The mite of common sheep or cat

The time between the first mite in

number are involved, symptoms of
scabies may make their appearance in
two weeks, when a smaller number of
parasites gain a foothold from four to

The disease is communicated from

zEBRAs IN AFRICA.
They Are a Fearful Pest and a Menace
to Civilization.

They Are a Fearful Pest and a Menace
to Civilization.
Zebras in Africa are a nuisance and
a menace to civilization, according to
John r. McCutcheon in "Hunting Ad-
ventures In the Big Game Country"
he says:
Then there's the ubiquitous zebra,
almost as numerous as the kongoni.
You see vast herds Of zebras at many
places along the railway. and there
after. as you roam about the level
spots Of east Africa, you are always
running into herds Of them. At first
the sight of a herd Of zebras is a
surprise, for yol have been accus-
toned to seeing them in the small
numbers found in captivity. 1t is a
source of passing wonder that these
rare animals should be roaming about
the suburbs Of towns in hundred lots.
You decide that it would be a shame
to shoot a zebra and determine not to
join in this heartless slaughter.
Later on your sentiments will IN
dergo a change. Everybody will tell
you that the zebra is a fearful pest
and must be exterminated if civiliza.
ton and progress are to continue. The
zebra is absolutely useless. and efforts
to domesticate him have been without
good results He tramps w the
plains. breaks down fences, tears VI
the cultivated fields and really fulfills
no mission in life save that of supply
ing the lions with food. AS long as
the zebras stay the lions will be there
but the settlers says that the lions are
even preferable to the Zebras.
Under the old game ordinance expir
ing December Is, 1909. a sportsman
was allowed two zebras under his
license. Under the new n he is al
lowed twenty. That reveals the att
tude Of east Africa toward the jaunty
little striped pony.

CROWN The ROAD.

Editor, North Dakota Agri-
cultural College.

Growing the road, that is keeping
it higher in the middle so the water
can run off, is one of the most i'm
portant things in keeping a good road
bed. In Fig. 2 is shown a properly
crowned road at the North Dakota
Agricultural college. The photograph
was taken after a heavy rain. Sew
eral wagons had passed; yet notice
that they did not cut in, did not make
any ruts, merely made a little track
where the wheel picked up the mud.
The water can be seen standing in
the bitches along the sides.
AS soon as it begins to dry the split
log drag will be run over the road to
smooth it down and a perfectly
smooth, hard road bed will result.
Had the road bed been level or had
little depressions where the wheel
tracks are the water would have
stood there and worked into the soil.
Every passing wheel that dropped into
the depression would loosen up a
little more soil, and the road become
almost impossible. while if the water
could not stand on it such would not
be the result.

Scabies in Sheep
and Cattle and the
Mango in Horses.
BY L. Van Es, Veterinarian.

+ + !. j. j. !. i. + i i. !. :. + j. + J. X
Scabies or scab is a communicable
disease of the skin produced by the
presence and action Of minute para
sites, spoken of as mites.
The disease in sheep is one of the
oldest known and it's ravages were as
formidable to the flock owner of an
tiquity as to the wool growers of
today.
The actual cause of the disease,
however, raj not discovered until
1909, when Walz discovered the mite
in sheep scab, which was followed in
1872 by Gohier's demonstration of the
parasite of scabies in cattle.
The disease which has been the i'm
mediate cause of great losses to wool
growers has a very wide distribution.
Its ravages in this country, however,
have been greatly diminished by the
enforcement of the intelligent SAM
tary regulations by the United States
Department of Agriculture and the
government of several states.
Cattle scab, however, has only in
the last years become generally dis
/ tributed and now contributes a men.
ace of more or less magnitude, not
only to the cattle interests of the
Western ranges, but also to those OF
other states.
AS mentioned before, scab or scab
les is due to a minute mite. The dis
ase in cattle and in sheep is due tc
the same species of animal, but the
variety causing sheep scab is not para
site in cattle, while the parasite pro
ducing scabies in the latter animals is
harmless in sheep.
The scab mite is technically desig
mated as Psoropter Communis, while
addition of the words "Ovis" OF
BOWS indicates whether the mite is
parasitic on sheep or on cattle.
They prick the skin with their jaws
in order to obtain blood or lymph as
food and in this manner give rise tt

