ina certain community In the west
a dog went mad. and during the raid
which ii made before it was killed it
bit 10 cows in a dairy herd, which all
sooner or later We're attacked with ra-
bies aud died. The owner Of these
cows was a wealthy and influential
man in the community and the milk
of theSe-cows was received at the local
creamery during the time which elaps-
ed between the biting by the dog and
the outbreak of the disease in the ami
nal. a protest was entered against
this sort of business, but was over
ruled by the creamery officials on the
ground that the milk Of such COWS was
harmless, even though they had been
iEoculated with the virus Of rabies
We are asked to say whether this as
sumption was right or wrong. 1t is a
common error which classes poisots in
to two types-those which act directly
TN the circulatory system, such as the
poison Of snakes. and those which work
through the digestive system, such as
arsenic or strychniuc,, many people be
lieving that unless such poisons are
administered through the medium
through which they are said TO operate
they are harmless. This Is clearly
mistake, for an injection of morphine
or strychnine into She blood direct will
produce the same results, though not
SO rapid and marked as though taken
ipto the stomach. The virus OF rabies
IS what may he termed n blood poison
and without Doubt might DE absorbed
into the SYSTEM through the stomach
Just as the other poisoIs referred 10.
Whether such virus before the devel-
opment of theAlsease In the COW could
be communicated through the medium
of the cows milk to the user of such
milk Is a question which it Will take
wiser man than the writer 10 answer.
IT brings up the old wraugle over the
question Of tuhcrculosis-wh the
milk from a cow infected with this dis
ease can transmit the disease-and on
this matter it viii I've recalled the doe
tors and scientists ara widely at vari-
anr". Looking Mt the proposition as
submitted, we would say that common
doceury allied with natural instinct
Of self preservation common TO all
would dictate that such milk was unfit
for Use and t1a man who offered it for

ORCHARDS N MINNESOTA.

A reader in Minneapolis wants to
know if it is a safe proposition to set
out commercial orchard of apple trees
in the vicinity of lake Minnetonka. AS
suming that a good location for such
orchard Is selected, that proper vare-
ties are planted and that the orchard is
given the right sort of care and atten-
ton, we do not know of more promis-
ing business proposition in the line Of
horticulture. For instance, the Wealthy
apple is perfectly at home there. There
should be 100 bearing trees on each
acre at the end of six years from plant
ing. Small fruits, beans, potatoes and
vines grown among the trees up to that
time will give paying crops each year.
From the time these trees are 9 or 8
years old such an orchard may be de-
pended upon to bring in an average in
come for the next 20 years Of not less
than 500 per acre besides the crop of
clover which may be grown among the
trees. If a man had from 20 to 40 acres
Id such orchard SO that he could put up
his own cold storage plant and hold his
crop for the better prices Of the spring
trade, this income could easily be dou-
bled.

BUYING LAND WITHOUT SEEING IT.

The Bible refers to a certain man
who bought piece of land without
Seeing it, and. while the record does not
state whether he got beat or not, the
chances are that he did. This prompts
the remark that about the most foolish
thing man can do is to buy land
without seeing it, and lots of men are
doing this thing every day now in their
eager craze to get hold of land We
would not invest dollar in any land
until we had tested the soil and the
subsoil to a depth of at least three
feet, till we had asccrtained the aver
age rainfall for a series of years in
the locality where the land was stu
ated, until we had ascertained the quail
ity and quantity of water accessible 10y
digging or boring, until we knew what
sort Of crops the climate and soil would
produce and the class of people that
were to become permanent neighbors.

RUSSIAN SETTLERS IN NORTH DA-
KOTA

The writer spent a day or so among
the Russian settlers on,the range lands
of western North Dakota recently.
These people are of German origin and
speak the German and not the Russian
language and represent class Of Rus
sian citizens which the government Of
that country has been glad to get rid
Of. These settlers are scattered over
this range country and live a primitive
sort of life, caring for their flocks and
herds, which find a living the year
round upon the nutritious buffalo grass
which there abounds. These people
make sun dried brick out of the clay
dug out of the sloughs, which they mix
with straw after tthe manner of the
Egyptians of old, and with these bricks
build their houses and barns for their
stock. Being far removed from a fuel
supply, they utilize the manure from
their stockyards, and around each
homestead may be seen this sort of fuel
corded up in piles for use during the
winter. But little land is farmed, and
their principal source of revenue Ks the
stock which they keep.

The hardest work for woman con-
nected with farm life Is the cooking,
the washing and the butter making. In
most localities the creamery has step
ped in and relieved the housewife Of
the care of the dairy, cooperative eff
fort among farmers having worked out
q complete revolution in this particu
lar, Now, why could not the same
principle of cooperation be further APP
piled as to the making and baking Of
all hreadstuffs and the doing Of all the
washing of community? Why should
20 overworked women slave over wash
tubs one day each week and work hard
to make from 10 to 20 big loaves Of
bread at 90 different homes when
couple of strong men with proper appll-
ances would do all this work at some
central point?

There are q few men in every com
munity who always view crop fall
ure with sincere delight, AMI these are
the men who hoard their grain crops
year after year SO that they may take
advantage of other peoples mtsfor-

fellows with four or five years crops of
corn.on hand who fairly gioat over the
heat and simooms of July which with

We Travelled lately for 80 miles
through one of the timber slashings of
northern Minnesota, q country from
which the timber had been removed
and over which the forest fires have
run, and find that in the section seen
the soil is good and is producing a
large growth of the native grasses.
This land is for sale at very low prices,
and we are satisfied that If a man
would take this land and stock 1t with
sheep and cattle, not attempting to

would in very few years be in pos

The lack of humidity In the[atmos-
phere does almost as much to injure
plant growth when associated with ex-
IRENE heat as lack of moisture in the
earth. 1t was the extreme dryness of
tie air during the heated term Of the

the corn crop than the lack Of mois-
ture in the ground.

Where timothy and clover are grown
as mixed crop for hay it is very
common mistake to let the clover get
too far matured before the crop is cut.
These plants do not mature at the same
time, and it Is far better 10 cut the crop
when the clover is just right even if
the timothy Is not matured, for the
clover forms the best part of such hay.

ANGoRA GOATS.

We have heretofore referred to the
Angora goat and its great value for
subduing brush % timbered lands,
We would like to emphasize the matter
still further. III any reader Of these
notes in any state knows Of brush land
which can be bought cheaply, there is
a snap for him in buying it and fencing
1t and putting on it an average of
three Angora goats TO the acre. If To-
Gated anywhere In the blue grass re-
gion, the goats will convert this brush
tract inside of five years into q smooth
and valuable tract of blue grass pas
ture, assuming, of course, that the
trees and. large bushes are cut off the
first year. No grubb!ng will be need
ed, for the. goats will eat every shoot
and twig which appears, and thus the
grubs will all rot and at the end Of
five years may be removed with a
plow or a pick. There are very many
localities where this may be done with
nice profit.
