CATTLE DIPPING DEMoNsTRA-
TON

I In company with Mr.. Jack Camp
Mr.. John l.. Edwards and Mr.. ]. H
Whitworth, the editor of this paper
went up to Mr.. Jack Williams farm
near Citra, Saturday afternoon to wit
ness a cattle dipping demonstration.
The dipping is done for the pur
pose of eradicating the cattle tick
which is as destructive in its ravages
and as hard to combat as the white
fly, and Florida suffers loss by the
two together which amounts to an
enormous sum annually
This tick attacks all COWS alike and
is democratic in that it shows no ia
vors either to the fat kind or to the
lean kind. Indeed. the fat, we'll fed
animal seems to have less resisting
power, and is more quickly thrown
into fever from the bite of the tick
and from the effect OF which it rarely
! RECEIVERS.
The dipping is done under the di-
rection of the state board Of health,
and bill is now before the legisia-
ture trying to get the state TO help in
the eradication of this pest, and au-
thoriZe the counties to assist in the
matter also
The dipping watts are constructed
under the direction of the veterinary
division of the state board OF health,
which also furnishes the formula,
1t is recommended that the cattle
be dipped once every two weeks for
twenty eight weeks. In that time the
tick and his progeny will have been
entirely destroyed, and the cattle
will then be immune from ticks, I'M
less they come in contact with other
tick-affected cattle.
The dipping Will also cleanse dogs
of all feas and hogs of all lice. 1t is
a boon to stock owners.
Mr. Williams says that he has lost
one hundred head of cattle within the
year, of which he has correct data,
and perhaps as many more of which
he has no correct information.
Saturday afternoon he dipped
something over eighty head, and the
task was completed in less than an
hour. He also dipped some horses,
mules and dogs for good measure.
Besides those already mentioned
there were quite number of others
present to witness the demonstration.
among whom We noted the following:
Messrs. S H. Gaitskill and W NJ.
Gist, Mcintosh; Messrs. W. J. eros
by and Talmage Dupree Citra; DR.
W. Montgomery and a party Of friends
from Micanopy; Mr. L. K. Edwards
and a party of friends from Irvine:
Mr. w r. Brown, Mr. c. F. Bar
Der, president of the Florida Live
Stock Association, of Macclenny; Mr..
c. L. Willoughby of Gainesville. and
a number of others.

in regular session. Notwithstand-
ing the downpour a quorum was
present. After routine work was
over the election of a County
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion was ordered. Profs. L. J.
Ellis and Aaron Brooks were the
only candidates before the court.
The first roll call resulted in 18
for Brooks and 16 for Ellis. Prof.
Brooks was declared elected. The
salary was reduced to $3.50 by
the Court and that reduces it to
$500. Both the applicants are
worthy young men, and each or
either would make a good Super
intendent. Prof. Brooks was

What a picture Of beauty is pre-
sented to my view as | arise these
mornings and look forth with admiring
gaze over the frost bound earth, gilt
tering as with innumerable diamonds
under the softrays Of the early rising
sun, SO glorious, SO splendid, after the
soft light of early dawn! Our hearts.
filled with incense of praise and deep
gratitude, dwell on the occasion Of
this time of rejoicing by man and
glowing tribute from nature, as though
all are in harmony; all rejoicing over
the birthday Of the Babe born at
Bethlehem two thousand years ago,
as foretold by the great prophets Of
Israel.
Though the face of naturei is barred,
the blight Of winters frostland snow
is over all, though the grass is no
longer green and the fields are brown
with the dried grass and stretches of
broom sedge, agentle quietude reigns
supreme, stirred by Eurmuring
breeze, bringing message Of hope
and joy to those who DO truly UNDER
stand the spirit of the occasion. Oc-
casionally the twitter Of a bird is

Swallowed, not only their own lives,

that the world is growing more akin;

THE LEGISLATURE ORGAN
lied.

The Tennessee legislature met
Monday in regular session and
after the members were sworn in,
proceeded to permanent organi-
zation at once.
The senate promptly elected
Newton II. White, of Giles coun-
ty, speaker Of that branch, and
the lower house on first ballot
elected William Stanton, of Shell
by, to preside over that branch.
The fusionists carried the day
without hitch. The combina-
tin is SO well made and so firmly
established that the regulars will
have nothing to do but sit quiet
ly and see legislation go on
against their wishes. 1t is very
clear that it is all fixed for al the
Offices. The independent demo-
Gratis, regular republicans and
Roosevelt members are a compact
body, and invincible.
1t is almost clear to be seen
that Newell Sanders will be elect
ed Senator until March the 4th,
and prominent independent
democrat for the long term. Pat
terson and Dibrell are tagged for
the junk heap. It is fortunate
for the country that the align
ment means a working body.
Just how it will line up on tenn
perance legislation, when the
Shelby delegation will have to
meet legislation on that question,
is a difficult problem. Those mat
ters are left until reached, and a
different alignment may occur.
From every view now to be TAX
en-, Gov. Hooper has a legislature
to back him in the progressive
steps he asked for in his canvass.
That waste allow him to exchange
Judges from one circuit to anoth-
er, on add a new Criminal Court
in the whiskey cities.

Der those days SO long ago, away
back before you knew very much
about failure and disappointment
before you had brushed up shoulder
to shoulder with the world when
you stood in the glowing wonder of
untried purpose and desire, looking
outward down the great, glowing,
rose-lighted path of the future and
dreamed dreams and planned plans?
Do you remember how full of,ambi-
tion you were in those days. how you
were sure you could do such wonder
full things? 1t is not too late now.
1t is never too late. The whole thing
in a nutshell is work. Why not set
your aim high and GO to work?
Well, | will close with best wishes
to the Independent and its many
readers.
