N. J. SINNCTT. The earliest symptom in dogs is not, as commonly believed, a ten dency to rush furiously and blindly about, biting animals or inanimate objects Before these symptoms de velop, the animal passes through a stage of qippatreitt melancholia ,in which it tries to hide and appears restless; as the restlessness increases, the dog begins to suffer from appar ent hallucinations, snapping and emitting a characteristic bowl. A pet dog while in this condition at tempts to lick the hands of its friends. Later it leaves home, tra vels many miles and returns in a state of exhaustion which is followed covering navigation, power by paralysis and death. In some diiion The disease causes fear, dif ficult breathing and difficulty in swallowing. The patient is sensi tive to light, noise and odors. As the disease progresses convulsions develop with periods of exhaustion and death usually occurs in a violent convulsion within three weeks of the time of the first symptom.

THE CALL OF HOME By .Vi ik's Cannon, Director of Farm Economics, i . s. Bureau oi Recla mation. Irrigation already has elevated agricultural activities to the dignity of science. In every walk of life there is a constant transformation from the older to the newer meth ods. This evolution applies to the business of farming as well as to merchandising and It is well for the producer to keep up with the times. Agriculturre is the foundation stone oi human progress. During the year 1919, when the public debt was at the highest point in our his tory, the agricultural crop, including live stock, amounted to more than seventeen billion, dollars, which was within seven billion dollars of the total national debt that year. The tields and range support the entire super-structure of civilization. Our military and navel forces function only by the fruits of the farmer's toil. It has been said that if agri cultural activities should cease for a period of one year humanity would perish from the earth. It follows, therefore, that one of the fundamental duties of a govern ment Is to promote, as far as pos Ible, a practical, progressive and suc cessful agricultural policy. Th'.s is the underlying principle of tin na tional reclamation act. The western mountain region of fers an interesting phenomenon, While the farmers of Hit) hui .1.', sections are contending With Roods and droughts, the reclamation farm ers of the West are administering the moisture to their land under the most scientific and practical condi tions. The mountains reaching up into the clouds receive from the ele ments their annual tribute of snow. The spring floods are stored in vast reeorvolrs, constructed by the gov ernment, and transmited with un erring regularity and at the very hour whi n needed to the the fanner's tields in the valley below.
