 NEWBORN CALVES
By This Method the Animals Are Spared Torments of Slow Death by Hunger and Thirst in Texas
 Tales of the Cattle Tick.
From The Texarkanian.

From The Texarkanian
 Texarkana. Aug 3O-West Texas cattle men in the city yesterday and today relate narrowing tales nci- dent to suiTerings of both man and beast on account of the extended drouth which has existed in that portion of the stale for l5 months past. There not only are thousands of cattle dying of starvation and thirst, hut many families of the renter class of farmers are desti tute and in search of work.
 Last week" said one of these grazing land prospectors here to- day, T saw man, with his wife, drawing an old buggy in which were placed their three children and a few necessities of life, travelling the road coming toward a more favored country This man, I learned. had 800 acres of rented land, much of which had been Sown in wheat. All crops were a failure and the man had lost his stock by mortgage. He had nothing left to pull himself and family out
 Thousands of new born calves are being knocked in the head as soon as dropped. the cattleman stated. in order to save them the torment of slow death from hunger and thirst. The plains country is as dry as a road, it is learned.
 Due to these conditions the big cattle men of the west are invading the Red river valley in search of grazing land. X representative here today is acting for interests which control thousands of head of cattle. He was much impressed with twG or three opportunities here. The worst feature. however, is the cat tie tick Cattle in Baylor county, Texas, are in a tick-free, as well as grass-free. country These cattle are clean, and. due to their weak ened condition from a lack of graz ing and water, would prove easy prey to the fever tick which pre- vails so extensively in this portion of the country until after the first killing frost. On account of this it would be death to many of these cattle to ship here, and the expense of freight would be added to the loss.
 In talking matters over with vari- ous people here it was found that cattle thieves are reported as doing some stealing in both counties. This however, did not seem serious menace to the cattle operators, as | if they put any cattle here they would be attended by cowboys from the plains, and they would be given authority to protect the interests they guard. In other words, west
 Texas procedure would be indulged iby the cattle herders.
 The cattlemen visiting here are prospecting, but some of them state they first will go to ranges north of the Arkansas river because some of those counties are tick-free thru the extended use of dipping vats, and also nearness to the northern stock markets.
 Immediate shipping to any large extent may not be indulged until frost this year on account of the southern cattle tick and the deadly fever, the result of the bite of that insect
