RABIES IN CATTLE.
BY M. n. REYNOLDS, Veteri-
marian, University Farm, St.
Paul.
: :. :. !. !. !. :. !. !. !. !. !. !. + !. !

Veterinarians are very frequently
asked as to the danger from milk,
blood, or saliva of rabid cattle. The
experience and observations of many
authorities indicate that there Is
slight, or almost no risk, from milk
consumed in the ordinary way. 1t is
conceivable that milk from a rabid
COW might produce rabies in case of
distinct injury or abrasion of the
mucous membrane lining the mouth,
stomach, or intestines. 1t might be
possible. also, for such milk to prove
dangerous to very young infants, on
the theory that the mucous membrane
lining the digestive tract of the infant
is less resistant to germ infection
that in case of older people.
Actual experience shows, however,
that such infections, either from milk
in connection with an abraded mucous
membrane or when given young in
fants must be exceedingly rare.
1t has been shown by experiments
that dogs may be fed the brain of a
rabid dog, or milk from a rabid COW
without harm; but if broken glass,
for example, be mixed with the feed
so as to scratch the lining membrane
then rabies may be produced in the
dog by such feeding of either brain o.
milk. Sanitation officers are quite
generally agreed in the view that the
danger from consumption of milk is
not of much practical Importance. 1t
happens occasionally that people use
milk from a COW that is developing
rabies before they know what is
wrong with her. OF course, no one
would use milk from a COW that was
evidently rabid.
Experiments have shown that the
danger from virulent blood is exceed
ingly variable. If thoroughly dried
for two or three days it loses virulence
to such an extent that it is probably
not dangerous. However, if blood Or
brain substance in any considerable
quantity remains frozen it will retain
virulence for a long time. 1t is found
that such material does not retain
dangerous virulence at room tempera-
ture more than two or three days after
it has been thoroughly dried.
There is ordinarily little or no dan
ger from saliva around the COW yard
or straw pile, because the virus is de.
stroyed by the sun, or dried by the
lection by incubation is so slight.

TO CAN PlEPLANT.
Best Method Is to Cook 1t in Mod

Best Method Is to Cook It in Mod
erateIy Hot Oven.
Wash and cut tender young pie
plant into half-inch lengths. Select a
granite pan of the desired size, put a
layer of the pieplant in the bottom,
cover with sugar, add another layer
of pieplant. another of sugar, and con-
tinue in this manner until all is in,
having sugar on top. Put in moder.
ate oven and bake until the pieplant
is tender. Put into sterile jars and
SEAL Use pieplant and sugar in the
proportion of one cup of sugar to one
and one-half quarts of the pieplant.
Do not stir the material, as stirring
breaks the pieces of pieplant and gives
it a mussy appearance.
Pieplant canned in this manner is
much superior to that cooked on top
of stove.--Mary L. Bull, Domestic
Science, University Farm, st. Paul.

SUM- ER PICNICS.

When out for days rest in the
country, or at the lake, take a ham,
mock and a few pillows as well as
cushion or two; the children will en-
JOY them, if the grown-ups will give
them a chance.
Light wooden plates, which may be
destroyed at the days end, aluminium
cups and other utensils which are nee
essary of aluminium make the basket
much lighter.
A goodly quantity of juicy fruit will
allay thirst, although water is quite
q necessity when preparing a meal.
A box of sandwiches we'll wrapped
to keep them moist, eggs which may
be cooked au natural or scrambled.
The coffee may be ground and in the
cheese cloth bag already to drop into
the pail of boiling water and produce
the nectar of the gods.
A salad is another indispensable
adjunct to proper picnic. There are
SO many to choose from that one can
make no mistake. The best way to
prepare salad to carry on picnic is
to have the dressing in jar and the
salad in another receptacle, ready to
combine when the meal is ready.
A most delicious cake to serve at
nicnic and one which is always a ia
vorite, is sponge cake with whipped
cream. Carry the small cakes and
jar of the cream all whipped, sweet
ened and favored, and fill the cakes
just before serving time.
Lemonade may be prepared all
ready for the addition of water. Con-
deIsed milk may be carried, if the
fresh product is not obtainable.
Frankfurters and potatoes are quite
satisfying as menu, especially for the
men of the party. The potatoes may
be baked in the ashes and the sausage
cooked in pail of boiling water.
For the busy mother who finds it
impossible to go away from home for
even day, a shady porch or back
yard will make a restful change from
the ordinary everyday serving at the
dining table. Let the young folks do
the carrying back and forth; they will
enjoy helping, and think it is a great
lark.
A piece of sheet iron to put over
the stones and fire, if out in the coun-
try, makes a fine stove to set the
frying pan and coffee pot on.

