q mile-a fact not so remarkable. when
1t is considered that single stool Of
wheat may produce more than so
heads. which necessarily require a
great many feeders to keep up the
food supply.
The plant was taken from land
which during the past three years has
grown potatoes and other cultivated
crops. The object lesson II teaches
Is very plain. A proper system OF
summer following or Of rotation OF
crops together with thorough plowing
and careful maintenance OF the sur
face mulch. will permit the moisture
that falls during normal years to be
stored to considerable depth in the
soil. II the moisture is thus present,
the wheat roots have the power to
forage into the deep" In search OF It.
This fact enables the dry farmer to
mature his crop Of grain with little or
no rainfall during the growing season.

MANY CASES OF
RABIES IN WEST
Much Loss Iias Been Caused TO
1.-Two Stock and In Several
Localities People Have
Been Bitten.
CBy l.. ". CASS. Kansas.)

During the past year there have
been many cases Of rabies In Kansas
and other western states which have
caused much loss Of live stock and in
several localities people have been
bitten by rabid dogs.
This Is one OF the Oldest diseases
known and 1t was described by Aristo-
tie In the fourth century, b. c. The
season OF the year makes very little
difference. as the disease Is just as
prevalent in the winter as in summer
This Is contrary to the ideas Of many
persons who think that July and Au.
gust known as dog days" Is the
only time that dogs are subject to
rabies.
Tho .isease Is caused In nearly all
cases by the bite OF rabld animal
but It Is possible to contract rabies
from the saliva the tears from the
eyes or the milk Of a rabid animal
The rabid dog Is source OF danger
n few days before the symptoms OF the
disease appear. but in no case before
he was bitten by rabld animal or
otherwise inoculated.
Hot weather. lack OF water, or I'll
treatment will never in themselves
produce rabies.
The symptoms seldom develop In
less than II days after the animal was
bitten-most commonly three to six
weeks-but they may not show from
six months to year. Not all animals
bitten develop the disease. 1t de-
pends somewhat on the part OF the
body which was bitten.
In man there Is less danger II bit

the bare parts OF the body. the face
being the most dangerous. 1t Is not

In cattle. they arc prone to chase
chickens and dogs and occasionally
run at man. often falling down. with
a twitchlng Of muscles. but seldom

Horses are more vicious than cat.
tie, biting the manger. himself or any.
thing within reach.
Treatment consists Of the Pasteur
process which must be taken before
the symptoms have developed. In
order to be effective It must be taken
within a very few days after being
bitten by a rabid animal. The mad
stone" Is Of DO use as q prevention
Of rabies.

Why a Man Likes a Dog.

"Why does a man like dogs" re.
sponded the suffragette lady, fiercely,
and repeated: why does man IKE
dog?
well, there are numerous reasons,
though a dog is not reasonable be-
ing. A dog will lick the hand mat
beats it; a dog will eat crust and
bone and bless the giver; a dog thinks
whatever a man does is right and
proper; a dog has no rights that a
man is bound to respect; q dog asks
no embarrassing questions; dog Is
always grateful, no matter for what;
dog does not ask the man to stay at
home nights; dog is satisfied to love
the man whether the man loves the
dog or not; dog submits to any and
all impositions without protest; q dog
does not consider itself mans equal;
a dog lets man have his own way;
dog doesn't want to vote; a dog Is
just as glad to see a man when he
gets in at 3 o'clock in the morning,
almost helpless, as though he hadn't
gone out at all; a dog has no mother
in sight, and dog can't talk back
can't talk back, mind you, nor won't
talk back. That is why man likes
a dog"

the wind quickly dries them and

But when the soil is plowed deep and
the surface tightly packed. all mois-
ture that falls is retained for an in.
credible length Of time. and feeds the
roots Of the wheat during the sum.
mer months when no rain falls.
The giant seeders plant only half
bushel Of wheat to the acre. which
Is sufficient for the needs Of the Tow
grade farmer" Under such conditions
yield OF ten bushels of wheat to the
acre means good profit to the indl.
vidual who farms by wholesale. Such
a yield would spell poverty for the
small farmer with a hundred or two
acres-but there is where the differ
ence between hlgh-grade farming and
low.grade farming comes In, Just as
In mining.
The farmers who have begun this
task Of whipping the desert" are
alive to all the scientific aids that
have been developed in recent years.
They have studied the various dry
farming theories from Campbell's
down, but are generally following the
Kelly system. Kelly Is plain.
hard.handed farmer who has lived for
years on the high plains Of eastern
Colorado. and who has followed his
own unique method Of crop raising
with such good results that he Is now
wealthy. Kelly plows deep the first
year. but afterward pays little atten.
tion to the cultivation Of the soil In
stead OF fighting the weeds and Rus.
sian thistles. he uses them as an aid.
He plants his wheat among them, be-
cause the weeds act as a protection
to the seeds. when the hot, dry
winds Of early spring and late fall are
blowing.
The question OF acclimatized seed
is also one to consider In reclaiming
the desert. either by wholesale or
retail means. About twenty years
ago Robert Gauss Of Denver began a
series Of experiments, in the belief
that a drought-resisting wheat could
be developed. He conducted an ex-
perimental farm on the high plains
east Of Denver. each year planting
selected seed from the crop Of the
preceding year. In this way he
worked noticeable changes In the
form Of wheat, and his theory prom
ised such excellent returns that now
1t is being carried on by the depart
ment Of agriculture. as well as by
various state agricultural colleges in
the west and the Carnegie Desert
laboratory at Tucson. AriI.
With grains adapted to the Pc
culiar soil and climatic conditions of
the semi-arid region. and with giant
traction machinery plowing and cul.

would seem to be In sight. and the
hardest Of American agricultural
problems would appear TO be solved.
