The searchlight. [volume] (Culbertson, Mont.) 1902-current, 1910-06-03

next test of obedience was the refusal
OF food. A dog was chained to a tree
and ordered to guard some object,
such as bunch of keys. When I eau
tiously fished for the treasure with my
cane the dog rushed at me savagely,
Juggling at his chain. growing and
gnashing his teeth. An appetizing bit
of sausage that l had offered to dis
tract the animals attention was re-
gretfully shifted at and then con-
temptuously ignored. The experiment
was repeated with all the dogs with
the same result. Track. the champion
Of the corps and the winner of many
prizes. did not even turn his nose
toward the sausage.
One of the officers then beckoned to
Crete and directed her, by a gesture,
to search for something hidden in a
clump Of bushes at the back Of the
garden. Crete followed the indicated
direction and soon returned with a
two-mark piece in her mouth.
After witnessing these specimens OF
school work we went out into the open
fields to see the dogs track and arrest
supposed criminals. A crowd of curl
GUS onlookers had already collected.
A young man, who subsequently
proved an uncommonly tame and
stupid malefactor. was enveloped In q
heavy. padded leather coat. which
showed the marks of numerous dog
bites. and directed to lay a trail by
walking across a meadow and then to
conceal himself. Several other trails
had been previously laid across the
same field. A striking exhibition was
then witnessed. Track and another
dog followed all of the trails. bringing
back handkerchief from one of them,
and finally traced and discovered the
criminal and sprang upon him, but re-
leased him instantly at their masters
command. The sight made me shud-
der. These wise and faithful animals
could become savage and rayenous
beasts when duty demanded. They al
ways seize their victim by the throat
or the wrist. and wild pistol shot
only redoubles their zeal and ferocity.
The poor fellow who impersonated the
criminal was bathed In sweat. which
was not due solely to his leather coat.
The exhibition closed with an
aquatic performance in the neighbor.

GUARDING STATES HEALTH.
pr. Townsend Looking After Infant ParaIysis-Says People Need Not Get Excited.

The state board of health. among complaints and requests for further information such as the complaint over the condition of a highway or information over the laws relating to | the discharge of sewage or informa- tion concerning all the legislation of tuberculosis, made or desired by man or institution is now receiving letters from the health officers in the towns
 of Connecticut on how to prevent and how to manage anterior poliomyeli- tis, known as fnfantile paralysis, the disease being current in one or two
 places. Dr. Joseph H. Townsend, sec retary of the board, is making out a statement in reply, saying that the
 disease should be treated as any oth- CT infectious disease. The only meth
 cd to prevent it's spreading is quar- antine. And health officers will find his statement in the next number of the bulletin which. issued monthly,
 will appear on August 15.
 Dr. Townsend said there were per- haps Is cases in the state. there be- ing several in Meriden, but he did not feel that the unaffected were in any danger. The requests by the health officers have been sent in to make ready for war should war be neces- no increase and probably the disease will disappear. Cool weather will be of great assistance, as infantile paralysis appears only in warm about a dozen cards reporting in- stances of it.
 Medical authorities would like to know just what causes the disease. The old theory advanced was that the germ passed into the system with the food, and that arrived in the stomach it became associated with the blood cOrpuscles. In the blood the germ gives off toxines, which, all though rarely fatal usually leave the affected person crippled. The second theory. which is more modern, is that the germ enters the blood by passing through the nose and throat and into the spinal column. The disease is somewhat of the nature of spinal meningitis. Dr. Townsend emphati- cally declares that the people need not be excited.

-----------~- A NEW CHYSANTHEMUM.
Gardener BeasIey Has a White Sport from Yellow Plant at Ghianbouer Greenhouses.

When the chrysanthemum season opens this fall it will hold much more than ordinary interest for Charles T. Beasley, gardener at Ghlanbouer for Mrs. William C. Lanman, as he has his hopes centered upon producing a new white chrysanthemum.if his hopes ma terialize it means fame and mony as a reward for Mir Beasley.
 Last fall he had an experience un- heard of among chrysanthemum grow CTS, it is said. when a standard yellow threw a white sport and it is this white which is the new variety he hopes to establish. Besides the origin al stock he has over eighty plants from the parent stem, which are re- ceiving his best attention, in the hope that they will perpetuate the white. On this depends the claim for producing q new variety. when the plants come to be submitted to the best chrysanthe- mum experts in the country.
 In the well kept greenhouses at Ghlanbouer are also 700 chrysanthe- nuns which will be in blossom about the last of September. Dahlias are just coming into flower, and will soon make a superb showing. Tuberous be- gonias and gloxinia are among the showy exhibits at present
 A big planting of hybrid teas contain promise of midwinter beauty. & Last year the greenhouses produced 1lS00 roses of this sort, but there will be more this season

REBEkAHS WILL FURNISH
 LUNCHEON AT COST.
New Plan for Annual Picnic at Fair
 view Home Outing.

