THE CATTLE FEVER TICK. 



Photograph of ticks on a steer's hide. 



Perhaps the people in your red county also are 

 getting tired of ticks. Perhaps they, too, are 

 beginning to build vats and are getting ready to 

 drive their cattle through the medicine. 



Ask your father about this. If he says that your 

 county is not getting rid of ticks, then ask him to 

 read this little story carefully. Tell him ii means 

 dollars and cents to him whether he owns any cattle 

 or not.
