BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS.

Bovine tuberculosis is costing the
United States millions of dollars yearly,
not through the actual death of tuber-
cu1ar animals but by the tubercular ami
mails injecting the healthy ones, thereby
reducing their actual va1ue.
IF ali the tubercu1ar cattle in the
United States were slaughtered at once,
the balance of the cattle would be worth
more than the tubercular and healthy ami
mails together.
It is every mans duty in justice to
himself, to determine positively that
his herd is free from tuberculosis Wip-
ing tuberculosis out of the cattle of this
country is too large problem for
handful of people to undertake and for
this reason contend that we will never
wipe tuberculosis out of the cattle of Our
country until the live stock owners are
given the proper information, both con-
corning the nature of bovine tuberculosis
and the tubercu1in test When this in
formation reaches the live stock owner,
I am sure that he will be more anxious
to wipe tuberculosis out of his herd than
any one else, owing to the fact that he
is financially interested and he and his
family first Of ali are consumers of the
products of his cattle.
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-06-01

Supposing those who do not believe
that there is such thing as bovine tu-
berculosis or reliable tuberculin test
apply this simple, harmless test to their
herd and if they find that there are
animals in their herd that have reacted
to the test, have such animals placed in
one stable and those that passed the test,
indicating that they are free from tu-
berculosis placed in another stable, keep
ing for their own use the product of the
ones that have reacted and pronounced
tubercular, and putting upon the market
the products of those that have according
to this test passed and found free from
tuberculosis.
Live stock breeders, think this over
carefully and be fair with yourself

* ~ LIVE STOCK * *

tested with ticks is equal to one quart
of milk a day for each cow. This loss
amounts in a year to no less than 275
900 quarts 60 to IS gallons) of milk
for each COW. This means yearly loss
of $2o-$25.
Much the same is true of cows on
the range when nursing calves. The cow
has to feed the ticks. Hence, if the ticks
abstract the equivalent of one quart of
milk day from dairy cattle, doubtless
they reduce in some similar proportion
the milk yield of the range cow, whose
calf must lose that amount, and the calf
likewise suffers a corresponding drain
from its own ticks. How then can we
expect Our cattle in tick-infested sections
to develop as they ought to develop?
Eradication of Ticks.
Of course the best solution of the
problem is the eradication of the ticks,
and this could be accomplished if every
livestock owner would cooperate with
other livestock men, It would of course
follow that cattle from other tick-infest-
ed states would not be allowed to be
shipped into Florida It seems, how
ever, at present that Florida may be
the last state in the Union to thorough
ly eradicate this pest.
Spraying and Dipping.
Perhaps the next best method will be
for each farmer to keep the ticks under
control by constant spraying and dip
ping. There are number of proprietary
dips upon the market which are very
good when properly applied; but the
greatest drawback to the proprietary
dips is their expense. Most of these
preparations cost from $1-$1.5o a gal
lon, and one gallon makes about twenty
gallons of dip; so that the dip costs from
five to eight cents gallon This is con-
siderable expense There are, however,
several good dips Gone of which is
given above), which the farmer himself
can prepare at a much less cost.

SALT YOUR STOCK.

Many farmers who seldom think to
give their stock salt, will raise a big
howl if that necessary article is not
on their own table, but how about their
stock, especially mich cows, who cam
not voice their complaints, but must
suffer in silence? It is a matter of
history that buffa1oes and other wild
stock would travel miles to reach
salt lick or some other place where
salt might be found.
A bulletin has recently been issued by
the Wisconsin Experiment Station re-
porting the result of their tests in re-
gard to the necessity of salt for cows
giving milk. They proved conclusively
that cows must be given salt regularly
or they will lose both flesh and milk.
We quote from the bulletin:
'In every case there was finally reach
ed condition of low vitality in which
a sudden and complete breakdown oc-
Cured from which recovery was rapid
if salt was supplied. This stage was
marked by loss of appetite, a generally
haggard appearance, lusterless eyes, a
rough coat, and very rapid decline in
both live weight and yield of milk.
"The breakdown was most likely to
occur at calving or Immediately after,
when the system was weakened and the
flow of milk large. In general, the cows
giving the largest amount of milk were
the first to show signs of distress. They
all suffered less in the pasture than when
confined to the stable"
It is recommended that at least one
ounce of salt be given daily to mich
COWS, and slight excess of that amount
will not be harmful Exceptionally
heavy mixers require even more than
this. Of course with heifers and year
lings, smaller amount is sufficient, and
they will not show any noticeable effect
even if deprived of it for considerable
length of time. However, it is good
plan to have salt at all times for your
stock and you may be sure they will not
gorge themselves or suffer any bad
effects from over-eating.

