Couldn't Fool the Don.

A citizen Of Bangor. Me-. has q skye
terrier dog which has been taught TO
take q paper bag In his mouth and 60
to a restaurant after his dinner. He
goes TO the door OF the establishment
and scratches the outside till he il
admitted. Then he trots down stairs
and deposits his paper bag on the floor
and waits patiently until some meat

er.
The other day the restaurant people
placed some raw potato cuttings in
the bag instead Of meat and twisted II
up as usual. The terrier did not dis
cover the trick until he had reached
the outside door OF the restaurant,
when he suddenly dropped the bag on
the floor. paved Il open and found
out that he had been fooled. He could
not be induced to touch, IL until some
meat had been placed In the bag In

We got the start Of them and took
up our station on the terrace along the
river. Il was there that he witnessed
the scandalons scenes which took
place. and It would be difficult to de-
scribe the surprise and indignation
which they excited In him. When the
king showed himself at the windows
overlooking the garden with the red
cap which one Of the mob had put on
his head he could no longer repress
his indignation. What stupidity" he
loudly exclaimed why have they

No plant disease In this generation

greater difference OF opinion as TO its

this. Possibly no disease which has
appeared since the forties presents a

SELLING THEM OUT

20 an advertisement for an assistant.
he thought that his future was as.

young man facing the struggle Of life.
he appealed to Smith, although for
different reasons than those which
Smith outlined.

There was u girl in Allan Gray's
life. Her name was Mildred and sac
was twenty-five. She was earning q
living in the metropolis two hundred
miles away. Each Of them was put
ting by money toward the day-the
great day when Allan would be able
to earn an income for both of them.
At the end of his first month Of
service Gray's salary was raised from
fifteen dollars to twenty-five. Smith
was rapidly handing over to him the
charge Of the Weekly. The young
mans stinging editorials in particular
aroused the editors appreciation.
"Cive II EN- hot!" said Smith.

In a town OF 100000 inhabitants. To

DATA ON BREEDING FOR SEX
Expert Of Maine Experiment Station
Gives Result Of Investigations
Ho Has Made.

For ages untold the subject OF the
control Of sex has been discussed and
studied over, with very little progress
except to discover that many theories
do not work. At that, knowing what
not to expect is a great deal. The
most promising theory now relates
to the influence on sex of the time OF
breeding. or that Or. Raymond Pearl
Of the Maine experiment station writes
in a private letter which Hoard's
Dairyman quotes:
my own Investigations on the re-
lation of the time Of service in the
heat period itself, that is whether
early or late, shows that it does have
an effective influence on the control
Of sex. We are collecting extensive
statistics on the matter by means OF
cooperation with breeders all over
the country and the more data we
get, the more clear does 1t become
that in this matter, time of service
related to the heat period is a sig
nificant factor"

ease is prevalent, the virus is, Of
course, scattered everywhere. Very
young animals are most easily and
most seriously affected, but cases
have been reported in calves and pigs
six or eight months old, and ever oc-
~casionally in adult cattle and adult
hogs.
The sores may be cleaned with two
per cent creolin in warm water, and
then treated with Lugol's solution, ap-
piled twice a day to the ulcers. Per.
manganate of potash may also be
used, two ounces to each gallon OF
water; make up fresh each time, as
the mixture cannot be kept from day
to day. Either treatment should be
given to valuable animals about twice
a day for from four to six days.

SERIOUS DISEASE OF CALVES
and May Appear in Animals Only
Few Days Old.

(By DIR. NJ. H. REYNOLDS, Minnesota
Experiment Station.)
Calf diphtheria is due to a specific
infection, and is always a serious mat
ter. The trouble may appear with
calves from three to five days old.
Such calves refuse to drink milk or
suck. They show more or less dis.
charge of saliva from the mouth and
infiamed patches inside the mouth.
These patches gradually develop into
ulcers covered with a dead, granular,
or cheesy mass, which does not peel
easily from the raw surface under
meath. There is considerable rise OF
temperature and an offensive odor
from the mouth. The trouble may
easily extend to ~neighboring parts,
to the lining membrane Of the nose.
and then there appears a yellowish
discharge. In some cases the lining
membrane Of the digestive tract Is
similarly affected and then there Is
tendency to diarrhea. Little pigs show
similar symptoms.
