ONLY THE CATTLE TICK
TRANSMITS TEXAS FEVER
Ticks Found On Dogs. Rabbits, ETC.,
Are Harmless To Cattle So Far 40
Teras Fever II Concerned.

Are Harmless TO Cattle So Far 40
| Texas Fever 10 Concerned.
Many people, 1t seems. still believe
| that the methods employed In tick
| eradication work cannot prove sue
cessful for the reason that small ami
mails. such az rabbits, etc, which car
| ry ticks, cannot be treated for these
parasites.
Such reasoning would be entirely
logical provided all ticks found on all
animals were the same kind OF ticks.
True, to the casual observer, all ticks
have a striking similarity in appear
ance: but, as Z matter OF fact, there
are quite number Of different varse-
ties OF ticks, each one being peculiar
to certain animals, but do not develop
on others. But so far as Texas fever
is concerned, there is only one variety
OF tick in North America that will
transmit the germ Of this fever, and
that Is the common cattle tick, which
develops only on cattle. horses and
mules. The other ticks which are
found on dogs. rabbits. and other anil
mails, while they all belong to the
tick family. do not affect cattle 70
any extent, and have no connection
whatever with Texas fever; nor are
they considered at all In the csrn-
paign OF tick eradication.
The confusion, or misconception,
with regard to the possibility OF tick
eradication. seems to have arisen from
the idea, therefore, that all ticks seen
on all kinds OF animals, are one and
the same kind OF ticks, which. fortu-
nately, Is not the case. II 1t were
40. complete tick eradication. would,
indeed. be hopeless undertaking.
It should be understood, therefore.
that the common cattle tick seen on
cattle and which natures only on
cattle. horses and mules, IL the only
variety that transmits the germ OF the
fever. and the only tick that the au-
thorities are endeavorfng to extermi-
nate: the others being harmless to
cattle, 80 far as tick fever il concern
ed. And seasons regular dipping,
at intervals Of IA days, should, In most
cases. eradicate this tick entirely
from q parish or section.
Let us get busy this spring and see
how many parishes We can clean up
by the end Or the coming season. As
delay only adds to the cost Of the
work. ~.----
