conspicuous absence of "cellarage."

RUSSIAN THISTLES
RELISHED BY cows
Animals GreediIy Devour Young
Plants Along With Other
Weeds and Grasses.

(By II. S. EAKINS Colorado Agricui-
tural College. Fort Collins, Colo)
In certain parts of the West when
dairy cows are placed on grass range
in the spring, they greedily devour
the young, tender, Russian thistle
plants along with other weeds and
grasses, without any apparent injury
resulting.
However it has been noticed that
after thistle barbs have formed and
while the plant is yet green, that
some cattle persist in ingesting, under
conditions of short range quantities
of these thistles; sometimes with Sc
rious results which may end fatally.
The barbs penetrate into the mucous
membranes, especially of the first
stomach setting up severe hemor-
rhagic inflammation. The animal
goes off feed the flow of milk de-
creases, boating generally occurs and
fatal results may be expected.

New York.-This great metropolis
has been rapidly prepared by the po-
lice, National Guard and United

to meet an emergency. Some of the
measures taken would be of equal
value in case of great fire, flood or
riot, but just at present they are de-

more than three years, and in the case
Of native whites and negroes, more

The tables, which were compiled in
the division of vital statistics, are the
first of their kind to be prepared by
the government. They show death
rates and expectation Of life at all
ages for the population of the six New

sey, Indiana, Michigan and the District
Of Columbia (the original death regis.
tration states) on the basis of the
population in 1910 and the mortality
for the three years 1909, 1910 and 1911.
They are similar to the life tables"
prepared by the life insurance com
panies, but differ from them in that
they relate to the entire population of
the area covered. whereas the life In
surance tables relate only to risks Sc

white females, $50 years; for native
