Ticks Suck 200 Pounds Of Blood from a
Steer.


clicks take as much as 200 pounds of
blood year from a l,000-pound steer /;
cut the milk production of cows nearly
so per cent; reduce the home price of
meat animals from u to | cent a pound !;
prevent bankers from lending money
to promote the livestock industry; keep
down fertility and production of farms; ;
and make the southern farmers pay fifty
million dollars year to supply the new
er-ceasing barbecue of blood" writes a
contributor in the current issue OF Farm
and Fireside, the national farm paper
published in Springfield, Ohio.
How the government is fighting the
tick is shown by this extract:
"Dip the tick is the slogan which
the department of agriculture has adopt
ed for a special campaign against the
cattle tick of the South. Blazoned in
big letters this legend win stand out
in startling relief upon a two-eolored
poster which the department proposes
to display in every postoiIice in the tick
country.

that county from quarantine, Mr.. Vroo-
man, assistant secretary of agriculture
Of the United States, said, and enable
its cattle TO compete with free cattle
at the stoekyards. But before the ticks
in that county, by themselves or with
the aid of the state, must build dipping
watts which cost from $50 10 500 each,
and must supply arsenic, which costs |
about five cents per head, TO make the
lrsenical bath that kills the ticks. The /
people must then join in seeing that ev-
Try steer or COW is dipped a sufficient |
lumber of times TO kill all the ticks in.
esting the cattle, and prevent the seed
icks in the grass from finding a new
,oarding house.
""The department win cooperate by
ending its expert field men 20 supervise
he building OF watts, 10 prepare the ar
enical bath and TO take charge Of the
Tipping Of cattle. The people of a
ounty and state, however, have TO pro.

nearly all ancient nations employed
great numbers OF pots. Jars and other
vessels specially constructed to contain
perfumes, and this fashion was revived
in Italy. France, spain and elsewhere
during later centuries
Accompanying this article will DO seen
photographs OF some OF the pots used
for cosmetics. The intensity OF the Arabs
love of perfumes Is strikingly Indicated
by the statement In the Koran that some
of the houris OF the Mohammodan para
disc are composed of pure musk.
The Empress Josephine seems to have
caught the Arab love of musk, Tor, as
is well known. she used musk so liber-
ally that Napoleon strove, in vain. 10
persuade her TO give II up. It Is said
that yet today. In her favorite chateau
of Malmaison, the smell of musk remains
in spite OF all the Bcrapings, washings
and PAINTINGS TO which her rooms have
been subjected during the last century
she died at Malmaison in 1914
The ancients invented various oombina-
tions OF perfumes, derived from flowers.
with gums and oils. which served to per-
petuate the odors. Roses have Away
been among the most favored OF odonf-
erous flowers and. today, immense fields
OF roses are grown In southern France
and in Bulgaria, from which the precious
otto, or altar. OF roses Is obtained. But

He Went Softly Out Into the Kitchen at Night

ana something usually is out of place in

and reproachfully.
A few nights ago. was very tired and
went to my room early. I was just fall

spoke my name sternly.
What's the matter?" I queried. start
led.
That maid of yours went out and left
on the kitchen table the cake plate with
the sliced cake on II, just as II came out
from the dining room after dinner"
His tone was as portentous as ~ he had

"You ought to help it." he declared. IT
have put the cake away In the cake-box
myself. Not only is such carelessness un-
tidy and extravagant. but It attracts
mice and water bugs"
/ said nothing but turned over with a
sigh. and closed my eyes. Yet Andrew

you will speak to tho maid about II
in the morning OF course?' he persisted.
I was weary and nervous and the last
vestige of patience deserted me.
,'Oh Andrew exclaimed. For good
ness sake. don't be so petty I wish you
would run your office-which is your Job
and let me run the house"
"Then it would never be rum" he re-
marked dryly.

Many wives will think-perhaps with
reason-that was inexcusably rude. But
