Tick Eradication

taken aither by the local authorl-
ties or by one or more publle-Npl-
rit.d and progressive stock own
ers. The cost Of building vat Is
comparatively small, and It has
been found that these practical de
nsnstrations are by far the most
effective method Of convincing
farmers that the tick can be era
dictated without anv injury what
soever to live stock. AS soon as
the v.ts are built, number OF de
monstrations should be held III
order TO give all the people OF the
county All opportunity to see Tor
themselves that dipping does no
injury TO cattle. There is a wide
spread belief among the less in
formed stock owners in the tick
infested regions that the arsenic
in the dipping watts poisons cattle
and dries up mich COWS. This
erroneous notion may be easily
di.pelled if arrangements are made
for holding the dipped cattle on
exhibition for a few days.
After a series of such demonstra-
tons, meetings of farmers are
held and the benefit of tick eradi-
cation explaines. Ordinarily these
meetings lead to the organization
of county live stock associations,
which have been found very in
fluential factors in promoting era
dication. 1t is customary for these
associations to apply to the County
Board for the materials for the
watts and for the chemicals used in
the baths. Until satisfactory ar
rangements have been made in
this or some similar wav for the
construction of sufficient vats to
accommodate all the cattle in the
county without driving them long
distances, the time is not ripe to
undertake active eradication work.
In most instances the law requires
that before such work is unker-
taken the county should vote for
II Ia a special election. Even
where no election is actually re-
quired, the moral effect of the ex-
preston of the peoples will is
greatly to be desired.
Systematic eradication work
means the dipping of all cattle in
the county every ID daAs in q stand
ard arsenical solution. Ifthis re-
gulation is rigidly enforced, one
season should see the elimination
of the ticks and the freeing Of the
county from quarantine. Every
dipping, however, should be su
pervised by regularly appointed
inspectors and the arsenical solu
ton should be tested and made of
standard strength each time that
the vat is used. Furthermore
care should be taken to account
for each COW in the TERRITORY in
which the vat is located. A few
neglected animals will afford enr
fuge for the tick and, in time, undo
oil that has been ACCOMPLISHED BY
the dipping Of the others.
The regulations necessarily in
volve some inconvenience TO cattle
owners. AS has already been said
therefore, before active work is
undertaken, it is essential that
public sentiment be brought to a
point where the inconvenience is
cheerfully put up with. In gene
raj, one 10 two years preliminary
work is sufficient for this purpose
The free use of demonstration vats
will do much toward shorthning
the period and increasing enthu-
siasm for the active work that is

MOTOR SLANG IN ENGLAND.
American Motor Cyclists Tell of Pc
culiar British Phrases.

American cotor cyclists who have
visited England are much impressed at
the picturesque slang which decorates
the talk of English riders. What we
call brush on the road they describe
as going off on a blind" The warning
horn is a "hooter" in England. Where
we say skid. their expression is side
slip" An engine which stalls or dies
on a hill in the English vernacular
''sonks out" A rider. just returned
from England, reports these differ
ences
A fast machine is very hot" and a
fast rider is very mustard" Instead
of changing into high gear. it's top
gear across the water. If you hear 1t
said that a rider is going all out" that
means of course, that the throttle is
wide open A sporty rider is classed
as "knut." Making a corner is called
"cornering.'' If a Yankee remarks that
an engine skips it makes an English
man laugh; he always says misses
'Rippin'" and 'toppfn'" to describe a
machine or sport conveys the sense or
the riders enthusiasm quite EFFECTIVELY
The American boys who have been
abroad say that the Englishmen are
jolly and very good entertainers. They
use lightweight machines much more
than in this country, but are quite as
keen" to use an English expression.
