 holding branding 2,000 calves, instead of turning off 200 cows, 

 which very few do in that proportion they should be marketing 

 at least 500. These extra 300 cows alone at present values would 

 more than compensate for all extra expenditure incurred. Then 

 take into consideration the holding would carry 50 per cent, more 

 stock with all the additional returns for an increased turn off 

 and better class of bullocks." 



CATTLE TICK ERADICATION. 



Of course, there are many methods of tick eradication, used 

 either separately or conjointly, the more important and more 

 generally known, however, being dipping, spraying, inoculation, 

 burning the pasture, and starvation methods, the soiling method^ 

 the feedlot method, and the pasture rotation method. These are 

 some of the means at the disposal of the cattle owners, and a few 

 words about each should be of interest and value.
