THE GOST OF CATTLE
TIGKS 10 FARMERS
'Cost of Inthilation of Pest
Doubled By Increased
Value of Hides.
;According to figures gathered by
one of the veterinary inspectors of
the Bureau of Animal Industry the
presence of the tick among the cat
tle of the South not only lessens the
value of the cattle on the hoof but
causes the gradings of h!des that
have been infested with ticks as
No. 4 gquality.
The same hide, if free from tick
marks, would grade No. 2. The dif
ference in -price between these two
grades of hides is 3 cents per pound.
As the hide of Southern steers
weighs 42 pounds, the presence of
the tick in the hide causes a loss
in the hide alone of more than $1.26
per hide. Government specialists
point out that' the cost of tick erad
ication is only about 50 cents per
head, so that if the counties make a
svstematic campaign to, eradicate
the tick the increase in value of the
hide alone would pay for the cost
of tick eradication and leave the
farmer a net profit of about 76 cents
per hide,
Tennessee will probably” be the
first state to be entirely free from
guarantine for ticks. It already has
eradicated the tick in 51 counties
and all that now remain under guar
antine are parts of Marion, Wayne,
Hardeman, McNairy and Decatur
counties and all of Hardin, Hender
son and Chester counties. It is hop
ed that by Sept. 1 these counties will
be free from ticks and the entire
state out of quarantine.
According to the specialists of the
[)epai't"tnent‘ of Agriculture, it has
cost*less than 50 cents per head to
eradicate the tick in Tennessee, and
the cattle owners as a result have
gained not less than $7.00 per head,
thus adding to the value of their
stock. There are some 500.000 cat
tle in the counties already free from
ticks, and the immediate benefit to
these owners has been not less than
$3,500,000. The cost of tick erad
ication has been only $250,000, so
that the investment paid for itself
nearly 14 times over in a very short
time. This does not include the ad-

'TRIBUTE TO MISS
~ SUSIE BUTTOLPH
' In the death of Miss Susie M,
‘ Buttolph, there passes from Marietta
. the Buttolph name which, for over
| forty years has stood for all that
!is best and highest and noblest in
| life.
’ It has meant a faith in God that
{ had the unquestioning trust of youth
"and the restful peace of old age.
! Not long after the close of the
"ecivil war, Rev. D. L. Buttolph be
'came the pastor of the Presbyterian
Ichurch of Marietta and moved here
with his little family. From a child
'Susie, his only daughter, was mark
~ed for her unusual mind with its
keen wit and wonderful memory in
| which countless gems of poetry,
prose, and the word of God were
stored.
Her record at Shorter College,
Rome, Ga., was a credit to herself
and an honor to the schooi. For
some years she devoted her time to
her pencil and brush but when God
called her brother, Wallace, to high-
er service, the burden of the home
and the care of her aged father and
mother fell upon her shoulders and
all was laid aside quietly and with
out one outward sign of regret. But
the love of it smoldered in the heart
through the many years of nursing
and brooding care. When the aged
couple passed over the river, Miss
Buttolph renewed her art and in
1911 went to Europe where she
studied sculpture under one of the
finest teachers in Paris.
‘A bust of her young niece and
traveling companion was the fruit
of her winter's work and such was
its beauty and merit that it gained
a place in Le Salon in Paris, an
honor which many artists strive for
all their lives and never attain, In
the official catalogue for 1912 ap
bears the entry: ‘“Buttolph (Miss
Susy) nee a Marietta, Georgia
(Amerique) eleve de M. de Marcilly
Rue de Chateau,Briand 11— 3322
Portrait de Miss M. P. bust plaitre.”
"~ On returning to Marietta she !
added a studio to her home and an
ambition to accomplish great things '
was stirred within her. But al-!
ready death had cast its shadow up- |
on her and the bars of health were
ditional profits which come from theg
fact that now that the cultivated
fields are made more productive byl
the increase of the amouynt of ferti-!
lizer now available. ' {

' MR. R. E. BUTLER EXPRESSES
’ HIS VIEWS ON ADVERTISING
l Mr. R. E. Butler raa ffteen “#or
| Sale” locals in the Journal last week
and tells us that “It don’t do to ad
vertise” because you cannot keep any
; thing. That sounds good as it shows
there is some money lying loose.
He has some good offers and there
iare several of hig ad. in again this
i week. Advertising and real estate are
;the surest and quickest ways to a
bank account and that is one of the
all important things today.
Put your money in the bank and
into real estate it will grow fast in
either case.
Read the bank and real estate ads
in the Journal there is money and
"gecurity in them both.

let down slowly and steadily. On
Thursday, Aug. 21, her weary soul
slipped from its prison of pain and
anguish to the freedom of her Heav
enly home,
If we were asked for Miss But
tolph’s chief characteristics we would
say, her power to win friends and
the gift of ‘making a sorry world
laugh. Whether her friendship was
offered to those in her own walk of
life or to the humble servants in her
kitchen, its quality was the same,
faithful and selt sacrificing.
Underneath the tossing billows of
sorrow that swept over her life was
found:
“That peace which suffers and is
strong, .
Trusts where it cannot see,
Deems not the trial way too long,
But leaves the end with Thee;
That peace which, though the bil
lows surge,
And angry tempests roar,
Rings forth no melancholy dirge,
But joyeth evermore; .
That peace which flows serene and
deep,
A river in the soul, :
Whose banks a living verdure keep,
Gods’ sunshine o'er the whole.”
