DR.. G. E. Leavitt,
Yerirgton, Nevada.

Clh-S toils %NNfooo'
Dear Dr. Leavitt:
In reply to your inquiry for the bes
method of controlling rabies car
riers | would advise that all dogs b.
placed in inclosed paddocks, not only
to protect human lives and stock bu
as a protection to the dog itself iron
rabies carriers. Merely tying a dog
up would not protect it from attack
by rabid animal Records from the
State Laboratories show that the
greater portion of the infection in HUI
mans has been caused by dogs.
At the first outbreak of rabies
Humboldt County passed a dog muz-
cling ordinance. All dogs found with
out muzzles were shot. This soo1
eliminated the stray and ownerless
dogs. Elko County went further,
owners of dogs were required to con
fine them upon the premises and !;
bounty of Sl00 each was paid for TIL
scalps of all dogs found running a
large.
With the cooperation OF the PEG
pie and suitable county ordinances
the dog situation can be easily. con
troled. But since rabies is prevail
ent among wild animals and coyote
are the principle carries of the dis
ease every effort must be made t.
exterminate them or numerous losse:
among livestock can be expected
If the people of Lyon County will
take warning from the experience o
the northern counties and act prompt
ly in controlling the rabies carrier;
they will be able to save themselves
the loss of many thousands of dol
lars in livestock Individual stock
men in Elko and Humboldt Coun
ties have reported losses of from ono
to four hundred head OF livestocl
which represents a loss of from five
to twenty thousand dollars each.
We are prepared to hire and keel
in the field six or eight men in LyoI
County Trusting that you will no
hesitate to call upon us if we can b.
OF any further assistance to you,
remain,
Very truly yours,

Dor bill was being considered by the
house committee, the southerners
came forward with the scheme IN
new cloak. They wanted an appro-
nriation of S20,000,000 for nitrate
plant" The committee, due to MI
Frear's opposition, turned them down
Then they turned to the house mill
+,rv affairs committee and demanded
the insertion of the Appropriation IN
the army bill as a part OF the pre-
naredness program because nitrate
is used in the manufacture OF ammuni-
ton.
The hackers of the scheme propos-
ed that the government build the po-
wer plant and lease it to some private
company for operation.
Representative Mckenzie OF IL
Iinois led the fight which defeated
the scheme in the house.
Senator Underwood of Alabama
Senator Smith OF South Caroline
and other southern democratic lead
ers got behind the project in the SEN
ate. however, in a modified form.
The house refused to accept the sen
ate amendment and ordered its con.
ferences to reject it.
Then President Wilson stepped II
and demanded its approval, according
to democratic congressman who
changed their votes on that score and
helped put the scheme through.
Congress appropriated the $4,000,
600 for the plant without any investi
ration whatsoever into the methods
Of manufacturing nitrates, putting II

appropriations and authorizations il
excess of S92.OO0O00.
1t was fought vigorously in the
house by Representative J. A. Frear
of Wisconsin, who exposed the in
defensible items in mastery manner
But the democrats had exactly two
thirds of the house under their con
troll and rode over the republican con
gresham rough shod.
The measure then went in the senate
where Senator Theodore Burton woi
the battle and compelled reduction
to S20,000G00. This blanket appro.
priation was apportioned by the arm,
engineers largely in favor OF tho
south.
The proximity of the congressional
election of 1914 had much TO do with
the democratic surrender, for the
pork barrel advocates brigade rallied
in the following short session OF the
congress and introduced a measure
carrying more than S51.J00,000. Mr.
Frear, Mr. Burton and Senator w. S
Kenyon of Iowa opened fire on II
the minute it was introduced. Once
again they compelled reduction, this
time to S1,0C0'0C:..
When the presen: CONFESS open
ed, the democrats introduced a river
pork hill in the lImst. carrying
approximately $40,00O 900. They
passed it after stiff battle in which
the opposition was led by Frear
Mann and Madden. They added 49,
OOO'0O0 in the senate, After an even
greater battle there. in which Senator
Kenyon assumed the leadership sur
rendered by Mr.. Burton when he re-
tired from congress, the democrats
finally put the measure over. Presi
dent Wilson signed it.
One of the vicious items elmnat-
ed from the 1914 and 1915 river and
harbor bills was an appropriation OF
SlS,oO0,OO0 for waterpower plant al
the mussel shoals OF the Tennessee
river, near Florence, Alabama.
Representative Frear and Senator
Burton proved clearly that this item,
was inserted for the benefit of the
Alabama Traction, Light & Power
Company 1t was knocked out in the
house on record vote after a strenu
Gus battle an only after. Mr.. Frear
proved it was a power trust grab.

HOGS AND ALFALFA AT
TRUCKEE-CARSON FARM

The returns from alfalfa pastured
bv hogs on the Truckee-Carson Re
clamation Experiment Farm in 1915
were much larger than could be ex-
pected from the same alfalfa made
into hay, according to the report OF
the superintendent. He adds that
while it may not be practicable to
utilize a very large proportion of tn,
alfalfa crop of the project as hog
pasture, it is possible to use alfalfa
pasture for all the hogs that are pro-
duced and in so doing to secure much
cheaper gains than acn be expected
from keeping the hogs in pens.
The experiment to that end was
begun in May, 1915. One quarter
of an acre of alfalfa was used, thi;
plat was subdivided and the pigs were
changed from one pasture to the
other each week. Ten pigs were used
in the experiment, five OF them being
grade Durocs and five grade Berk-
shires. They were of fair quality
but three of the lot did not do well
While on the pasture the pigs were
fed a daily a supplementary ration
of rolled barley at the rate OF Z
pounds of grain for each 100 pounds
of live weight They also had &C
cess to a mixture of condiments, in
Guiding Stacked coal and salt
The pasturng period extended from
Nav 10 to September H. During the
early part of the season the pasture
produced more feed than the pigs
could consume, but later it was kept
so short that after September l the
growth of the pigs was retarded ma
terially. The pigs were each weigh
ed every week throughout the sea-
son. In the summary the value as
signed to the rolled barley is $50 per
ton. and the value of the increase in
live weight of the pigs is assumed to
be 7 cents a pound. The results are
computed on the basis of the acre
unit, though only quarter OF an acre
was actually used.
