IMPORTANCE OF ERADICATING
INJURIOUS CATTLE TICK
Southern States Need More emo
Larger Dairy Industry-Objeets be Promoted
by Destroying Pest.

The eradication of the cattle tick
from the southern states is a problem
Of prime Importance to the agricul-
tural interests of that section. More
over, the good that would result from
the elimination Of the tick would not
be entirely confined to the region d.
rectly concerned, and thus the matter
assumes TO a certain degree a national
Importance
The south needs more and better
live stock and larger dairy industry,
and these objects would be greatly
promoted by the destruction of the
tick. The increased production of live
stock by reason Of its important bear
ing in maintaining and improving the
fertility of the soil, would be of dis
ttnct benefit in increasing the yield Of
field crops. An incidental though i'm
portant advantage of stock raising and
dairying would be found in the distri-
button Of the farmers income through
out the year, enabling him to live on
a cash basis. It can thus be seen that
the benefits which would accrue to
southern agriculture from the EXTERN
ination Of the cattle tick would be
very great and far-reaching
There are several species Of cattle
ticks, but the chief one Is commonly
called the cattle" or Texas fever"
tick. 1t is the one most frequently
found on cattle and is much more
abundant than the other species.
When the losses occasioned by this
parasite are once thoroughly under
stood by farmers and stockmen there
will be little need for arguments in
favor of tick eradication. Some of the
losses are not directly noticeable and
consequently make little impression,
while other losses properly charge
able to the tick are frequently attrib
uted to other causes.
Various writer's have estimated the
annual loss due to the tick at from
$40,000,00 to 500, 100000 These fig
ures should be ample argument, even
to the most comprehensive, for the
eradication of the pest.
In getting rid Of the tick, it may be
attacked on the pasture and on the
cattle
In freeing pastures the method fol
lowed may be either a direct or an
indirect one
The former consists in excluding all
cattle, horses and mules from pas
lures until all the ticks have died from

MEXICAN STYLE
OF FARMING
Most Primitive Methods of ASr2
culture Are Stall Carried on
in Many Parts OF the
Old Republic.

By vICE-CONSUL r. NJ. STADDEN.'
The most primitive method o.
farming is still carried on in many
parts of Mexico. The blowing is done
by the old-time bull tongue, which
is a crooked stick with the point GOV
cred with an iron shoe, which only
scratches the soil.
Corn is planted by hand, man fol
lowing the pillow, dropping the seed
and covering it with his foot. 1t Is
cultivated with the same pillow, which
gives very poor results in destroying
the weeds. The fodder is gathered
by pulling the leaves or blades from
the stock, which are made into bun
dies and carried from the fields by
pack mules.
Rice is planted, after the native
pillow has scratched over the land, by
being thrown broadcast, and covered
by hauling a bunch Of brush over the
land. When the rice is about one
foot or Is inches high it is cut down
with grass hooks; not even scythe
is used Tor CnlS WOrh. MS cutting
back is said to make the rice grow
more bunchy and enables the rice
plant to get the best of the weeds,
whereas, if the land had been proper
ly plowed before planting, there
would be no weeds and this cutting
back would not be necessary. Some
eight or ten days before cutting or
harvesting time the water is shut off
from the rice fields to allow the rice
to ripen, when it is cut with the same
grass hooks. 1t is then piled up for
three days, when it is threshed by be,
ing hand beaten on a rock, by which
process five to ten per cent. of the
grain remains on the straw During
the eight or ten days the field is dry
ing out a loss of about 40 per cent. OF
grain occurs from various causes.
This style of farming, without
farm implements, could be continued
through the long list of crops that are
raised in that country.

