Disposing Of Carcasses.

The question Of disposal Of the car
casses Of dead animals is one which
is Of interest to all agricultural COM
munities. An inquiry comes to the
state legal department as to charges
and the liability Of the same under
such conditions. Apparently the coun.
ty officials ordered the owners Of dead
animals to bury the same, and then
went no further than the giving Of the
orders, but they continued their &C.
ton as to a bill for such procedure,
and an attempt was made to 10Y
the same from the owner Of the ami
NAL. 1t is held that there can be no
such recovery. unless the owner re-
fuses to bury the carcass. and the
county employs to carry out
this part Of the law. In such case
where burial has been at county ex-
pense there IS provision for recovery,
but not until that stage has beer
reached.

in the fresh water discharged by the
River Neva. To the west is the Gulf

Kotlin was first fortified in 17O3 by

seven years later that the great mon

two canals stands the Italian palace

in all Russia, a city OF merchant
princes, of bursting warehouses and
miles Of crowded docking, of vigorous
Teutonic architecture and cosmopoli-
tan organization, with q hurrying,
tense business life that finds its
terpart in New York and Hamburg,
lies lear the head Of the Gulf Of Riga.
q few miles northeast of Mitau. Riga
Is a great commercial city. 1t stands
third among Russia's seaports, and
second among all the ports upon the
Baltic sea, where commercial cities
have been growing and building for
centuries. The city is 1863 miles south
west of Petrograd, and is filed with
the spirit of modern business. 1t is a
main gateway into vast Russian him
terlands. and is, probably, the most up
to-date city to be found from Vlad,-
vOstok to Libau.
Riga is second only to P%etrograd in
population and industry. German
merchants Of the thirteenth century
laid the foundations of its commercial
renown. 1t was founded in 1901, and
many German %colonists soon found
their way to the new city, attracted
thither by the many commercial privi-
leges granted by it's founder. Riga be-
came a powerful, fiourishing member
Of the Hanseatic league, the great
merchant trust of the Middle Ages.
With Hamburg, Bremen, Lubbock,
Stralsuna and scores of its fellow
banded cities. Riga grew In wealth
and trade connections; boats from all
parts Of the world ran in and out of
It's river harbor, and it enjoyed the
proud development Of q German free
CITY,"
Near the middle of the sixteenth
century, Riga passed into the power
Of the king of Poland. The headlong
Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden brought
up in his course Of conquest with a
shock before its walls in 1901, and, II
~ after a long hard siege, was he
able to take the city. Riga passed to
the control of the Russians in ITO.

while new Riga might be Bremen. It
has none of the happy-go-lucky Sla-
vonic air about 1t, and SO, for the tour
ist, it is disappointing. Before the
val German was the language of its
business and German was the idiOm
Of it's streets and homes. Official Riga
was Russian, and. as Riga is the seat
Of the governor general Of the Baltic
provinces. this official element was Of
much significance.
For the most part, Riga is a very
modern city. Its older buildings have
been torn down to make way for struc-
lures more up-to-date, more suited to
the prosperity Of q business city. It
is situated on the River Duena, ten
miles above the mouth Of the Gulf Of
Riga, and 1t Is bound to the Baltic by
canals. It has princes of finance and
trade, and they have lined many Of It's
avenues with modern villas and pal
aces. AS an example of the city's
growth, it may be mentioned that Riga
and apartment buildings during q re-
cent year and that most OF these build
ings were equipped with elevators,
open plumbing, cleaning, cen
trail ref%rigerating and steam heating
plants.
A strong and varied industry has
grown up in the port city. Machinery,
railway cars, lumber. leather, candles,
tiles, glass, tobacco and other products
are turned out in it's numerous fac
tories. The annual value of the arti-
! cles manufactured in Riga exceeds
500, OO0, COO.
The average value of Riga's exports
is well over S35, 100000 It's imports
total about $30,OOO,OU each year. The
exports include cereals, flax, flaxseed,
eggs, lumber and butter. Its chief i'm
ports are machinery, cotton, coal and
groceries. It has Il thrifty, wel!-to-d0
