"Give Him the. Dog"

Mack Oldfield on last Friday
killed a blowing viper on the
farm of Boone 0ldfield, in Nor
gan county, which measured six
feet six and one-half inches in
length and twenty-one and one
half inches in circumference. 1t
could be heard for 78 yards very
distinctly. After being shot
twice through the head with a
rifle, it bit Oldfield's dog, which
died in two hours. After killing
it they cut it open and found
thirty-two eggs as large as pheas-
ant eggs. Hazel Green Herald
of June 8, 1886.
Some snake story, the above,
and was probably given wide
credance 81 years ago. But any
body who know aught of snake
ology", (and most people know
nowadays) knows that the viper
has no fangs at all. They know
that its only means of defense is

its blow" They know that
when it blows it emits a poison.
GUS vapor which, if inhaled in
sufficient quantities, will cause
instant death. They know, fur
thermore, that like the opossum
when it is attacked and wounded
it will feign death, often so sue
cessfully that it will deceive its
adversary. 1t has one weak
point, however. which gives il

am glad that some Of the candidates
for the various Offices have taken a bold
stand against the use Of whisky to procure
their elections. Will they make their
pledges good?
A good way to get on to any violation
OF these pledges would be to have the good
men in each precinct keep an eye upon the
fellows who usually carry the stakes and
whisky and ascertain who they are for, and
that will tell the tale, for it goes without
saying that candidates don't put money
aud whiskey in the hands OF their enemies
Methinks that the devil would blush 10

who would publicly denounce the use oi
money and whisky and then sneakingly
slip it into every precinct in the county.

Egg-Laying Contest.

With wheat so high, poultry
men will be interested to learn
that on the United States De-
partment of Agriculture expert
ment farm excellent egg-laying
results were secured with a
wheatless ration. Thirty Leg
horn puIlet to which this ration
has been fed for 11a years pro-
duced an average of 1878 eggs
per hen for the pullet year. This
compares favorably with egg
yields secured on othor rations
containing wheat and therefore
more expensive. This pen, more
over, during the first 16 weeks
of its second year has an averaged
28.5 eggs per hen, 17.5 eggs per
hen being produced in March.
The same wheatless ration has
been fed since last November to
a pen of Buff Orpington pullets,
which have laid So eggs per hen
in 20 week and hold the highest
egg record of any of the large
feeding pens of pullets at the
farm this year. Two other pens,
however, are less than 1 egg per
hen behind this pen. The ration
used was as follows:
SCRATCH MIXTURE.
2 pounds cracked corn.
| pound oats.
DRY MASH.
3 pounds corn meal.
l pound beef scrap.
The scratch mixture was fec
sparingly, so that the hens ate
about equal parts of this mixture
and of the dry mash. The tota

26 pounds was scratch mixture

That the present dog law, in
tended to protect sheep raisers,
is grossly inadequate and does
not compass the aim intended
has been apparent for years. 1t
is a notorious fact that the de-
struction done by worthless cur
owned by irresponsible individ-
uals, is all out of proportion to
the benefits, under the law, Of
reimbursement from a tax on
dogs. The dogs which do the
damage are not taxed, as a rule,
for those which are almost en-
tirely town dogs and not guilty
of destructive work.
The destroyer is usually some
prowling nondescript, 'part
hound and the balance just dog"
with a nominal owner who has
neither property to protect nor
social standing to uphold and
who promptly disowns the ami
NAL when caught red handed in
his butchery. 1t is small conso-
lation to shoot a worthless brute
we mean the dog of course
after he has wrought enough
damage in a night to more than
compass the entire amount Of
the dog tax revenue allotted to
the whole county. The know.
ledge that neither the owner nol
his dog pays any part of the tax
supposed to reimburse the owner
of the sheep, does not tend to
make him feel kindly toward an
impotent law. Wilmore Enter
