walton method, or the taking of the
cattle, horses and mules out of the
pastures for sufficient time to
months-to cause the death of the
ticks by starvation. When cattle are
returned to these pastures they
must be free of ticks or all the work
will be lost While it is not a very
difficult task to entirely free cattle
from ticks, this is the point where
many fail to complete the results
aimed at
There are about three general
methods by which the cattle may be
freed of ticks before putting them
onto pastures that have been
cleaned.
Three Methods OF Killing Ticks.
1. The cattle may be dipped and
run in clean lot for a week or ten
days and then re-dipped, when II
will be safe to put them on the clean
pastures. If all the large ticks are
first removed and the cattle then
dipped one dipping will be reason
ably safe. We shall discuss the dip.
ping question more thoroughly later
2. The large ticks may be remov.
ed, the cattle creased, or washed
with the arsenical dip, run in a clean
lot for week and then creased OF
washed again, when, IL the work has
been done thoroughly. IT will be
safe to put the cattle on the clear
pastures.
3. The third method of freeing
the cattle of ticks is based on the
time it takes the eggs to hatch and
the length OF time the ticks remain
on cattle. 1t will be remembered
that ii was stated that the eggs re
quire from Is to 90 days to hatch
under summer conditions, and tina,
while the ticks sometimes remain
on cattle as long as 60 days, the,
rarely remain on longer than AZ
days and in summer not usual,
longer than from 2S to 80 days.
With these facts in mind 1t viii

cattle are put in a clean lot and KEEP
there for II or IS days and ther

either lot for the ticks to drop of
lay eggs and young ticks hatch and
get on the cattle, but they have
been in the lots "a to SO days which
in summer, is long enough for al
the ticks to have matured and drop
ped off.
The least troublesome method o
freeing the cattle is to dip them. bu
one dipping is not certain to kill al
the ticks although 1t Is usually eff
fective.

is necessary to do the work with ex

WARSHIP COMING
UP MISSISSIPPI

WASHINGTON, December 10.-Aft-
er the April maneuvers off Guantana-
mo, one of the battleships of the At
lantic fleet will probably be sent up
the Mississippi river on friendly visit
to the cities along that stream. Sec
rotary Meyer thinks that such a visit
would be a good thing.
Strange as it may seem the men
now controlling the policy of the de-
partment are not worried by any ques-
ton as to the depth of water at the
mouth of the river. Those in control
two years ago protested to be. The
only question in connection with the
matter is as to whether the diplomatic
sky will be clear enough at that time
of the year to permit the detachment
of one of the fighting craft from the
unit patrolling the Atlantic.

is always in need of enlisted men and
sometimes of officers. Therefore any

So royalty treated were the men and

PLAN TO IMPEACH
BALLINGER

WASHINGTON Dec. "A resolu-
ton asking for the impeachment of
the Secretary of the Interior, Richard
A. Ballinger, will be presented in the
House by a Democrat early in the
coming session of Congress, accord
ing to reports which have come to the
ears of Republicans. No Democrats
who could be reached, however, would
or could confirm the report.
1t is known that the Democrats who
are on the congressional committee
which spent last winter and spring in
investigating the charges against Sec
rotary Ballinger, growing out of the
Ballinger-Pinchot trouble think that
some of the charges were sustained
head of the Interior Department. 1t
has been understood, also, that the fill
ing Of the minority report of the COM
mittee in Congress would be followed
by the presentation of a resolution of
| censure, which many Democrats would
support.
The Democrats on the committee of
investigation are expected to hold a
conference tomorrow afternoon, and it
is believed their future course will
then be determined. Their views be-
came public at the time of the COM
mittees meeting in Minneapolis last
September.
Together with the insurgent men,
bers of the committee they were in the
majority at those sessions. Their at
tempts to have their report adopted as
the report of the committee and the
withdrawal of Republican members to
break quorum are we'll known.
The Republican members of the
committee, who form it's majority out
side of the insurgents, held a meeting
in the office of Senator Nelson, the
! chairman, yesterday afternoon. and
held another today. The report which
they will favor was generally discuss
ed. 1t is known on excellent authority
that their report will be favorable to
Secretary Ballinger.
But the Republicans are alarmed
over the report that a resolution of
impeachment is to be introduced by a
Democrat in the House. One of them
pointed out this morning that the De-
mocrats and insurgents of the House
have demonstrated their ability to con-
troll it, and that, inasmuch as the De-
mocratic and insurgent reports of
members of the investigating commit
tee will be unfavorable to the Secre-
tary of the Interior, there is a posi-
bility that a resolution of impeach-
ment might pass the House.
The report of the majority of the
committee will, 1t is understood, de-
clare that the Secretary was guilty Of
no improper acts in his administration
of the Cunningham coal claims. But,
inasmuch as the insurgent and Demo-
cratic members OF the committee do
not agree with that finding, the major
| ity report may be overturned in the
House and minority report unfavor-
able to the Secretary adopted.

inches less normal draft than the Mis-
sissippi, so it is length rather than
draft that governs in such a matter.
Greater length, it is feared, might
make turning at the upper end of the
cruise just little more perilous than
absolutely necessary, although it is a
certainty that any of the old pilots
could take the longest ship in the navy
and turn her in the river at or near
Natchez.

Will be common knowledge that the
company has decided to build the first
large liner propelled by oil fuel.
This ship will be $50 feet long and
have a greater beam and tonnage
than the Olympic. Two famous
firms have been invited to tender
bids, Swan, Hunter & Richardson of
Newcastle, and the Joseph Brown
company of Clyde Bank, who have
built many famous Atlantic liners. 1t
now only remains to see which of
these two firms will secure the con-

The Cunard company has on inten-
ton of building an ocean greyhound
in fact, the vessel will be slower than
the Mauretania, but will be far more
roomy and luxurious.
1t Is calculated that with increased
space for cargo, and greater duration
in the stokehole staff, there will be
saving of s1,000,000 per annum.
1t is known, too, that the Hamburg
American Line has placed a con-
tract with a German yard for a liner
that will easily eclipse the Olympic
in size and speed. Although here,
too, great secrecy is maintained, it
is stated by those who ought to know
that the new German vessel, also,
will be oil-propelled. The German
company is making desperate efforts
to get her completed before the Cum
arders can launch their great expert
ment.
