Milk Cows With MANY ricks
. n Few TcEs !,

|, A very large area in the South has
already been freed from the tick, but
twice as much still remains to be
cleaned. The edict has gone forth
the tick must go, and go at once II
the South is to enjoy anything like its
legitimate share of prosperity.
I1cky cattle are worth anywhere
from $5 to SO head less than tick.
free cattle, but because it Is impos
sible to introduce purebred stock into
tick-infested territory for the purpose
OF grading up the herds, the difference
between the average value OF cat
tie in the tick states and in the free
states Is much greater than this. On
January Of this year, for example.
the average price Of beef cattle over
two years old in ten tick-infested
states = North and South Carolina.
Georgia. Alabama, Arkansas, Oklaho-
ma and Texas-was $3.50. For the
remainder Of the country 1t was $4847.
In Georgia and Florida the price was
only SIS, in Alabama $40, in Missis.
s1ppi $22, In Louisiana $24 With the
exception Of Vermont and Tennessee,
300,
respectively. Every tick-free state
had an average Of $40 or more. Eight.
cen states were over $50.
Tfck-infested cattle not only weigh
less-and therefore are worth less
than tick-free cattle, but they bring
less per pound. In Alabama and Mis-
sissippi on January l the average
price was four cents. In Connecticut
1t was 8.4 cents, and in no free states
was 1t as low as five cents. The
hides Of the ticky cattle are damaged,
and such hides cannot be used or
making fine grade of leather, tt re-
fore the market price for hides ON
ticky cattle is much reduced. Fror 50
cents to SLIPS is the average loss in
value Of tick-bitten hides

and other small grain to supplement
the corn as food. Pay attention to
winter grazing.
Fourth. Produce hay and forage
from some forage crop, sufficient to
supply all Of tf . live stock on the
farm. Use legumes such as clover,
cowpeas, velvet beans. soy beans and
alfalfa for the production of hay and
to enrich the soil with nitrogen and
humus.
Fifth. Produce the meat necessary
to supply the people through increased
attention to poultry and hogs, espe
cially. Plan to increase gradually
the number Of cattle and other live
stock SO as to have sufficient mum.
Der to consume the waste products Of
the farm and make the waste lands
productive.
Sixth. After all Of these things have
been amply provided for, produce cot.

Wonderful Feed for Hoqs.

Alfalfa is a wonderful feed for hogs
when fed in combination with some
grain. Alfalfa alone as a hog feed
does not give good results except per-.
haps for mature sows as they run on
pasture after weaving the pigs. To
get good gains on growing pigs in an
alfalfa pasture, they should be fed
from one and half to two pounds Of
grain for every hundredweight Of live
hog, corn being ideal for this purpose.

Dairy cattle suffer no less than beef
stock, for the tick gets the blood that
should go to the making Of milk. Gov.
ernment tests show that light in
festation Of ticks reduces the milk
flow 18 per cent; heavy one es much
as AZ per cent. Translate this loss
into dollars and cents for herd OF
20 COWS, which under normal Condi.
tions should each give eight quarts b
day. With milk at five cents per quart
light infestation costs the owner of
such herd $3.50 in the course Of 200
days milking. A heavy infestation
costs him SOTO. In county where
systematic tick eradication work is
under way he could dip his herd, free
them from ticks and save this loss for
a total expenditure that would GER
tainly be no more than $40
This is not mere theory; it has been
proved In actual practice. One dairy
mans experience Is typical. He
owned AZ ticky COWS. gave them one
dipping and week afterwards found
that he had 1876 per cent more milk.
The daily revenue from the herd
was increased $3.b0.
For all the evils that the tick causes
there is very simple remedy-an ar
senical bath.
The work must, however, be sys-
tematic and comprehensive. An un-
dipped herd Is a menace to all the
dipped ones. For this reason the best
results are obtained when q county,
having once voted to undertake eradi-
cation. thereafter enforces rigidly the
necessary regulations. TO aid 1t in
organizing it's campaign and in super
vising the construction Of the vat and
the dipping Of the cattle, the United
States department Of agriculture sup
plies experienced SPECIALISTS; the coun-
ty or cattle owners build the watts and
furnish the arsenic.

The number of women past middle
age who wear hats of fine material
and rich color increases from year TO
year. And the dignity of years is suit
ed to the dignity of elegant fabrics and
TO richness in color. Nevertheless the
majority OF elderly women. still like a
black hat better than any other, and
each season a distinct line of milli.
merry is designed for them in black.
Such hats, to sell well, must meet
the demand OF tastes that have ripened
and that require excellence in work
manship. comfort in fit and certain
style. This Is the most difficult of
problems for the designer, and has re.
suited in developing specialists who
give all their attention to this particu.
