There Is no legitimate reason why ever

grown successfully TO which comparative

tine are wheat. oats. rye and barley.
IL IL true that many failures have been
recorded with all OF these crops, but the
trouble in nearly all instances has been
due to one Of three things. namely, i'm

failures than anything else
There are innumerable varieties OF all OF
these crops on the market. but there are
only a few standard sorts which seem TO

the south. OF wheats, the kulcaster and

TEXAS OR TICK FEVER.

b. T. c.. Greensboro, Ga, writes: I
have a COW that has been sick for three
or four days. At first she would eat a
little, but now she has quit eating any
thing and is getting very weak and can
scarcely walk. lost one about two weeks
ago but did not know she was sick uphill
found her dead. I would like to know
what is the trouble as / am afraid others
will get sick, and would like to know
what to do for them?
Your cattle are evidently infected with
ticks, as the symptoms contained in your
letter would indicate this to be the
know, are found in practically all the
southern states. During the warm sea-
son of the year the mature female drops
from the body of the host and lays a
large number of eggs which hatch in
from two to six weeks. The young ticks
crawl up on the grass and attach them
selves to the cattle as they pass. They
soon bury their mouthpiece in the thin
skin of the thighs and thus transmit the
disease. About ten days after the ticks
infest the cattle, the Characteristic symp-
toms appear. namely, high fever. the
temperature going as high as 1O5 to 10S
degrees. There is great weakness and
prostration as the disease progresses.
with trembling of the voluntary muscles
and difficulty in getting up. The head
droops, the ears lop, and the TANKS are
''tucksd up" There Is usually constipa,
ton, though i'm some cases there is diar-
,rhea instead. Diarrhea is considered y
good symptom, as more of such cases
recover. In milk cows the secretion OF
milk is stopped. The urine is a dark
cherry red. The ticks will be found on
the belly inside OF the thighs. on the
fore legs and brisket on close examina-
ton. There is no satisfactory medicinal
treatment for this disease. The ticks
should be scraped of with a dun knife
and the animal CREASED with carbolized
lvaseline or crude petroleum. Laxative
food should be given. as green corn and
other easily digested materials. Quinine
may be given In from to dram doses
three times a day for a few days. This
will stimulate the animal and act as Il
tonic as well.
You can eradicate the ticks by keeping
the animals off the infested pastures for
from six months to one year. and we
would advise YOU TO do this: that is, con-
fine your animals to the tick infested
area this summer and keep them off a
part Of your pasture. You will thus
starve the ticks to death. and If there
ere none on the cattle when you turn
them into the fresh pasture, yuo will be
able to rid yourself of the pest. You can
control the damage done by the ticks
largely through scraping off the cattle
every day aud keeping them well creased
or oiled. The grease should be used free
~ on the legs and thighs and tail. as the
ticks are more likely to attach themselves
TO the animals at these points than else
where.

Your COW is evidently suffering from an
attack of caxed udder or gargot. This
is the term generally applied in those
cases I'm which the milk secretion is alter
ed and appears as a stringy fluid. The
trouble to which you refer has probably
come from an injury; for instance. a
kick or a blow might produce IT, or pos
sibIy on some occasion the milk has not
been drawn thoroughly from this quarter
OF the udder, or II is possible that OBJ
jectionable germs may have found their
way into the udder and caused the
trouble The treatment is as follows
Draw the milk from the affected section
as completely and thoroughly as possible.
Battle well the affected part with hot
water for 20 minutes at a time, then rub
dry. and apply an ointment made by dis
solving two tablespoonful of gum cam
phor I'm a teacupful of melted fresh lard.
Add to this an ounce of the fluid extract
of Belladonna. The bathing should be
done three times daily and the udder we'll
rubbed with the ointment. If the milk
is drawn frequently and proper care exer-
cised the trouble should disappear very
shortly.
