Experiments Being Made by Cattle
Men Throughout the State in
Stamping Out the Cow Tick.
The following letter comes from a
gentleman in Oconee cdunty who is
much interested in the work of erad
icating the tick pest from cattle. In
co-operation with Dr. Klein, former
State Veterinarian, he made exper
iments on his own farm, which re
sulted successfully; and he publishes
his experience, together with his per-
the benefit of other cattle owners in
the State who may be interested, Mr.
Powers, State Veterinarian, of Clem-
son College, says that since the ticks
were ^eradicated from this gentle
man’s place several changes have
been made in the methods of disin
fection; that in the place of heavy
crude* petroleum, which was used on
his cattle, a preparation called
“United States Tick Emulsion” is
now used, and this, he says, may be
purchased in almost every town in
the counties in which the tick-eradi
cation work is being conducted. This
is much cheaper than oil, is aosoiuie
ly harmless to the animal—in fact,
in some cases, even beneficial—and
can be applied by means of a spray
pump.
The Oconee gentleman says:
"Some three years ago my place
became badly infested with cattle
ticks, and in consequence my cattle
were poorer the first of November
than on the first of July. Soon after,
Dr. Ellenburg, of the United States
Veterinary Department, accompan-
'ied by Dr. Shealy, assistant veterin
arian of Olemson College, came to
my place inspecting the condition of
the cattle tick in Oconee County.
Prom their representation of the his-1
lory and habitat of the tick, I saw at'
once the feasibility of eradicating!
them* from our county.
From Dr. Ellenburg's report and
the plausible probability of eradicat
ing the tick from the Piedmont sec ’
tion, the authorities at Washington ,
directed the State Veterinarian of;
Clemson College to take charge of the!
work and carry out the designs of j
the government to free the State!
from the tick infection. In August j
following 1 fortunately met former j
Stale Veterinarian, Dr. Klein, of i
Clemson College, at the Farmers’ In
stitute at Oakway, who explained
to me the plan of extermination and
asked me if 1 would co-operate with
him in conducting some experiments
he would make at the expense of the
(’ailed States Government? I cheer
fully seized the opportunity and gave
him all the assistance I could, espec
ially in carrying out his instructions
on my own farm: and. having fully
tested the plan of eradication pro
posed I can candidly assert that the
plan was a perfect success, and if
faithfully adhered to and executed
there would be no ticks iu another
year in the county.
From what I have learned of their
history and mode of propagation, will
say that now Is the most propitious
time of the year to begin the work
of extermination, ^nd I further be
lieve that if the cattle were watched
closely from now until frost, and not
allow any ticks to mature on the cat
tle, there would be a possible chance
that you would not see any ticks the
coming year, because the eggs de
posited at this time would be hatch
ed out by the heat of the sun, and If
not permitted to get on the cattle
would perish on the grass for want
of sustenance, or he killed by the first
frost of the season. A few ticks pos
sibly might take shelter under old
logs and pass the winter in a dor
mant state, but would finally perish
in the spring if not allowed to get on
the cows. It would be wise to burn
off the pasture to destroy this class
where it was safe to use fire.
We found a heavy crude petroleum
oil from the TTeaumont fields of Tex
as effective, but any heavy oil would
do. though it might require more fre
quent application. This oil lasts as
a preventative for about four or five
weeks, .and does not affect materially
the health,of the cow, does not inter
fere with the flow of milk, nor affect
the quality of either milk or butter.
In mosr cases there was an improve
ment after application. One appli
cation would now prevent any tick
from maturing before cold weather,
and then one application, about May
1st, would take up and destroy any
that might have passed the winter.
This is my personal experience,
and observation of tick infection, and
I have not. seen a tick on my cattle
this year. Therefore, I urge our peo
ple who own cattle to co-operate with
the department In their efforts to rid
this groat scourage from the cattle
industry. T would not advise any
thing that would injure any one, but
I advise you- knowingly and candid
ly to go to work and help solve the
problem of tick eradication from this
county and our whole State.’’

Cut-Over Forests in a
Generally.
