Residents in the southern half O..
Bennington county will be pleased TO
learn that the specialist at the state
laboratory in Burlington found no evil
dence of rabies in the bodies OF the
two dogs which were killed in this
section last week. While the news is

not in the least mean that the author
tiles or the people should relax their
precautions or fail to conform to the
regulations prescribed by the state
board of health. The dog killed in
Arlington was diseased. 1t had trav-
,eled from the southern section of the
flown of Bennington nearly 20 miles
In a northerly direction before the af-
'fiction reached the stage that drove
it to bite eight different persons. In
that long Journey it passed many farm
houses. Nearly every farmer i'll Ven
mont owns dog and it is far from
safe to presume that the mad dog
travelled through three townships and
did not come in contact with others of
its kind

STUNTS FOR THE. BOYS.

The Playground Association OF Amer
lea has set some simple physical tests
which the directors think ought TO be
met by some boys of given ages. Both
town and country boys viii be inter
ested In these. For instance, 1t is ex-
pected of boy twelve years old that
he can chin four times, cover five feet
nine inches in standing broad jump
and run sixty yards in eight and
three-tifth seconds. Boys between
this age and the high school are ex-
pccted 10 chin six times, ftimp six feet
six inches and rum sixty yards in eight
seconds, while boys of high school age
should chin nine times, make run
ming high jump of four feet four inch
es and run 90 yards in twenty eight
seconds, Ii would be interesting to
know whether town or country boys
could the more easily meet these tests.

THE EGG LAYING CONTEST.

Quoted at the Storrs Agricultural col
lege in Connecticut shows the English

White Wyandottes hold third place,
with $50 eggs; Fosters White Leg
horns fourth, with GIG eggs, and
Schmitz's Buff Leghorns fifth, with a
score of 612 eggs. These are the only
pens that have reached or passed the
600 mark. Following are the highest
records attained by pens of the sew
eral breeds which have been entered
in the contest: Barred Rocks, 496;
White Plymouth Rocks, 35o6; White
Wyandottes, SOS; Buff Wyandottes
396; s. C. r. i. Reds, 554; Il, G. X. 1.

Orpingtons, 4S4; Black Orpingtons,
34S; Black Minorcas, 402; Blue An
dalusians, $50; Anconas, 800; Butter
cups, 100 There is little question
that in this contest for practical re-
suits there are many pens of fowls
making high records for eggs that
would score low when 1t came to fine
points and feathers and some pens
that rate low in egg production that
would rank relatively high according
to usual poultry show standards.

A VALUABLE GENERAL PRINCE

The idea is all too common that the
essential principles of dry farming. so
called, have value only for the farmer
who is in the dry farming or semiarid
belt. This idea of freqllent cuitfya-
ton of the soil during dry weather TO
create n dust mulch so rs to conserve
the moisture present in tile soil which
is the chief factor in dry farming,
may on occasions OF drought in sections
where rainfall is usually sufficient be
of the utmost value. During the pres
ent season there is little question that
many fields of oats would have yield
ed from ten to fifteen bushels more
per acre had the field been narrowed
following the late May lIains, in mid
afternoon before the grain reached ten
inches in height. AS 1t was, the Inst
heavy rain packed the soil and the sun
baked 1t, with the result that circula-
ton of soil air and moisture was in
terfered with and the growth of the
grain greatly retarded In the case of
cultivated crops, like corn and potatoes.
the same principle holds-that the dry
er the weather the more frequent the
civilizations should be fors the purpose
OF maintaining the dust mulch.
