Twenty years ago there were z0.OOO.OOO people in the United States and the stock reports state that there were also zo,ooo,ooo head of cattle in the country. At the present time the population has increased to e6.ooo,OOO. while the total number of cattle is placed at 56,0OO,OOO. At the same ratio of increase and decrease how long will it be before beef will be thing of the past? Not very long, we think. unless the farmers of the South awake to the great opportu- nity offered them in raising cattle.

In few years, too few, considering the cost of the vessel, the Texas" will be relegated to the scrap heap where hundreds of other boats have been sent.

 Other Methods of Eradication.
 In undertaking measures for eradi- eating the tick it is evident that the pest may be attacked in two loca- tions, namely, on the pasture and on the cattle.
 In freeing pactures the method fol- lowed may be either direct or an indirect one. The former consists in excluding all cattle. horses and mules from pastures until all the ticks have sists in permitting the cattle and other animals to continue on the in fested pasture and dipping them at regular intervals in the arsenieal so- lution and thus preventing engorged females from dropping and reinfest- ing the pasture.
