USE OF DIPPING VAT
Efficient and Practical Agency in

press Approval of Method of APP
propriating Money for Build
ing of Tanks.

(By DIR. ]. A HERMAN, Nashville.
Temp
The dipping vat as an efficient and
practical agency in Graduating cattle
ticks is gaining rapidly in popularity
among all classes of stock owners.
This growing approval is being ade-
quately expressed through the Boards
of Supervisors in number of coun.
ties in Mississippi by appropriating
sufficient amount of money to buy ma
terial for the construction of COM
munity dipping, watts at convenient
points in these counties, available for
all the cattle in the respective commu-
mites and for the purchase of material
with which to I'LL these watts. With
such convenient assistance provided
there are extremely few cattle own
ers who are so indifferent as not to
become actively interested in Grad
icating fever ticks from their premises,
which result is easily accomplished by
regularly dipping all cattle every two
weeks for the space of few months.
This action on the part of the Board
of Supervisors is beyond doubt truly
economical and far-sighted and in all
instances noted has been so consid-
cred by citizens of counties in which
this action has been taken for it makes
certain the complete eradication of the
fever tick in much shorter time than
would otherwise be consumed and by
so doing makes possible the elimina-
ton of quarantine restrictions at a
correspondingly early date and not
only are the ultimate results thereby
fastened but unnecessary dissension
during the progress of the work by
this method is largely eliminated as
we'll as the useless discussion as to
the probable results. for no well in

brightest prospect for growth in his
business and for an increase in values
that have prevailed in many, many
many years.
Every aspect of the business now
presents the same view-that the
business of producing beef cattle will
be the most profitable of any sort of
agricultural or live stock activity.
That there is scarcity of beef ami
mails is no longer denied in any quar-
ter and that the scarcity is but be-
ginning to be felt in the market is
the belief of men familiar with the
situation. Here are three items TAX

years Oklahoma's supply of cattle has
decreased from 70 per cent of the
states total live stock valuation to
2S.4 per cent. South Dakota decreas-
ed from So per cent to 2S.5 per cent.
Colorado decreased from II per cent
to A per cent. The figures from all
the western states show the same
general trend in the number and val
uation of their cattle.

Insurance and Hymen.

Grasse, German authority on race
biology and life insurance, in recent
number of the Journal for Life In
surance Examiners, is of the opinion
that life insurance may be made to
play an important part in the proven
ton of the union in marriage of sick
ly or otherwise unsuitable individu-
ais. He holds that the public should
be educated to expect that every
prospective bridegroom and bride be
insured before marriage; if insurance
were denied to either one it should
be necessary to prove to the parents
Oh the bride or bridegroom, as the
case might be, that the grounds for
the refusal Of insurance were not
equally strong grounds against enter
ing into the married state. Grasse
says IT this custom should become
universal life insurance would become
great factor in the preservation of
the strength and health of the race.
Evidently Germany is doing some good
thinking in other lines than in merely
developing the commerce of the ma
ton. and has a most practical way
c. presenting the case in insurance as
Veil as in other lines. "The proper
study OF mankind is man."

sections OF the middle western states
come reports by the dozens OF pur-
chases of breeding cattle by men who
were forced to reduce their herds a
few years ago. These men realize
the seriousness of the situation and
are increasing their herds now as
rapidly as possible in order that they
may be able to supply the cattle for
the eager beef-eaters who are bound
to pay higher prices in very few
months.
The restocking of the range coun-
try means a big upturn in the price
Of stock cattle, but it is not the only
factor in the price revival that will