The board of managers of F'airView, Odd Fellows Home corporation, have decided that the home cannot con- sistently furnish food to persons who are not inmates, and will not supply the Labor day dinner this year. The dinner is served at the annual Home picnic. when Odd Fellows throughout the state come with their families to see FairvieW and it's inmates. The action Of the board of managers, how ever does not mean that there will be no picnic, but means of providing eat ables have been found.
 To Osprey Rebekah lodge of New London has been assigned the task of feeding the picnickers at a nominal price. The lodge has decided to pro vide luncheons for visitors at a charge to cover cost of serving the food and no more. By this provision the visitors will not have to carry lunches and will find plenty to eat at the home.
 The state picnic, inaugurated by To- cal lodges four years ago has proved a success and is looked forward to each year by Odd Fellows in other cities with a great deal of pleasure Osprey lodge will have charge of feed ing the visitors this year.. Orient or Home lodge next year, and other Re- bekah lodges of the district will have an opportunity in coming years. The Rebekahs are satisfied that the change in arrangements will not detract from the state wide interest in the picnic which has prevailed.

TO LAY OUT DIAMOND
 AT MOHEGAN PARK.
Superintendent Duff Will Have One
 Near PIatt Avenue Entrance.

Supt. John Duff of Mohegan park expects to fill a long felt want by opening up a baseball diamond within the park limits within a day or two. It will be located on the plot of ground that was leveled up and seeded down along the road near the Piatt avenue entrance The grass has now got a sufficiently strong hold to make it fit for cutting, which will be done at once and a diamond laid out. This will probably be in playing shape early next week.
 @There are to be number of swings placed around this playground. These are always popular and in constant use. The park is weekly becoming more of a resort for strollers and picnic parties who find it cool and comfortable there at all times. On Sundays Superinten- dent Duff estimates that there are about 1000 people who visit the park. All the paths and roads now have sign boards, which are a great convenience and make it easy to find the way around.
 For the boys the lake continues to be the popular spot for daily swimmin parties. This year it is about foot and a half higher than it was al the same time last year.
 No road work is going on at present, but the contract for the Washington street entrance has been signed and work will be started on that road very shortly.

NEW ENGLAND SOILS.
What Commissioner of Soils Bonsteel Has to Say of Them in Southern New England.

J. A. Bonsteel commissioner of soil survey, bureau of soils at Washington, D. C., was in town Thursday the guest of Congressman Higgins, after central Connecticut and supervising the work of the surveying engineers in Windham county with headquarters at Willimantic MT. BOnsteeI is a practi- cal farmer himself and does an exten- sive dairying business in New York state where the farmers produce milk and find satisfactory profit in selling it at two and One-haIf cents a quart. They do intensive farming and grow three or four tons of alfalfa on land where the New England farmer grows a ton of timothy, which for feeding value is about the value of bran. He tunities for dairying by the application of modern methods to the soil, since Boston is now importing milk from New York state, and paying five cents a quart duty upon cream imported from Canada.
 He finds that. fruit growing ought to pay here, and he says there are farms with old orchards upon them which would pay while new orchards are being installed The old trees should be pruned and scraped and washed with lime. sulphur and salt mixture. and the ground plowed to a depth of two or two and one-half inch es beneath the trees-to a non-root- disturbing depth-and fertilized and that a good crop of potatoes can be taken from rows planted between the trees. He finds that conditions here in southern New England are adapted to intensive truck gard and that there is room for profitable business if the farmer will study and meet the needs of the people to be served in the towns and villages.
 MT. Bonsteel views with pleasure the revival of the orcharding spirit here and he feels sure that better fruit can be grown anywhere than in New England valleys and upon New Eng land hills. He sees in this movement the dawn of a new era for New Eng land fruit growers.
 What New England needs is to put off the old methods and put on the new-to put more into the ground and to take more out of it.
 The soil survey, of which MT. Bon- steel is the head. has in it's explorations come to recognize 13 great soil prov inces 5S soil series and 461 soil types. Of these types some 130 are more or less local in character, while the re- mainder are of widespread occurrence within their respective provinces. For example, the Norfolk sand is a warm. porous soil of the Atlantic and gulf production of truck crops This type has been mapped In 34 different areas, located in 14 states, extending from New England to Texas. The total area covered by this type in the areas map ped amounts to 1.702,00 acres or 2,660 square miles. It's extent within the total area of these If states is many times as great. Throughout the region where it occurs this soil has definite crop adaptation and the variety of crops which may be raised successfully upon it is limited by nature