WAYS OF SERVING RHUBARB.

Rhubarb is such wholesome plant,
and at this season of the year very
plentiful in the market, that the poor
est purse can afford few pounds to
serve as it is best enjoyed. The pink
skinned variety is more attractive
when cooked, and that is the kind
to buy when getting root for your
kitchen garden. While it is tender
and reasonable in price is the time
you can get it for winter or make the
various conserves and preserves
which are such favorites.
Many can rhubarb in cold water.
Fill perfectly sterile jar with the
cut plant, put the jar under the cold
water faucet and fill it to overlooking.
Then seal. and put in cool, dark
place. This rhubarb can be used for
pies very nicely in the winter months.
Spiced Rhubarb.-This is delicious
to serve with meats. To two pounds
of rhubarb cut in inch pieces, add
pound of sugar, set on the back of the
range and add bag of mixed spices;
cook slowly until thick, remove the
spice bag and turn into glasses. When
cold cover closely.
Rhubarb Puddins.-Spread a few
slices of bread generously with butter,
sprinkle over it a grating of nutmeg;
line baking dish with the bread and
cover with finely cut rhubarb, add an
other layer of bread and rhubarb and
add sufficient sugar to sweeten. Bake
in a moderate oven until the rhubarb
Is well done. Serve with a sauce of
butter and sugar creamed together
and seasoned with nutmeg. Or
sauce of cream and sugar is good.
Rhubarb conserve.-Take equal
parts of rhubarb and sugar, let stand
over night, add half pound of blanched
almonds, two lemons and an orange
sliced; reIsove the seeds and put all
the ingredients through the meat
grinder. Cook until smooth and thick,
then put into glasses. For those who
enjoy figs, half pound will be an ad-
dition to this conserve.

SmartWeed.
Smartweed is not usually trouble
some in cultivated fields. If low land
and marshes are drained and put un-
pear. In low pastures or meadows
that can not be drained or titled the
smartweed should be cut frequently
enough to prevent seeding. Grasses
adapted to the conditions should be
sown thickly to crowd it out.

Degrees to Fit the Men
The commencement season marks
the period when colleges and uni
versities make round-shouldered a
large number of more or less worthy
individuals by loading them down
with honorary degrees. Like all
things human this degree business
has it's sublime and it's ridiculous
sides. For a leading educational in
stitution to confer occasionally a
for instance, to make a doctor of
few degrees on men of especial note
who have proven their intellectual
calibre by pre-eminent service in
the law or letters or science, is a
highly craditable proceeding to both
parties concerned. But when each
year a host of LII. DIS, A. B. s., Phi,
DIS, S. T. DIS, ETC., are dropped
about, it sometimes seems promis-
cUously, the whole proceeding ap-
proaches a farce. In many cases
mercenary considerations control. A
college cOnfers a high-sounding title
upon some person of wealth or Off
cial standing, principally if not en-
tirely because it hopes to profit by
currying favor with such person.
And were the truth known it would
be surprising how assiduously men
sue for such favors, in order to
swing a few capital letters after
their written names. The conception
of a degree such as colleges are
supposed to confer is not as a re-
ward for material success or politi-
cal standing. 1t is a hard stretch,
for instance, to make a doctor of
laws cover a public official who is
not even a lawyer, though perhaps
in one sense he might be considered
doctor of laws. Nor does it seem
appropriate to place the laurel
wreath in the shape of a college
degree upon the brow of some mil
lionaire who made his fortune by
selling self-dumping rat traps of por-
GUS plasters. To prevent the further
spread Of the homogeneous, we sug-
gest the invention of a few new hon
orary degrees, reserving the old ones
for persons especially fitted for them
through culture and lifework. For
instance, why not B. D., doctor of
Bullion), for Mr.. Moneybags, who,
it is hoped will see his way clear
to add to the college endowment
next year; S. 3. NJ, master of Spit
BALD, to the famous box artist, who
has shed renown on his alma mater
by striking out IA giants in a single
game; P. P. NJ, master of Practical
Politics), to the candidate who beat
the field and won the Office by rush
ing his auto hardest Others as
appropriate will suggest them

Has a Wider Work

An item last week announced
that DR.. Stephen G. Barnes had
become a member of the faculty of
the University of Vermont. 1t
should be added that the work to
which he has been called is not
simply nor mainly the teaching of
mathematics. He is to be director
of the work and studies of the
Christian Association in the Uni
versity, and religious advisor and
helper of the students, a kind of
college pastor. Burlington friends
have desired to secure him for such
a work, but it is a new position, for
which there is no endowment, and
therefore been associated with a de-
partment of college teaching.
