Profit per year from .seso.O
The tick, when sucking the blood
also suffers greatly through lack OF
ability to import pure-bred stock.
About 60 per cent OF the cattle
brought in from the North. according
to the departments estimate. sue.
cumb to Texas fever.
Ticks Take Toll From Hides.
The tick, When sucking the blood
OF" cattle, lessons the value of the
hide. reducing it from a No. 2 quality
to that known as No. 4. The differ
ence In price between these two
grades of hide is three cents a pound.
AS the hide Of southern steers weigh
about AZ pounds. the presence of the
tick in the hide causes a loss in the
hide alone of more than $1.26 a hide.
II has been shown that the cost OF
tick eradication is less than fifty cents
a head. SO that the increased value Of
the hide Of the animals would pay the
cost Of eliminating the tick. and leave
the farmer q profit OF about seventy
six CENTS. when considering the hide
alone.
These heavy annual losses Of cattle
raisers in the infected district can be
entirely efaced, and at a cost small
in proportion to the return: for, with
enthusiastic stockmen, satisfactory
state legislation. sufficient money and
a trained corps OF inspectors, the cat
tie tick may be exterminated. and ev-
cry dollar expended in this work will
be returned MANIFOLD during each
succeeding year. The United States
department of agriculture bears part
OF the cost of Kidding the country OF
ticks by sending, without expense to
the county where the work is tc be
conducted. its field men to supervise
the building Of watts and the dipping
Of cattle. The total cost of dipping
cattle at most is SO cents a head, and
in some counties 1t has been estimat-
ed to cost the county and its citizens
not over 20 cents a head.
The department of agriculture has
published a number OF bulletins ON
different aspects of the tick problem
which will be sent ON application.
Among these are Farmers Bulletins
No. 693. Eradication Of the Cattle
Tick Necessary for Profitable Dairy

The accompanying picture shows
the emaciated condition Of q steer In

dipped In an arsenical bath on August

A strong fight to bring the proposed

Tenn, September % and "a. To arouse

purely agricultural states, where farm

Brewer Visits Treasury.

Brewer Visits Treasury.
.Unnannounced and unheralded Gov.
Brewer recently walked into the state
treasury for the purpose of certifying
the cash balance at the close of busi-
ness. This is the constitutional pre-
rogative of the governor, who is re-
quired to do the same thing at least
tout times during the fiscal year AS
on other occasions, he found Treas
urer Stovall's books and the auditors
warrant books to be in harmony,
though as to actual hard cash in the
treasury drawer there was not more
than a few dollars. The books and
vouchers showed q cash balance on
hand in the repositories amounting to
something over 5000 $1,000, and a
smaller amount to the credit OF the
land redemption fund and government
reserve funds for aid Of agricultural
colleges.
From now on until tax-paying time
in December the treasury balance will
dwindle down. In the meantime q PEN
sion fund OF $4,000 will be due In
November, and to meet that demand
will require some financiering.

their own advantage indirectly. One
can imagine why the butcher, the real

interpreted, means the beef trust, the
real estate trust, and bankers, might
want to get control Of organizations Of
farmers for their own selfish ends, but
let as not be too haSty in saving tns

the enter societies aud the many other
organizations have it in their hearts to
do good unselfishly. There is time
enough to discover any Interior motive

One thing is sure, the farmers must
