"A Horace was still holding the

"Wnat do they say about him?" he
demanded.

sigh.

grew his suayity grew with it. .

Urging Tick Eradication

ting the benefit of native markets for
their cattle at all seasons Of the year,
without inspection, In addition to this,
several counties have been placed in
the modified area and are getting the
benefit Of native markets by inspection
the benefit of this work will be more
fully appreciated when you figure the
difference in value on 100000 cattle
which have been placed above the
line, at very low estimate, they are
worth $500 per head more than they
would be below the line, which would
amount to s2,25O,OO0.OO.
The Immediate benefit to your coun-
ty by being placed above the federal
line would not be less than $50 100000,
in increasing the value of the cattle
that you now have on hand. and the
annual benefit after the county has
been cleaned would amount to at least
one-fourth that amount.
If your board is inclined to take ad-
vantage of the provisions of this law
and will make a levy sufficient to carry
out its provisions, the state board Of
agriculture will gladly cooperate with
YOU in the work of furnishing an ex-
perienced man to work with inspectors
and in establishing quarantine lines
portecting your county from infested
districts during the progress of the
work.
We also have the assurance from the
federal authorities that they will as
sist in the work to some extent and
will give you the benefit of the ma
tive markets without restrictions, as
soon as the county has been made free
from the cattle tick.
In making a levy for this purpose,
| would suggest that you make 1t
sufficient to employ at least ten or
fifteen men, and to build an equal num-
Der of dipping yats, in order that the
work may be carried on as rapidly as
possible.
Hoping these suggestions will have
your favorable consideration. am,
Respectfully yours,

good a plan as any is to wind the
threads of the bolt tightly with soft
iron wire, such as stoyepipe wire, OF
which coil should always be carried

The winding should start at the end
of the bolt and follow the threads up
TO the part it is desired to retain. The
wire is then wound back in a second
layer over the first and the ends
twisted together. II there is hole in

DAIRY INSPECTOR

Matter Of Aduterations in MIX And

49, Commission

Guthrie, Okla, July 10.-C. w.
Holmes, recently appointed state dairy
inspector under the supervision of the
board of agriculture will in the near
future begin thorough and system
attic inspection OF the dairies and
creameries of the state The dairy
commission was placed under the su-
pervision of the board of agriculture
by the last legislature and the board
is now organizing the new department
for effective work.
"The principal work of the dairy
commission will be to build up the
dairy industry of the state rather than
to inspect the products of dairies and
creameries." said Secretary Charles
Barrett of the board OF agriculture to-
day. The matter OF determining
whether milk or butter is being adul-
terated will be left to the pure food
and health departments The dairy
inspection department will look after
sanitary conditions and Mr.. Holmes
will be equipped to administer the
tuberculin test to dairy cattle.
THE principal work Of the dairy
commission however" said Mr. Bar
rett win be to encourage the en-
ployment Of proper methods and to
demonstrate to the dairymen the great
possibilities Of profit in the dairy busi-
ness in Oklahoma. In the opinion of
the board this state should become the
chief dairy state in the union. The
mild climate. short and warm winters
and the large variety of forage crops
that thrive in Oklahoma should be an
inducement for many from other states
to engage in dairy pursuits in this
state"

For the furtherance Of the work OF
Graduating ticks among Oklahoma
eatde the state board Of agriculture
has addressed the following letter to
the various county commissioners over
the state:
Guthrie, okla. June 25, 1903.
To the Chairman and Members OF the
Board Of County Commissioners:
Gentlemen: I am forwarding you
under separate cover by todays mail
a number of copies of house bill No.
30 passed by the last legislature, pro
yiding for tick eradication by counties,
and respectfully call your attention to
the provisions of that law which gives
the county commissioners of any coun-
ty situated above the state quarantine
line, the authority to appropriate
money for the several purposes OF EN-
ploying inspectors, building dipping
yats. etc. You will note that section
2 gives you the authority to make the
levy without first having been peti-
toned, and that section 3. requires you
to do so after having been petitioned
by a majority of the voters Of the
county, or any municipal townships
within the county. Your county is
above the state quarantine line, and
we are confident that you realize the
importance Of this work and will avail
yourselves Of the provisions of sec
tion 2 Of the law and make the levy
at the July meeting
Up to THIS time, nothing has been
done in the way of tick eradication in
your county, except merely to require
cattle to be dipped before being al
lowed to come in from below the line,
this prevents tick infection from being
brought into the county, but does not
eradicate the ticks that are already
there, consequently, you cannot ex-
pect to get rid of the ticks and be
placed above the federal line until
dipping yats are established. inspec-
tors are appointed and systematic
effort is made to clean up the county.
Under territorial government, be-
fore statehood, and since statehood,
old Oklahoma has been carrying on
the work of tick eradication and at
this time has twenty-six counties
above the federal quarantine line, get

MERCER PROVING
A V|NITA BOOSTER
Illinois Man is Greatly Pleased With
His investment Here-oat Crop
Yielded 55 Bushels to Acre.

w. NJ. Mercer and little son left last
night for their home at Aurora. H..
after visit with the formers son
and son-ln-law at the farm four miles
east of town.
Mr.. Mercer, just before his depar
mre stated that his oat crop had
Just been threshed and that the reg
ular Oklahoma variety yielded about
forty bushels per acre, while the llli-
nois seed which he brought here in
the spring yielded fifty-five bushels to
the acre. He is greatly pleased with
his investment here and is a good
booster for Oklahoma and vinita.
The splendid address made Mr..
Mercer at the celebration here Mon.
day will long be remembered. Not
only is he a prudent farmer, but is
an orator OF ability, and his ideas
Of the needs Of the country as ex-
pressed in his address are admirable.
Mr.. Mercer takes great interest In
local affairs in the communities in
which he has property interests and
vinita is fortunate in securing the
favor Of such a citizen.
