food conaervatloc measure which will also contribute very materially to the prosperity of the state. Benefit of Eradication. The benefit to be derived from eradicating tbe tick is «hown by the Improved conditions after quarantine has been lifted. Restriction* on slitpinenta of cattle have been removed, tbe loss from tick fever has been eliminated, more cattle are being raised, and a better grade of breeding stock It being Introduced. Calve* grow faster, cattle put on flesh more rapidly during the grazing season and go into tbe winter In better condltloo because of the rhaence of the tick. Dairy cows give a greater yield of milk, r.nd the values of farm land are enhanced. In appearance the cattle show a marked contrast since the tick a** been eradicated. Pure-bred cattle have been brought in from other sections to Improve tbe native breed without any loss from fever. The Southern animals can enter the show ring of the North without restrictions. Result In Mississippi. In Mlssisalppl. the first Southern state to have all Its territory removed from quarantine, which opened n wedge to tbe gulf, the state-wide eradication law, passed In 1816. Is regarded by many aa one of the most progressive pieces of legislation enacted In the state for many years. The Mississippi commissioner of agriculture says that If the necessity for such a had been realized four years prior ts passage. Mississippi would no doubt be tbe greatest cattle-producing state In the Union at the present time. The people who were responsible for getting this law on the statute books foresaw tbe possibilities for the permanent developtoent of Mississippi's resource* and turning Into profit the abundance of pasture grass which had annually gone to waste or was eaten by unthrifty cattle to make blood to

feed ticks.

Work In Louisiana. Louisiana passed a state-wide tick eradication law in 1817. and at the time It was under consideration planters. cattlemen and others throughout the state hastily zent to their various lawmakers ■ flood of telegrams urging them to support tbe measure. This state-wide law did not become effective until the first of last April. Records show that during March 230.000 dippings were made under strte or federal supervision, while In April tha figures leaped lo 1.700.000 and !n creased to over 2,000.000 during exA of the following two months. Ioaisle nu demonstrated that a state cannot afford to wait on a few uninformed stockmen who arc opposed to dipping cattle and who bare failed to ndrlaa themselves of the benefits to be derived from complete eradication.

Revive Work of Old Master*. This question of weight and tlierefore praetlrahlllty of armor for the man on foot—tne man who makes a elmrge—reverts to the time of I-nuls ! XV of Trance, when the n*e of defensive protection bad practically disappeared and an nttc-.npt was tunde to revive the steel helmet. Indeed, the development of armor from tbe lime of side arms until the u*o of firearms Is one of exceeding Interest nt this time. In that the government Is reviewing the work of some of the greatest of the old masters In armor making, with a view to reinstating the best and most feasible of the old methods of defensive protection. The use of armor date* hark to the ninth century R. C. und tn-rainr more elaborate and complex until tbe introdn on of gunpowder. The helra.l wns the .irst body protection to appear snd was followed by the cuirass—the falter being used by the Greeks and Romans and reappearing at the time of Charlemagne In the form of a waistcoat made of overlapping metal scales and of rather Imperfect execution.
