Afirms Mad Stone Is a Fake

The absurdity of going a week later
to some remote part of the country
and applying the mad stone with p
view of its absorbing the poison is
too evident to be worthy of further
comment
About 20 per cent. of the persons
bitten by dogs actually rabid will de-
velop the disease. If they have not
received treatment. About so per
cent. of the dogs bitten will develop
the disease. All warm blooded ami
mails are liable to this disease or may
take 1t by incubation. The bite of a
rabid wolf or coyote is said to be
very dangerous.
Without going into discussion Of
the subject at this time here are n
few things well worth remembering:
Rabid dogs are not afraid of water
(hydrophobia). Paralysis of the lower
jaw and the hind legs gradually de-
velops. Beware of the dog that ap.

IL may be rabies. The eyes in this
disease are very sensitive to light;
hence the dog usually crawls under
the porch or some other dark place.
Skunks are subject to the disease and
when so affected do not hesitate 10
enter houses and bite people.
If bitten by suspicious acting dog,
cauterize the wound at once, but do
not kill the dog. If the dog develops
rabies within five days, the person
bitten should start for treatment.

have been bitten by mad dog, You
will have plenty of time to take treat

you start at once. Rabies is only

SELECTION OF DAIRY COWS.
Many Essential Points to Be consid-
cred by Dairyman In Gathering
His Herd.

Cows for the wholesale and retail
milk trade should be selected from
the Red Polls, Holstein, Durham and
Ayrshire grades. For cream and but
ter the Guernsey and Jersey should
be chosen. Cows from the vigorous
native cattle are often found having
extraordinary milking qualities The
larger mixers we ever had were
grade Durham and Ayrshire cows
raised in the Valley of Virginia AS
rule the progeny of these extra milk
ers, where the dame Is served by
pure bred male of established pedi-
gree, become the most profitable COWS.
The heifer calves from such COWS
should be raised-when they carry the
marks indicating good mixer. This
mark is the upward growth of the hair
on the inside of the thigh of the calf,
from Immediately behind the udder,
as high as the hair extends. If the
hair is found running up in a smooth,
unbroken column, all other things be-
ing equal, with good care and careful
feeding, with moderate amount of
wheat bran and whole oats, a valuable
cow may be raised with scarcely fail
ure. There are several other signs
or conditions indicative of valuable
milking qualities-such as: Smooth
and fair-sized teats, well-placed on the
udder, large and well-defined milk
veins, slim neck, a yellow, smooth skin
apparent about the eyes and nose
are sure indications of good COW CIV
ing rich milk. The calf for the milk
dairy should be fed to make bone
and muscle, and large, well.devel-
oped frame, and not for fat.
Dairymen having an abundance of
pasture, with enough tillage land to
raise the hay and fodder and most of
the grain, will find 1t the most profit
able to raise their COWS instead of
buying fresh cows TO replace those
that are MIXED out. A dry COW, uD-
less of fair size and in good beef CON
dition, will not bring more than S25
"a fresh COW without the calf cannot
be had for less than $i0-and fire.
quently the COW is dear at that II
cows have to be bought 1t is advisable
to buy direct from the owner, and not
from the COW dealers.

Writer Discusses That and Other Su-
perstitions In Connection
with Hydrophoba.

Rabies when affecting human beings
has caused considerable consterna-
ton in several sections of the coun-
try recently, few comments in this
connection may not be amiss.
First, let us see about some Of the
superstitions associated with this dl-
sease. When person has been bit
ten by a mad dog, the killing of the
dog does not prevent hydrophobia in
the person bitten. This is a joke and,
strange as it may seem, has been
taken seriously by many people who
should know better Better lock up
the dog for few days and see if the
disease develops. In case the disease
does not develop the person bitten
need have no further anxiety II the
disease develops in the dog, the per.
son viii then have plenty of time to
go to the Pasteur institute and take
treatment, which win positively pre-
vent the disease from developing.
Again, the common belief that a
mad dog will run with his tail between
his legs, and froth at the mouth is a
mistake. The mad dog carries his
tail in quite natural position, and
while the mouth may be open from
paralysis of the lower jaw, yet he
can not truly be said to froth at the
mouth. The mad stone is fake, pure
and simple. 1t Is nothing but piece
of porous stone like soap stone)
which when dried and then placed on
moist surface will absorb water or
blood or anything of fluid nature.
After a person is bitten by a mad
dog the germs of the disease are
very soon absorbed into the system.

