Mad dogs are not always wild-cyed,
frothine at the mouth and determined
upon attacking every person they
meet The report contends that when
the attack first begins TO develop dogs
are frequently more playfully inclin-
ed. the rahid dog is sick, ne is not
necessarily running wild and furious.
he is frequently obedient up 10 a late
stage aud often seems to have a bone

Another failacy is the general belief
that rabies are more easily transmit
ed in the summer than in other
months. The explanation Is that more
people are moving about and therby
become subject TO attack. Nor IS the
malady confined TO any climate ar
region.

as real dangers, because they fire.

The average period OF incubation Is

WATER BRINGS OUT ALKALl
First Step Is to Treat the Soil with
Gypsum, which VIII Change
Soda to Sulphate.

Water brings alkali to the surface
wherever irrigation is practiced and
water will take it out. There are two
kinds of alkali-the sulphate of So
dunn and the carbonate of sodium.
The first is called white alkali and
the second black alkali. The latter
is much more difficult to wash out
than the white kind. The first step
will be to treat the soil with gypsum,
which, being the sulphate of calcium
or lime, will change the soda in the
soil to a sulphate and then it can be
washed out. After trees are once
well established there is not likely to
be any trouble from alkali and espe-
cially is this so If the soil is well
drained and the soda is the white kind
or is changed to the white alkali by
the use of gypsum. When a fielq of
low land is badly affected with aka
line salts it may be necessary to put
in system of open drains. A tiling
system is still better and should be
laid three and one-half feet deep q
distance of so feet apart or so.

the general farmers all over the coun-

He made his accustomed turn at the

He was confident that the shadow

he was not mistaken. AS he watched,
