From Cattle Tick.

Little Notwithstanding to A. E.
White, government representative OF
the tick eradication station for Ark
ansas and Louisiana. acting in con-
junction with state and county au-
thorities, approximately l 800 head of
cattle were treated and freed from this
pest in Arkansas during July This
is regarded as an excellent showing,
considering the present stage of de
velopment of this work in Arkansas.
The government estimates that the an
nual loss to the South from this pest
is $4,000, 600, of which 100000 is in
Arkansas.
The most successful way of Kidding
cattle of this evil, especially in this
section of the country, is by driving
them through vat filled with water
which contains a solution Of arsenic
deadly poison to the ticks. The cost
Of the watts averages around $40. The
following counties in Arkansas have
been released from quarantine: Ben
ton. Carroll. Madison, Washington,
