mouths in short, puffy breaths. The
friction between tongue and lips,
caused by their rapid, laborious
breathing, produces saliva, which is
sometimes ignorantly diagnosed as
foam, one of the symptoms of hydro
phobia. Many innocent victims have
lost their lives on account of such
stupidity.
''If your dog should feel ill, sick
with some ordinary allment, he will
wag welcome to you with sad, pitiful
expression, looking up inquiringly, as
if asking for help and relief. If it has
come to the worst, and he feels by in
stinct the germs of the dreaded disease
in his frame, his action will be entirely
different. You will find him with low
bent head, withholding his usual glad
welcome, hardly noticing or glancing
at you. If your eye meet his, the rest
less, nervous, strange expression will
startle you. The dog, feeling his
doom. is conscious of approaching
danger, and would like to prepare and
warn you. These unmistakable and
easily recognized signs should be
watched closely and always needed.

WHAT LIME DOES.
Experience In Applying 1t to the Soil.
Mode of Use.


Mode of Use.
1 have used lime for agricultural
purposes for twenty-five years, always
with good results. Often the increase
in the first crop more than pays for
the lime. Any farm that has been I'M
der cultivation for many years will be
greatly benefited by the judiciOus use
of lime. An example or two will illus
trate. Meeting an old acquaintance
in August, some years ago, 1 asked,
"Are you through haying?" 81 guess
So" was his reply. ''Some of it was
so poor l cut it for the looks, but will
not draw it in" 1 then asked, "How
many acres did you NOW and how
much hay did you get?" He replied,
"Sixty acres and got twenty-eight
tons" 1 said: "YOu foolish man! How
many acres do you intend to seed with
oats next spring?' He said. ten acres.
After advising him to get car of lime
to use with as much stable manure as
he could spare from his other crops we
parted. l met him again some years
later, in August, and asked, "Are
you through haying?" Finished last
week." he replied. "How many acres
did you NOW and how much hay did
you get?' Moved thirty acres, and
my barns wouldn't hold it,"
Effects Claimed For Lime.
1 claim four things for lime: 1t neu-
tralizes the acidity of the soil and
sweetens it. 1t attacks all vegetable
matter with which it comes in contact
decompOses it and fits it for plant food
Lime enters into the composition of all
vegetable growth, especially grain and
hay. Lime is warming to the soil. The
best time to use lime is when seeding
either with oats, rye, barley or grass

TIE RESOURCEFUL MOLE.

He Gets Away With Ease When You
Think You Have Him.
Speaking of quick and resOurceful
animals, the mole leads easily so far as
ly experience goes" said man from
the country, land l dare say there are
many men who have made Observa-
tions that will confirm my contention.
AS you probably know, the mole plOws
in the surface of the earth, generally
making a small ridge anywhere from
two to three inches high. He moves
with remarkable rapidity even when
the ground in which he is burrowing Is
hard. When operating in soft ground
he moves along at q surprising gait.
But this is not the point 1 wanted to
make l was thinking of the remarka-
bly, good hearing of the mole and the
ease with which he can get away just
at the moment when you think you
have him cornered. OF course now and
then you can drive spike through the
mole before he Is aware of 1t. If you
do you will have to walk as light as a
cat and will have to act as quickly as
the same animal when the time comes
to act. In nine cases out of ten the
mole will hear the first football. At
once he will quit plowing. He is gone.
Search as you may, you cannot find
him. l have seen men dig for fifty
yards, following the ridge and its of
shoots, without finding any other trace
of the mole than the ridge. The mole's
hearing is peculiarly keen, and 1 sup
pose this is so because he cannot see
But even more wonderful from my
standpoint is the ease and qulckness
with which he gets away. How does be

Mr.. Hays great qualities as Secre-
tary of State were in the main devel-
oped after several years of experience
in position which he held longer than
any of his predecessors during the
nearly one hundred and twenty years
of the existence of this government.
1t is no disparagagment to Mr.. Hay
therefore, to remark Mr.. Root brings
to the post of Secretary of State more
complete qualification than those pos
sessed by any other man at the NOM
ent of taking up the duties of that par
ticular portfolio. Mr.. Hay had rounded
out his great career and his work was
done. He was only sixty seven but
for long while he had felt himself the
victim of declining years. Mr.. Root at
sixty is as young looking a man as the
new pictures of him would indicate.
His mind is as fresh and elastic as that
of man half his age, while it hes the
added advantage that comes from ex-
perience and maturity.
1t is wholly mistake to assume that
Mr. Roots appointment has had any
intentional political bearing, or that 1t
necessarily puts him in the line of
nomination for the Presidency in 1908.
Presidential nominations somehow
take care of themselves, and do not
come from any man giving them a
thought. Meanwhile, with Mr.. Root
at the head of the State Department,
Mr.. Roosevelt has at hand the man
who has all along, out of Office as well
as in it, been his closest adviser il
;sneGiic matters for good many years
past, and the people of the United
States have secured the services IL
public affairs of great moment of mai
whose patriotism and devotion to the
public good are as great as are his tai

Summer School of Methods, which
had been in session at the Conference
Academy for five weeks. The attend
suce was exceptionally large and the
work accomplished under the direction
Of Supt. Carroll, Prof. Cross, DR..
Qooding and other capable instructors,
very gratifying. Says the Dover Index:
"No matter what the vocation, one is
bound to learn from rubbing up against
those pursuing the same line of work.
One imbibes new ideas and methods
from his superiors, and seeing the pit
falls of interiors shuns them. A far
mer with eyes and ears which he has
learned to use, returns home the wiser
after attending a Farmers Institute or
Grange. And so it is with those in
every other calling. At the summer
school the young beginner comes in
contact with the experienced teacher
and can take home and use the lesson
that another has learned by hard

to this attempt OF the committee Of nifty
to keep from the children OF this nation

and other narcotics Fifteen thousand
physicians. practically the entire medi-

by the rayages alcohol is making IN
that country, petitiOned as method OF
prevention, for such compulsory study
Of hygiene and scientific temper
ance by all pupils In all the
public schools Of the United Kingdom
Of Great Britain and Ireland as we
have In America. Now, please note
and what, therefore, they say should be
taught about alcoholic drinks.
A committee Of their number COM
posed OF some OF the most distinguish

chairman, I'm selecting schedule OF
truths that must be taught to save the
people and nation from alcoholic de-
generacy specified the very facts that
are called for IN our American course

the committee OF nifty challenged as

Immediately the same efforts were
made In Great Britain that were made
here to befog school officials and 9TH

lish scholars and scientists through
the press exposed the falacies In the
statements Of these critics, declaring
them 10 be "unwarrantable," "unjusu-

sible."
This English committee has sent this
course of study for adoption 10 every
local school hoard in England Scot
