Rabies in Domestic Animals


In some parts of the country rabies
seems to be on the increase. DR.. Sal
mon calls particular attention to this,
and as an example cites its increase
in the District of Columbia. He says:
There has been marked increase In
the number of rabid dogs discovered
in the District of Columbia during the.
past year (year ending June 80, 1900.
In previous years the number brought
to the attention of the authorities was
as follows: 1898, IL; 1895, 2; 1896, 5;
1897, 8; 1898, z; 1899. Jan. to June so,
4. For the fiscal year ending June 30,
1900. the number of cases was 45. In
addition. cows, cat, and horse
were tested and found to have died Of
rabies. Four men and 16 children were
bitten. The continued prevalence of
this terrible and fatal disease Is
serious condition and one that demands
earnest consideration. Rabies is dis
ease that originates only from con-
tag1on. In the vast majority OF cases
it is caused by the bite of a rabid dog.
II, when an outbreak occurs dogs are
kept securely isolated or are properly
muzzled for q sufficient time to cover
the period Of incubation, the disease
is easily stamped out. 1t seems mex
cusable. therefore, to allow the con-
tagions to be propagated Indefinitely.

Cause of Oat Smut.

Smut is caused by fungus parasites
that grow within the grain plant.
eventually destroying the seed OF the
affected plant and communicating the
seed of the healthy plants by the scat
tering of spores largely during the
ripening period of the grain The dust
like spores when dry are readily blown
to adjoining plants. or. coming in di-
rect contact with the healthy ones, in
oculate their neighbors, which in turn
continue to propagate the species. The
smut spores not live over the win
ter in the ground, but are killed
through frost or inclemen. weather.
The smut affecting the crop lives dur
ing the winter as spores on the seed
grain, and begin their deadly work
shortly after the seed is sown. The
affected oat plant makes a sickly
growth and generally heads lower and
somewhat later in the season than the
healthy plants: therefore. the extent
of the crop is not noticed by casual
observation. 1t Is largely due to these
facts that smut has been able to in
wade the oat fields unnoticed by the
farmer and has gained a strong foot
hold--Bulletin 81, University of Wis

Fruit Notes.

There are but few reports of injury
to early deciduous fruits in California
by frosts during the season thus far,
and no reports of serious damage.
Nearly all varieties were somewhat
late in blossoming, which is greatly in
favor OF good crops, and unless heavy
frosts should occur within the next
few weeks these fruits may be consid-
cred safe for an unusually heavy yield
Citrus fruits are in good condition.
Fruit prospects in West Virginia,
with the exception of peaches, which
are reported to be killed in some coun-
ties, are excellent.
Correspondents in a few of the south
ern counties of Missouri report that
peaches have not been greatly injured
and there will probably be a few In
other sections. The early varieties are
now in bloom in the extreme southern
counties. Apples promise a good crop.
but it is believed that in most sections
small fruits will be light, owing to the
drouth last season.
Citrus trees in Florida have passed
through the winter in good condition.
A good bloom is in evidence. and the
outlook is promising. Pineapples are
very satisfactory.

A speaker at q Nebraska institute
said: The critical time with the brood
SOW is the first two weeks after she

feeding the mother with corn and Civ
ing chilling drinks, which produce in
digestion and fever. Don't be in too
much of = hurry to get the porkers to-
market, and in your desire to see them
start for that point kill half the crop
and stunt the balance by overfeeding
the dam. Above all things, keep your
SOW bedded with clean. dry straw and
give them all the sunlight possible
damp nests are fatal to young litters.
Exercise is absolutely necessary for
young pigs, especially If the sow suck

thumps, which carries OF the finest Of
the litter. We never saw a case of
thumps where the SOW and pigs had
exercise enough. The better the sow
the greater the danger of loss from
thumps, and the more need of exercise
Taken in time, we consider there is
less danger from thumps than colds
and scours; this trouble can easily be
brought on by just one overlooking

against this by not overfeeding the

South Americans Are Extravagant In

Very much to my surprise" said
Mr.. NJ. NJ. Dolphin, of Kansas City, at
the Ebbitt, lin a late tour of Central
America l came upon the most beau
tiful building 1 ever laid eyes upon.
1t was the Government opera house
in San Juan, the capital of Costa Rica,
and there is only one other theater in
the world that approaches it in magni-
fcence or cost, and that is the opera
house in Vienna.
This building is a small city OF
$4,000 people cost $3,5O0.O00. 1t was
constructed from funds raised by a
State tax on coffee. Inside and out it
is of the finest marble that could be
had in Italy. Italian artisans worked
upon it, and famous artists from Eu-
rope were employed in the interior
decorations. which think surpass
those of our Congressional library.
The richness of the furnishings and
general gorgeousness of the house as
tonish every one, and to see such a
sight in a little interior town of a
non-progressive government is GER
tain1y remarkable.

Red Raspberries.

Prof. L. r. Taft, of the Michigan
Experiment Station. reports on four
of the leading varieties of red rasp-
berries, as follows:
Miller-This is one of the first var1e-
ties to ripen and for some localities in
Michigan it is the best of the early
kinds. The plants are vigorous and
quite productive. The fruit is sweet
and of good quality.
Marlboro-The best early variety for
this section. Plant vigorous and pro-
ductive. Fruit good in quality. Fruits
over long season.
Cuthbert-An old, well-known vari-
ETY. and ordinarily the most reliable
and profitable red raspberry grown.
The fruit has a vinous favor. The
plants are vigorous and very produc-
tive. No other red raspberry in the
station collection has made SO good
showing year after year as the Cuth-
bert.
Golden Queen-A golden yellow var
iety belonging to the same species as
the red sorts. Very similar to Cuth-
bert In growth Of plant and in shape
and size Of fruit. This berry Is of
very good quality and for home use
1t Is considered desirable. Should not
be planted for market.

Mating Young ells..

The time for the mating of young
gifts depends upon their individuality.
II they are inclined to become leggy
they should be mated so as to farrow
their first litter by the time they are
one year old. On the other hand, IL
they are undersized they should not
farrow until they are at least fourteen
months of age. In order to secure q
successful farrow the brood SOW
should receive considerable attention
from now on, and whether she will be
successful or not depends upon the
feed, care and attention given her Ii,
she has received a liberal feed OF
shorts and bran, with a feed of roots
occasionally, and has had access to
salt and ashes at all times. and re-
ceived plenty of exercise, there is no
reason why she should not produce a
strong. vigorous litter of pigs.-O. R.
