Carter, of Montana, who will soon be
in Helena, 1000 miles distant, demands
that our dogs be tortured in this man.

lifted his eyes from his political plans
long enough to coincide in this mat.
teh. And Senator Rawlins, of Utah,
who surely lives far enough away to
be free from hydrophobia in this city,
also demands that our dogs shall all
be muzzled.
All of this local excitement has re.
suited in profound study of hydro.
phobia and rabies by some of our
learned men, and the majority of them
ridicule the phantom on which our
commissioners have based their action.
Science demonstrates that there is
such a disease as hydrophobia in man,
although it is of exceedingly rare oc-
currence and not traceable to conta-
gion or infection. There is no such
disease as hydrophobia in animals.
There is disease known as rabies in
some animals, and dogs are sometimes
affected by it, but even this disease is
never found in dogs that are domest.

FARMER GRANDFATHER.
FARMING POSSIBILITIES.
Difference between the Progressive
Farmer TO To-Day and the Old
Time TIIIer of the Soil.

Farmers, as class, are the least
progressive people in our country. The
manufacturer, the mine operator, the
merchant, the railroad owner and
nearly all other business men are con-
stantly on the alert for new and I'M
proved machinery and methods in con-
Quoting their business, the application
and use of which, though often very
expensive, will increase the volume OF
business or decrease the amount OF eX-
pense to q point which will not only
meet the extra expense, but will yield
an additional profit.
Progress is forced on the farmer to
certain extent, for without 1T he
could not hope to survive; but great
many of our American farmers refuse
to progress further than is absolutely
necessary. A farmer of to-day who
uses the crude and obsolete methods
of tilling the soil with homemade
farming implements can no more hope
to compete with his progressive neigh
Dor who uses up-to-date planting, cul-
tivating and harvesting machinery
than the colonial stage coach can COM
mand the passenger traffic of our
country against the fast and progress
sive railway. ...
Too many farmers adhere to the
methods and traditions of generations
gone by, and seem 10 think that their
sphere is to raise everything they eat,
wear the commonest clothes they can
buy, send the children TO the district
school during the winter months and
remain as they are. This idea Is an
erroneous one. The farmer is the
mainstay of our nation; he is the
foundation upon which we build, and
he is entitled to all of the comforts,
luXuries and pleasures that the age is
able to give. Yet he can only obtain
them by making the effort. Every
step forward requires an effort, and
without this effort there is nothing
better in store for the farmer than he
is receiving to-day. Modern farming
! is a business-a science-and the
farmer who studies and prosecutes his
business, who studies the science of his
business and who adopts progressive
methods of farming is the farmer who
will make success. Instead of spend
ing much time on the streets of his
nearest village discussing the probable
result of the next election, ii were bet
ter that he was at nome studying the
merits of some improved farming i'm
plement, or considering the adoption
of some new method of farming
whereby he could produce more for
less. When we think of some of oui
own bluegrass farmers, or our Ohio
valley farmers or our western farmers
who look after their business anC
farm for profit, who live in homes thai
overshadow the average city home il
point of elegance, and who sell the
| products of their farms for les.
price than the old-time farmers car
produce for, we see the possibilities o.
farming.
Farmers, awake, study your bust
ness, educate yourselves in your bust
ness, adopt new and improved meth
DDS, progress, keep up with the pro
cession and in few years you vii
command an influence that will b,
powerful and Immortality. G. Young

THE OVEN BIRDS NEST.
II Is Original and Ingenious In Con-
struction and Very Clever

If you are strolling in the woods in

stantly hear a crescendo chant echo

Mr.. Burroughs translates the notes into
English, without the inspiration and
pathos of the song. 1t is the oven bird,
says the New York Tribune, who is
one of the commonest jewellers in the
woods at this season. He is also
known as the golden-crowned thrush,
but he is only thrush by courtesy,
as he does not belong to hatlofty or.
der of inspired songsters, but the hum
bier order of wood warblers. He is re.
markable, however, among warblers.

