TO IMPROVE CATTLE |
WHEN TICK IS ERADICATED
3U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICUL
TURE GIVES PRACTICAL ADVICE
FOR AREAS FORMERLY INFEST
ED WITH TICKS.
Washington, D. C-, May 27.—During
the seven years that the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture has been cam
paigning against the tick fever which
annually kills more cattle in the
South than all other diseases com
bined, an area of 198,802 square miles
has been freed from the tick. Details
•of this work against a disease that i 3
• estimated to cost American farmers
$40,000,000 a year are printed in a
mew circular of the Department en

STRAIGHT LINES AND SUPPLE FABRICS
MOST USED FOR SEPARATE COATS
Softly colored plushes are used quite
-extensively for separate coats. The
fur fabrics are smart, many of them
’toeing difficult to distinguish from the
real skins. Baby lamb cloth is espe
cially well woven and attractive for
out of door garments. Entire suits are
being fashioned of it, oftentimes being
trimmed with the real fur. One very
smart coat seen recently was of mole
colored plush with collar and cuffs of
un-spotted ermine. This would be a
charming suggestion for 7633, which is
long of line and well suited to mate
rials of this sort.

titled: “Effects of Tick Eradication
On The Cattle Industry of The South.”
Now comes the question, what plan
is best foT farmers in these redeemed
arees to improve their stock? The fol
lowing are some of the Departments
suggestions in brief:
1. Get Bermuda or carpet grass
started on all pastures. Improve the
pastures further by sowing some les
pedeza rnd bur clot dr on the up
lands, and sow alsike clover, white
clover, and Paspalum dilatatura on
the bottom lands.
2. Grow more hay and other forage j
on which to winter the stock; or, if aj
i with 4% yards of 42 inch plush or
coating material.
The afternoon or “dressup” frock for
the young girl is of necessity simple
and girlish looking. Chiffons and soft
silks are used mostly. In this design
' (7892) a flowered silk is used for the
i blouse and peplum and a plain liberty
: satin for the skirt and vest. A 'plaited
' peplum adds greatly to the appearance
s of this little dress, which is altogether
' youthful and charming,

farmer has as many as 50 or 75 cattle,
erect a silo.
3. Bring in good bulls of the beet
breeds to use for grading up the na
tive cattle. Do not try to raise pure
breeds to begin with.
4. If not able to buy a bull for in
dividual use, form a bull club, and
let each member buy stock in the
bull and place him on some central
farm; or let one man buv the bull and
1
the others obligate themselves to
breed their cows to that bull.
5. Form a community club of a
county live-stock association, so that
members may exchange bulls every
two years in order to get the maxi
mum service from a bull without
breeding him to his offspring. The
members of a club should agree on
what breed they want to use and all
get bulls of the same breed, in order
jthat the community may develope a
j trade and make a reputation as grow
ers of this breed.
6. If the bull is young, do not let
him run with the cows, but keep him
in a separate pasture and give him
some food each day so as to keep him
growing.
7. Do not let a young bull serve a
cow but once. One service is often
better than a half dozen.
8. Heifers of the beef breeds should
not drop calves until they are at least
30 months of age, and should be bred
accordingly
9. Breed the cows so as to calve
during Feburary, March and April.
10. Castrate all male calves at an
iearly age, either before or at weaning
time.
11. Wean the calves in the fall,
about the time the cows are taken
from pasture. Give them plenty of
good bright hay, silage if avalable, and
about 1 pound of cotton seed meal per,
day for the first month after taking
them from the cows. After that they
can be wintered on roughages produc
ed on the place, with a little concen
trate. Oowpeas or lespedeza hay is
especially good for jthe calves, al
though there is no better roughage
than silage.
12. The breeding stock may be
given the run of the stalk fields until
i the middle of winter and then fed on
the roughage about the place the rest
of the winter. As the cows will be
carrying calves, they should not be
permitted to get poor, but should be
kept in g thrifty condition.
13. If possible, dip all of the stock
each spring and fall to keep them free
of lice and to put their skin in good
condition.
14. Farmers who have a number of
cattle will usually have to let the bull
run in the pasture with the cows. If
this is the case, do not put him with
them before May 15 or June 1, and
take him away the Ist of September.
By doing this the calves will be drop
ped in the early spring months. Own
ers of large herds of cattle sliou'd
wherever practicable keep the
in a separate pasture from the breed-]
ing stock, and the bull may be turned I
in with them during the season when
he is not with the cows.
15. Never keep a grade bull for a
sire if a purebred one can be secured.

The natural sequence of the forma
tion of community clubs for breed
ing and raising cattle will be the co
operative shipping to such markets a3
show the greatest demand for the
class of cattle to be sold. In counties
where the farmers are largely raising
one breed of cattle it is not hard to
induce buyers to come, provided there
is considerable stock for sale. One
county might make a speciality of rais
ing cattle for Stocker and feeder pur
poses, while another might finish the
cattle in the feed lots if conditions so"
this are favorable. The quality of cat
tle should improve constantly, and if
it does the prices paid for them will
also increase.

Greater Progress in Infested Areas
Greater progress than before is hop
ed for now in areas that are still in
fested, for the realization of the wont
actually accomplished will spur farm
ers in these districts to push the work
of eradication. More than one-fourtn
of the area originally infected has been
cleaned up to date. It has been actu
ally shown that far better cattle can
be raised when they are not affected
by ticks, and in addition to this, values
of cattle have gone up, so that thj
prospects for concrete results for
those whoeradicate the tick are bright.
The cattle of the southern portion
of the United States vary greatly in
size and quality, according to the loca
tion of the farms and the care which
has been exercised in handling the
herd. The ,native southern cattle are
small in size, variable in color, usually
poor in milking qualities, slow' <•?
growth, and poor in quality from the
standpoint of beef production. Tirs
may be due to a number of causes, verv
prominent among which stands the
cattle tick. These animals could not
grow- normally while young nor de
velop when older while they were in
fested w'ith ticks, which not only de
creased the vitality of the animals by
the drain upon the blood supply, but
weakened and stunted them by trans
mitting the Texas fever.
Then, too, these cattle could not he
improved rapidly by crossing with
good beef animais, because these beef
cattle were usually brought in from
the North and would generally die of
fever before they proved of much ser
vice. This happened so often that the
shipping of good cattle into the South
was discouraged and almost given up
for several years. The scrub was said
to be the only animal which could
withstand the former conditions in the
South, but in reality the animals w'hic l
were submitted to these conditions for
a period of years often deteriorated
until a scrub resulted. Sorub ; cattle
w-ere, therefore, accepted, not because
they were wanted, nor because there
was no desire for better stock, 1 but
because the cattle tick, frequently com
bined with poor treatment, immature
breeding under range conditions, and
often inbreeding for generations, gave
scrubs as a result. This held true for
so many years that the idea became
fixed that only the scrub would live in
the South, despite any precautions that
might be taken or conditions which
might be changed.
How'ever, the use of purebred beef
bulls upon these herds or scrub cows,
especially w hen the herd has been kept
free of ticks, has resulted in such an
improvement in the calves, both as to
size and quality, that the old notion
that good cattle could not be raised in
the South is rapidly being dispelled.
The more progressive farmers in
sections w'here the cattle tick has
been eradicated have purchasel good
bulls to use in grading up their herd -.
The result has been wonderful. High
grade cows, producing deep, broad,
blocky calves that mature into 800 to
000 pound steers at 2 years
replaced the small, cheap scrubs tha*
were formerly on the farm. Scrub
