Reports From States.

A summary of the state reports
shows that Alabama with $3.50 watts
had 143,3s4 dippings in March; Arkas-
sas, 2,301 watts, 1915 clippings; Flor
Ida, lila watts, 94,905 clippings; Geor-
gia, 1920 watts, 1872, 704 clippings; Louis
iana, 4,459 watts, 253,129 clippings; Mis-.
slssippi, $3.50 watts, 12S.703 dlppings
Oklahoma, 1853 watts, 44,93S clippings
South Carolina, S01 watts, LAT dip
pings; North Texas, 4,905 watts, 273,-
937 clippings; South Texas, 1,220 watts,
66,574 clippings. Preliminary and re-
organization work was conducted In
North Carolina.
Ample provision has been made in
every state for dipping watts, and IN
adequate supply of dipping materials
has been distributed to thee counties
that will likely need them this season.
Satisfactory progress in constructing
watts and In preparing the dipping so
luton was made despite the excessive
rains.
In Texas, which has the largest
amount of infested territory, encourag-
ing progress is reported from zone
No. 1. which includes the territory in
which eradication work Is to be
planned most vigorously this year.
Nearly all the counties In zone No. ]
have made appropriations for the
work. and construction Of dipping watts
Is being pushed as rapidly as possible.

A Cattle Tick Dipping Demonstration.

statewide law enacted by the Georgia
legislature at its 1913 session becomes
effective in December of this year, and
1920 may be the last year of the ticks
residence In that state.
In Florida 1t will be necessary to
conduct eradication work In units COM
posed of several counties, and for this
reason more time is required to con-
struct dipping watts and make arrange
ments for systematic work. The people
of Florida. however, are alive to the
necessity for tick eradication, and the
state cooperation given to the federal
government makes it seem certain that
Florida, despite the great area still
under quarantine, will not be the last
state inhabited by the tick.
In North Carolina the eradication
work is being recognized with encour-
aging prospects for an early cleanup.
Final "mopping-up" work is being con-
Quoted in South Carolina, from which
the federal quarantine was removed

The Oklahoma state legislature, by

which to carry on county work. With
this assistance It Is believed that Okla

OF the tick by the end Of 1910.

Positive Necessities.
A modern barn and silo are positive
necessities in modern dairy farming
They keep high-priced animals. healthy
and productive, save labor, and con-
serve feed. which At its present price
Is good business.
In planning a dairy barn, or general
purpose-barn, 1t is always well to con-
suit the local architect, builder and
material dealer before deciding on the
design. These men know how a barn
should be built to supply the needs of
the individual. They also can tell
what such a building will cost, and will
help finance the building should it be
necessary.
Dairy products are high in price now,
just as are other farm products. And

The Polish instruction In 1868 gave
Bismarck a chance to make friends
with Russia, and he declared that II
Russia were driven out Of Poland
Prussia would march in. The affairs
of the "duchies" gave Bismarck an
other opportunity. The Danish gov
eminent had prepared constitution
for Schleswig which made that duchy
an integral part of the Danish king
dom, which was contrary to the last
of the many settlements of the
"Schleswlg- Holsteln question" The
Germanlc confederation refused to
take any steps and Bismarck made
advances to Australia would en-
veigle her and then destroy her.
The Danes counted upon aid from
France and England, In both of which
countries there had been an outbreak

aced by two powerful ones, and in
March of 1868 a royal proclamation
issued at Copenhagen repudlated the
settlement OF 1852 and offered the
gage Of battle.
Beginning Of War.
On January 16, 1864, Prussia and
Austria sent an ultimatum to Den
mark demanding that the constitution
Of Schleswig be withdrawn within two
days. The Danish foreign minister
pointed out that as the Danish parlia-
ment was not In session this was Inn
possible.
The PrusSian troops massed on the
Elder at once crossed the frontier and
war began. Austrian troops joined
the Prussians and the Danes fought
yaliantly but unavailingly against the
invaders. The fortress of Dupple fell
on April Is and the Danes, driven
from the mainland took refuge on the
island Of Alsen. There came a pause
In the war and a conference of the
powers was hastily assembled In Lon
don. But Bismarck would listen to no
compromise and the war was renewed.
II was now clear that Prussia de-
signed both the duchies for herself:
but while Austria saw this she was

taking advantage OF Austria's engage

Of housing his stock and Of caring fol

The feed alley is equipped with an
overhead carrier system that leads
from the silo and feed rooms to each
stall. The ensllage and grain are
placed in the carrier and taken to each
manger, which, 1t readily win be seen
eliminates many steps and much time
Carriers are over each litter alley and

ture Of time.
Tanks Do Not Freeze.
The stall floors as wen as the stable
floor are constructed of concrete. AT
the rear of each row of stalls Is a gut
ter with a drain at one end. It is the
work of but few minutes to flush
these cutters after the manure has
been removed. The indoor water tanks
will not freeze in the winter and water
always is available for the stock. With
a small additional expense the water
can be piped to individual drinking
cups at each stall.
Sunshine and fresh air are two Of
the things that keep the cows healthy
and productive. The windows in this
barn permit the sunshine to fall on the
litter alleys and cutters. Sunshine kills
germs and keeps the barn air whole
some. The windows also admit plenty
of fresh air, the foul air being drawn
out of the stable through the shafts
and out of the ventilatorsson the roof.

The treaty Of Frankfort, which on

The sstensible cause Of the Franco
Prusslan war was the refusal Of Prus-
