The future development of Florida
depends very largely upon the calf
crop, which, at present, is restricted
to a considerable extent by the pres
ence Of cattle ticks.
Fruit trees often bloom freely, but
fail to set much fruit, owing to some
climatic condition or other destructive
influence beyond human control at
time of bloom, and the years crop is
lessened to that extent
Every mature COW which fails to
produce calf each year lessons the
size of the crop, and the amount Of
profit on the investment in the herd,
as the expense for her upkeep through
the unfruitful year is practically as
heavy as if she raised calf.
Tick eradication will help to solve
this problem, so the matter of insur-
ing large calf crop rests within the
control of man
After the ticks are all killed the
cows can give their energy to repro
duction of their kind and to Rourish-
ing same before and after birth.
Ticks Lower Vitality
If the COW is emaciated and has low
vitality at breeding time, the proba-
bilities are that her reproductive or
gans will not respond and consequent
ly she will fail to produce calf the
following year
Every person who has studied the
activity of ticks knows that the para
sites are very insistent upon getting
their toll of blood so long as the COW
has any blood in her veins.
A number of reasons are given by
cattle owners when the calf crop
shortage is unusually large, but the
most important influence causing it
in this state is ticks, which can be
easily eradicated.

Idle Gossip.

In my opinion the want of occu-
patton is no less the plague of So
ciety than of solitude. Nothing is
so apt to narrow the mind; nothing
produces moro trifing, silly stories,
mischief making lies than being
eternally shut up in a room with
one another, reduced, as the only
alternative, to be constantly twad-
ding. When everybody is occupied
we only speak when we have some
thing to say, but when we are doing
nothing we are compelled to be al
ways talking, and of all torments
that is the most annoying and the
most dangerous.-Rousseau.

When Johnny was nineteen years old
some one was needed to go somewhere
