EAT RUSSIAN THISTLES
Cattle in Western Kansas Fed Them
for Food.

Russian thistles are proving to be
one of the staple foods for western
Kansas cattle this year. and farmers
in that part of the state say that this
ties make a good food Several hun
dred acres are planted in the Russian
product, none of which was injured
by the drouth or hot weather. Near
the Colorado boundary the crop is
heavy and is good substitute for
other fodder.
/ The thistles are cut before they harden
and make a nutritious food for the
cattle. In many localities in the west
! there is considerable feed for the ami
| mails left over from the large crops last
year. This year one good alfalfa crop
was cut, although the other crops of
alfalfa were damaged by the continued
drouth.
Western Kansas as a whole has re-
ceived more rain this year than east
ern Kansas but the district is badly
burned. At Syracuse. in Hamilton
county, the bluegrass is green in many
places owing to a good water supply
In the counties on the big railroad
systems. the water is good in the wells
and there is little danger of a water
famine in this way. The days are hot
in the district, but the nights are very
coo. on account of the high altitude.
The Arkansas valley in Colorado has
suffered from a lack of rainfall, but
with irrigation has grown great sup
ply of fruits and melons. In Rocky
Ford. Col. this week is the Arkansas
Valley fair. where crops from the Ar
kansas valley in Kansas and Colorado
are placed on exhibition. Melon day is
Thursday of this week, and special
trains Will he run from all points in
Colorado and western Kansas.
The roads in the west part of the
state are in an excellent condition
and motorists from all over the coun-
try travel over the Santa Fe trail to
Colorado and the Pacific coast. With
the exception of the dust, automo-
biles find it agreeable to tour the
country. as the trail is smooth from
Hutchinson to New Mexico or Den
yer. The sandstorms, which hinder
many auto tourists, are few, and
motorists can reach good hotels at
the several cities on the route to

CURE FOR RABIES.
Injection of Quinine Effective After

ST Louis, Sept. 2.-Charles Beardsley.
80 years old, who was bitten by a mad
dog a week ago, has been cured by
city hospital physicians by injections
of quinine into mis- blood. This is the
first similar cure on record.
The patient was beginning to suffer
from commissions when the doctors de-
cided as a last resort TO try the quinine
treatment. DIR. d. L. Harris WAS led
to try the method by an article in d
medical magazine by DR.. Virgil Moon,
of the Mccormick institute in Chicago.
DR.. Harris theory is that the quiCine
