The Tick Scourge Among Cattle.
o (Per Press Association.) Sydney, This Day. The Tick Conference recommends the various Parliaments to introduce as early as possible a measure to provide an improved system of branding stock as the loss in value of hides under the present system is .£300,000 per annum. A cable was received at the Conference from Dr Hunt who was despatched on behalf of Queensland to investigate the tick in America, states the tick is identical with Texas fever. The Bureau at Washington is doubtful as to the benefits to be derived from dipping or iaoculation. American experience shows the losses among cattle born in the infested districts is trivial.
