of blood distracted from cows, and
containing nutriment that should go
to the formation of milk, flesh and the
LAYING on of fat. The bites of these
ticks are often followed by infamma-
ton with pus-producing organisms
causing small assesses which may
terminate in ulcers. These sores are
often found to be the Matching place
OF fly eggs, which give rise to infes-
tation with destructive maggots.
Losses to Market and Dairy Cattle.
A comparison of the actual money
value of cattle with ticks and cattle
without ticks is interesting. 1t is
well known that animals coming from
an infested district and sold in the
southern tick quarantine pens of
northern stock yards bring an average
of one-fourth to one-half cent less
uer pound than the quoted market
nrice. The handicap to the southern
cattle seller. therefore. is about $1.5O
ner head, allowing an individual
weight of 600 pounds for all classes OF
animals. The cattle tick also keeps
down the value of cattle which are
left at home on the farm in the In
tested country. This loss. however,
does not include the decrease in flesh
and lack or development OF southern
cattle caused by the ticks.
II was estimated by government
enacialists that In dairy cattle har-
hor,ng light infestation of ticks the
milk fiow Is reduced about Is per cent.

Passes Away With Indians
March Toward Progress.
Relics OF Red Mans Former History
Disappear as He Adopts the Archi-
lecture OF the White Man--Ex-
ampIes Of Patience.

Chickasha, Okla.-The grass houses
in which the Wichita Indians lived
were. until few years ago, one OF
the most common sights OF the res
eryation in Caddo county. 18 miles
west of this city, but they are being
rapidly displaced by the white man )
house. At the present time there are
only four left in the entire reserVa-
ton.
These grass houses represent IN
dian ingenuity, patience and skill per-
haps more than any other relic re-
naming of their wild life on the pral-
RE. They were built by the squaWs
and took months of preparation before
they were ready for occupancy, but
when finished offered the Indian war
rior a secure retreat against all kinds
of weather.
The squaws commenced their work
early in spring by selecting num-
Der of tall young trees that would
serve as poles. Usually elm or Pc
can trees were chosen. They were
stripped of bark, sharpened at one
end and laid in the sun to season
during the summer and fall. The
bark was torn into strips and put to
dry.
When this was done the squaWs
work was finished for time. When
fall came they would go along the
swamps and rivers where the grass
grows tall, strong and wiry, ana
would collect bundle after bundle OF
this grass just as it began to dry.
After the grass was all collected
it was made into bundles, all OF the
same size, and all packed as solid as
wood, so as to resist the rains and
SHOWS of winter. Then the squaws
were ready to begin the actual build
ing Of the home.
The first step was for the Indian
brave to decide just where he wished
his new home to stand. When this
was decided on, the squaws drew
large ring just the size that the new
house would be when completed, and
in this ring they set the poles, three
feet apart.
The poles were all brought together
at the top in the center of the house
and securely dashed together with
strips of bark. Outside Of this frame
was covered with network OF bark
strips to hold the poles secure in their
places and to form foundation upon
which to fasten the grass.
Then the tedious work began. The
bundles OF grass were fastened to
these strips SO close together that It
was impossible for any rain to pass
through and the Indian might feel
himself safe from any storm.
The last stage OF the house was
the hanging of the door. It was made
in the same way as the rest of the
house, and was In q separate piece
hung from the top Of a hole cut for
doorway.
A hole was also cut in the south
side of the house to carry OFF the
smoke from the fireplace, which con-
sisted of a deep hole dug in the ex-
act center of the house. When this
was all done the house was COM
pleted.
With plenty of help from sister
souaws the mistress OF the house was
able to finish her home within three
weeks after the work OF putting It
together actually began.

BRING BACK THE BIRDS.
Feathered Creatures Necessity to
Prosperity of Land.

Why cannot American farmers,
economists and nature-lovers make
1915 a banner year for birds?
We ought to preserve the birds
for their own sake. for their beauty,
their song, their vivid life that adds
so vastly to the attractiveness of
field and grove. But if not for these
sentimental reasons-which are the
sanest of all-then let us foster bird
life because it is necessary to the
prosperity of the land, because it
will yield the biggest kinds of re-
turns in cash.
Birds are the great natural de-
stroyers of noxious insects.
The stomach of yellow-billed cue
koo shot at o'clock in the morning
contained partly digested remains of
forty-three caterpillars. Heavenluu
forty-three tent caterpillars. Heaven
only knows how many more the bird
would have eaten before night.
The stomachs Of four chickadees
contained 1923 eggs of the canker
worm.
The stomach of a single robin ex-
amined at the State laboratories of
Illinois contained 175 larvae which
prey on grass roots.
Brookline, Mass, after fighting
vainly with sprays the insects which
were destroying it's shade trees, sent
out a Macedonian cry for the birds,
put out food for them in winter,
nests in summer. punished any one
who shot or frightened them. The
birds came back, and the moths and
bugs went out. Last year the town
was free from tree-destroying pests,
while outside, in the shotgun areas,
the finest old groves were being
stripped and ruined.
1t would pay every community in
Illinois to follow the example Of
Brookline. Bring back the birds and
protect them when they come.
