairy cattle, out of more than 1000, 900
dairy cattle below the quarantine line,
would amount to 900 annually.
Approximately 3S7,5OO animals die
each year of Texas fever. at an esti-
mated loss of $5,S12, 500 per annum.
With these losses. Texas fever is
responsible for a loss of about $40,
100000 annually to the stOckmen of
the country. These appalling losses
and annual sacrifices of the cattle
raisers, it is believed, can be entirely
effaced, IN time, by methods outlined
by the department, and at small pro
pOrtionate cost"
The department of agriculture has
issued the annual regulation for the
| prevention OF the spread of Texas
fever, effective February 1. On and
after that date cattle are not allowed
to be moved from the quarantined
area to other parts of the country ex
cept by rail for immediate slaughter
and under considerations and condi
lions prescribed in the regulations
The quarantined area comprises Ar

Indian Territory, all of Georgia ex

southern half of California, the south

Irritation in China.

The question of modern irrigation
is one of the greatest Importance to
North China and one which the Chin
csc government appears never to
have considered. Year after year the
crops fail from lack of rain, immense
tracts OF country are laid waste. the
people suffer and become restless.
There is ample water to irrigate the
greater part of this territory, but to
do SO requires large capital and a
wait of two or three years for returns
The returns. however, would be great
and the security ample for any foreign
capital China might wish to borrow for

STATE HAPPENINGS.
Amen. the shadrlc.s kinins.

Columbia-The coroner's inquest
over the body of the giant, Mitchell
Shadrick, who was killed ear here by
his nephew, Henry Jonas, has been
concluded. The finding was that Shad-
rick met death as the result of q
wound caused by q rock thrown by
Jonas. Jonas, who Is still in prison
here, seems not to realize what he has
done. He ia a youth Of Is years, and
talks readily about the killing. He
claims that Shadrick was pursuing
him with a large club when he threw
the stone that caused the giants
death. There Is q dispute about the size
Of the stone, but the fact seems estah-
lished that 1t vas not half as large as
the hand. The killing grew out of q
free-for-all fight, in which seven farm
ers were engaged. Shadrick was the
tallest man in the county, standing i
feet and 8 inches, and weighed about
ESQ pounds.
