The writer had the privilege OF
| visiting some OF the generals cat
tie pastures There were about ten
autos In the bunch. At each pen the
general would give us "A little lecture
on that particular lot OF cattle. AT
one OF these lectures, he stated
something that may hc of value to
some Of our American cattle rails
ers He said that they had ceased
burning pastures to destroy the cat
tie ticks and that the ticks Were be-
coming less noticeable. while when
the pastures were burned. the ticks
seemed To increase, The thought was
that the ticks dcpositcd their eggs
! or larvae In the ground to hatch
and that the heat from the fire only
stimulated the Matching OF these
, oggs, thus increasing the number of
/, crops Of ticks per year. | noticed
that the cattle were quite free from
, ticks all over that country; the
oxen being used Tor transportation
! purposes, showed the most ticks.