North Dakota exhibited at the Bis
marck exposition. The men who do
mated this cup and the many other
articles put up as prizes at the big
show came across two states to see
what the exposition was like and get
some idea of what North Dakota can
do in the way of variety of vegetables
and grains.
Il am very much surprised at what
they have here" said Mr.. Kluckhohn
when he had completed a thorough in
spection of the exposition. They GER
tainly have made a fine showing for
the state. If they can do this in what
they call a poor year, l don't know
what they can do when they have a
good year"
The ST. Paul merchants took time
from their business merely to show
the people of North Dakota that they
are interested in their welfare. They
have always shown a desire to do all
that they can to benefit the state.
They realize that the more diversified
the products of North Dakota are, the
better it will be for the farmers, the
merchants and the jobbers in the
cities.
st. Paul has always stood ready to
help in times of financial stress and
when crops have been short in any
section, the firms of the capital OF
Minnesota have been ready to extend
all the credit possible to help the local
merchant to get on his feet again.
If merchants in Pittsburgh had
taken a trip as long as those of st.
Paul did, the Eastern men would have
gone as far as Louisville, KY, Newark,
Grand Rapids O Chicago. The dis
lance from Boston to Baltimore is
about the same as from st. Paul ta
Bismarck and the shortest line be,
tween New York and Chicago Is only
9l2 miles,, while the st. Paul jobbers
travelled 500 miles just to stay twelve
hours at the Industrial Exposition.

Nine Hundred Miles to Give Evil

On what was practically the opening
day of the big Industrial Exposition
at Bismarck a special train of st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Duluth business men,
accompanied by some of the big rail
way men of the cities, covered the
AS miles from st. Paul to the capital
of North Dakota in a special train to
spend twelve hours visiting the expo
sition.
In the party were two bank presi-
dents, the heads of two big Wholesale
dry goods houses of st. Paul, a men,
Der of the firm of a big drug house,
members of large fur houses of the
Northwest and managers of other on
Germs which take a large part in the
commercial life of St. Paul. From
Minneapolis there was also a large
delegation of big business men. In
all, nearly fifty business men of the
three big cities of Minnesota spent
their good money to make the trip.
They we're accompanied by j. j. Hill
of the Great Northern and Howard
Elliott, president of the Northern Pa
cific, as we'll as other high railway
officials. Both of these men made ad-
dresses to the people OF North Da-
kota during the day spent at the expo
sition.
The people of Bismarck entertained
the visitors at a big banquet in the
evening and looked after them during
the day.
This trip, for length and for it's pur.
pose, surpasses any trip ever made by
the st. Paul jobbers, despite the fact
that they are we'll known as travellers

The urgent demand for information
concerning the length of the growing
season and the latest date at which
it is safe to plant different crops has
made the publication of the data con-
tanned in Bulletin SO imperative.
The writer's wish to call attention to
the fact that the exact degree of cold
which will injure wheat depends to
some extent upon the stage of growth
the plants have reached, and, possibly,
upon some other minor points. In
the spring eason of growth the order
of tenderness seems to be wheat, oats,
barley, fax, millet and corn.
Flax differs from the other plants
named, in that if it is cut off by frost
at a point below where the first
leaves, called seed leaves, come out,
it loses its power of growth. It is
frequently frosted slightly after it has
reached a height of two inches or
more without being %appreciably in
jured.

degrees Fahrenheit has been taken as
representing what is commonly known
as killing frost" Experiments made
upon the station grounds at Fargo
during the past eight years show that
the shortest time which has elapsed
between killing" spring and fall
frosts is 121 days; the longest time
155 days; the average length of time
1876 days.
The latest spring date was June 8,
and the earliest fall date was Sept. 8.
The earliest spring and the latest fall
dates were April Is and Oct. g..
The average date for the latest
killing" frost is May 10, while the
average for killing fall frost is Sept.
%. Upon a percentage basis the
above figures indicate that a crop
which would be destroyed by a tenn
perature of 26 degrees Fahrenheit
would have the following percentage
OF. risks of being injured by frost:
Twelve and one-half per cent risk of
being killed by frost Sept. 9.
Fifty per cent risk of being killed
by frost on or before Sept. IS.
