Veterinary
Watch Animals for
Tick Paralysis
By J. w. Stafford, D.V.M.

NEARLY EVERY spring tick paraly-
sis is observed in domestic pets and
livestock, especially in western Mon
tana. The chief symptoms in affected
animals are incoordination and un-
steadiness of gait The animal walks
as if intoxicated. It will change direc-
ton abruptly to maintain balance. AS
the animal becomes more severely af-
fected it becomes completely paralyzed
even lacking the ability to lift its head.
Severely affected animals have sub
normal temperature The respiration
and pulse rates are depressed.
There has been considerable specula-
ton as to the cause of tick paralysis.
No one has been able to show that an
infectious agent is involved in the type
of tick paralysis found in this Rocky
Mountain area. The most acceptable
theory is that nerve toxin. Secreted
from the salivary gland of the female
tick, is injected into the tissues during
its feeding process. This theory is
largely substantiated because removal
of the offending tick results in rapid
recovery.
Cattle Losses
The largest losses from tick paraIy-
sis have been reported in cattle. One
outbreak in British Columbia reported
Montana farmer-stockman., 1955-05-01

100 cattle affected out of 900. Sixty-five
animals died. In 1885 about 200 yearIing
in herd of 638 were affected and 26
died. In Montana in 1850 AZ yearlings in
herd of IS were affected and 4 died.
That same year z cattle were affected
on one ranch, the ticks were removed
and all were saved In 1851 about II
buffalo were affected Removal of the
ticks saved all the buffalo.
Young horses have been observed
affected with complete paralysis. Re-
moval of the ticks resulted in recovery.
1t is not infrequent to observe the
-paralyzed cattle or horses that
have drowned as a result Of falling
into creeks or water troughs.
A few dogs are affected with tick
paralysis nearly every spring. Dogs
have been observed paraIyzed with
just one female tick feeding on them.
Removal of the tick always resulted in
recovery.
Remove Ticks
If the offending tick is permitted to
continue to feed on the animal, death
is usually the result. If just one or two
animals are affected with tick paraly-
sis, it is a good idea to go over them
literally with fine tooth comb. Horses
and dogs have been saved by combing
every inch of the body surface to re-
move the ticks. Don't forget to look in
the ears.
If large numbers of animals are af-
fected all at once-they usually are in
herds of cattle, horses and buffalo, the
thorough application over the animals
body with a solution of benzine hexa-
chloride, lindane, chlordane, or other
good tick killers will check the, out
break and save good many of the par
alyzed animals.

PTL Reports On
kenya Progress

Alfred "A. Kunz, international Di-
rector of The Pocket Testament
League, has just issued a report on
PTL's intensive campaign of Scrip
ture distribution and mass evan
gelization among Mau. Mau de-
tainees in Kenya Colony, Africa.
To date, Pocket Testament Lea
que workers have visited IS de-
tention camps, held AZ evangelistic
meetings and distributed Scriptur-
es to 81 ,264 detainees and warders.
In addition to the detainees them
selves, PTL teams had the privil-
ege of preaching to and distribut-
ing Gospels among African guards
and the European officials of the
camps. One official, at first skepti-
cal of the value of the campaign,
was so impressed by the response
among detairees and guards that
he suggested a Sunday school be
started in his camp. In Manyani,
largest of the detainee camps,
Christian detainees are building
their own church of mud bricks as
a resultof the PTL campaign.
The significance of the PTLsMau
Mau campaign lies in the fact that
gradually detainees are being
screened and returned to the ma
tive reserves all. over Kenya. Thus,
thousands of them will carry the
Gospel message and the Scripture
portions back to their families and
communities.
Mr.. Kunz reports that PTL
teams viii begin campaigns in the
African reserves of Kenya in Oc-
tober. 1t is estimated that 70 to
80% of the ,Kikuyu tribe members
in these reserves have signed the
Mau Mau oath. Most of these peo-
pie now, realize the folly of Mau
Mau violence and are waiting for
new message upon which they
can pin their hopes for progress
and better future. They are ripe
for the Gospel!
Mr.. Kunz urges: I'VE need the
prayer support of every Christian
in America as we undertake this
monumental task"

