SHEEP MUST BE DIPPED.
Issues Proclamation Enforc-
 ing Rules of State Veterinarian.

Governor Gillett has issued procla- nation setting forth that scabies Is prevalent among California sheep, that the entire State has been quarantined by Federal authorities, and that the rules of the State Veterinarian must be strictly observed. The rules are:
 (a) All sheep in the State of Cali fornia must be dipped under the super vision of the State Veterinarian, or his duly authorized agent, between March 10, 1908, and July 15, 1908, inclusive.
 (b) Sheep affected with scabies and other sheep exposed to said disease, must be dipped twice, with an interval between the clippings of not less than nine days nor more than twelve days. All other sheep in the State of Cali fornia not so affected with scabies, or exposed thereto, must be dipped once.
 (c) Dipping solutions must receive the sanction of the saIo State Veter- marian, or. his duly authorized agent, before they will be officially recognized by said officers.
 (d) All corrals, chutes, barns, feed lots, premises and other places in which sheep affected with said disease of scabies have been placed or located, must be cleaned and Jisinfected in a manner prescribed by the said State Veterinarian, or his duly authorized agent.

SALT0N SEA LEVEL
 DOES NOT SUBSIDE
WATER FELL BUT TWO INCHES
 IN THE PAST YEAR.
official Report of Government Hydro erapher Shows That Inflow Is suffie
 tent to Maintain the Sea As a Per nanent Body of Water In the Desert.

Various statements of the rate of subsistence of Salton Sea have been made from time to time, and it has been the generally accepted belief that during the year 1907 evaporation lowered the level of the sea some two or three feet. Amateur and casual observers have reported a marked fall of water, shown on the gauge, but they seem to have overlooked the effect of winds and to have mistaken varia- tions due to wind pressure for actual subsistence of the body of water.
 Accurate measurements have been made by the photographic branch of the U. s. Geological Survey, and the following report has been issued by w. B. Clapp, District Engineer and Photographer, which shows that no material change of level occurred dur ing the year.

tain the sea. At the observed rate west of the sea, Is sufficient to main occasional run-off from the mountains of subsistence, if no increase of drain age should occur, it would take at least 45O years to evaporate Salton Sea But as Irrigation increases in the valley, the inflow will increase, and instead of subsiding, Salton Sea may be expected to rise gradually in the years to come.
 All of which confirms the assertion made by The Press repeatedly that Salton Sea is a permanently estab- lished body of water, which cannot be abolished otherwise than by com plete abandonment of irrigation in Imperial Valley and the closing of New River channel by levees prevent ing drainage northward of the lands annually overhowed by the Colorado in Mexico.

ENGLISH FASHIONS.
John Bull Makes Good Cloth, But Can't
 Make Clothes.
in Mexico

John Bull weaves much of the cloth for our clothing. He makes the best cloth in the world. Textiles are his greatest industry. Two-fifths of the worlds cotton crop goes to his mills, with a hundred thousand tons of flax, twice as much wool, hemp, jute, silk and other flores. He makes most of the worlds textile machinery, too.
 He can assuredly make cloth.
 But he doesn't know how to make clothes.
 He can't make them for men, and he can't make them for women or child ren, and admits it when you show him, professionally, a suit cut and tailored in an American clothing factory The London County Council has officially recognized that he cant, and is estab- fishing schools to teach tailoring and dressmaking, in the hope that he may do it in another generation.
 The American clothing manufactur- CT will fit ninetysfive per cent of all the men in given State, and never take the trouble to measure one of them. But if all the tailors in London measured one man it is doubtful if they could fit him. John Bull hasn't { any fashions. He wears a uniform instead, and, in turning out this gen tlemanly uniform the past two genera tions, the British tailor has forgotten how to make clothes.-Tom Bigby.

Detecting Disease in Horses.

An irregular pulse in horse is a
strong symptom of grave disease In
healthy horse the pulse beats 80 to
3S per minute, but 4S per minute may
not denote disease in some horses. To
take the pulse place the finger below
the jaws holding the watch in the left
hand, and count the beats. A rise of
temperature above 100 degrees denotes
that something is wrong. To take the
temperature use a thermometer insert
ed in the rectum. By practice, a high
temperature can be easily detected by
inserting the hand in the mouth of the
animal. Cold legs and cold ears and
cold sweat are bad symptoms. Difficult
and quick breathing indicate lung
trouble, and snoring" is caused by dis.
ease of the brain. A rough coat is a
bad symptom, denoting Indigestion
Fever In horse Is indicated by dull
ness, a quick pulse, high temperature
extended and infiamed nostrils and us.

INDIVIDUALITY of Cows.

While there are slight individuat
differences in digestive efficiency
among cows, extensive experiments
have shown that these are insufficient
to account for the widely variable re-
turns made by similar cows from like
quantities of the same kind of food
The results obtained in tests of this
kind are emphatic. 1t has been
shown that, of two cows of apparently
the same merit, from superficial exam
nation one may return three times as
much as the other from a given
amount of similar foods They digest
ed their food equally well. 1t Is a
well known fact that there are indi-
vidual likes and dislikes among cows,
which necessitates an intimate knowl-
edge of each COW If best results are TO
follow. Occasionally cow will make
her best performance upon ration
not suited to the other members of
the herd. These matters are OF con-
tinual interest to the dairymen, who
should safeguard himself at all times
by keeping at least approximate rec
ords of food consumed and product
yielded by each observation-disclosures

Homemade Barometer.

Those who love experimentation may
try the following method OF making a
cheap barometer, as practiced in
France: Take grams of puverized
camphor. 4 grams of pulverized nitrate
of potassium, 2 grams of pulyerized
nitrate of ammonia and dissolve in 60
grams of alcohol. Put the whole In
long. slender bottle, closed at the top
with a piece Of bladder containing a
pinhole to admit the air. When rain Is
coming the solid particles will tend
gradually to mount, little star crystals
forming in the liquid, which otherwise
remains clear; If high winds are ap-
proaching, the liquid will become thick
as If fermenting, while a film of solid
particles forms on the surface; during
fair weather the liquid will remain
clear and the solid particles will rest
at the bottom.

The Maryland Experiment Station
has been making tests as to profits
in selling dairy products, as milk, cream
and butter. This test shows that cream
is one of the most profitable forms of
sale, when 20 per cent cream can be
sold at so cents n gallon and even at
this low price returns 23h cents per
pound for the butter in the milk, be-
sides leaving the skimmill for use on
the farm. OF course, cream can be us
ually sold for more than 80 cents per
gallon. 1t appears that milk shipping
Is ordinarily more profitable than but

Butter has 4 market value of $50 n

worth of fertilizer from the soil. On
the other hand, ton of wheat has a
market value Of $22 and removes $3.50

see by this that dairying is worth a
good deal more to a new country than
the growing of wheat if the value Of