Washington, Oct. 31.—The Nation
al Conservation Commission is com
piling for publication in a single
volume all the laws aud court de
cisions, both State and Federal,
which relate to the use of water In
the United States. This manual will
be of immense practical value and it
is somewhat remarkable, considering
the wide number of interests which
are touched by- these laws, that no
such compilation has been made be
fore this. With the constantly grow
ing demand for interstate water
ways .the Increasing utilization of
water power for the development of
electricity, and the widening areas
of semiarid Western plants that are
being made arable through irrigation,
these laws at the present time affect
the interests of a wide variety of in
dividuals and corporations, and in
the immediate future the number
whose business is directly touched
will beyond doubt be greatly in
creased.
Tlte work which the National Con
servation Commission is doing along
this line is extremely thorough and
the compilation will be complete. Tt
will include all State and National
statutes and all court decisions which
concern water rights and kindred
questions on both navigable and non-
navigable streams and lakes. The
citations will include all acts which
relate to riparian rights .and public
usufruct of water, and all statutes
which concern mills, pollution of
water, interference with navigation
or the use of streams for power, dam
ming of streams, diverting stream-
flow. and so on—in short, all acts
which affect the use of waters and
tneir private appropriation to power
or other purposes. In the book will
be included also some authoritative
discussions of the principles involv
ed in these laws.
The National Conservation Com
mission in its endeavor to make the
compilation absolutely complete and
accurate has called upon the gover
nors of all the States for assistance
and the replies in every instance
have promised support. Considerably
more than half the States have al
ready appointed State Conservation
Commissions for the specific purpose
of co-operating with the National
Commission in its work of gathering
the material which will be embodied
in the report to the president the
fii'jt of tlte year. In the other States
the State officials whose work most
nearly touches this project are at
work.
A single volume eontaining all the
laws which bear upon the use of
waters in the various parts of the
country, will be an exceedingly use
ful reference handbook. It holds
possibilities of an even greater use
fulness in that it will exhibit within
limits that make ready comparison
possible, not only the general tenden
cies of the laws and decisions on this
subject, but the discrepancies that
exist between the regulations of dif
ferent States.
The fear is frequently ‘ expressed
that the tendency towards monopo
lization of water power, which has
already made very great progress in
some parts of the country, will re
sult in practically all of this extreme
ly valuable natural resource passirtg
from the people as a whole into the
hands of comparatively a few men,
with resulting higher eost of water
power and water-developed electric
ity to consumers and a tremendous
advantage to the few possessors. If
this danger is justified by the present
laws, it. is a matter of great impor
tance to make this fact apparent at
once. For this purpose nothing could
be more effective than such a pre
sentation of all the laws on the sub
ject as that which the commission
is preparing.
RAVENEL’8 MAN DISAPPEARS.
Mr. E. J. Baker, Missing Since Octo
ber 10, Cannot be Found.
Haveners, Oot. 31.—Mr. E. J. Ba
ker left his home at this place, on
the 10th instant under circumstances
that led to the conclusion that his
mind was unbalanced. The family
have opposed all publication, believ
ing that they would succeed in trac
ing him. They now invoke the aid
of -the newspapers.
Mr. Baker was a general favorite,
possessing, in addition to his capa
city as a mechanic, a genial dispo
sition and being kind and obliging
to all. He is fit years of age. On
the day of his disappearance his wife
went to her father's on an errand for
him, and while she was gone he wrote
a letter to her, couched in the most,
endearing terms, telling her that he
was going awav and that, she must
not grieve for him. He then packed
his grip and left. The letter stated
that he was going to the sea to take
his last bath and that he did not
want any one to see him after he was
dead. But he went towards Adams
Run and was tracked nearly to that
place . Nothing has been heard of
him since he left. There was no do
mestic trouble, and he was making
ts very much distressed over the
money and doing well. Mrs. Baker
matter.
Wise and Otherwise.
Peter Wise living near Omega had
the surprise of his life when he pull
ed a setting hen off the nest that she
had made on the edge of a straw-
stack. When he lifted her yp, in
stead of a brood of chickens or a
batch of spoiled eggs, there was a
bunch of snakes, little sleek black
fellows, each about seven inches
long and wriggling furiousjv. Mr.
Wise promptly dispatched the snakes,
eleven in number and wrung the
hen’s neck. He had no use for a fool
hen that could not tell the difference
between a snake’s egg and her own
product.
