An Intimate knowledge of the life history of the <? j?111<- tick la neces Htiry to those who have the pest in coittend with in order that they may wage their battle more Intelligently and at the aamu time aecure better iimi greater reaulta. A knowledge ol tin- mannor in which the tick propa gutes can not rail to be of value in tho war of extermination now being carried on against it in the South. Only a part ol tho development of tin- tii k taken place on the host (ani mal), while the remainder occurs in the puHturc. The female tick, which Is attached to the . kin of tin- host, lucrcuaeH enormously in size iik ti re suit of ilrawiug liberal quantities of hiooii, und when fully engorged drops to the groUud, where ?./.'? .it once he gins to Keareli for :i suitable hiding place thai will Herve aa ;i protection from the sun and enemies. Tho fe male ticks may be devoured by birds, destroyed by nuts, or may perish us the result of unfavorable conditions, such as. for example, l<?w tempera tun', lack of moisture, etc., so that muny may be destroyed without hav ing laid any eggs. Kgg-laying begins during the spring, summer, and fall mouths in - tu liu days and during the winter months in i : to !?8 days. The eggs aro ?mall, eliptlnal-shaped bodies, of ;i ligbl am ber color that later chnngos to dark bt'owii, one-Ill i let h of an inch in length, coated with a sticky secretion that causes them to adhere in eins lera and keepn them from drying out. During ogg-laylug the tick .gradually shrink:; to about one-third or one fourth her former size. The egg-lay lug period contiuueH tor from t days in the sammer to im beginning in the fall, and during this period from evoral hundred to .".nun eggs may be deposited. The mother tick then i|i<? within a few days. in from 10 days tin Hummer) to 188 days (in fall or winter) after u,,. eggs have been deposited they begin to batch. Prom each one IsSUC! ;i small, oval, six-legged seed ticl<. at first amber colored, later changing to a rieh brown. Alter crawling slowly 11 bout the sin II it usually remains quiescent for several days: then it displays great activity, especially if the weather is warm, and ascends the nearest hit of vegetation, auch aa grass, herbs, or Rlirnbs. since each female lays her eggs at one KpOt, thousands of newly hatched ticks or larvae will appear at the same place and later will ascend near by grass stems and collect oil the blades. This accounts for the brown masses of larvae observed clinging in vegetation in pastures or on fence posts. This upward Instinct of the ticks Increase:, their chance! of leach ing a host, fur when the VOgOlUlioiI is disturbed they become very active, ox lending their long legs violently up ward in an attempt to sol'/.e hold of a host. I mi Ing its lite in t he past ure i he seed lick lakes no food and hence dues not increase in size, ami mile I it reaches a ho i it die.-, of starvation. This tact |a significant and Is taken advantage of in the work of extermi nating the tii ks Their endurance, however, is ver> great, ami under cer tain conditions Ihoy have been found tu live without nourishment nearly eight months during 'lie colder part of the year. The length ui the period rrom the time females drop until all tin- seed ticks hatching from the eggs laid by them are dead, or in other words, the time required for pa lures to become free of licks alter all cattle, hoi es, ami mules have been excluded, varies with (he season of the yi.tr. bollig shorloal during Ihe warm pan of the year and lunge:.t during the cold part of the year. Kor example, all Ihe seed ticks resulting from females dropped Juno Ifi will be dead by No Vombor i, a period of lour and one half months; hut some of those result lug from female:, dropped September i may survive until the following July, a period of ten months. Another phase of development he gins when the lick reaches a favora ble lost, such as a cow. It usually attaches itself to the skin of the c>. cutcheon, the inside of the thighs and Hanks, or lu the dewlap. It at once beginn to draw blood and Increase In size. In a few days it changes from broWfl to while. In from ."> to 12 dftyfl it sheds Its skin, the new form having eight instead of six legs ami holtlg known as a nymph. In an ollmr R to ii days after the first uridt the nymph sheds Its skin and hccomOH sexually mature, and il is at tills stage that males and females are eoilKpiC nous for the llrsl time. The male emerges as a hrown oval tick rhoul one tenth of an Inch In length. Hav ing reached the full measure of Iiis growth he displays greater activity In moving flbotlt on the host.
