RabieS-InfeCted Animals Are
on Rampage in Northern
California and Along Border
of Nevada

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Feb. 5.-Rabies-
infected coyotes are on a rampage in
northern California and along the nor
Ger in Nevada, attacking citizens, kill
ing stock by wholesale and cutting such
weird antics that the people in the
danger zone are terror-stricken. The
state board of health is waging cam
paign to destroy the poisonous, vicious
animals.
Here are some of the things the crazed
coyotes have done:
They travel in packs, and in some in
stances have attacked towns. driving
residents into trees.
Jumped through windows into houses.
Attacked rapidly moving railroad en-
gines
Chewed iron gates.
Attacked men who were herding sheep.
Attacked farmers doing chores about
the farm.
Attacked hunters and children on
their way to school.
The United States forestry service
Joined with state officials to aid the ter
rcrized residents of infested regions to
extermihate the coyotes. The danger
increased to such an extent that the ex-
posed inhabitants appealed for aid and
welcomed the assistance of state and
| federal officials.
In Modoc and Lassen counties, where
packs of the coyotes are playing havoc
with cattle and sheep and are attacking
humans Edward T. Ross. state sanitary
inspector, is in personal charge of the
| fight He is known as the official coy
ote hunter" Under his direction the
counties were divided into small dis
| tricts. a paid hunter being placed In
| each district with instructions to hunt
out and kill every coyote he sees. Citi-
zens wear side arms for protection.
$4,000 A MONTH.
California is spending $4,000 a month
in the determination campaign and Of
| fcials declare the sum is inadequate to
| finish the job. The usual bounty OF
! $3.50 has been increased by citizens IN
! many of the infested districts
In many of the small mountain towns
| the entire community has been driven to
| shelter by packs of the animals coming
! out of the wilderness in an organized at
! tack on anything in sight. Schools
| have also been closed and the children
| kept safe indoors at home to avoid the
! danger of coyote attack.
Coyotes appeared in the streets OF

came He threw the pail away and hid

piece of ground out in short time
You can put the sets out any time now,
No doubt you are planting water oaks
or live oaks as shade trees, and in
that event you will find that red tor
or blue grass can be grown to some adj
vantage under them after they get
larger, but it would be necessary to
lime the soil very freely where you
expect to try blue grass, and this grass
will only succeed under shade trees
and on lands which are well watereo
at all times.
If you desire to keep your lawn green
in winter, you can SOW Italian rye grass
and blue grass in the fall, say the LIST
to 18th of September. These grasses
If they do at all well will give
your lawn a very attractive appearance
until about the first of April. If you
keep the lawn clipped, of course the
Italian rye grass will not reseed itself.
If allowed to grow up and head out,
1t will probably re-establish itself from
year to year. Bur clover could also be
used to some advantage on your lawn
and should be sown In August. Use
about 10 to Is pounds per acre. OF
the above named grasses we suggest
that you plant in September about
pounds of Italian rye grass and
pounds of Kentucky blue grass.
APPLYING GROUND LIME TO PEA
NUTS.
W. L. c., Quitman, Ga, writes: Please

peanuts cotton, corn and oats. / wish
some information in regard to raw ground
phosphate.
The best results from the use or lime
have been obtained with legumes. The
peanut belongs to this class. We would
advise an application of 1000 pounds of
caustic lime or 1000 pounds of ground
rock previous to planting this crop
Break the soil up and scatter the lime
over the surface and harrow in. Do this
a few days before you plant the nuts
Do not mix any fertilizer with the lime
The caustic or biting lime is much more
active than the crushed or raw rock
and is therefore calculated to destroy
some Of the vegetable matter in the soil
On this account where lands are at all
we'll supplied with humus, We advise
the use of the raw rock, which Is more
pleasant to handle, though not so &C
tive. as the caustic lime. We think you
can probably secure a ton of the raw
rock at the same cost as 1000 pounds OF
the caustic lime. Lime need only be
applied to the land once in three years
and it may exert some beneficial in

Wood ashes are of some value as

a larger proportion may be used. The

trees is lower than that obtained from
hard wood trees.
The best fertilizer you can use this

Quite a variety of rations may be made
up from the foodstuffs you have on
hand which would be suitable for cat
tie weighing 1000 pounds For instance,
pounds of cotton seed meal, pounds
Of corn and cob meal, with pounds of
wheat straw, S pounds of corn fodder
and 40 pounds of silage should make
very good ration for dairy cows. The
wheat straw and corn fodder should be
fed in racks where the cattle may have
access to them for the greater part of
the day. 1t is often a good plan to place
these racks out in the yard. provided
they are covered over the top so as to
prevent the fodder from becoming wet
and moldy The racks should be cleaned
out every few days to keep them in good
condition. The concentrates should be
mixed together and fed in equal parts
night and morning. Scatter over the en-
silage and mix through IT with fork.
Another very good ration which you
could use to advantage in your situation
Is pounds of cotton seed meal, 8
pounds of wheat bran and the same
amount Of fodder and ensilage as indi-
Gated above. Presumably you desire to
maintain dairy calves and carry them
possible and in a good, thrifty growing
condition. Situated as you are we would
feed about 20 pounds of ensilage and
give them a liberal ration of straw and
corn fodder to pick over during the day.
We would scatter about pounds Of cot
ton seed meal over the silage and mix
both thoroughly together. The meal
should of course be fed at the rate OF
] pound night and morning.
We have found this an excellent ra-
ton for young dairy stock and one
which keeps them in good condition and
causes them to grow satisfactorily dur
