Leaves Make Good Bedding.

The importance of securing the
the greatest possible return. from the
manure supply of the country can
hardly be overestimated at any time,
1t is infinitely greater when the pro-
duction of food is so vital to the Ma
ton as during the present crises.
In localities where leaves are OBJ
tainable at small cost as compared to
the cost of straw, condition which
exists in some sections, il would seem
advisable to make use of this mater
ial for bedding instead of straw. 1t is
a well-known practice in the wooded
sections of the South to use leaves
for bedding. Frequently land has
been built up into high state of fer
tility when this was practically the
only means of supplying humus to the
soil.
When you have baekaehe theliver or kid.
nsys are sure to be out Of gear. Try San.

you. Get Il ct the drug store.

from quarantine in 1917 a total OF
70.745 square miles, which was prac-
tically 200 per cent increase over the
average yearly accomplishment since
tick eradication was actively begun 10
years ago. This area included 1877
counties, and portions of counties, in
to which pure-bred cattle from Nor
thern States or other tick-free sec
tons may be safely introduced for
the purpose of improving and building
up the beef and dairy herds of the
south.
Expects New Record This Year.
There are in operation now 26,976
dipping watts at which during July of
this year 6,6sO,232 clippings of cattle
were officially supervised. There are
2,2O2 Federal, State and county EN-
ployees devoting their entire time to
tick eradication work, and it is believ-
ed that the accomplishment of 1918
will exceed that of last year. 1t is ex-
pected that practically all of Louis
lana and all of South Carolina, in ad-
dition to areas in other States, will
be freed this year.
The most notable accomplishment
of last year was the freeing of Miss
issipp, which opens a tick-free high
road to the Gulf. When South Carol
ina is freed from quarantine there will
be tick-free zone to the Atlantic
Ocean.
1t was estimated by the Bureau OF
Animal Industry few years ago that
the total loss to the cattle industry of
the South due to the presence of the
tick aggregated close to $4,000, 900
every year. During the fiscal year 1918
there were shipped to market for inn
mediate slaughter 3,015,S75 cattle
from the tick infested portions of the
South. Had these cattle been raised
under tick-free conditions, they would
have averaged about 200 pounds heav-
ier, or 6OoOOo,OOO pounds in all The
importance of such an addition to
this country's food resources does not
call for argument.

The Care Of Our Horses In France

Henry Bazin says, in the New York
World, from January 1, to April 1,
the hospitals for the use of the Amer
lean war horses received 1900 patti
ents of which 200 were completely
cured and returned to service. The
finest kind of work, he states, is being
done by our veterinary corps in treat
ing the animals for shell-shock,
wounds, and their various diseases.

them thin and scrawny, and uses for
its own purpose the food that should
go into meat and milk, but it spreads
among the cattle the serious splenetic
or tick fever. Cattle seriously infested
its own purpose the food that should
with ticks become emaciated and
weak, and thousands of them die
every year.
The method of fighting the ticks
adopted by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, in cooperation
with the States and counties is the
use of the cattle dipping vat. AT reg
ular intervals throughout the summer
cattle infested with ticks or likely to
be infested are given bath in the
watts. The baths contain an arsenical
solution which kills the ticks. Repet-
ition of the baths and effective quar-
antine measures prevent the sprad of
ticks and fever, and gradually push
ing the freed area toward the Gulf
of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean.
When the United States entered the
world war the National Congress saw
fit to hasten the anti-tick work by in
creased appropriations, aiming to les
sen the ravages of this parasite and
increase our food supply. AS result
of the speeding up process there were
freed from cattle ticks and released

The steady advance of the Federal
State and county forces fighting the
cattle fever tick in 10 Southern States
means benefits not only for the own
ers of live stock in the States most
directly concerned, but to live stock
owners in all other States and in larg-
err sense to the nation as a whole and
all the nations associated in the strug-
gle against German autocracy.
In the first place, victory over the
ticks will mean that Southern farm
ers will have no obstacle to the con-
servation of their excellent pasture
lands into good meat and milk. Next
it will mean a new and important
market for northern-bred live stock.
Finally, there will be more meat and
more milk for America and the Allies.
That is why the anti-tick fight. al
though carried on only in 10 of the
AZ States, is in reality national en-
terprise.
A Destroyer of Food.
To Americans not acquainted with
the destructive work of the cattle
fever tick it should be explained that
this little parasite has done more to
impede the development of the
southern cattle industry than any
other single factor. The tick not only
sucks the. blood of cattle, making
