London's Champion TiMekeeper

Women are sometimes accNs>.d of not
being on time. so 1t may be Surprising
to some persons to learn that Ho1don's
champion timekeeper is a woman. Miss
Anita Bellevile has an office unlike any
the world. She acts as purveyor of the
correct time in London, says the New
York Post.
With her chronometer which is one Of
the most perfect in the world and tri'
umph of the watchmakers skill, she calls
at the Greenwich observatory once a week
and checks her instrument by the official
time, then carries it around to her cli-
ents great many of her clients are
watehmakers. who find her chronometer
able to make finer distinctions than any
other instrument known. Miss Beleville
is found to be much more exact than the
electric clocks that set from a cen-
trail station. When tested few days ago
at the observatory, her chronometer was
found to have varied only one-tenth OF o
second during whole weeks time.
This instrument has been carried all
over London, but is apparently little at
fected by travelling on train. bus. and
electric tram, for it has never deviated
more than 80 seconds from Greenwiat1
time in a week.
Miss Belleville has inherited her unique
occupation Her father, Henry Belleville.
got permission from the astronomer royal
about half a century ago to take the cor
rect time from the observatory where he,
was employed by chronometer makers.
After his death his wife carried on the
business and now his daughter is keep
ing up the work by bringing the time to
watchmakers all over London.

the development of the cattle industry.
including the breeding, selection and feed
ing of them 1t is not necessary to own
a pure bred herd in order to have a high
class, profitable type of cattle A pure
bred bull, when crossed on native cows
or native scrub cows. will produce a calf
that will be worth more than twice as
much as the mother. A good bull crossed
on $40 or $25 scrub COW of any variety
will produce a calf at a year old which
will sell for $40 or $50. if it is taken proper
care of. Thus the foundation for good
family of any type is established 1t
would be a mistake for the farmers of
any county to think it would be neces-
sary for them to get rid of their native
cattle in order to produce better ones
Their native cows are what is needed for
the foundation stock If such farmers
will get rid of their scrub bulls and uss

judiciously, 1t goes without saving IT will
be but few years until such farmers
will have increased the value of their
cattle 100 per cent.
All the states bordering on Alabama
have succeeded in cleaning a large num-
ber of counties of ticks. Tennessee. in
1906 had 81 counties quarantined and by
systematic work has succeeded in exter-
minating the tick from every county and
farm in the state. The regulations of the
state of Tennessee now prohibit the move
ment of cattle from Alabama or anv
other quarantined state into 1t, even for
immediate slaughter, because, being IA

In eradicating ticks from about half of
the area of the state and the work at the
present time is in progress in 20 per cent
of the counties. 1t is confidently believed
that within the next three years the en-
tire state of Mississippi will have been
released from federal quarantine.

ing the tick from about 10 counties au4

the life history of the tick, and knowing
its weaknesses, it was easy to devise
ways to destroy it either on the animal
or exterminate it from the pasture, field
or range
This particular tick has been found
only upon cattle, horses, mules and in u
few rare instances on sheep. 1t does not
ma suitable host in the dog, bird, rab-
bit, raccoon, or other an;mals If it does
not reach one of its hosts it dies for want
of nutritive support 1t thrives only on
the body of the above mentioned ami
mails. In this respect it differs from the
common dog tick, wood tick. or the
several other varieties indigenous to the
south. Many of these live for a period
on dog, fall off, get on a horse. fall Off
and may be get on three or four hosts be-
fore reaching maturity, but the Texas
fever cattle tick must develop on a cow
horse or mule, or it pershes.
Life History of the Tick
The life history in brief is as follows
The mature female tick having engorged
itself with the blood from host drops
to the ground seeks shelter under leaves
or dead branches of trees and remains
quiet for several hours. If not molested
1t commences the deposting, of eggs. A
fully engorged tick is capable of laying
as many as $500 eggs. If it is July when
the tick falls to the ground the weather
being warm the eggs will hatch out in
about three weeks and the percentage of
eggs that do hatch is almost 100. If a
mature tick falls to the ground in Oc-
tober or November the eggs do not hatch
until the following spring usually. OF
course. in warm weather some of the
eggs may hatch the same year; If they
do the small seed ticks are capable of
living until the following spring. If per-
chance it is a cold winter and the tenn
perature falls to 4 degrees Fahrenheit or
less, the eggs and the small ticks which
are exposed to that low degree of temper
ature. are killed During the warm days
Of early spring the small ticks crawl
upon spears of grass ready to attach
themselves to a passing COW or horse. If
cattle and horses are kept out of the pas =
ture until September 1, those ticks which
hatch in the spring will have died by that
time for want of a host. This is one
means of exterminatng them-the starva-
tion method.
Dipping in Chemical Solution
The modern and the one most univer-
sally used. is by dipping the tick infested
cattle in arsenical solution contained in
the custom is followed of dipping all the
county regularly every two weeks in ar
senical solution. The arsenic destroys
the ticks on COW, prevents the propa ga
process of permitting all the ticks on the
ground to get the cattle and then de-
stroying them in the vat.
AS soon as it was found that ticks might
be eradcated the United States depart
