these species never become so numer-
Gus as the fever ticks, which, when
they once get on their host, remain
there until fully developed-that is.
they do not go from one animal to
another.
After the fever ticks shed their
skin the first time they remain on
another eight or ten days, when they
shed their skin a second time, but af-
ter this they increase rapidly in size
and drop off in about four weeks
from the time they got on the COW.
In cold weather they remain on
the animal much longer, sometimes
as long as sixty days, but usually
notl onger than forty days.
We now have a statement Of the
habits and life history of the tick,
and careful study of it will enable
any one to devise the best method
for its eradication. For this pur-
pose we may re-state the weak points
at which an effective attack may be
made for the eradication OF the ticks
from pasture:
UD The fever tick gets on prac-
tically no other animal except the
COW, horse. and mule.
CD 1t does not go from one ami
NAL TO another, but remains on it's
host until fully developed.
ca The old ticks can not crawl
far. and the young ones do not do
so because 1t suits their object in
life better to crawl up on the grass
and twigs and wait for a suitable
animal TO come along and pick them
up. That is. neither the old nor the
young ticks move about much except
on cattle. horses. and mules.
(4) II cattle. horses. or mules do
not come along and pick them up
they are certain to die in from four
To eight months, according to sea-
son OF the year.
II is apparent that a parasite as
helpless as this falls an easy victim
to the intelligence OF man. II man
will only use the intelligence he is
blessed with.
Next week we will begin discus
sion OF the various methods employ
ed to destroy the ticks, which will
now be easily understood since we
know the weak points In the life of
the ticks at which they may be at
tackled.

methods for it's eradication. In this
article we wish to consider this sub
ject little further.
When the female tick becomes en-
gorged with blood, that Is. attains
her full size. she drops off the COW
to the ground. She is a comparative
ly helpless creature. Her eight tiny
legs are not able to carry her heavy
body over obstacles of much size. If
she dropped on smooth. hard sur
face she might crawl n long distance.
but II she drops In the pasture, or
any place where there Is grass, lit
ter or trash on the ground. she will
crawl under this material and begin
her work of egg laying. She will
not cross roadway. n ditch, or a
fence with rail or board on the
ground and Is generally found with
in foot or so of the place at which
she drops from the cow. In sum-
mer-time. under favorable condi-
tons. she will begin laying eggs in
from "a to as hours after dropping
to the ground. In cold weather. or
other unfayorable conditions, the
starting of egg-laying may be de-
layed somewhat longer. In ten days
to two weeks after dropping TO the
ground she will usually lay from
1900 TO 1900 eggs. Under favor
able conditions and sufficient warmth
these eggs will hatch In from 16 TO
90 days. II the weather be cool the
Matching will be delayed, and II suf-
ficicntly cold, such as may occur In
winter. the Matching will be prevent
ed entirely. but the eggs will hatch
out in the spring, or whenever warm
weather occurs.
When the young ticks leave the
shells they are small, active. six
legged creatures about the size OF
the period at the end OF this SEN
tence. These are what are called
seed ticks tThe young OF any spe-
cies OF ticks are seed ticks. and grow
TO large ticks when they get on to n
suitable animal.l The object which
these seed ticks have in life is TO get
on COW, horse. or mule. for this Is
necessary TO their life or growth and
development. They could travel long
distances. but their chances OF get
ting ON covSf horse. or mule are
increased by Crawling up to the top
OF grass. weeds or twigs and there
waiting until suitable animal comes
along. They wait In lunches or
masses on the grass, or other plants

and by attaching themselves and
sucking the blood OF their host, be-
gin their growth and development.
IT no horse. mule. or COW comes
along and picks up these young ticks
they will die OF starvation. They
do not get on other animals, but
wait for cattle. horses, or mules, and
IL these do not come along. they
surely die. In summer they do not
live more than two or three months
without food; that is, without get
ting on TO suitable animal. In
winter or cool weather they will live
much longer; In some cases as much
as six or eight months.