venient and practical way of treating
cattle on the majority of farms. A
good style of pail spray pump will be
sufficient for treating small herds.
About Is feet of 3-3 inch high-pressure
hose is required and type of nozzle
furnishing a cone-shaped spray will
be found satisfactory. A nozzle with
two small an aperture should not be
used
Every portion of the body should be
thoroughly treated, special attention
being given to the head, dewlap,
brisket, inside of elbows, thighs and
TANKS, the tail and the depressions at
the base of the tail Crude oil alone
may be used, but in general 20 to %
per cent emulsion will be better.
All the cattle should be sprayed
every two weeks and the treatment
should not be discontinued simply be-
cause the ticks have become scarce or
seem to have disappeared.
In localities where ticks commonly
occur on cattle in considerable num-
advisable to continue spraying. In To-
calities where ticks disappear or are
present in very small numbers during
the winter, the cattle should be in
spected carefully each week TO remove
and destroy any ticks that may be
present. When warm weather comes,
it will be we'll in all cases in which
spraying has been discontinued dur
ing the winter to begin spraying and
continue until it can be determined
with certainty that eradication has
been accomplished. The spraying
should not be delayed until ticks show
again in considerable numbers. One
tick destroyed in the early spring will
save the trouble of destroying thou
sands a few months later.

Lumber Manufacturers to Advertis

Advertising by permanent dis
plays" in the principal cities of the
middle west is being planned by the
Pacific Coast Lumber Manufacturers
association for this winter. BY per-
manent displays is meant decorative
examples of interiors finished in fir
and spruce installed in semi-public
buildings in cities like Chicago, st.
Louis. Kansas City, Omaha and Den
YER. The Pacific Coast association,
in conjunction with the Southern
Lumber Dealers association, installed
a few years ago a small but attractive
exhibit. showing fir-fnished interiors,
in Minneapolis. The cost was $4,000.
AS a result of this Secretary Beck
man of the Pacific association SAID
recently that 10000 homes and bust
ness buildings in the middle west
have been finished in fir, which was
token from the Pacific northwest mills
exclusively.

TALLMANS ELECTION BILL

Following is the title of bill
introduced by Senator Tallman of
Nye county:
An act to limit expenditures for
campaign and election purposes TO
Candidates, their political agents,
and managing committees of
political parties; to prescribe the
manner of appointment of such
agents; to limit the contributions,
expenditures and liabilities of
andidates, political agents and
managing committees of political
parties; to define prevent and
punish corrupt and illegal practices
in nominations in primary elections
and general elections; to secur. and
protect the purity of the ballot; to
prevent and punish The maxim
publication AID circulation of false
charges and statements against
candidates and to provide 10,
furnishing information to electors.
The bill contains So sections and
is said to he the work Of Hon. Key
Pittman, democratic candidate for
United States Senator at the last
election.
The Sparks Tribune in speal ing
of this bill says:
The legislators that are now in
session in the capital city seem to
have a remarkably well developed
penchant to watch out for the morals
of the electors of the State around
election time. Alreadythere have
been several bills introduced aimed
to assist the poor voter in keeping
himself pure and clean at the time
that the candidates for office are
trying to corrupt him. The asst
one that has seen the light of day
is long one by THl!man and covers
about everything in the line Of
purity that could be tho ught Of.
We think that by the time this lonl,
bill from the long senator gets to
the Governor to have his signature
affixed, it will probably be I'M
recognizable.

Although no more gold will be
coined for about three years there
will be plenty on hand in the

sPECTER SHIPS
The coast of New Englsnd ha

The coast of New Englsnd has
numerous legends concerning
specter ships firmly believed by
the rugged fishermen who assert
stoutiy that on various occasions
giimpses of the shadowy craft have
been seen, followed invariably by
fatal disaster. The specter of the
Palentine is occasionally seen on
Long Island sound and is the
forerunner of gale of wind. She
was a Dutch trading vessel and
was wrecked off Block island in
1852. The wreckers. it is said
made short work of her. stripping
her fore and aft and setting fire
to the hull.
AS she drifted blazing off the
coast a human form was visible amid
the flames, the form was of a
female passenger left to perish on
the doomed. craft Since and
generally upon the anniversary of
the wreck phantom ship with
blazing hull, charred spars and
scorched sails and rigging has been
cruising off Block island.

her. But the master, bluff and
stern sailor, refused to listen and
finally departed on Friday.

destination and was never spoken
