her milk flow will temporarily fall off
slightly. The actual figures show that
for two or three days there may be a
reduction Of an average Of 10.6 per
cent, or about 0.S CT a quart for an
8-Quart COW. In three to five days the
temporary falling off disappears and
il the dairyman would keep records
over any long period he would find
that getting rid Of ticks was increas-
ing his actual milk production from
Is to AZ per cent
That dipping COWS to get rid Of
cattle ticks must increase milk flow
can readily be reasoned out by any
one who will approach the subject
with an open mind and not let his
prejudices fight his pocketbook.
Cows can make milk only from blood.
1t follows that the more blood ticks
suck out from them the less material
the cows will have to turn into milk
When it Is realized that the ticks on
heavily infested COW consume as
much as 200 pounds of blood a year,
it can be readily seen that a heav.
lily infested COW will lose by the
tick route large and important
amount Of milk-making material.
When it is realized thN the COW can
make blood to supply her milk glanus
only from the feed she coheumes, it
can be seen that the tick by sucking
blood is wasting a lot Of good feed
that ought to be going to increase
milk production.
1T is as unreasonable to estimate
the effect of dipping on a cows yield
from the milk she gives for two days
after she has been dipped as it woulil
be for a purchaser Of a cow to expect
that COW to give her full milk record
the first day after she had been
driven to a new farm and placed IN
strange quarters. No sensible dairy.

she did not live up to the guaranteed

Brodsky, who has home in the San

his active interest in his chain OF

TICKS TAKE TOLL FROM DAIRY COWS;
DIPPING INCREASED YIELD Of MILK

Dipping cows to kill fever ticks
actually increases milk yields" say;
the United States department CT agri
culture in a recent statement. This
is proved in actual experiment and in
the results obtained in thousands OF
dairy herds, the owners Of when are
thorough believers in tick eradication
by the dipping vat method. Careful
records prove that lightly infested
cows produce 1876 per cent less milk
that free COWS, while COWS heavily in,
tested produce on an average 42.4 PEI
cent less milk than similar cows freed
from ticks. This was established by
records Of yields kept over consider
able periods for ticky herds before
they were dipped and for the same
herds after they were dipped.
"a herd Of 20 lightly licked cows
produced 20 quarts less milk per day,
or loss OF $500 quarts in 200 days
milking, than 20 tick-free COWS Of the
same kind. Twenty heavily licked
cows produced 81 quarts per day less,
or loss Of 13,400 quarts in 200 days
milking, than 20 tiSk-free cows of a
similar breed. The monetary gain
from dipping of the lightly infested
herd would have been $3.50 a year;
from the heavily-ticked herd a dipping
would have given increased profits Of
$3.50 a year.
Here is an actual record from q
dairy herd: A dairyman in heavily
infested territory dipped his cattle.
One week after dipping, his herd o.
AZ COWS gave 10 gallons OF milk a day
more-an increase of 1876 per cent
from the start. The milk sold for S5
cents a gallon, and he got $3.50 more
per day from his herd from one dip
ping. He had begun to feed the cows
instead Of the ticks.
Those who assert that dipping d.
minishes milk flow Judge entirely
from the milk production for two or
three days Immediately following the
trip to the vat. 1t is natural for two
or three days after a mich animal

adventure, but the trumpet call Of a
solemn duty.
They need all the courage that they
can possibly summon up, and for the
women at home to weaken this, or To
add one feathers weight to their bur
den, is nothing short OF cruelty. 1t
is a turning OF the knife in a sore
wound 1t is stab in the heart from
which a man bleeds white OF resOIu-
ton and determination.
How can a man go forward when his
wife or his mother writes him that
every step he takes away from her is
breaking her heart? What strength
can he give to the grim work he has
in hand when her every letter is sod
den with tears over his loss? What
courage can he have with his mind
filled with the picture she paints for
him Of his home draped in mourning?
OF course the women who writ
these doleful letters do not realize
the harm that they are doing, nor do
they mean everything that they say.
Nor IL they were in the mems places
would they be as much depressed by
the melancholy miSsives as the men
are. Women are comforted by tears
and it consoles them to know that
they are wept over, and so they are
never able to understand that man
simply disintegr1tes under a woman s
tears, and that they sap the last bit
Of courage that is in him. Therefore,
when a woman writes a man that she
is weeping over lis loss day and night
It is just an assurance of her love and
tenderness-the highest tribute she
can pay him-and she doesn sense
that she is tearing the heart out Of
his bosom and making him utterly
miserable.
Women also ike to be pitied and
they find a morbid pleasure in always
anticipating the worst that can pos
sibly happen. They know 50 little
of men, even Of the men nearest to
them, that they do not realize that
every fibre of manhood in a man re-
volts at compassion, that men can
only struggle and achieve as long as
they have hope. and so the women
are literally aiding the enemy and
defeating their own, when they pass
on their own gloomy forebodings to
those who are girding themsel yes up
to strike a great blow for the worlds
freedom.
Nobody undertakes the sacrifice Of
the woman who sends her husband
and son forth to war. No one r1inim-
izes her sufferings, nor depr sciates
her fears. The bitterness is always
with those who are left behind, and
the woman who sits at homo and
waits suffers just as much as any
bullet torn soldier at the front, for
his body can only die one death, while

Upon entering the parlor the caller
advanced gayly toward the hostess or