ish, olive-green bird, its white breast
and sides dashed with brown, fail to
recognize 1t, but consider it species
of true thrush, because of its spotted
breast. 1t has crest of cinnamon
buff, with black lines, but this is more
conspicuous in ornithologist descrip.
tions than on the bird. The oven bird
walks in stately way, like blackbird
and this alone, as well as its small size
would distinguish it, if the fact i,
noted. 1t is the only warbler that
walks; all others hop, as birds gener.
ally do. The nest, which gives this
bird its name, is shaped like an old
fashioned oven, mound with the open
ing at one side. 1t is heaped up in the
loose, dry leaves of spring, built Of
coarse grasses, rootlets and stalks, and
daintily lined. 1t is a roomy nest, big
enough for bird almost as large as an
English sparrow to move about in and
sit on the eggs completely concealed.

the moment you take your eyes off
from her.

~ to ours, the more see and

He had been a candidate for the posi-
ton of sergeant-at-a of the senate
and had received pledges of support
from good majority of the caucus.
But when the caucus met there was
considerable discussion and finally
they selected another man, whose
name had not been mentioned before,
The defeated candidate, showing his
list of senatorial liars who had pledged
him their support and violated their
promises, said: "The more / see Of
men the more like dogs"
And why not? Dogs are honest, sin
cere and faithful. They do not pre-
tend friendship without meaning it.
They love their masters devotedly, al
| though their affection is not always
appreciated nor returned. Man, al
though indeed "the image of his Max
en-" does suffer in some degree by COM
parison with the intelligent and faith
full creatures who follow and fawn
upon their owners.
Congress has adjourned and the
statesmen have departed, but the dogs
are with us yet. Nobody attacks the
statesmen, no matter what they say
or do, albeit many of them are exceed
ingly vulnerable. But dogs can be at
tackled and humbled and troubled,
even though they be as gentle as doves
and harmless as babes.
The executive rulers of this nation
al capital are three commissioners, APP
pointed by the president. They are
not elected by the people, and are,
therefore, exceedingly independent of
the people. They do many marvlous
things in the name of law and order.
AS an example of their acnmen, last
December, when the weather was I'M
usually cold, they issued an order re-
curing that all dogs in the District of
Columbia should be muzzled. People
who had paid their dog taxes and held
licenses were ignored. Their taxes
were practically confscated, and their
dogs captured if found unmuzzled
There was a popular clamor against
the unwise and needless order, but the
commissioners paid no attention to
public opinion.
Only few weeks ago the president
appointed a new commissioner; good
man. a reasonable man, a veteran news
paper man, gatherer of facts. lie
has endeavored to have that muzzle or
der rescinded, but the other two com
missioners, of course, out-voted him,
and the order continues in force.
That the people of a large city should
be stirred up over a matter of dogs
and their treatment seems little
strange, but it is fact that there are
so many dogs and dog owners here that
the cutlery is almost as universal as
though some great wrong had been
done to individuals directly instead
of to their chattels. However, it APP
pears that some dogs become as much
part of the families in which they
, live as the babies and children with
whom they play.

afternoon said: 'I'd as lief muzzle my

"Ox," answered Polly, nimbly.
"How do you know it spells ox?'
Polly was as honest as the day.

The dog must remain in the backyard
all day now; but in the evening, after
the dog catchers have gone to roost,
he shall go out on the streets. He is
perfectly harmless by day as well as by
night, but these .inhuman commission
ers have the power to declare all dogs
dangerous, and their dictum is COM
pulsory upon all citizens"
These commissioners of ours may
declare that hydrophobia exists when
it does not exist, and we must assume
that it does exist. They may declare
that the dog days" are in December
instead of August, and we must agree
with them, although in our neighbor-
ing city of Baltimore, and everywhere
else, the dog days" continue to be in
August. Our commissioners may de-
clare that all dogs have rabies, when
there is not mad dog here; and our
citizens must submit to their autoc-
racy. Rulers of that kind could break
q cameps back with the weight of an
argument, or draw an inference with
horse power.
Strangest thing of all, the commits
sioners have the backing of alleged

Most fishes are very sensitive to ex-
