Fighting the Cattle Tick. 
The Department of Agriculture has 
started a campaign against the Southern 
cattle tick, urging farmers to have their 
cattle dipped and to carry out other plans 
for cleaning out this pest. This insect 
causes great damage at the South. Most 
of our Northern people do not fully 
realize what a nuisance this small in¬ 
sect becomes in the districts of the 
South where it is permitted to grow un¬ 
disturbed. The Department makes the 
following statement regarding the work 
of this little insect. 
Ticks take as much as 200 pounds of 
blood a year from a 1.000-pound steer; 
in the case of a cow that ought to be giv¬ 
ing eight quarts of milk a day, ticks will 
cut the milk yield down as much as 3 
1-3 quarts a day. 4\ o are going to drive 
home the fact that ticks reduce the home 
price of meat animals from one-half to 
one cent a pound ; that they prevent the 
introduction of high-grade beef animals, 
and of dairy strains that increase the 
milk and butt.erfat. yield. The tick pre¬ 
vents bankers from lending money to pro¬ 
mote the livestock industry, keeps down 
the fertility and production of farm and 
makes the farmers pay .$50,000,000 a 
year to supply, the tick with its never- 
ceasing barbecue of blood. 
It has done the South even more harm 
than the cotton insect, and now is the 
time when with high -prices for beef the 
South has its best opportunity for real¬ 
izing a profit in cleaning up this insect. 
There is no question about the value of 
such work, and dipping with oil appears 
to be the most practical way of cleaning 
the pest off the cattle. Dipping vats 
are erected where the cattle can be 
driven through them and given a thor¬ 
ough soaking in oil. 
Hog Dead from Heat. 
“Dad will give me fits,” said the 1G- 
year-old boy as a nice 200-pound porker 
was drawn from the stock rack dead from 
heat. 
“But dad couldn’t have done any bet¬ 
ter,” said the stock buyer. 
“What could I have done? Dad and I 
chased him all over the lot before he 
rounded him up to load him, and the pig 
was tired out, heated up and about all in 
before I started.” 
“I guess dad was more to blame than 
I,” the boy mused»as he drove home. “He 
gave the pigs an awful feed of sour milk 
and all the other truck that he could stuff 
into them, then chasing this fellow about 
has cost him a lot, and he didn’t have 
the nerve to come down and face the 
stock buyer, and weigh up.” 
The stock buyer told the boy a few 
things to do. Cut some green boughs and 
spread over the wagon when hauling pigs 
to town, or cover the wagon with a can¬ 
vas or an old carpet saturated with 
water. Wet the hogs down with cold 
water from a well when they get to 
panting badly, or even if it is con¬ 
venient place some pieces of ice in the 
wagon rack. A liberal wetting down of 
the rack and bed of the wagon will keen 
it cool. Pastured hogs will stand haul¬ 
ing and shipping much better than close¬ 
ly confined pigs. w. J. 
Hard Milker. 
T have a young Holstein cow (second 
calf) whose right, hind quarter of the 
udder seems to hold up the milk. It takes 
about two seconds for the teat to get milk 
in it. All other teats flow 7 easily. She 
is not a hard milker but slow; it takes 
about 25 minutes to milk the oue teat. 
She has been this way since she calved 
five weeks ago. She gives a big mess of 
milk, so would not like to sell her for 
beef. E. F. P. 
New York. 
It would be best to dry off milk secre¬ 
tion in that quarter as the obstruction is 
high up in the udder aud practically in¬ 
curable. Interference w 7 ould be likely to 
cause infection aud that might spread to 
the sound quarters and ruin the udder 
for dairying. A. s. A. 
Indigestion. 
I have a Jersey cow 7 that seems to 
be off her feed. She is in pasture and 
has been feeling all right till the last tw T o 
days. She stands listless with her ears 
lapped back and does not chew her cud, 
seemed dull. F. A. T. 
Maine. 
A sudden attack of indigestion would 
cause such symptoms aud it is well in 
such cases to withhold feed for 24 hours 
and at once give a physic composed of 
one pound of epsom salts, a cupful of 
salt and a cupful of black strap molasses 
shaken up in three pints of warm water 
and administered slowly and carefully 
from a long necked bottle. Alcoholic stim¬ 
ulants may then be given every four 
hours in coffee. a. *s. a. 
Forage Poisoning. 
Would you describe the symptoms or 
effects of feeding moldy feed, corn stover 
and moldy corn, to cows and other stock, 
and the remedy? There seems to be con¬ 
siderable trouble in this section and some 
of us are not aware of the cause. 
Cayuga Co., N. Y. g. e. r. 
Moldy nubbins and corn and other 
moldy feed in the corn stalk field causes 
the disease once termed “cornstalk dis¬ 
ease” and now known as forage poison¬ 
ing. The animal becomes impacted with 
dry feed and dies. Often it causes crazi¬ 
ness before death and paralysis may also 
ensue. A full dose of physic, followed by 
stimulants, may save lifefif given in time 
and in some causes opening of the rumen 
and removal of the impacted feed w 7 ild 
prove remedial; but usually the animals 
are too far gone to recover after the vet¬ 
erinarian is called in. Prevention is all 
important. No moldy feed should be 
given. a. s. A. 
The two amendments to the by-laws 
submitted for the vote of the members 
of the American Jersey Cattle Club on 
July 9th last have both been adopted, 
and are now in force. Art. III., Sec. 14 
-—Fees—is amended by the insertion, 
after the line, “To non-members $2.00 
each,” of a new paragraph as follows: 
“In all cases wherein record of birth has 
not been filed within GO days of the date 
of birth, and also in all cases wherein 
the animal is over two years old at the 
date of application, an additional fee of 
$1.00 shall be imposed. Where applica¬ 
tion to register an animal is made within 
GO days of birth, the record of birth here¬ 
in mentioned need not be filed.” Art. VI. 
of the by-laws is amended by adding a 
new section as follows: “Test Associa¬ 
tion Records —3. The Board of Directors 
may record and use the yields of both 
purebred and grade Jersey cows estab¬ 
lished through testing associations, pro¬ 
viding the same comply with such rules 
as the Board of Directors may adopt.”