has been obtained through systematic
breeding for milk production. We

judgment and lead us to follow ex-
ceptional types rather than the gen.
eral type.

etc.
Fees of all sorts, including consular,
letters patent, etc, brought into the
treasury the sum of $5.222, 994.92
There was received from the immigra-
ton fund the sum of $3,3SS,S 94.57. The
Central Pacific railroad indebtedness
was partly liquidated by the payment
of $5,09S,227.41, and the federal tax
on national banks brought in $2,SSS,-
721.19.
There were numerous other items
which were classed under the general
head of miscellaneous receipts
They included $1,177,752.70, which was
a payment of interest by the Pacific
railways; s1.329, 791, received from the
sales of government property; $751;
979, received from judicial fees, fines.
etc. in the federal courts; $607 ,004,
received from customs fees, fines, pen.
alties, etc, and host of other items,
running down to one for $12,S6i,
which was the amount received from
the proceeds of town sites in the re-.
clamation service.
How the Money Is Paid Out.
The disbursements of the govern.
ment for the last fiscal year may be
bulked lnder the following general
headings:

Interest on the public debt ...... q, 426 13S
The general heading civil estab-
lishment" covers the cost of main
tanning the three great branches of
the government. the legislative, the
executive, and the judicial.
During the last fiscal year there
was disbursed for the maintenance of
the legislative branch of the govern
ment the sum of s13, 7SS,SS6. This in
cludes the salaries and mileage of
senators and representatives, the gen.
eral salary account of both the lower
and upper houses. the cost of main
tanning the library of congress, the
botanic garden, and the capitol, and
the maintenance and cost of operat-
ing the government printing office.
This last item is about one-half of
this general appropriation, the amount
disbursed on it's account during the
year having been $6,394,S10.

exactly what it costs to run the Unit

the existing sources of revenue is
interesting.
The only basis of such information,
If detailed and accurate figures are 70
be given, is obviously to be found
in the reports covering the fiscal year
which ended on June 80, 1908. In
that year the receipts and disburse-
ments of the government were as fol

The two great sources Of income
are. of course, the customs duties and
the internal revenue taxes. For that
fiscal year the government received
1886, 10. 1929 in customs duties and
1921, 711,126,70 in internal revenue
taxes. Thus more than five-sixths "
the total revenue is received from
these two sources.
An analysis of the internal revenue
receipts shows that $140,15S,S was
received from the tax on spirits; S49,-
S62,754 from the tax on tobacco. and
$50 ,S07,6l7 from the tax on fermented
liquors. The tax on oleomargarine
netted $954.304, and the small tax Of

other Sources of Revenue.
The other sources of governmental
revenue are of great number and in
finite variety, although the amounts
derived are comparatively small.
In the last fiscal year the sale of
public lands netted $9,731, $50, and the
profits ON coinage, bullion deposits,
etc, amounted to $11,22s.SS6.62. These

AN IMPORTANT CASE.

A short time ago Hon. Samuel w
Williams, the Attorney General of Va
elect, was attending court at WEIGH
w. Va. The opposing counsel in s
case he was trying was Judge Saunders
who used to be member of the West
Virginia Supreme Court, but resigned
to again enter into practice. From the
newspapers We learn that in the course
of the trial Judge Saunders called
Judge Williams liar. In the heat OF
the moment Judge Williams picked
up an inkwell and threw it at Judge
Saunders cutting his head. The ex-
tent of the cut is not made clear, but
since the alteration grand jury has
indicted Judge Williams for felony,
and the Governor of West Virginia has
issued rsquisition for Judge Williams
which has come into the hands OF
Gov. Swanson. The friends of Judge
Williams have, in many instances,
urged him not to 20 there voluntarily
for trial. Others have urged Governor
Swanson not to grant the requisition,
the reasons given being that the offense
did not warrant felony Indictment as
the injury was slight and without
malice, that an Indictment for assault
and battery would have been sufficient