Fair Has eolorfuI History, Full OF
Problems Met And Solved By Citizens

Behind the sixty-sixth annual
Madison County Fair, August 81
through August IS, lies an inter-
esting story as compiled from
perusing the two histories of Mad
ison county. one published in 1888
and the other in 1915.
I'm 1876, the Clark and Madison
County Agricultural Society was
organized, which held fairs alter
nately at South Charleston and
London. The last of these fairs
was held in London, the 9th, 7th
and Sth of October, 1852, On the
18th of November, 1852, the fol-
lowing Agricultural notice appear
ed in the Madison Reveille"; We
the undersigned, citizens of Mad
ison county, are in favor of calling
q county convention, for the pur-
pose of organizing county agri-
cultural society within and for
Madison county, separate and
apart from Clark county; and rec
ommend such convention to be
held on Saturday, the Goth day Of
November, 1852. In response TO
this call a large and enthusiastic
meeting of farmers, mechanics
and business men took place in
London on that date
The meeting was organized by
appointing T. ]. Stutson of Jeffer-
son township, chairman and Viii
liam H. Creighton, secretary. Of
ficers elected were, Richard Cowl-
ing, president; DR.. j. StutSon, vice
president; John Rouse treasurer;
w. H. Creighton, secretary.
THE first fair Of the Madison
County Agricultural Society was
held on the ground where Jeriah
Swetland's residence now stands
in London on Sept. 1929, 1853,
under the direction of these Of
ficers elected on June 4, 1853,
John H. Findley, president; James
Foster, vice president; John
Rouse, treasurer; J. F. Freeman,
secretary.
THE day prior TO the opening of
the fair, the sale of imported
thoroughbred stock brought from
Europe a short time before, took
place, and gave the new enterprise
of the agricultural society an inn
petus IL could have received in no
other way Hundreds of leading
stockmen attended the sale, and
remained for the fair, which prov
ed a grand success.
In September, 1854, the society
purchased eight acres and 80
perches of land, in survey 5670
from John T. Maxey paying for
the same S475. This tract is To-
Gated in the northeast part of
London, and the fairs were held
there for IA years with varying
success. The last exhibition was
held on September 18, 19, 20, 1867,
the following being officers at
that time, ]. Swetland, president;
John Reed, vice president; S. w.

Durflinger, secretary; Preston
Adair, treasurer.
Many causes led to the aband-
onment of these fairs. In the fall
of 1868 a Union Agricultural So
ciety was organized in Mechanics
burg, which had for its promoters
some of the leading citizens of the
northwest portion of Madison
county, who belonged to the Mad
ison County Society. A second
cause was the absence of track
where horsemen could exhibit
their animals. The grounds were
small, and races were not part
of the program of these fairs;
hence one of the principal attrac-
tions was missing. The principal
cause however, why the fairs in
London were abandoned, was on
account of the rapid growth of the
Madison county stock sales, at
that time and for years the glory
and pride of this portion Of Ohio.
This county needed no annual fair
for it held one every month. The
Madison County Agricultural So
ciety, however, still lived; its or
ganization was kept intact and its
financial condition healthy, Its Of
ficerS were, Stephen Watson,
president; Jeriah Swetland, vice
president; j. c. Bridgman, treas
urer; Edwin Phifer, secretary.
London Driving Park Association
The first step taken toward the
revival of the county fairs was
probably the organization of the
London Driving Park Association
This association was formed early
in the year 1883 and soon after
leased so acres of land for park
of r. B. Cowling about one mile
east of London between the rail-
road and the Jefferson Pike. On
March 23 of the same year, they
gave the contract for building a
half mile dirt track to Morris
Nevils for 1899, the track to be
finished by May l: During that
spring the local papers began the
discussion of the revival of the
old county fairs. The park was
opened July 4, with the follow
ing program Of races: Gentlemen's
trot, 800 trot, purse 500; 2:40
pacing, purse 500 2:35 trot,
purse $50; one-half mile running
and one-half mile bicycle. Adrnis-
sion was placed at SO cents for
gentlemen, ladies free. Meet was
successful with approximately 500
to thousand people in attendance.
c. F. Richman, president of the
association; A. W. Boyd, secre-
tary; F. It. Creamer. treasurer.
"On August 8, 1883 another
successful race program was held.
There were 200 shares of stock in
the association with 1S2 sold.
I'm the Democrat of March 4,
1885, is found the following: We
the undersigned citizens of Mad
