TIE STORY OF THE CATTLE
FEVER TICK.

One warm summer day an olive
green cattle fever tick laid 4,OO(
tiny eggs in the grass on a south
ern farm. These eggs were waxJ
brown in color and were MOI
much larger than a turnip seed
These little eggs were kept
warm by the sun. I'm less than O
month they Matched out into
lively, hungry seed ticks. Each
seed tick was smaller than the
head Of q pin. If you had looked
at these ticks through a magnify
ing glass, you would have seen
that they had six eggs.
These tiny seed ticks were very
hungry. They wanted to get
some blood from COW or steer or
calf. Blood is the only food they
can eat.
The hungry baby ticks crawled
to the tips of the grass and to the
tops OF weeds and, bushes. They
waited there for an animal to pass
by.
A COW walked slowly by the
spot where the little ticks were
hiding.
The ticks smelled blood and got
ready to get on the cow,
Many of the seed ticks were
able to get on her tail or her neck
or her legs.
Every baby tick on the cow
began to hunt for thin place in
her hide.
As soon as each tick had found
q tender spot, it began to bury
its head in the hide. 1t was
digging tiny well to the blood
in the COW.
Here are seed ticks driving
their little wells to the blood in
the COW:
When the baby ticks got their
first taste of blood, they began to
suck blood as fast as they could.
Every day they grew a little
larger. They sucked blood and
grew for about a week. Then
they shed their skins, which is
called melting. and became little
-8-legged ticks
The little 8-legged ticks sucked
blood again and kept on growing
until they changed or molted q
second time.
After this second change some
Of the ticks had become brown
male ticks. The others had be-
come egg-laying ticks. The egg
