Tfll? C&T-rijjiS TICK CAUSES GREAE LOSS TO THE DIESTERN FARMERS. lairy Cattle Bot So B^?ly /fleeted But There is Muchf|T oss There, Some Facts. Government ^experts recently sect out to Investigate the ravages of oat* tie tick report that below the quaran tine there are something over 15,000 000 castle, tbe total farm value of which is given by the last census as nearly 8183,000,000. The dairy cat tle are credited with a value of about ' 858.650.000 and the other cattle with over 8124,000 000. From observation and experience It is estimated that a shrinkage in value of 20 per cent in tattle other than dairy cattle is due directly to the effects of the tick. In round numbers this would moan a loss of 825,030,000.for beef cattle. The dairy cattle being better cared for and to a large extent confined Id lots where the tick do not flourish or even exist, suffer less damage. How ever, considerable damage is experi enced In a great many instar cm, es pecially in the cuuntry, because of the extra feed required and the shrink age in the fl ;w of milk caused by tioi infestion. /It is b- lieved that an esti mate of five per cent of the total v&l ue of the dairy cattle is not over charging the tick. This means an an nual loss of nearly 83.000 000 for dairy cattle. The total depreciation of southern;cattle on ac-ount of the tick ?would be 828 000,000. The loss from exposure in the south era states Is partially due to tbe ne gligenos of the people in regard to their cattle. Seldom is any ore vision made for shelter or any additional feed. The excessive loss from expo sere and disease in tbe tick-infested states must be ascribed to the tick. The loss in the states with the most equable climates is greatest because tiok actively is greatest there and the tick season is the longer. The total number of cattle that died in the tick-infested district dur ing the year ending March 81, 19o5, was about 1,250,003, death being due largely to' exposure. This loss const! tutes nearly 50 per cent of the total loss suffered by the whole country, and yet the tiok-infosted states con tain barely 25 per cent of the country cattle. The average value of these southern cattle, both milk and beef breeds^ may be put at 812, according to the bureau of statistics; therefore the total annual loss from death is the tick-infested states amounted to 815,000,000. The average death rate in quarantined states being nearly three times as great as that in the , tick free states, it is cot unfair to as sume that two thirds of this less by aeath is directly attributable to the tiok, that is. 10,000,000. The average value of southern cot tie is 87 below that of northern cattle. In the state of Arkansas beef cattle are given a farm value of 87 50 per head. The cattle of Iowa are value" at 819.42?almost three times as much. If 12,000.000 cattle of better blood could take the place of 12,000, 000 scraps, the valuation of southern cattle would be about 884,000,000 more than it is today. The southern states with the tick gone, would soon double and even treble the number of cat tle in the northern states. One of the greatest benefits that would follow the eradication of the cattle tiok would be tbe increased fertility of the soil that would result Irom a great cattle industry in the south. Instead of exporting as now to foreign countries?over 1,000,000, ? 000 pounds of cotton seed meal year ly, whioh if converted into be?f would bring from 86,000,000 to 810,000,000 mere than is received for it from ? abroad, it could be fed to cattle, and thus would be kept at home the enor- ; mous amount of fertilizer of which the farms are cow robbed, besides se curing the 810,000,000 extra value for tne finished produot. The fertilizer saved to tbe lands of the south would ieprssent 810,000,000 in direct value. It is believed that, all told, th? fiouth loses annually between 8100. 000.000 and 8200,000,00^ tlirough the ravages of the tiok. AMAZES THE RECEIVER. Me Brings Wife't^Ashes to The Bank For Money, At New York on last Thursday af ternoon Antony Pizeczynski carried the ashes of his dead wife to the Mil; waukee avenue State Bank in a vain effort to get a small deposit that had been placed in the bank in bis wife's name. The man presented to Receiver Fet xer a bank book and asked for payment of the dividend declared by the re ceiver. "But that is in your wife's name," said the receiver. ''I know it," said the man. "Well, she will have to come for the money herself. Do you understand me. She will have to be brought here." "I have brought her." "Where is Bhe." "Here," said the man. He held aloft a small tin box. The receiver thought the man was crazed and started to call one of the special offl cars. Something in the visitor's earn est appearance, however, deterred him. Ha slowly unfolded two papers. The first was a certificate of hi* wife's death. Tbe second was a certificate tba! the tin box contained the ashes of hit ?wife, who had bcerj cremated. "Theoompany that cremated m> wife placed her ashes in this box and gave me this certificate tbat it con talned all that was left of her body," said the man. Ashes of the dead bad n^t before been presented to the receiver, and he had the "creeps." "You will have to get letteis of ad minstration in your wife's estate," said the receiver. "After tbat, I'll go to town and talk to my lawers," he added. - 1 ? MM i If a man loves a maid, That's his business. ?????&???>?< H a maid loves a man, That's her business.

Tbe Columbia Record says Wednes day morning a negro cerpenter entio ed the ten-year-old daughter of a well known white oit'zan into a building where he was working. There he ln> suited tbe little girl several times, with grossly Immoral suggestions and obscene actions. She told ber father of the occurrence and he started im mediately for tbe scene. 4 shooting affray that would have terminated fatally, for tbe negro, at least, was probably averted by the appearance of a policeman lust before tbe father's arrival. The negro was locked up forthwith and shortly afterward was g'ven a bearing before city reoorder. Record er Stanley was very sorry that be could not impose a punishment in keeping with the prisoner's offense, but he gave the brute all that the law allowed, a sentence of S100 fine or thirty days, with ten minutes at tbf exoiration of bis time on tbe gang in which to leave the city, never to re turn. The case ^as heard in tbe of fice of Chief of Police Daly, so an to avoid a sensation. Probably this pre caution averted at least an attempt at summary violence by outraged eltizens. The names in tbe case will be withheld from tbe public at the request of Recorder Stanley and Chief Daly, as trruble migbt develop if the facts were generally known. The ne gro was Beared half to death and glad jy promised to leave the city for good tbe minute be is released. While the brute's actions were 8U3b as would c ake tbe blood of every good citizen boll with indignation,, be did not get far enough to bring tb? case within the jurisdiction of th? general Bessionn court. About tbe only way In which be could have beer bandied was through the broad and general terms of the city ordinance regarding fSenses of this nature, and tbe few people arquainted witb th? circumstances are satified thak Dr. Stanley disposed of the matter in the best way.
