Overview

Excerpt from The Story of the Cattle-Fever Tick: What Every Southern Child Should Know About Cattle Ticks This story book tells you why so many cows and steers and calves in the South get sick and die. I know that you would rather see fat. Healthy cattle than thin and sick ones. Most cattle that die of sickness in the South die from the bites of cattle-fever ticks. The ticks carry tick fever from sick animals to healthy ones. Other names for tick fever are redwater and murrain. Some cattle that the ticks bite do not die, but the fever ticks prevent them from ing as much milk or growing into as good meat animals as otherwise would. This story book tells how to get rid of these robber ticks that bite cattle and suck their blood. The best way to fight ticks is to build dipping vats and make the cattle swim through a medicine that kills the ticks. The medicine doesn't hurt the cattle at all. In many counties people have got rid of ticks that way and now are sending to market the milk and meat that the ticks used to steal. Get your father and mother to read this story book and to help fight cattle-fever ticks. I hope you will like this little book and show it to your friends.
