i will give you a sketch of the tick
law, as our friend. Noyes, has told you
that you would be nearly rich when he
gets through with you. If you have
any cattle, sense or money then it will
surprise me. The tick law is just
about like the dog law, slack wad
Mr.. Noyes says the people have a lot
to say about the tick law but he will
give you the pretty side all the time.
He will tell you to grease your cattle
to keep the ticks Off but you might
Just as we'll put water on them. He
will also tell you to put your cattle up
to starve the tick. believe my part
of that. One Of my neighbors has had
tick all winter in bottle and it is
still alive, so you see there is nothing
in that. When he finds tick on your
COW he will pull the tick off, quaran-
tine your cow, and make you put her
up in dry lot to cleanse her. After
you starve your COW two or three
weeks they will come along and in
spect her. Nothing wrong nor hash t
been. Then they will tell you to put
some more of that good old grease on
her and she is all right until another
tick gets on her and then you must go
through the same operation again.
This is all to make your cattle worth
from s. to $40 more When you get
that please let me know. | have heard
folks talk that way before-just a little
more money. have heard all their
pretty tales told to us up here in Sc
quatchie Co. If you get through with
with it alive you will never look like
anything any more, nor have much
sense, either They will swipe the
murrain out Of existance, 30 they say.
The tick men are Just little smarter
than Old Master. They will try to
make you think they can do anything
for the money and that they have stop
ped the murrain up here / guess they
did. We haven't had a case in two OF
three years but think we lack little
more yet. They will stamp it so deeT
il will never rise again-if the money
holds out. just little more money
and they will kill all those internal
ticks. We are going to have this thing
all right before we will quit if tht
poor farmers money don't give out. II
it does we will dig star root to buy
grease for we are mighty shifty NJ
here. We want TO keep our COWS
creased with that grease so as to dry
them up. We don't care for starving

Spring is here with all its beauties,
birds are singing, the zephyrs are
waiting the sweet perfumes across the
plain as of yore, when of men of honor
met at sunrise near large spring in
this now lovely suburb, to settle their
differences on the field Of honor, az
they called it. in mortal combat. The
Red Men gathered to quench their
thirst and to exhibit their trophys that
they had gained on the battlefield, in
the way Of scalps of the white men and
women. Here lovers met to whisper
words Of love TO each other and to
dream young lovers dreams, but they
are all removed to the happy hunting
ground, and now in this year of grace,
we find grown town, a thrifty peo-
pie, all rushing on TO their future es-
tiny. Churches and school houses take
the place of the dueling ground and
where the savage met in their war and
first fruit dances. Soon we must give
place to others that will follow with
perhaps superior advantages and still
rush on to their future destiny and re-
wards.
