My uncle's life had been blighted by an i'll assorted marriage in every oth' CT respect he was to be envied or would have been had 1t not been for his marriage. He was prosperous In business affairs and accumulated q fortune. But no children were born to him during the brief period of his mar riage, and after his separation from his wife he never entered upon sec ond matrimonial adventure
 I was his only male relative, and after hesltatlng for some time between leaving his property in trust for a philanthropic work and leaving It to me he finally came to the conclusion to allow it to accumulate through my life time, l to establish the foundation that he intended. But this plan was con tingent on my agreeing not to marry.
 His proposition to me, if accepted, would give me every comfort and lux ury so long as l lived. but would de prive me of wife and children. l did not agree with my uncle on the sub ject of matrlmony because l knew that, though a splendid man, he must be very hard man to get on with.

The annual toll of the Texas fever
cattle tick in the infested area of the
South reaches staggering total. Yet
the tick itself is a small parasite, Sc
curing its sustenance by taking little
sups OF blood from the animals and
often passing on to them the dreaded
Texas fever. Many cattle owners
who have always been accustomed to
see both ticks and ticky cattle on
their farms unfortunately are not in
clined to attach much importance to
cattle ticks, and. as a rule, through
lack of appreciation of their damag-
ing effects, consider them as of little
consequence. Ticks take their toll
In many ways, all of which are not
generally understood. Their power OF
transmitting Texas fever would alone
demand their complete eradication,
but there are other good reasons for
Kidding the South of cattle ticks.
IL Is not uncommon to notice ami
mails on pastures with their hides
very heavily infested with ticks. By
continuous sucking of the blood from
the animals, the ticks imroverish
their circulation and the cattle must
be fed heavier in order to meet the
demands OF the ticks in addition to
the ordinary needs of the animals.
This condition, together with the loss
or blood, frequently induces an irri-
table state and evidences of uneasi-
ness, commonly known as tick
worry" which results in loss of en-
ergy and in other arrangements in
the animals health. Especially dur
ing hot weather, in pronounced cases,
the animal loses flesh in spite of good |
pasture, and because of reduced vi |
tally is more susceptible to the in
roads OF disease. If the animals be- |
come heavily infested the growth of |
the cattle may be retarded. In many |
parts OF the South young cattle are
thin, weak and stunted, a condition
which has been termed tick pow
erty."

Losses to Market and Dairy Cattle.
A comparison of the actual money
value OF cattle with ticks and cattle
without ticks is interesting. II ia
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 a cent less
per pound than the quoted market
price. The handicap to the southern
cattle seller. therefore. is about sI.5O
per 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 Of development of southern
cattle caused by the ticks.
It was estimated by government
specialists that in dairy cattle har.

milk flow is reduced about IS per cent.
