WHERE TICKS THRIVE
Insects Live on Vegetation OF
Thickets Indefinitely.
Examination Of Grove Of Live Oaks
Where Animals Had Not Been for
Six Months DiscIoses Many Of
Active Little Pests.

1t has long been an accepted theory
lmong cattlemen that cattle ticks
Gould not live in enclosures from
which all animals are excluded for 9
,ong time.
This theory il disputed in a pos
tive way by Q writer in the Breeders
Gazette, who made a series Of ex-
,eriments In the tick-infested portions
If the south.
He found a thicket of live oaks that
% his positive knowledge had not
seen open to animals of any kind
,or more than six months that was
alive with young and extremely active
ticks.
He also discovered that when his
sattle were turned into q meadow that
had been unused by all live stock
Tor over year excessive infestation
followed
Returned to the pasture that had
been unused by all live stock for over
year. excessive infestation followed.
Extended investigation on the sub
Iect showed that the stockmen in the
lick country have q theory that the
tick before attaching to the host and
getting the first taste of blood may
live on the vegetation Of the thickets
Indefinitely.
Some even aver, that, like other
cold-blooded life. they may. barring
accident. live for years. Before at
taching to some animal there are two
things the embryo tick cannot stand:
these are water and frost.
Out on the prairie the tick can find
but little protection from either the
rains of the summer or the frosts OF
the winter.
Another fact found, was that the
ticks are really young ticks Matched
from eggs dropped by birds which
have eaten the female tick when just
ready to deposit her eggs.
II seeds and flsh eggs may occa-
sionally retain their vitality after
passing through birds. why not tick
eggs?
Another thing this Investigator says,
sulphur. to which the southern stock
man pins his faith, has not q single
other effect, when fed to cattle. ex-
cept to purify the blood of the steer
and make better food for the tick to
thrive on.

One of the most encouraging lines
Of work which the q. 8. Department
of Agriculture is carrying on in the
south Is the Institution of herd rec
ords on dairy farms. BY this means
the Improbable COW is detected and
can be disposed of for slaughter. The
heifer calves from the profitable cows
are raised to take the place of the
improbable animals. In this way the
quality of the herd Is steadily i'm
proved. The daily weighing of the
milk and the testing for butterfat en-
able the dairyman to feed the individ-
ual animals according to the produc-
ton and to select such feeds for the
ration as are shown to give the best
results.
The department receives many let
tiers from dairymen of the south bear
ing on the value of this work. Mr..
]. X. Morrison. dairyman of Gren-
ada, Mississippi. writes under date Of
March 29th as follows:
Il write to express my great appre-
citation of the work done for me by
your department.
From the records kept found two
cows that produced over 5000 profit.

Again they were silent, all their
energies being absorbed by the physi-

road danced before their burning
eyes, 1t seemed to be uncoiiing itself
