W AI* I NU (illK VT WAR AUAINST TICKS Government 'Mans to Completely hradi rate Ticks Which arc Infecting all the l-'armcrs of Southern States. The Bureau of Animal Industry of the United States Department of Agri culture is resuming active operations for the eradication of the cattle ticks which prevail in the southern part of the country and transmit the contagion of Texas fever of cattle. Its men are being sent into the field ami prepara tions are being made to push the work of extermination vigorously during the warm weather, when the ticks are most active. Since this work was begun, two years ago, a area of about Tili,00(1 square miles, or almost the size of the Slate of Georgia, has been freed from tin; ticks. As a result the quarantine on southern cattle has been either modified or en tirely removed from this area. Last year work was done to a greater or less extent in the States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Ala bama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas. Oklahoma. Louisiana, Texas and California, and it is proposed this year to continue in flu; same States with the addition of a small portion of Mississippi. Most <>f the work has been and will continue to be done in sections contiguous to the quarantine line, the object being to push the line farther south from year to year; but encour agement is given to local work in any part of the quarantined district in the assurance that when any considerable area is rendered lick free it will be re leased from quarantine. The work is being done by coopera tion between the Federal Government and the State and local authorities. Congrca has appropriated $2130,000 for the year beginning duly 1st and it is expected that the States and counties where the work is carried on will dupli cate this sum. The committee on ap propriations of the House of Represen tatives expressed itself very strongly to the effect that the States should bear a reasonable share of the cost and that the Federal work should he mainly con fined to States where cooperation is re ceived. Various moth ?da for exterminating the ticks are used, including trans ferring the cattle from pasture to pas ture at suitable intervals, and dipping, spraying and hand dressing the cattle with oil and oil emulsion. In sections where there are large herds and large ranches dipping on a large scale is prac ticed, cither alone or in connection with pasture rotation, while in other sec tions, where the cattle on some farms frequently consist only of a cow or an ox team, hand dressing with oil is found to he the only practicable method. The damage caused by the ticks and the benefits to follow from their eradi cation are not generally appreciated. It is estimated that the Texas fever tick is responsible for about $40,000,000 of loss annually to the people of the in fected country, and that it also lowers the assets of the South by an additional $23,260,000, making the enormous ag gregate of $03,250,000. To wipe out this heavy loss is the object of tin? work now under way, and tue results already accomplished leave no doubt that suc cess is possible, though a number of years will be required for the comple tion of the undertaking. Much de pends upon the cattle owners, who can either hasten or retard progress accord ing as they COOporatC?r refuse to assist in the work. Literature giving full information as to the ticks, the disease which they transmit, and methods for their eradi cation has been issued by the Depart ment of Agriculture and will be sup plied free of charge on application to the Chief of the Cureau of Animal In dustry.

"For several weeks I was unable to do anything. On March 18, lf?(>7, I had a similar attack and took Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy which gave me prompt relict. I consider it one of the best medicines of its kind in the world and had I used it in 1902 believe it would have saved me a hundred doctor's bill." Sold by Lnurcns Drug Co.

Criticised for his attitude on the whis key question William J. Bryan has is sued the following statement: "I have received many letters from prohibitionists and many from oppo nents ot prohibition and 1 have an swered thcrn all in the same way. I , have told them that I did not regard the question as a national question. While it is an issue in a number of States, I do not expect it to b^ made an issue by either the Republican or Democratic national convention. I have made it a rule not to discuss questions outside the platform because the candi date has no right to inject issues which his platform excludes. "In answer to questions about my own record on tin; subject, I have stated that so far as my personal habits go 1 am a teetotaller, never having used liquor as a beverage; but in 1800 I voted against the State prohibition amendment because I thought the li cense system we had, with local option, was better suited to the conditions wo had to meet in our State. "When an attempt has been made to draw conclusions from this as to what ought to be done in other Slates I call attention to the fact that State laws ought to be made to meet the conditions existing in the State and that what 1 did in Nebraska could not be a guide in Stales where; conditions were different. "In other words, I have refused to give advice on the question in other States because 1 am not sufficiently in formed as to the conditions in the vari ous States; and I have refused to dis cuss it as a national question because I do not expect it an issue in the cam paign." Mr. Bryan and Charles A. Towne, of New York, attended the meeting to night of the Lincoln Bryan Club. Both made addresses out lining the issues of the coming national campaign. Help for Those Who Have Stomach Trouble. After doctoring for about twelve years for a bad stomach trouble, and spending nearly five hundred dollars for medicine and doctors' fees, I purchased my wife one box of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets, which did her so much good that she continued to use them and they have done her more good than all of the medicine I bought before.

Washington, .Inno 30. Much interest is being manifested at tlwi present time in the vital questions of cotton seed se lection and the better treatment of the soil and in the general methods oi cul ture. In addition to the gathering of statistics and keeping of records by the census bureaus of the United Stal government several bureaus of the De partment of Agriculture, working in conjunction with the Slate bui'< atl I, experiment stations and demonstration farms, are rendering the cotton grow ers valuable assistance. Especially noteworthy arc the endeavors of the Bureau of Plant Industry, who gestions, based upon practical demon strations, may be briefly summarized as follows: 1. Betterdrainago of the soil. 2. Use of more horse power and bel ter implements. '.\. Deep fall plowing, without bri ig ing the subsoil to the surface, and a deeper and more thoroughly pulverized seed bed. 4. Increased quantities of humus or decomposed vegetable and animal n.al - ter, in the soil, accompanied by I he use of leguminous crops, such as peas, ? tc, and by barnyard manure, farm refuse and commercial fertilizer. 5. Ample space between r< WH and plants according to the soil and i!,. 6. Careful selection and improvement of seed. 7. Rapid tillage during the growi lg period. 8. Rotation of crops. The results of vast experience in cot ton growing are collected in Cue pamph lets issued by the census bureau and the department of agriculture and cot ton growers general!;/ would profit greatly by reading and heedh ??. them.
