HOW CATTLE TICKS
SPREAD TEXAS FEVER
BY EXTERMINATING THE TICK
THE DISEASE CAN BE STAMP¬
ED OUT AND THE QUAR¬
ANTINE. REMOVED.
Tine microscopis parasite which
causes the disease known as Texas
fever or tick fever of cattle is found
in the blood of affected animals and is
transferred from one to another by
means of the fever tick. A remark
ble feature of this transfusion is that
the disease-producing parasites are
transmitted through the eggs of the
tick has drawn the blood, and not-di¬
rectly by the old tick, as an engorged
tick after dropping from the host
dies without ever attaching itself to
another animal. But its offspring,
produced by the eggs laid after it is
dropped and before it dies carry the
infection and inocuate the first cow
they get on.
The length of time elapsing be¬
tween the exposure of susceptible cat
tie to Infection by ticks and the ap¬
pearance of Texas fever among them
is dependent upon climate and the
development of the ticks. Thus, if
northern cattle are placed on pastures
highways, or in pens, cars, etc., in the
summer immediately after the premi¬
ses have been infested with ticks
from southern cattle, Texas fever may
occur in from thirty to sixty days, as
the female ticks which drop from
southern cattle must lay eggs and
these must hatch before the northern
animal becomes infested with ticks
and thereby inoculated with the dis¬
ease. After the seed ticks becoru^
attached to the animal the disease
will appear in about ten days in sum¬
mer or a somewhat longer period in
winter. In fact, the disease may oc¬
cur before the ticks are large enough
to be seen without a very careful
search.
One objecUon. that has been advanc
ey against the fact that the catle
tick is a carrier of Texas fever is
that cattle are sometimes found to be
suffering iwith he disease without the
presence of ticks on their bodies.
This condition in the case of southern
cattle may be explained by the fact
that the animal already had its blood
infected with the parasites and under
normal conditions was resistant to
Texas fever; however, as a result of
lowered vitality caused by some other
disease or by exposure, privation in¬
jury, rough handling, etc., this resis¬
tance has been reduced and finally
overcome, and the parasites at last
succeed in producing the disease.

is observed in northern animals, the
young seed tick may be so small and
so few in number as to be unobserved.
Under certain conditions, as when
pving on horses, mules, etc., the
ticks lose their infectiousness, and
when southern cattle not previously
infested with any but these nonlnfec
* ous ticks come in contact with in¬
fectious teks they are just as suscep¬
tible as cattle raised on “lck-free pas¬
tures.
Many cattle appear perfectly healthy
and yet are infused with ticks and
have the fever parasite in their
blood. Sometiimes the owners can not
understand why aimals should be re¬
garded as dangerous to others and con
slder it unjust that they should be
subjected to quarantine restrictions.
The fact is that such cattle have us¬
ually contracted the disease in a very
mild form at an early age and have
become immune to other attacks, al¬
though still carrying the parasites in
their blood. They are dangerous be¬
the fever parasites In their
blood may be transmitted at any
to susceptible cattle by ticks.
While the disease may be produc¬
artificially by inocculating a sus¬
ceptible animal w’ith the blood of an
infected one, it is spread naturally
only by the ticks. By exterminating
the ticks, therefore, the disease can
be stamped out, and the quarantine
can then be removed.
The discovery of the part played
by the tick in the spread of Texas
fever was made by the Bureau of
Animal industry in the United States
Department of Agriculture in 1891,
and the same principle has since been
found to apply to the transmission of
malaria and yellow fever from man
by mosquitoes, and to the spread of
certain other diaaeses.

JOHN GAMP KILLED
DURING HAIL STORM
NEWTON COUNTY FARMER HIT
BY LIGHTENING DURING HAIL
STORM—CROPS IN NORTH
ERN PART OF COUNTY
DESTROYED
John Camp, a farmer living in the
northern section of the county was kil
ed by lightening during a hard hail
storm that visited Newton county
Sunday afternoon. Crops around Mace
donia section were damaged by the
storm.
Mr. Camp was forty years old. He
had been a citizen of Newton county
for some time and was counted one of
the most influential farmers of his
section. He was prosperous and
owned farm lands in Alabama as well
as in this county. He is survived
by a widow and one niece.
The farmers of that section of the
county received a set back in their
work by the hail which beat down the
young plants and damaged everything
it hit. Windows were broken, chick¬
ens killed and big guleys washed in
the fields by the rain that followed
the hail.

At Dickens, a life term convict on
the Walton county chaingang escaped
from the camp in Walton County near

ton. The Walton authorities had tel¬

lookout for him and before twelve
o’clock that night he was in Newton
county jail. Sheriff Hay and Deputy

tne Covington Mill. Dickens is the
nian who killed Roseberry at Social
and shot another man.
