nHuman Nature" in DOGS.

A real, full-blooded English bulldog
has been in our family for seven years,
writes a newspaper contributor, and
as time goes on we find him more and
more human.
One of his traits has amused us for
years. Sunny, as the dog has been
appropriately named, is very particu-
lar about his food. Real, old-fashioned
dog biscuit is beneath his digaity.
When a bowl of biscuit is put down
for his supper he shifts with disgust
and turns away.
But resting conveniently close al
hand is little papier-mache model of
bulldog that rejoices in the name OF
Fido. All that We have to do in order
to bring Sunny back to his bowl is TO
call "Here, Fido, Fidow and to, put
Fido in front of the dinner. So long
as he feels that some other dog may
possibly get the food, Sunny will eat
every crumb, and with grunt of salts
faction nose Fido out of the way. Is
not that precisely the nature of some
humans?

SUPERIOR FOR LAYING HENS
Corn and Meat Scraps Will Produce
Satisfactory Egg Yield-Test
at Ohio Station.

When wheat and other feeds are rel
atively higher in price, corn and meat
scrap win produce satisfactory egg
yield at a lower cost per unit of pro-
ductiOn.
Hens fed on corn and meat scraps
for LOTT days at the Ohio experiment
station laid an average of 351 eggs a
hen. Those fed a ration Of corn. wheat,
oats, bran and meat scrap produced
$40 eggs. The feed cost per dozen
eggs was 10 per cent higher for the
lot getting the variety of feeds thal
for the corn and meat scrap lot.
Corn, wheat, oats. bran, oilmeal, mid
dllngs and meat scrap constituted the
ration of one lot that laid 1877 eggs
per hen one year. Hens fed only corn
and meat scrap laid 1913 eggs per hen.
The cost of feed per dozen eggs was
nearly per cent greater in the case
of the hens fed the variety ration.

OF AN INCH OF WATER
One Hundred and Ten Tons Fall on
Every Acre Covered by Shower
of That Proportion.

Do you know what an Inch of
rain" means to farmers? When the
weather bureau reports that an inch
of rain has fallen, it means that the
amount of water that descended from
the sky in that particular shower
would have covered the surrounding
territory to a depth of one inch, if
none of it had run off or soaked into
the ground.
1t means that on one acre of ground
water to fill more than 900 barrels
of 45 gallons each has fallen. That
quantity of water weighs more than
40 tons. If the rainstOrm covered
1000 acres, which would be a very
small shower indeed, $4,000 tons of
water would fall from the clouds.
Rainstorms frequently cover whole
counties, and often two or three or
five inches of water fall in one
storm. In that case the weight of
water that falls to the earth is sim
ply enormous. A single widespread
and heavy storm might result. it has
been estimated, in 100000, 100000 tons
of rain.

TO PROTECT MUSKRAT
Most Valuable Fur Animal in the
United States.
Whether II Shall Be Protected or De-
st~syed Depends on Its Behavior
Sometimes K Does consid-
cradle Damage.
prepared by the United States Depart

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Whether the muskrat, the most valu-
able fur animal in the United States,
shall be protected or destroyed de-
cumstances this animal becomes detri-
mental and is responsible for consider
able damage to growing crops, irriga-
ton bitches, milldams, etc. Where the
animal is not troublesome, biologists
of the q. S. department of agriculture
suggest that it be protected and trap
ped for fur. Even where the animal
has become somewhat of a pest, its
numbers often may be kept down by
trapping, while the sale of pelts makes
such activities profitable. Often crops
may be protected by the erection Of
wire-mesh fences between them and
the marsh or pond where the animals
live. Such fences should reach at least
six inches beneath the surface of the
ground to prevent the muskrat bur-
rowing under.
Where the animals prove trouble,
ny causing DANo's1 III
nlents, dams, and in the sides of irri-
cation bitches, probably the most prac.
teal remedy is to employ trapper
and hunter to patrol the property both
night and day. In narrow waterways
barrel traps have proved efficient in
catching large numbers of these ami
mails.
BY erecting more permanent works,
owners of entertainments, dams, etc,
may guard against injuries to their
property by muskrats. A more general
use of concrete, for example, has
greatly minimiZed such troubles. The
more liberal use of gravel or coarse
sand for the surface of entertainments
has been found effective, since the ami
mails will not burrow in soil that fills
the hole as tast as they open it.
Destruction Of muskrats, where this
is desirable, as well as their prOtec-
ton, which is in most cases advisable,
is discussed in a recent Farmers Bull
letin, No. 500, of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. Copies of the
bulletin may be had free as long as the

ed States department of agriculture,

CLEANLINESS is GREAT HELP
Sanitary Surroundings as Essential
for Animals as Proper Nourish-
ment for Them.

Proper nourishment and clean sur
roundings are h lpful in combating
animal diseases. Feeding balanced RAJ
tons will take care of the nourisfrment
factor. The University of Missouri
college of agriculture regards clean
and sanitary surroundings as essential
as proper nourishment. Drainage of
quarters, ventilation. keeping sheds
and stalls free from manure dust and
other rubbish, liberal use of lime and
other disinfectants and eternal war on
parasites will reduce the veterinary
bill to the minimum.
