but not here enumerated lpsses. But
there Il one cause of immense loss
which even the dullcst must see when
u is once pointed out, aud this Is the
very great shrinkage In the sale price
OF all cattle marketed from tick
infected territory. Now tie dullest
farmer In Mississippi can surely
understand the difference between
! cent aud 10 cent cotton. SO all can
, understand this shrinkage In price.
! But why is IL? Know then aud
understand that all cattle In the
great markets which Tx the price Of
all cattle, which are from tick
, Infected section, and under suspicion
} and under the ban, and In such
markets can only be sold for iinmedi
, ate slaughter. And this cuts dowt
the price fearfully. But how much {
!. this?' Well, 10 Tennessee for th
t past two years the price OF cattle o
d like grade Ia the tick Infected coun
r ties, as compared with the price II
Z tick-free counties has been about
J. shrlnkage OF two cents per pound liv
|. weight. And now let us assume tha
o all cattle In Mississippi are just mer
e scrubs--and yet we know 1t Is not So
e and that they will only weigh on th
. average 500 pounds per head, liv
Is weight, and then let US furthe
!, assume that the loss 10 price 10 plac
!, OF two cents is only one cent pt
h pound, and yet here is sure an
ID proven loss OF $5 per head on all til
ID cattle Ia Mississippi. And on 1000
Df 900 It is an annual loss OF $4,000, 90
O. And now add up all the other loss'
I'd enumerated, and vino can doubt II
10 close accuracy OF the estimate Of Il
er experts mentioned above? So mut
ct for the losses.
THE REMEDY.
But Is there any sure, safe, and &C
IS tain remedy? Yes, indeed. And Il
IN remedy Is so simple that it can
ly stated 10 these words--viz, grea
H. and quarantine. Yes, any oily grea
cd such as bacon grease, cotton seed O
1t, or crude petroleum, or an emulsion
