A matter of great Importance to

Mr.. and Mrs. Flashpoler left Ger

facility with which the German people
mobilize and prepare for war. Mr..

year old at from $50 to 500 head.
This is in Kinds County, where they
are free from ticks.
Mr.. Nielsen is a graduate of the
Danish Royal Agricultural College,
and understands the subject very
thoroughly. His talk was practical
and convincing, and with the excel
lent plea made, by Representative
Heint~ convinced the members of the
police jury that it would be a great
advantage to the parish to have Dip
ping vats put in, and the jury SO or

Of that body.

ed that the elimination of the tick
had been Practically accomplished In
other sections by the use Of these
dipping watts, and that these sections
had been relieved of the structures
of quarantine regulations, resulting
in the raising and breeding of cattle
that brought a much higher price In
the market, both as dairy and beef
stock. It was shown that cattle
from Mississippi, Georgia, Louisiana,
Alabama and Florida. in the tick in
tested districts, were put In the quar-
e,ntine pens in the stock yards and
brought 1915 per hundred against

for cows; $3.50 against $11.0O, for
calves and yearlings. Besides this,
the shippers have the expense Of the
dipping that is required by law be-
fore they are penned. The great
preference and higher price obtained
for Northern and Western cattle was
shown to be due to the superiority of
we'll bred stock over the common va
riety, and it was well illustrated that
it was an fmpossibility to raise the
best breeds Of stock IT they became in
