TEXAS CATTLE FEVER.
Editor THE CHRONICLE:

Editor THE CHRONICLE:
Undoubtedly the press is the
public's great and best schoolmas-
ter, and SO | am going to ask space
in your columns in which / may
talk to your readers on topic
which greatly concerns them and
all the citizens of Tennessee.
I refer to the Texas cattle fever,
contagion-which at first mere
bagatelle-has spread and widen
ed, silently, but surely, until it has
involved thirty-six of the counties
of our fair State, and is now cost
ing Jour cattle owners not less than
S4,000,O00 yearly, while it's injury
and dead loss to all the Southern
States is annually the vast sum of
sixty millions of dollars!.
| propose to discuss, in fewest
words, it's cost, it's cause and it's can.
But says some doubling Thomas,
Il don't believe the loss can be so
great"
Well, now, the greatest money
loss is from the very great shrink
age in the sale price of all cattle
marketed. All Southern cattle are
under suspicion and under the ban.
Not because they are Southern cat
tie. There is no ban on Southern
cotton, or coal, or lumber. But be-
cause of the splenic or Texas fever.
This causes guarantees. Southern
cattle can only be sold in the great
markets for immediate slaughter
And prejudice is engendered, and
buyers take advantage of it, and
hence the lowest price for cattle.
For example. In November last
the writer was in Chester and Nc
Marry counties and made careful
inquiry as to the price of cattle,
and he found that beef cattle were
selling, when they could be sold at
all, for from one cent to one and q
half cents per pound, live weight.
But going directly to Obion Coun,
ty he found the same kind Of cattle
were being snapped up by eager
buyers from st. Louis and Chicago
at four cents, live weight.
And SO 1000 pound steer, on
the hoof, which would only bring
SO to $15iD Chester and McNairy,
sold readily in Obion for $40!
Why thisgreat difference? Well,
Chester and McNairy counties are
below the quarantine line and are
badly tick Infected, while Obion
County is above the same quaran-
tine line and is free from ticks and
Rexas, fever. This and this alone

accounts for the difference in the
sale price of a single steer of from
$25 to $50.
Now, by the United States GEN.
sus, there are 100000 head of
cattle in Tennessee, and yearly
loss average of So on each head is
surely 100000. Then there is
the loss on all the cattle which lie
down and die, and ON the great
number which are SO stunted and
injured by the contagion that they
become mere worthless scrubs.
The only criticism on the esti-
mated loss of 100000 annually
to Tennessee is that it is altogether
too low!

to Tennessee is thatit is altogether
too low!
THE CAUSE.
The true, the sole, the only cause
of the Texas cattle fever is mi.
croscopic germ which is alone car
ried and transmitted by that pecul-
lar tick, known to science as bo-
ophilus annulatus, or cow-loving
tick. There is no doubt about it.
Proof has been piled on proof. 1t
is now demonstrated fact.
THE CURE.
The sure and certain cure and
remedy for the contagion, which
is decimating SO many herds, is to
kill the ticks. Yes, but how? Well,
kill them on live cattle and also ON
grounds and pastures. But how
on live cattle? And the reply is,
first pick off and burn the big fat
females, swollen with the eggs they
are about to lay.
Don't let them fall on the ground
to lay those eggs and infect the en-
tire neighborhood. And then with
a sponge or swab rub over all the
lesser ticks, wherever found on the
brute's body, goodly quantity of
oily grease-yes, any oily grease
mixed with little sulphur, itself
a tick poison.
This we'll and honestly applied
will kill every tick which it covers.
How do we know? Because it has
been tried thousands of times, and
never fails, when honestly applied.
That's why.
But as to fields and pastures
Know then and remember this:
No female tick ever lays her eggs
on the body Of COW or steer. No,
never! But when the female tick
is ready to lay her myriad of eggs,
from 1900 to 5000, she, by instinct,
crawls out on the brutes long hair
and falls off on the ground, and
then, on grass and heritage, pro-
ceeds to lay those eggs, and then
she dies and troubles cattle no
more.
But these eggs will in from thir-
teen to forty days, according to the
weather, each hatch out into a
young, active and hungry seed
tick, and as a great many fecund
females will fall off the same ticky
COW brute why the inevitable re-
suit must be that the pasture or
range will soon be sown with
swarms and colonies of young and
hungry seed ticks-hungry for
their natural food, the blood OF
horned cattle.
And now, since every living
thing, even ticks, must eat OF
starve to death, why just rigidly,
and certainly, and surely keep all
cattle off that range or pasture and
they will and must starve to death
But if you don't, why when the
next cow or steer comes browsing
along, or by chance lies down, then

The boys are telling good one on Tommie Weaver this week. It seems that he called on young lady one evening recently and as he was taking hls departure for home she told him he reminded her very much of the Venus of Milo. Tommie supposing he had been highly complimented hied himself to his room took down his encyclo pedia, and proceeded to investigate the qualities of that ancient sister that had brought her name into history. You can imagine Tom mic feelings and disgust when he discovered that this Venus had no ernhs and he realized what he had missed.
