POPULAR BELIEF IN DOG
DAYS is UNDERMINED
Miss Casandia Ritter, Assistant
State Bactcriologist, Torpe-
does Old Myth.

Popu'a beliefs are blown up ever,
day. The old tradition that dog days'
come every year is about to join man,
other such fairy tales. Miss Casandis
Ritter, A. b., '2l. assistant bactcriolo
glst in the state public health labora,orie:
'here, says there are no specific months
when there are more mad dogs. Ii just
seems so. Probably. she says. we hear
more Of mad dogs in the summer, be.
cause they run free.
"A dog with the rabies is merely a
sick dog, Miss Ritter continued. ''He
will not bite person unless his path is
crossed. Persons should moi kill a dog
because he acts qucerly. The dog should
be penned up, and, if il has rabies, il,
will die in few days
"If dogs are killed. they should moi be
shot through The brain. Ii is the brain
which has to be examined for traces of
rabies. The brain bf the supposedly mad
dog is stained with special chemical;
1t there are symptoms of rabies pres.
ent. microscopic Ncgri bodies can be
seen under the microscope. This is the
method Of determining the presence of
rabies"
Miss Ritter said the individual is in
fectcd by the saliva of the dog through
break in the skin. Cauicrization of
the wound within an hour with iodine or
iuming nitric acid will prevent any i'll
elects. If the dog is found to have rab-
5ies, Pasteurs treatment is administered
to the individual. This treatment is ef.
iectivc within week or ten days afteT
theindividual has been bitten. II con-
sists of series of injections of rabies
taken from rabbit. The fresh serum
is secured from St. Louis daily until
about eight injection have been made.
Continuing, Miss Ritter said. IF a |
person is not treated. the symptoms of |
rabies may not present themselves for |
month or so. Then the victim dies within
three or four days. A person can be
cured in two weeks, if treated in time"
The state laboratories have received
dogs heads with rabies all winter from
ill over the state. Other animals also
Ire susceptible TO rabies. Coyotes and
;ows are especially susceptible to the
disease. Causes of rabies are not def.
litely known, according to Miss Ritter.

SCIENTIFIC METHODS ARE
EMPLOYED BY FARMERS
Government Crop Reports Serve
as Check to Spectators and
Price Fluctuation.

Farming is going through a period o
transition. The haphazard methods o
fifty years ago, if used today, woul,
prove decidedly Improbable to the farm
er. He has begun to see the value O
scientific methods in his business and il
using cooperative methods on a busi
| ness basis.
The farmer said E. A. Logan, az
ricultural staiistician for Missouri. "a.
well as large business firms, has come to
realize the dcpendability and value Of
crop reports and statistics"
Mr.. Logan said that the farmer could
not safely conduct his business without
definite information. and that the crop
reports supply this needed information
at minimum cost TO the people of the
United States of about ! cent for every
three persons.
The office of the statistician is daily
besieged with letters OF by representa-.
tives OF great corporations who appear
in person for the express purpose of Sc
curing information and statistics on crop
conditions.
The International Harvester Co.. for
years has made use of government crop
reports in placing their representatives
and products in favorable territory. The
Standard Oil Co.. Uses data compiled
BY the statistician regarding the number
OF trucks. cars and tractors owned by
people of Boone County and the state.
One of the greatest services of the crop
report. according to Mr.. Logan. lies in
the fact that il serves as check rather
than an aid to gambling.
The gamblers on farm products" said
MIR. Logan. have high-salaried men at
work among the farmers compiling data
Df nature that will aid in the business
Of speculation. and If il we're not for
our figures, the speculaiors could manip-
llate thing TO suit their own ends and
cause an even greater fluctuaiion in the
prices of everything raised on the farm"

COMMUNITY FAIRS.

Country Fair Day! What joy it bring
TO the hearts of school boys and girls
the busy housewife and the industriou
farmer. One and all turn out with tn,
simc carcfrceness that characterizes cir
Gus day. And yet il is for something NOR,
than mere pleasure.
Here the farmer finds impetus and am
billion in seeing his ears Of corn, his fine
hogs and cattle displayed. The house.
vile glows with pride and hope as her
jars of fruit and vegetables CLEAN on
the stands. The little girl proudly places
her crochet on exhibit, while the grinning
boy preiends that his chickens are no,
the best there.
Huntsdale is going to revive this old
custom which has been out of fashion
since the war. The return Of the ceIebra.
tion will be a pleasure to many. State
and county fairs have their benefits. but
they are enjoyed by only few, in pro.
portion 10 the field they cover. More can
attend community fairs; the local com.
petition is keencr. All this makes for a
wider awake community.
Diner communities can follow Hunts
da!cs plan proftably.

PORCHES ARE POPULAR HERE
Sun and Scenery are Desirable Ele.
ments Considered.

1
1t Is close to fact to say that eacl
new house has been preceded by more OIL
less serious family contention over The
matter of porches. Self-appoinied com
miitces and investigators yield their pref
erences in other things, but as regards
the porch they stand fast. The porch
and the automobile, show in their grow.
ing importance, an increasing love of
wholesome air.
For those who have ample building
funds, double-deck porch is the usual
thing. On the first floor is the sun room,
and above that is the sleeping porch.
For others who must economize, the porch
may be built into a corner of the house
and exposed on only two sides. OF
course. other things being equal. the
south is the favored exposure. Pleasant
scenery is almost a part of the good
porch, so the south is not always the best
side of the house for it.
The popularity of the porch is extend
ing into the winter. and the new ones or
the rebuilt onesrussally have some means.
of being enclosed in glass. The disap-
pearing window and the swinging-sash
are most popular, for with them the open
porch can be converted into another
room for the hsuse. Convertible beds are
coming into common use on the porch.
Presto! The soft divan spreads out into
a serviceable bed. and some lucky pc.
son sleeps out of doors.
