vessels for years. He had no rela
tves in New Orleans. Several weeks
ago, not far from his headquarters,
Higgins stopped to pet stray dog
which seemed in need of attention.
Almost as soon as the man had
touched the animal the dog turned
on him and bit him once in the upper
lip and again on the right leg. AL
though the injuries were not consid.
cred severe at the time, Higgins
friends induced him to go to the Chart
ty hospital to be examined by sur.
geons. At the hospital Higgins was
turned over to the doctors of the Pas.
teur institute. He was treated sew
eral days when he determined that the
own account left the place before the
treatment had hardly begun. Higgins
left the institute, so 1t is said, in the
face of protests of the surgeons.
30 far as is known Higgins suffered
no i'll effects until seized with a fit in
the barroom at the sight of a glass of
water. The spasm came upon the
man ai a. ouCe, anu Ht DeSdu 10 DARK
and growl and froth at the mouth
Those in the saloon ehdeavored to
hold the man and finally overpowered
him and took him to his rooming
house, where he died soon afterward.
He did not regain consciousness after
the attack of hydrophobia, and con-
tinued to bark and struggle until the
end.
The body was taken to the morgue.
The wound on the lip where Higgins
had been bitten had hardly healed
Friends of the man, who was well
liked in the neighborhood in which
he lived, started a subscription paper
and soon raised enough money to give
the body proper burial.
The tramp dog which inflicted the
fatal bites was killed soon after the in.
cident by man who had seen the
animal attack Higgins.

DRY FARMING is WIDESPREAD
Now an international Institution and
Report of Last Meeting
Widely Circulated.

The dry farming congress is now
an international institution At its
late session, representatives were
present from the United States, Can
ada, Europe, Australia and South
America, says Orange Judd Farmer.
The report of this meeting is of es
pecial value. Portions OF it have re-.
Gently been printed in the Russian
language and distributed among the
Russian farmers. The representa-
tive from Brazil is preparing to trans.
late the report into Portuguese for
distribution in the parts of South
America where the Portuguese Ian.
guage is spoken. A French edition
will soon be printed for the dry farm.
ers of Hayti. Other European coun-
tries are planning to distribute this
important literature very extensively
At the next session of this congress
in Billings, Mont, the coming October
the foreign representation will be
much more complete than ever be-
fore. In so many places the general
principles of dry farming are of such
large value, that 1t pays representa-.
tives from other countries to be on
hand. Two great principles of dry
farming are: Thorough compacting
of the seed bed, leaving the upper sur
face loose to act as soil mulch; and
complete preparation of the soil for
the reception of the seed. This Is a
good practice anywhere, so that even
the man who lives outside of the
semi-arid belt will receive much val.
liable information by getting in touch
with the up-to-date dry farmer.

Il am not unmindful of the fact that

In the semi-arid west, it may appear
that dry farming is entirely foreign
TO the subjects under consideration

Dry farming is becoming one of the

1T is well known fact that the

that both the home and foreign de

Cattle ON Poison Wesds.

One thing that always causes the
Rocky mountain ranchman consider
able anxiety is the effect upon his
cattle of poison weeds which have
been setting up the usual amount OF
damage this season. Old and exper.
fenced cattlemen, say that If the af
fected animals are left severely alone
they will as a general thing come cut
all right; but If they are hustled
around they will surely bloat and die.
The wise cattleman who sees an ami.

will hike out of sight as quickly as
possible for fear of disturbing the
sick beast. If the animal can be LETT

same time we have always noticed a

Parasites on Poultry.

Several varieties of parasites live
on the body as well as on the heads
of poultry. The latter, however, is
limited to the one species known as
red mite which breeds rapidly and II
not checked soon predominates not
only on the birds but in the houses
as well, seeking shelter in the cracks
and crevices. The head louise on
young chicks can be controlled by
greasing the top of the head with
lard or sweet oil, exercising care not
to overdose the parts. The best time
to do this Is after dark, when the
birds have gone to roost and are suf
ficiently asleep to facilitate handling.
For body lice in adult fowls, distribute
insect powder literally through the
plumage, exercising care to get well
into the under coating of the birds
In addition it is also well to use
liquid lice killer or kerosene on the
roosts and even spray the inside OF
the house with it.

1.-THE amount of land which may be
irrigated is, however, limited by the
water supply and the cost of reclama-
ton. When every available second
foot of water has been appropriated
and applied to land that will Justify
the cost of reclamation, and performs
thereon the highest possible duty,
there will remain millions of acres of
land which, under like conditions,
would be as productive as the lands
reclaimed Such lands have hereto
fore been, and are now, chiefly used
for the grazing of livestock. This is
not unimportant, but the function thus
performed is not a 1.-THE of that which
may be performed under different
conditions.
"The limit of production will be
reached at no distant date If cultiva-
ton is confined to lands watered by ir-
rigation or natural rain fall The
thinking mind of man, spurred on no
doubt by anticipated necessity, has
discovered a means whereby these
grazing lands may be made to pro-
duce in greater quantities than under
natural conditions. 1t has been dem
onstrated that the soil, when properly
prepared and cultivated will absorb
and hold moisture. The preparation
and cultivation OF the soil so that it
will gather and retain sufficient rain
fall to produce crops, is dry farming.
or more properly designated, scen-
tific farming In other words, the
soil ia converted into a storage reser-
voir for the moisture which supports
plant life during the season when
precipitation Is not sufficient.
DRY farming is not theory; il is
an accomplished fact, There is vast
area of arabic land which cannot be
reclaimed, and situated where the
rain fall is not sufficient to make pro.
ductive. Consider for moment what
the cultivation of this land will mean
to future production.
Montana possesses less than one
tenth of the lands situated in the
semi-arid west, which can be cult
waited successfully by dry farming
methods. The nine.tenths of the area
situated in other states, will, on the
average, produce as abundantly az the
one-tenth in Montana"
