St. John Free of Tick.

DR.. E. J. Nickel, supervising in
spector of tick eradication, reports
that the parish of st. John has been
declared entirely tick free and all
inspectors have been discharged. He
says that there are but few parishes
in the state that are absolutely free
of tick, and the people of st. John
are to be congratulated upon the CO.
operation they have given in stamp
ing out this blood-sucking parasite.
This is an example of what can be
done if the people would just realize
that 100 per cent dipping would soon
exterminate this pest. Applying Lin
coins old adage to tick, DR.. Nickel
says:
"You can dip some of your cattle all
of the time ...-
"And all of your cattle some of the
time,
"But you can't get rid of the tick
unless
"You dip all of your cattle all of the
time-every fourteen days y
