DOGS IN BAeDAD.

Why They DO Not Loot tho Food
BazaArs of the Town. p
Bagdad Is alive with more or less
hungry dogs. How is 1t that such
packs Of furies do not loot the bazaars
OF the town. The explanation is as
simple as 1t Is interesting. The Bag
dad shop fronts are absolutely open.
The goat and mutton are
hung where every dog that rum can
reach them. But time out Of mind
the first glance OF a dogs eye toward
forbidden dainties has been visited
with the swift descent on him Of a
eudgel or a Ratchet.
On one Of a series of marches paral-
lei with the Euphrates 1 CHANGED to
meet a desert horde whose greyhounds
are In high repute. Buying a brace
Of saplings, 1 took them on with me,
lodging them I'm the tent and doing
everything that was possible to make
them feel at home.
Surprising to relate, they obstinately
refused both food and water. The re-
mains Of a venison pasty seemed at
once to attract and repel them. A pan
| Of water appealed to them even more
strongly, but they would not go up
to 1t.
After q time a Persian muleteer Ok
planned the mystery in a twinkling.
No sooner did he upset the water and
toss the viands on the ground before
them than the silky cared ones ran in
like Trojans and made up In a few
moments for a days fasting.

from irrigational channels and from
sheets Of surface water and reared
among people who do not use tables,
they had been taught by many a buffet
to keep their noses out OF cooking pots
and vessels Of every description.
In Bagdad man and beast alike drink
Of the great river, which also forms
the arterial common sewer of the city,
the place where clothes arc washed
and the "Stygian wave" into which Is
dragged every beast of burden whep
1t Is not left to lie where 1t has fallen.
The muddy bottom, with the water
eve receding, the exposed surfaces
thick with impurities and the tropical
sun sucking up all the Infections
must be n regular hotbed OF miasma
and pestilence.
And yet, mirabile dictu, Bagdad is
not, as eastern cities go, unhealthy.
But let the reader imagine to himself
what the Bagdad of the foregoing
slight description would be like with
out the dogs that scavenge 1t. Refuse
animal and vegetable matter is largely
disposed of by the dogs, in situ.-Nine'

CHEESE MAKERS CONVENTION.

The Seventeenth Annual Convention
of the Wisconsin Cheese Makers AS
sociation, the largest organization Of its
kind in the world, will be held in the
City of Milwaukee, January 6, 7, and
Sth, 1909
Headquarters will be at the Republi
can House, where club rooms and halls
for the cheese and dairy supply exhibits
have been secured The sessions prope,
will be- held at the Freie Gemeinde Hal
in the same block with that of the head
quarters hotel.
The program for the three days ses
sions include addresses of great interest
not only to practical cheese makers, but
also to patrons and dairy farmers. The
fancy or foreign cheese interests will re
ceive special attention. Speakers OF
national reputation have been engaged
at considerable expense to address the
meeting, and men who are continually
experimenting and investigating along
the dairy lines will be heard,
The monthly scoring of cheese in the
Dairy School Exhibitions will take place
in connection with the convention The
Educational Cheese Contest is open to
the world. The cash pro rata premium
fund and lists of special premiums are
the largest ever offered to the exhibitors
in any cheese exhibition ever held in
America.
The object of the Association is the
education of it's members for better
work in the art of making cheese, both
foreign and domestic, the care and
management of factories, the sale of
their products. and the wedding out of
incompetency in the business of cheese
making.
A further object of the Association is
to demand thorough revision and rigid
enforcement Of such laws as will protect
the manufacture of honest dairy pro-
ducts against undue competition from
deceitful and dangerous limitations and
to unite the rank and file of it's members
in instituting a regular crusade against
the unjust practice of pooling milk at
cheese factories by weight without re.
gard to the water fat which it contains
No branch of agriculture in the state
has made greater progress than the
cheese making industry during the past
year. 1t is rapidly becoming speciality
of districts of wide area in northern
Wisconsin
In every way, the convention will be
made one of the greatest possible profit
to those attending it, and from the
growth of the industry it is expected
that the convention this year will be far
greater in attendance and good results
than ever before in the history of the
organization.