IMPORTANCE OF THE HOG.

Mr.. H. C. Dawson, in recently dis
cussing the problems of pork production,
showed very conclusively the great inn
portance of the pig in agriculture. He
stated that "every business, profession,
or vocation in Our country is in some
manner or other dependent upon the
hog, and that is one good, strong reason
why the business of raising hogs should
be enlarged. The hog enters more into
supporting our power than any other

DIP OR SPRAY FOR CATTLE.
BY JOHN M. SCOTT.

Perhaps in no section of Florida are
the cattle free from animal parasites.
Every farmer, whether he owns one ami
NAL or one hundred, ought to be inter-
ested enough to protect his animals from
the injurious effects of these parasites.
We have been using at the Experiment
Station for the past year dip which has
proved quite satisfactory. The formula
was prescribed by DR.. Nelson S. Mayo,
and is as follows:
White arsenic, two-fths pound.
Sodium carbonate (crystals), one and
one-eighth pound
Yellow soap, one and one-eighth pound.
Pine tar, one-half pint.
Dissolve the arsenic by boiling it for
half an hour in one gallon of water. Add
the dissolved arsenic to five gallons of
water. Shave the soap, mix it with the
soda, and dissolve the mixture in one
gallon of water. When dissolved pour
in the tar, pouring in slowly in fine
stream, and stirring meanwhile so as
to get it in solution. Then mix it with
the arsenic solution, and add water to
make twenty-five gallons in ALL
This is to be used as dip, spray or
wash. It loses but little by age. The
solution not oily kills the ticks, but also
kills all other animal parasites with
which it comes in contact. It may be ap-
piled eitheer with brush or sprayer,
or it may be put in a dipping tank
through which the animal is passed.
Injury by Ticks.
One of the worst parasites with which
we have to deal is the cattle tick, which
causes Texas, or sp1enic fever. The loss
among native stock from this disease
is quite heavy; but perhaps most Of
the loss is caused not by the fever, but by
the heavy drain upon the animals system
from the large quantity of blood taken
by the ticks. One tick consumes only
a small quantity but the continued feed
ing of several thousand ticks upon one
animal soon exhausts its constitution and
vitality. This is especially true of young
animals, such as calves from six weeks
to one year old-a period when they
ought to be making their best develop
ment and growth If at this time they
are feeding several thousand ticks, in
stead of growing and developing as
they should they will actually become
smaller The young animal once stunt
ed in growth will never develop as it
would have done, if it had received
proper care and treatment from the first.
Besides suffering this loss of blood,
tick-infested cattle suffer continuously
from irritation and injury of the skin.
The tick when attaching itself to the
animals body punctures the skin. The
puncture is soon surrounded by an
area of intense inflammation, which re-
suits in the formation of readily visible
scabs.
Loss of Milk.
The injury to the livestock owner by
the ticks is not confined to the loss of
blood, and the irritation of the skin
caused to his cattle. It has been esti-
mated that the loss to the dairyman

The value of the school properties
is $1,000,000. In their first year they
received from the state $4,400 each,
which was increased to $1,000 and
last year to $4,000. This money came
from funds arising from the inspection
Of oils and fertilizers.
The Legislature also gave them $2,-

chapter in the state shall thus OBJ
serve this anniversary by the universal
tagging of citizens, large and graft
flying amount will be raised for most
worthy purpose.
1t is essential to the success of
Georgia Flag Day that each and every
chapter shall order the flags immedi-
ately, as it requires ten days or more
for the agent to secure them.
