From Weekly Letter. United States De-
partment Of Agriculture.)
The dog In the country Is useful
and pleasant adjunct to the farm If he
is properly controlled and cared for,
but when neglected may readily be-
come a carrier of disease to stock, In
addition to gaining opportunity to kill
sheep and destroy gardens and other
property. Dog ordinances, as a gen.
eral rule, have been intended chiefly to
curb the dogs power of doing harm by
attacking, biting, killing or running
sheep or stock. The part that he
plays as a carrier of diseases to anil
mails only recently has been recog-
nized, according to the biologists Of
the United States department Of agri-
culture, who believe that when this is
better understood rural ordinances and
laws which lessen this danger will
gain the support Of the community.
OF the diseases carried to stock by
dogs, the foot-and-mouth disease is
probably of the greatest interest at
this time. In this case the dog acts
as a mechanical carrier of infection.
The dog which runs across an infect
ed farm easily may carry in the dirt
or his feet the virus of this most con-
tagious of animal diseases to other
farms and thus spread the disease
to the neighboring herds. In infected
localities it is absolutely essential,
therefore, to keep all dogs chained
and never to allow them off the farm
except on leash.
There are, however, many other
maladies in the spread of which the
dog takes an active part. In Bulletin
26O of the department, "The Dog as
a Carrier of Parasites and Disease" 1t
is pointed out that rabies, hydatid,
ringworm, favus, double-pored tape
worm, roundworm and tongue worm
are often conveyed to human beings in
this way. It occasionally happens also
that the dog helps fleas and ticks in
transmitting bubonic plague or the
deadly spotted fever.
Hydatid disease is caused by the
presence in the liver, kidneys, brain,
lungs and other organs of a bladder
worm or larval tapeworm. Bladder
worms are often as large as an orange
and may be larger. A dog which is
allowed to feed on carrion or the raw
viscera of slaughtered animals may eat
all or part of a bladder worm contain
ing numerous tapeworm heads. These
tapeworm heads develop into small
segmerted tapeworms in the intestines
of the dog. The tapeworms in turn
develop eggs which are passed out II
the excrement of the dog. They are
spread broadcast on grass and ir

LOWER EXPENSE TO FARMERS
Good Roads Reduce Greatly Trouble
Of Transporting Crops to Market
Cause of Distress.

Before the war in Europe affected
the rates at sea it cost the American
farmer more to haul bushel of wheat
nine and a half miles to the railroad
station for shipment than it cost the
buyer to ship the same bushel OF
wheat from New York to Liverpool, a
distance of 5000 miles," according to
a bulletin issued by the American
Highway association. THE average
cost of hauling a ton Of farm produce,
or a ton of anything else, over the av"
erage country road is about twenty
three cents a mile; 70 years ago the
cost of the same service was IL cents.
The cost of hauling over the railroads
Is less than one-ninth as much as 1t
was so years ago. The cost of hauling
by railroad has almost reached the
vanishing point; the cost Of hauling
on the country roads has gone up as
the roads have gone down.
by careful calculation, Logan Wal
Ter Page, director of the United States
Office of public roads, has reached the
conclusion that with wise and equita-
BIZ road laws and good business man
agemen, it would be entirely practical
BILE for the people to save themselves
on the two items of hauling and ad-
ministration the enormous sum OF
$3.50, 100000 yearly. The railroads IN
the United States carry about 900, OOO.-
900 tons of freight annually, and of
this vast tonnage at least 2OO,O0O,O0O
tons are hauled over the country roads
to the railroad station or to the canals
for shipment. The immense volume
of mining products aggregating mil.
lions of tons is not included in this
estimate, but only the agricultural,
forest and miscellaneous products
hausd by wagon over the public roads,
nor is the cost of hauling back and
forth between the farms and the mills.
THE main cause of agricultural dis
tress," says the bulletin, "a subject OF
perennial alarm to popular favorites,
is not so much the wages of the work
ers or the infertility of the soil or the
prices of the products, but the enor'
nous drain of getting the stuff to
market. the waste of the roads in the
wear and tear of machinery, the sacri
flee of teams, the inefficiency of serv

the giant of the new Rocky
Mountain national park, and has
given details of the exploit in a letter
to a friend.
Longs peak, which is 1925 feet
high, was considered unclimbable for
many years. Its summit is reached by
passing from Boulder field, which lies
10000 fest up, through an opening in
the rocky wall known as Keyhole out
upon the side of sharp-angled slope
covered with perpetual ice and snow.
which slants from near the summit far
down the mountain side to end in a
nearly precipitous drop Of good deal
more than a thousand feet into Gla-
cier gorge.
This is called the Trough and it is
assembled by steps cut in the Ice and
snow, which are frequently obliterated
by fresh snowfalls and must be re-
newed continually. So far, none of
the hardy scalers of the summit,
which include, by the way, an in
creasing number of women. has lost
control on this dangerous slope,
though stories are whispered of occa-
sional slips caught Just in time.
Mr.. Roper, while ascending the low
er levels, met four young men. two of
them with frozen feet, who had been
held overnight on the summit by a
snow squall obliterating the steps too
late in the day to enable them to cut
new ones on their descent.

Steam PRINTING,

On November 20. 1914, newspaper
for the first time was printed by
steam. Although the application Of
steam power to printing machinery
had been successfully experimental
with some years previously. the hos
tility of the working printers rendered
1t inadvisable for the masters to intro
duce such a startling innovation into
their printing houses. Towards the
end Of 1914, however. the growing cir
culation of the Times made a change
of some kind necessary, and in the
face of fierce opposition the second
John Walters set up steam printing
press. So on the morning Of Novem-
Der 20 the leading article Of the Times
announced to its readers that they
held in. their hands that day copy OF
the first newspaper to be printed BY
