THE SAME BEAST TICK FREE: 2 r.TONTHS AFTER DIPPING, 

 October 12th, 19! 1. WEIGHT 1015 POUNDS. 



The aSove illu5trations afford an example of the benefits afforded by Tick Eradication. The animal shown, when infested with ticks, weighed only 

 730 pound.- on 12th Aj^ust. 191 1. On this dale ihe beast was completely freed from Ticks by dipping. Two months later (12th October), its weight 

 ^id increased to 1015 poan.ls, the feed in the ms.intime remaining the same as before. The total gain after being freed from ticks was thus 



285 pounds in 2 months, or a daily average gain of 43 pounds.
