DR.. Rambaud decr1es because, he says.
1t gives false sense Of security. But
DR.. Anna Williams, who Is devoting
her life to the study OF rabies In the
research laboratory of the New York
Board of Health, says she is willing
to take her chances on cauterizatiOn,
II the wound Is not too deep. The
average person, however, will prefer
to take the Pasteur treatment Since
its discovery in 1884 it has been tried
on more than 100000 people, and Of
those who took it only one-haH of one
per cent have died.
On the subject OF the disease itself
there is not much room for question.
The existence of the virus has been
proved beyond all reasonable doubt by
inoculating a whole series of dogs, one
from another, and having each one de-
velop the same symptoms and die In
the same way. But, what has stood In
the way Of greater knowledge, aside
from the treatment, has been the
doubt as to the nature of the virus.
Some hold it is a bacterium, the low
est form of plant life, and others that
1t Is a protozoon, the lowest form of
animal life. Bacteria are subject to
epidemics; the known protozoons are
not. The layman can only hope for
the protozoon conclusion.
The Pasteur treatment normally
consists of injections into the flank of
an emulsion of small portions Of the
spinal cord of inoculated rabbits dis
solved in a salt solution. For bites on
the hand or body, If the patient begins
the treatment within week, 1t is con-
tinued for eighteen days. II the delay
| is greater. 1t is continued for several
days longer Pasteur himself laid
| down the rules which have been fol
lowed more or less closely ever since
But experience has. shown that this
treatment is much less successful for
bites on the face, where the reach tc
the nerve center Is shorter. To meet
the emergency face bites have given
rise to, within the past two years 8
new treatment has been developed
which immunizes the patient In twelve
days 1t Is rather heroic, but 1t has
been used a great many times without
bad results, saving the lives Of many
who had no time to spare. Instead O.
using virus the virulence of which has
been allowed to die out, as in the ole
method, the emulsion consists Of. {

immunized against rabies mixed will

The Pasteur treatment Is only pro

MAKE SUCCESS ON DRY FARM
Governor Brooks Of Wyoming Makes
Timely Suggestions to Home-Seek-
ers In Semi-Arid Sections.

Governor Brooks Of Wyoming makes
the following statements which those
who live In or perhaps intend to go
to dry farming sections should care
fully observe and be governed by
them:
First: Those who occupy these
lands should go with some means In
hand by which they can sustain them
selves independent Of the product Of
their land until such land can be made
nroductive. This Is fact that we
have observed In our going through
those sections. The dry farming area
is quite different from areas that have
heretofore been opened by the set
tier. When our prairie sod Is turned
over It is ready for crop OF some
kind the first season. Not SO, as
rule, when the sod is turned in these
drv sections. Now and then there are
exceptional seasons that will help the
occupant of that land to get some
thing from that first sod, but 1t Is not
safe to depend upon 1t.
Dry farming should follow we'll es-
tablished rules. Most OF those rules
are now well understood by those who
have made it study and have worked
it out upon the land itself, until 1t can
now be said that something Is known
as to successful detail in the handling
of dry land soils. We will not stop to
outline those rules here for much has
been written and said concerning 1t.
There are experiment stations that
are doing good work In these dry Sec
tons which will constantly illustrate
the value of what is called dry farm
ing methods. Let the farmer in those
sections keep in touch with what they
do or not do at those places and be
governed by their successes or fall
ures as the case may be.
There is much evidence now that
some lands that were called worthless
by reason Of the lack Of rainfall can
be made to sustain good comfortable
homes when that soil is handled In
ways which are now understood but
which were not known a few years
ago.
The general opinion from those who
are good authorities, is that when any
one settles west Of the Goth meridian
on good land which cannot be 1rri
gated, such a party should own his
land outright, either by purchase al
the proper price or by location under
, government authority. He then should
pillow deeply as soon as possible in or
der to make cistern in which to hold
, the water that comes In limited
, amounts from rains and melting
SHOWS. Keep the surface Of that deeI
plowed land very thoroughly cultivat
, ed so that the moisture which he has
already obtained shall not escape, bu
will be eventually used by the crol
, which he wishes to grow.
In all probability continued expert
: ence will demonstrate that man 81
' located should cultivate one part O
, his land one year, and summer fallov
the other part that year, which mean
, to keep the top part very thorough.
cultivated after every rain or deposi
/ of moisture, so that when he grows
n crop on that field the following yea
q he will have the accumulation of tw'
n years. water to aid him in his GROWN,
crop.

when the morning comes, he Is foam
ing at the mouth-a mad dog. The bit
Ing mania Is on him, and he attacks
everything, cattle. horses, dogs, cats,
children. Fortunately the only other
animal which gets the biting mania Is
the horse. The disease is spread In
almost every case by dogs.
After two or three days, II he has
not meanwhile been shot. he comes
back. but. by this time. he has done
his damage. He is weak in the hind
legs, then in the fore legs His eyes
become covered with film and his
| under jaw hangs down. Before long
general paralysis sets in and he dies.
The warning which can hardly fail
to be noticed Is the howl, and.
when his owner hears this, 1t
is high time to act. He can
be caught without much danger of
biting, as a mad dog only attacks his
master when the disease has complete
| ly captured his mind. But the saliva
Is already virulent, and gloves should
be worn. Otherwise little of 1t pene-
trating the skin or rubbed from the
hand to a freshly shaved chin Is
enough to communicate the disease.
In dumb rabies the first sign is the
dropping of the jaw. When this hap
pens to a dog. 1t Is only necessary to
place a dish of water before him to
discover whether he has rabies. He
will lick at 1t, If rabid, but he will not
be able to swallow, and the amount In
the dish will remain the same.
AS he cannot bite he is not very
dangerous, but his saliva is as virulent
as II he had furious rabies, and he
should be kept apart Usually a dog
with dumb rabies Is believed to have
bone In his throat. and some kindly
person puts hand In his mouth
literally into the jaws of death.
/. In mixed rabies the dog is more or
less furious. He shows some of the
symptoms of both the other forms
About the only other diseases to
which dogs are prone show them
selves In a way not to be confused
with rabies. Gastric trouble and
rheumatism appear much as in human
beings. and distemper is accompanied
by coughing and sneezing. high
fever and running at the eyes.
The cardinal rule is never to kill a
biting dog If possible to avoid It.
Catch and chain him. and wait to see
If the symptoms of rabies develop. II
he is all right at the end OF a week
those he bit may breathe more free
ly. but, II he becomes rabid. they have
no time to lose.
With the increase In rabies some
knowledge Of what to do for a dogs
victims Is as essential as a pocket sup
ply of potassium permanganate In the
rattlesnake country. DR.. George G
Rambaud. of the Pasteur Institute Of
New York, gives the following direc
lions as first aid to the injured:
The wounds should be treated like
any other infected wounds. Bleeding
should be encouraged. as free flow
Of blood may carry of with 1t a great
: part Of the virus. Then the WOUND
should be thoroughly washed with any
good antiseptic solution. The newer
colloidal silver or silver-salt prepare
: lions are to be preferred, but. in theil
) absence. iodine. a four per cent solu
, ton of carbolic acid. or even lemon
Juice, are useful"
