BIG WHEAT YIELD
FROM eoo-AcRE PLAT

Wheat enough to furnish bread for
100000 soldiers for one year was
harvested just outside the city of
Sacramento, Cal, few days ago,
reclamation district on which, less
than three years ago, the youth of
Sacramento enjoyed the sport of
spearing and catching fish. The land
from which this crop was taken was
formerlf flooded five months of the
year, but was reclaimed by the erect
ton of impregnable levees. The work
cost about $3000,000 and added So
900 acres of rich sediment to Califor-
MAS productive area. This years
yield of grain is estimated at nearly
$4,0z0, 800
The crop on the plot near Sacra-
mento was harvested by seven COM
! tined machines, operated by aux
wagons carrying drink and fuel to
the steel monsters. Fifty tank wag-
ons took away the grain as it pour
ed from the great bins that each har-
vester carried on its shoulders.
Each harvester cut a swath of 80
feet. AS the machines rolled their
way through the golden grain they
moved a pathway 245 feet wide. The
work started at sun-up and before
night the grain from 700 acres had
| been gathered and was on its way in
barges down the Sacramento river
to be ground.

TUBERCULOSIS IN PETS.

(FrCm Southern Fruit Grower.)
Cats, dogs and parrots are subject
to this disease. Cats and dogs suf-
fering from either the human of bo-
vine type and parrots from both of
these and also from the type peculiar
TO all birds. For three kinds CT pets
the human type of bacillus is by far
the most frequent.
french authority has recently stat
ed that dogs and cats frequonting the
restaurants in Paris are tuberculous.
Infected dogs and cats are especial
ly dangerous in the household owing
TO their intimate association with
children, as well as from the fact that
they are usually fed from plates, sau-
GERS, etc, used by the family. Par
rots nave most likely contracted the
disease from the haiti of feeding
them tit-bits from the mouth, and are
able to convey il in the same way,
and in sncezing and coughing they
spread their discharge all over the
room
Satisfactory diagnosis cannot be
made from clinical symptoms alone,
and many pets that seem perfectly
well may be source of danger. 1t
is very necessary prccauticn to take
yntarinarV advice when cat dog or
parrot is constantly ailirg or has a
chronic discharge Of wisdom to have
them periodically tested whether
ailing or not.-Dr. A. w, Whit 3house.
