Eradicating the Cattle Tick.

: The recent release by the United
States Department of Agriculture OF
several counties previously quaran'
tined on account of the cattle tick is
most hopeful and encouraging to those
waging war on this pest of the South.
That science and hard work are CO.
operating to combat this terrible hand
leap to the southern farmer is realized
in the releasing of 10000 square miles
of territory since the work was begun
in 1906. The cost of the work of get
ting rid of ticks is insignificant COM
pared to the losses sustained by the
farmers and stockmen Of the South.
These come under the following heads:
Death from Texas or southern cattle
fever, in and out of the quarantlned
district; lower prices paid tor southern
cattle; impoverishment of the blood
caused by the ticks and consequent
loss in quality and quantity of beef;
greatly reduced milk production;
southern breeders being barred from
opportunities for sale of their animals
in any but quarantined districts eX-
cept under certain restrictions; eX-
penses incurred yearly by the Federal
oONCluulSliI rilu ototSo w
quarantine lines.
The sum total of these losses is va
riously estimated at from $40, 600, 600 to
500. 900, 900 annually, which the
southern farmers and stockmen in
fourteen States are carrying as a bur-
den because of the presence OF the tick.
A similar loss in other lines Of bust
ness or crops would L. all probability
cause a panic in commercial circles OF
the States affected.
As a matter of fact the cattle pro-
ducers of the South have some decided
natural advantages over those OF the
North. A longer warm season permits
of greater pasture privileges, and the
milder climate causes less feed TO be
communicative factors of great value
in the cattle industry. With the tick
out of the way the South would afford
q fine field for profitable stock raising.
Numerous Investigations and eXper-
iments have been conducted by which
it has been c%onclusively proved that
the cattle tick Is the only natural
means by which Texas or southern fe-
yer of cattle is transmitted, and that
by completely severing the relations
between cattle and ticks the pests may
be exterminated from any locality.
But this means thorough, systematic,
and persistent work in destroying
ticks. If the citizens of the quaran.
tined area will begin Immediately and
not permit ticks to mature on their
cattle, horses, and mules, the good re-
suits to the cattle industry can hardly
be calculated. They should urge their
State and county authorities to take up
Systematically the work of tick eradi.
cation, that they may ecu the coop,
Grafton of the Federal authorities and
ultimately the removal of quarantine
restrictions. The Bureau of Animal
Industry, Washington, D. c., will be
glad to send to any n on request
some publications giving directions fol
getting rid of ticks.

FAMILY COUGH SYRUP
Cures Any Cough In Five Hours.
NEW PRESCRIPTION HERE.

Here is given the most effective
cough prescription known to the
medical world. 1t is a mild laxative,
too, and this is what a body needs
when suffering with cough and cold
on the lungs. A cough or cold indi-
Gates posons in the system, causing
Inflammation and congestion. Nearly
all cough syrups relieve but make the
trouble worse by their constipating eff
fects. This prescription not only re-
lieves quickly. but it cures any cough
that is durable. Get one-half ounce
fluid wild cherry bark, one ounce
compound essence cardiol and three
ounces syrup white pine compound.
Mix in bottle. Take for acute cough
or bronchitis twenty drops every half
hour for four hours. Then one-half to
one teaspoonful three or four times
daily. Give children less according to
age. A few hours treatment will cure
and heal the throat and lungs of all
but consumptives. Cut this out and
give it to some friend who may need
it to be saved from an early death by
consumption.
