The following statements are re-
printed from Farmers Bulletin No.
147:
"The common tick, margaropus
annulatus, infests the cattle through
out the greater part of Florida.
While maturing, each tick abstracts
definite amount of blood from an
animal, and to that degree Injuries it.
The quantity of blood abstracted Is
many times the weight of the ticks
when grown, for these represent only
that part of the solids and fluids Of
the blood which may be converted
into the tissues of the tick, the re-
naming solids and fluids being re-
jected.
Ticks Garry Texas Fever Germs.
But the greatest disturbance Gre
ated by the tick seems to be, not in
the amount of blood abstracted but
in the fact that it is the carrier OF
the germ of Texas fever which 1t
transmits to cattle. When cattle
that have never become accustomed
to ticks are infested they become
very sick and usually die, This may
occur anywhere, either within or
without the tick-infested region. AS
time passes the important fact that
no cattle in the quarantined area of
the South are ever safe from the ef-
fects of Texas fever, either in Its
acute or chronic form, becomes more
and more impressed upon those who
have to study the affected cattle

some time but later recuperated and
held her weight to the end.
Cows 13, 16, and II were infested
about alike, but Nos. 13 and IL sur
fered more from fever than No. 16.
They were red cows of mixed origin
and doubtful ancestry.
A Few Ticks May Cause Fever.
THE sickness in the cattle was
not entirely due to the number OF
ticks, for COWS that had fewer ticks
by far than COW Is were sick much
earlier
THE death of COW 15,N due to ex-
cessive tick-infestatior, and various
occurrences OF fever in the other an
imals, emphasizes the extreme haz-
ard of cattle being continuously sub
1ected to these losses by the tick.
Cow 15 was one of the best of the
tick-infested group, and represented
at least 10 per cent loss from the
capital invested in tick-infested
cows. Furthermore, the losses OBJ
served in this experiment were sus-
tained on rations sufficient to main
tain body weights. 1t is PROB
able that much of the spring losses
in cattle now laid to starvation, due
to lack of pasturage, is materially
aided by blood depletion due to ticks,
and, that repeated dippings would
save many cattle lost otherwise.
"Fever-producing parasites are pre-
sent In the blood of cattle once In
tested by ticks, though they may be
so few in number that no symptoms
OF the disease are apparent The
danger from them turks there, never
theless, for under certain conditions
the parasites may multiply so rapid
ly as to cause I.arked disease or
death, or they may be transferred by
ticks to uninfected animals. Thus
the tick constitutes source OF dan
ger, and should be exterminated."
The second Friday in October has
been officially designated as a time
for the special study of cattle ticks
in every public school IL Florida.
You do not have to wait until that
date to study the financial loss ticks
have caused for you. Tick eradica-
tion work is worth while, whether
you own cattle or not, so why not
get behind the movement and make
this a tick-free community?

With milk ranging from DO to
60 cents a gallon and butter run
ming from 40 to so cents a pound,
it seems that more men would go
into the dairy business. Think of
the large varieties of feeds, chear

products can be produced cheap
er here than anywhere in the u

far above what the northern
dairymen receive.
