CATTLE OWNERS

-{ATTENTION CATTLE OWNERS
| Dip your cattle regularly ever,
twenty -one days and free youl
pasture of cattle ticks. The cat
tie tick is disease producln,
parasite. Seven cattle were founo
with tick fever in the last tw,
weeks, five of which have died O.
the dreadful disease. These cat
tie were valued at $4,000, owned
by Mr.. Geo. w. Dallas and Mr.
Horace Gates of this City.
Some people seem to think while
cattle are being dipped, they are
immuned from the disease. They
are never immuned from the dis
ease until We have eradicated the
cattle tick, which produces the
fever and while you are dipping,
you are only using your cattle as
conveyors to take the ticks to the
dipping watts to be destroyed by
the standard ARSENAL solution
and YOU are not safe until you
have freed that pasture of the
ticks. It takes a season of reg
ular dipping to destroy the tick
in ones pasture. We cannot re-
lease anyone who has had ticks on
their cattle this season, because
of the fact that some engoreed
females may have dropped off and
laid eggs before you had started
dipping. These eggs hatch out
in about three or four weeks in
hot weather and we dip the cat
tie regularly every twenty-one
days to destroy the seed ticks that
get on the cattle. and those that
do not get on the cattle in the
course of six months die of star
walton.
The cattle tick cannot live on
anything but the blood of cattle,
horses or mules, therefore il it
takes i've or six months to free
the pasture by dipping after the
eggs have been Matched, you can
readily see how important it is
that everybody in the Parish lend
a hand and dip their cattle reg
ularly. And how important it is
not to add any cattle to your pas
ture until they will have been
dipped first, even while you are
dipping. If you have any cattle
you wish to add to your pasture,
notify the inspector first SO that
they can be properly dipped be-
fore being allowed to roam with
your other cattle and be sure that
all the stock in your pasture is
being dipped.
We are only releasing those
that have dipped Satisfactorily
and are free of tick. Report all
who are not dipping to the in
spector, because you are only pro-
longing your dipping by not do
ing so. We will not release any
one person who is pasturing their
cattle in a pasture where all cat
tie are not being dipped.
We are releasing those from
dipping and placing them under
quarantine, who have dipped reg
alarly and conscientiously and
those whose cattle showed free of |
lick the latter part of last season
and all Of this season. We will
not release any unless they have
satisfied the inspector that their !
pasture is free of ticks. After
they are free of ticks. we place the |
cattle on premises under quaran-
tine and it is the duty of the
owner to keep the quarantined |
animals confined in such a manner
that other animals not included in
The quarantine cannot come within
The quarantine premises and such
owners are also prohibited from
