sioility OF bringing about injurious results.
In treating the animal, he says, one should
fiji cover the body with soft soap, which
wash off 4 few hours later, giving the skin
thorough and somewhat rough scrubbing
while in the act. Two days after this
treatment wash the animal again with soap

According to maps made out by the
United States department OF the interior
the region of heaviest annual rainfall in
Texas lies along the eastern border, extend
ing west to about the line of the black
waxy prairies. 1t is set down at forty-four
inches. The black waxy prairies proper
are put down at from forty to forty-four
inches. That portion OF the grand prairie
in which Fort Worth is located is marked at
forty inches, but a few miles west, say
where the Texas and Pacific railway crosses
six inches. -
This area of thirty-six inches has very
peculiar run across the state. 1t starts 1T
Brownsville on the Rio Grande, runs al
most due north TO opposite Corpus Christi,
then bears eastward to the Nueces river.
From this point it turns westward, taking
in San Antonio and extending fifty or sixty
miles above. Here it turns abruptly to the
southeast, leaving Austin about twenty
miles 10 nOrthward, and striking the Colo
RADIO river in Wharton county. From this
point it courses around to little north of
east until il reaches the Brazos river, where
it makes an abrupt turn TO northward, fol-
lowing the course of the river to point
west of Fort Worth, where it bends off
gently towards the east, going out of the
state over the counties of Wichita and
Clay. The average width OF this area may
be put at twenty-five or thirty miles. Be
yond this area the annual rainfall gradually
decreases as we go westward.
It is rather interesting to trace this area
of thirty-six inch rainfall above Texas.
Maintaining about the same average width
as already mentioned il bears slightly east
ward after crossing Red river, where it
makes an abrupt turn to the north, continu-
ing on due north course 10 Leavenworth,
Kan. Here it turns off due east 10 the
Mississippi river, striking that stream at
the mouth of the Illinois river. From this
point il elbows off TO the northwest, con-
tinuing on this course until it has reached
the Minnesota line. At the Minnesota line
it turns TO the southwest, taking in Chicago.
