In some parts of the country rabisa
seems to be on the increase. DIR. 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. 19OO).
In previous years the number brought
to the attention of the authorities was
as follows: 1893, II: 1895, 2; 1896. 3;
1897, 3; 1898, Z; 1899. Jan. to June 80.
I. For the fiscal year ending June 80,
1900. the number of cases was 45. In
addition, cows, cat, and l 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 a dis
ease that originates only from con-
taxion. In the vast majority of cases
1t Is caused by the bite Of rabid deg.
II, when an outbreak occurs dogs are
kept securely isolated or are properly
muzzled for 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,
causing untold suffering to the affected
animals and menacing the lives OF per-
sons, particularly children. who go
upon the streets

Testing Russian w...rm.ions.

S. H. Fulton In charge OF the sub
station at South Haven, Michigan, re-
ports: Last spring seeds OF 81 varie-
ties OF watermelOns were received Tor
trial from the Department OF Agricul-
ture, Washington, D. c. Quite large
proportion of these new varieties came
from Russia and other European coun-
tries. The seed was planted May 70.
in sandy loan well enriched with wood
ashes and stable manure. With few
exceptions the seeds germinated, and
the plants grew thriftily. The first
melons ripened about the 18th of Au-
gust. A few of the later kinds failed
to mature before the close Of the sea-
son. Nearly all varieties bore small
melons and the quality in most In
stances was not very good A number
of kinds had light-colored flesh vary
ing from creamy white to orange yell
low. A few varieties proved to be
winter kinds. The latter were all Of
small size and had hard gourd-like
shells. The quality Of most Of the
later-ripening kinds was no doubt
much impaired by cold, wet weather

The time for the mating of young
gifts depends upon their individuality.
II they are inclined to become leggy
they should be mated 30 ~ to farrow
their first litter by the time they are
one year old. On the other hand. II
they are undersized they should not
farrow until they are at least fourteen
months Of age. In order to secure .
successful farrow the brood SOW
should receive considerable attention
from now on. and whether she will be
successful or not depsnds upon the
feed, care and attention given her. II
she has received . liberal feed Of
shorts and bran, with feed Of roots
occasionally, and has had access to
salt and ashes at all times. and re-
ceived plenty Of exercise. there Il no
reason why she should not produce q
strong. vigorous litter of piss.-o. r.

Sow and Pigs.

A speaker at a Nebraska institute
said: The critical time with the BROOD
SOW is the first two weeks after she
farrows. Many pigs are lost by over
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 TO- 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 II the SOW suck
les we'll; in this way preventing
thumps, which carries OF the finest of
the litter. We never saw 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 overfeeding
of the SOW or young pigs; guard
against this by not overfeeding the
SOW for the first ten days after farrow-
ing.

Celery In tho Garden.

Celery is such delicacy that 1t
should be in the garden of every farm
home. Probably more than any other
crop it is left to professional growers.
The result is that there are many farm
tables on which it never appears. 1t
requires cool moist soil, well en-
riched, and must not be permitted to
suffer from drouth. Its natural soil is
found in lowlands, where the subsoii
is never reached by the roots of the
plants. Celery should be sown in a
seed bed in the spring to give it good
start for the summer crop. Seed for
the late fall crop may be sown out of
doors in May. Where there is water
supply in reach by a hose the growing
of celery is easy. The land should be
treated to a good dressing OF manure
yearly. unless naturally very rich.
High land is seldom suitable for the
growing Of this plant unless 1t is deep
ly plowed, well manured and thor
oughly pulverized. Reclaimed marshes
are the places indicated by nature for
the growing of celery, but 1t can be
grown in almost any well cultivated
garden.

Plantiny Tree.


Bulletin 50, Oklahoma Experiment
Station: The soil in which trees are
to be planted should be given as thor
ough preparation as for any other crop.
1t should be plowed to q depth of at
least eight inches and drmed down by
repeated harrowings. Where trees are
to be planted for shade the holes
should be dug large and deep. three
feet each way 10 not too large. and
filed In with surface soil to the depth
at which the trees are to be set. This
work should be done as long as pos
sible before the time for planting the
trees. and II now, the soil that is
filled into the noles should be satura-
ted with water before setting the trees
Trees that do not have good roots
should not be set where they will be
exposed to the direct force of the wind
When transplantins, set the roots at
about the same depth a. that at which
they grew naturally, and press the soil
firmly about the roots. This il q very
important point and frequently neg
lected.

The Easter Storm.

Easter Sunday of this year, March
Both, will be remembered for its fierce
storm which toppled over hundreds of
derricks and trees in this county; and
blew the roofs off some churches in
Pittsburg and vicinity killing some
people in their seats The most inter
esting incidents in this vicinity were the
blowing over of tree, three feet in di-
ameter, in the Pearce Grove near the
Fair Grounds; the demolition of the
buildings of Stamm's brick yard;
the breaking of some telephone wires
which fell across the trolley and sent
current into the central office that burn
ed the switchboard. The storm came
up very suddenly, and lasted but few
minutes, but it made things interesting.
In Clinton twp. VIM Walkers barn
was cracked and horse killed in it and
the barns of VIM. Snyder, Geo. Henry
and W. Gibson were unroofed; and in
Buffalo twp. P. Drains horse, standing
in front of church was killed by tree
falling upon it.
Last week field fire. started by
spark from West Penn freight engine
spread to the farm house on the Firtch
farm north of Delano and destroyed it.
Sunday the big wind blew the barn
down and the property is now without
buildings.
The big stained glass window in the
west side of the South Side church
wavered in dangerous manner during
the big wind storm last Sunday Had
it gone in fatalities would doubtless
have resulted.
A horse belonging to Henry thinner
man of the Plank Road. which was
hitched in the yard, pulled up its hitch
ing post and started to run away, but
was stopped and caught by Miss Annie
Kalb
In the Montgomery oil field Eisler
& O'Brien had IA out of total of 16
derricks blown down. In that field the
storm made an almost clean sweep. T.
W. Phillips has GA rigs down in the
county and the Forest over 300.
At Coylesville, Abe Flick's barn was
blown down and Thomas Leech's house
unroofed.
John w Coulter and wife of Butler
were visiting friends residing in South
Side, Pittsburg, last week, and on Sun
day attended the Knoxville Presbyterian
church. The storm came, the roof of
the church collapsed, and a section of
the hardwood ceiling about 20x40 feet)
fell Then the high chimney fell upon
the roof, some of the bricks cutting
through and striking the people, many
of whom received face ands scalp
wounds, while few had bones broken |
The large congregation escaped through |
doors and windows, as best they could
