Why Healthy Dogs Nose is Col

! why u Healtny Dogs Nose Is Cold.
When your faithful old dog pokes
his nose into your hand, even your
affection cannot prevent a little shiv-
er, because the nose is usually so
cold. Why is it? When the body of
dog is so warm, why should this
one spot be different from all the rest
of him?
According to the old fable, when
Noah tried to get all the animals
into the Ark some of them were
troublesome and he had to get dog
to hep him drive them il. Because
Of this, the dog was the last to enter
the Ark. There was no room left, so
he had to stand in the doorway with
his nose outside in the wet and it
has never been warm since.
Science gives quite another ex-
PLANTATION of the matter. The cold
ness of dogs nose is, it says, due to
the fact that it must be kept moist
all the time in order to sharpen his
sense of smell. And, Of corrse, as
the moisture is evaporating all the
time it keeps his nose cold.
| A dog depends great deal, on
his power of smelling especially in
the wild state, and it is because oil
his keeness of scent that he is valua-
BILE to man for hunting purposes. In
addition to the olfactory or smelling
nerves inside a dogs nostrils, the
whole black Membrane around the
nose is very sensitive. but this sensi-
tiveness can{only be retained by mois-
ture. Thus 1T is that when a dogs
nose is dry<and warm he is i'll and
needs doctoring.

I0WA's SPECIALITY

Ten or twelve years ago q certain
railroad was pushing the sale of land
In eastern Colorado, an enterprise en-
tirely right and worthy, and one which
resulted in delivering large acreage
OF more or less unproductive land to
cultivation and increased usefulness.
The agents claimed wonderful posi-
bilities In the way of corn growing
for the boundless reaches of sandy
plain lying east OF the Rockies, claims
which seem not to have materialized
up to the present time.
Last year, according to the govern
ment figures, Colorado produced Z, 1884,
200 bushels OF corn. A very respecta-
Die crib full, worth, at present prices,
not less than $10,O00,00O. But mag
nificent as 1t may appeal to the native
son OF the Centennial State 1t wouldn't
impress an Iowa corn grower very
extensively when he remembers that
single counties in his own state some
times husk and crib as much or more
than was harvested 10 the entire state
OF Colorado.
Plymouth's county's contribution to
the Iowa corn crib last year was q
488,0eO bushels; Woodbury. county
was right there or thereabouts with
f,280,OOO bushels. Pottawattamie
cribbed 6,633,000 bushels; Crawford
county picked 100000 bushels, Kos
suth 6,253,000 bushels, ETC., etc. Those
five counties produced S4,554 900 bush
els of corn last year, more than the
combined crops OF Colorado, Califor-
ada, Utah, Wyoming, New Mexico
Arizona, Montana and North Dakota
with half dozen of the New England
states thrown in for good measure
And Iowa has 81 more counties as
good as the five mentioned. That Is
the reason the state leads the world

HATS OFF TO the IOWA hen

The perfection Of incubators and
brooders has emancipated the hen
from maternal duties and response
bilities to a large extent, giving her
more time for the business Of egg pro-

opportunity is evidenced by the In
creased output from year to year.

something like $4,000, 900 dozen, eggs

HAMILTON. \. D., Jan. 25.-Tcn dog trains competing in the 522 mile derby from Winnipeg to St. Paul. crossed into the United States late to- day. Three leaders camped here while IS miles back over the snowy trail their seven competitors were quartered at Pembina, x. D.
 Gunnar Tomasson from Hecla, (Big lsland), Manitoba, and his team of five huskies broke the trail into this town at S:10 D. m. and was followed shortly by Mike Kelly. also of Hecla, driving five huskies. and Hyurtur Hanson of Selkirk. Manitoba, and his quintette of cross-bred Russian wolf hound and huskies.
 The advantage held by the three leaders was discounted somewhat by the fact that their competitors paused for the nights rest almost two hours earlier and this additional rest before the break of day was expected to count somewhat in their favor.
 But one incident interfered with the going today. Fred Hartman. an American now living al Le Pas Man. was the last man to pull mp at Penn bina tonight delayed by q fight among his own dogs in which one animal was killed. He cut his team down to fuur dogs and continued in the race.

The new N. R.

However, he need have no fears of being kicked from the squatting to the prone position (tOes up) f he but takes the proper hold on his gun.
 The prescribed course is as follows
 Any rifle may be used.
 Any kind of sight, peep, open or telcscopic, may be used.
 Use of sling is authorized
 Coaching is permitted.
 Target B" is used.
 Range, 500 yards.
 Slow fire five shots prone, five kneeling, five squatting, five sitting, a total of tWent,' shots at slow fire.
 Then four strings of changing posi- tion fire of five shots each, conducted as follows: The shooter is in the prone position when target first ap- pears, He fires one shot CHly and changes to l-neeling position and again fires one shot when target appears, after which he changes to the squat tine position to be ready for the third appearance of target. and after firing once from sQuatting position he again assumes the kneeling position, iron, which attitude he fires his fourth shot; then after firing that shot he once mere assumes the prone posi- tion for h1s fifth and last shot of the string.
 The exposure of the target is five seconds and it is down for the same length of time; so il means a change of position and slot every ten seconds.
