practical. We have but few text
books and the students will be taught
by lectures and practical demonstration
in the shop. The consruction and
anatomy of the foot will be explained
and students will be taught how to
make shoes and fit them. Denver
horseshoers are among the most scientific
workers at the trade in the
world, and they became so by educating
themselves in the very things
that are proposed in the new course
at Fort Colins. It is astonishing how
little horsemen know about the feet of
their animals. Most of them seem to
think that any one can nail on a shoe
and that that is all there is to it.
More horses, I believe, are ruined by
faulty shoeing than in any other manner.
From some government investigations
in apple growing now in progress,
it appears that it is going to be
possible to produce annual crops on
varieties of apples which are accustomed
to bear only in alternate years.
War on the Cattle Tick.
Co-operation is assisting largely in
the control of Texas Fever, which, it
is estimated, costs the country in the
neighborhood of $50,000,000 annually.
At the Conference held at Nashville,
Tennessee, at which representatives
of the Bureau of Animal Industry and
State authorities interested in the extermination
of cattle ticks took part,
the attitude of the Bureau toward the
subject was outlined by Chief A. D.
Melvin, and notes on the co-operative
work thus far carried on were presented
by R. P. Steddom. Such work has
been done in nearly all the Southern
States, as the gravity of the problem
is fully recognized. During the first
year of co-operative effort, about 550,-
OOOhead of cattle have been inspected,
•and an area of 50,000 square miles has
been apparently freed from ticks and
released from quarantine. This means
a great boon to this territory and the
results encourage the belief that with
an annual appropriation of $250,000
the cattle tick can be ultimately eradicated.
It is held that tick eradication is
practicable and may be accomplished
by a system of rotation of pastures,
by the starvation plan, by picking or
brushing ticks from the cattle, and by
oiling. It is recommended that cattle
be examined weekly, beginning about
October 15th, and treating with crude
oil so long as any ticks are found.
Under ordinary conditions, a thorough
application in October, will make it
unnecessary to give further treatment
until March. The oil may be applied
with a brush or with a piece of burlap,
and all parts of the cow should
be covered.
Tuberculosis in Cattle and Hogs.
The Bureau of Animal Industry has
made a number of tests showing that
the most important factor in the
spread of cattle tuberculosis is the
