RABIES AT CARSON

The first case of rabies in this city
created a great deal of excusable ex-
element Saturday. A dog belonging
to Henry Bath, the we'll known ranch
err who now owns the Treadway ranch
bit four other dogs besides killing a
pet cat of Baths. Three valuable
shepherd dogs belonging to Ira Lee
Winters and the fine hunting dog
owned by Richard Barber were the
victims of the mad animal and were
shot by the authority of the sheriff.
One of Winters horses was also bit
ten but the wound is but a slight
one and the animal is kept in strict
seclusion until the outcome of the bite
develops.

known that fowls of the heavier breeds
such as the Plymouth Rocks, cease to
produce profitable number of eggs at
the end of their second laying year and
chat this holds true of the lighter
breeds, such as the Leghorns. at the
end of their third laying year. Con.

poultry meat would he placed on the

used at meat. This way of disposina
Of Improbable fowls would allow the
farmer to feed his grain to younger
and more productive fowls.
Caponizing the cockerels that are moi
intended for breeding purposes will not

"A more desirable poultry meat OH the
market Another practice that should
he adopted more widely is that of fat
tening all chickens that are to be mar
keted before they leave the farm. This
can be done easily by continuing the
birds for week or ten days and feed,
ing them good fattening ration. They
will come to market then in better con.
dition, and the farmer will receive a
profit for their added weight.

Charcoal For Poultry,

Charcoal is not food and may not
be a panacea for all poultry ills. but
it Is a valuable aid to digestion and a
corrective of digestive troubles says a
correspondent Of the Farm and Fire
side. 1t is good for poultry Of any
age. 1t may be mixed with the mash.
wet or dry, or fed in hoppers so that
the birds may help themselves. 1t
is especially valuable in fattenlng or
forced feeding. Experiments with fat
tening fowls and turkeys have shown
that those having charcoal made much
greater gains than those not receiving
It. Finely granulated is the most con-
venient and desirable form for feeding
it. Although supply houses usually
charge a pretty good price for 1t in
small quantities, it is comparatively
inexpensive when bought by the bag
or barrel. Bones or corn is sometimes
charred for poultry, but this is mex
pedient except on small scale.

WEED OUT THE DRONES.

Proper Handling OF Poultry Wouio
Largely Increase Food Supply.
Prepared by United States department OF
agriculture
Since poultry reach maturity quickly
and since the quality and productive
ness Of breeding stock, therefore, may
be improved by selection in a relatively
short period, the raising Of poultry fur
nishes one of the best opportunities for
increasing the meat food supply of the
country in an emergency like that now
existing. This, coupled with the ad-
vantages to be gained by the exercise
of greater care in poultry raising, was
the thought in the minds Of the federal
and state agricultural specialists who
met recently in st. Louis, when they
stated that the poultry products Of the
United States could be doubled in
year. This means that if everybody In
Il position to help did his part $780,
100000 worth Of food would be added
to the country's supply this year.
This includes both meat for the ia
BILE and eggs. Very few farmers prac-
tice systematic plan of disposing of

NEVADA MISSION
JOINS CALIFORNIA

The Methodist conference opened
with sermon by the Rev. F. f. Chal-
FAINT of Cedarville, Cal. The most i'm
portant question of the session was
that of uniting the Nevada mission
with the California confer ence for
administrative purposes. After an in
teresting debate the union was ap-
proved with only one dissenting vote.
This union with the California con-
ference does not destroy the identity
of the Nevada mission. An annual
meeting will be held as usual, but
under the name of the Nevada district
conference, at which the bishop is
expected to be present and preside.
The bishop will not spend any less
time in the bounds of the mission he
cause of the change. The superinten-
dent of the district will continue to
live at Reno-Silver State.

that as the Germans had violated their

One hundred and eighty Bclgians in

HOW CAN | SAVE?

We all want to save money-to lay
aside something for a "rainy day"
With the present high cost of living,
the above question Is ever dominant.
Methods of saving are without num-
her, but one fact remains-it must be
systematic.
The wisest saving is always this side
of luxuries.
The judicious saving of money is an
art--a fine art-and an art always
brings pleasure and profit.
Frugality and thrift are the finest
developers of character that we can
call to our aid and then exercise.
And so, let us save money. II is our
duty to provide against the rainy day"
that may come to all of us.
