More Milk in Tiek-Free Territory. Of the milk and it cleans the udder of the COW. It does not cause a shrinkage i'll the flow of milk if cows are dipped early in the morning.
 The arsenic solution does not always kill the ticks immediately, and the en. sorged femsees may live for three CT four days. The dip is most effective on young ticks, but regular dipping will eradicate all Texas fever ticks.
 It is practical to eradicate ticks from any part of the state, but it is best to have four or more counties in a group, because it is less expensive to protect the counties from re-infection by cattle straying from infested coun. ties.

MANY VARIETIES OF TICKS
Only One of These, However, Is the
 Texas Fever Tick.

Six common varieties of ticks thrive in Arkansas. Only one of these, how ever, is the Texas fever tick. The other ticks may develop on rabbits, squirrels, dogs, sheep and other farm animals, and these parasites drop tc the ground during each period of moult. If the fever ticks can be kept off the animals in the summer months they can be eradicated. All cattle in each community should be dipped reg ularly every three weeks.

THE BLISTER cANKER.

Apple tree blister canker will never disappear once it has gained a foot hold in the apple tree. It spreads so rapidly in the heart wood it soon 1n- vades the entire tree. The only rem edy for prevention is to keep all the wounds covered with a stiff white lead paint. Never use ready mixed paint, as 1t often contains gasoline or other injurious substances. A little lamp black may be used if white paint is not desirable.

tanning information asked by the
Chamber regarding the attitude of
Brazil in the Mexican question. In
his reply, DR.. Mueller shows that the
action of Brazil through her ambas-
sador at Washington was wholly paci-
fic in character and a manifestation
of the fraternal sympathy Of the
American peoples for the people of
Mexico harrassed through long years
by civil war.
The Brazilian government, it is
pointed out. steadfastly and forever
maintaining its respect for popular
sovereignty. could in no way commit
Brazil to participation in an internal
tional meeting from which would re-
suit an attempt against the sover-
eighty of q fraternal and friendly peo-
pie

to guarding the border, leaving the
policing work in the interior except
