 FIGHTING TICKS

Huntsville, May 14.-(Special.) )-Thrty dipping vats are in operation in various portions of Madison county for the elim ination of the Texas cattle tick and more than 10000 cattle are being dipped every month. The tick eradication work un- der Dr. J. P. Bushong of the bureau of animal industry at Washington Is go- ing on rapidly and the finish is in sight Each animal is dipped once each two weeks until there have been about ten or twelve dips and in the meantime the ticks have been killed out in the infested district. Farmers and cattle raisers gen. erally have become very much interest ed in the work and the inspectors are no longer handicapped by opposition.
