J. If you cannot accelerate the speed

TICKS AND THE OVERFLOW.
10000 Cattle Crossed from Louisi-

when nearly thirty thousand head OF

parishes at Vidalia, La, to Natchez

and the cattle in this district are
mostly in pastures in Mississippi
Some of them, however, were driven
to La Sale and Rapides parishes
where fever ticks are known OF exist
and it is anticipated that many will
die from tick fever. An appeal was
made to the bureau to have these cat

the situation as ticks will give the
cattle fever, even though the cattle
are dipped regularly; besides these
last named parishes are not cooper

enforced in this territory.

overflow region in Louisiana have

These cattle were moved into Mis-
sissippi without delaying the trans

the movement without delay. Owners

Federal Control Of Child Labor.

The ease with which the last two
amendments to the constitution were
put through, has encouraged the be-
lief among some people, that amend
ments without limit, and covering
every subject under the sun, might
be tackled on to the organic law with
very little effort. The latest attempt
to amend the constitution is in the
nimie of resolution introduced by
tentative Fitzgerald of Ohio,
ing an amendment, giving
power to Congress to regulate the
employment of children under IS
years of age. The approval of two
thirds of the members of the House
and Senate and three-fourths of the
states is required to enact the amend
ment. Mr.. Fitzgerald believes the
measure will pass without difficulty
and bases that belief upon the ground
that most of the states have child
labor laws But the very fact that
some states have child labor laws,
which are working out well, should be
sufficient cause for those states to
oppose tue amendment hich would
null:fy their laws and vest the regu-
lation of child labor in Congress.

Value of Good Dairy Bulls.

tional Holstein-Friesian Convention
and sale to be held June S to 10 at
Kansas City, Mo. Sixteen of the
booths wilf'~show dairy practices 8
the marketing of dairy products, and
2 in use of milk in the diet. The
booths will illustrate the value Of
good bulls; the advantages of COW
testing and bull associations and
proper feeding of dairy animals; the
sanuirements for milk production ;
60 necessity for eradicating tubercu-
Bsis, and the progress Of the accredi-

numerous ways of utilizing milk and

The need for improving dairy cattle

be brought about through the use of
good pure-bred sires is strikingly
shown by reproductions of color of
actual farms and herds where such
sires were used for number of
years. Contrasted with this improve
ment there is shown rundown farm
with it's low-producing herd of scrub
cows resulting. from the use Of scrub
