erating  in  eastern  Oregon  in  an  effort  to

'  Pasteur  treatment  is  being  adminis¬ 
tered  to  the  wife  of  a  farmer  living  at 
Waterford,  Ivy.,  as  a  precaution  against 
hydrophobia,  she  having  been  exposed  to 
infection  while  trying  to  save  the  life  of 
a  sheep  that  had  been  bitten  by  a  rabid 
dog.  The  dog  bit  15  sheep.  Four  of 
the  sheep  died  and  five  others  wore  suf¬ 
fering  from  infection.  After  the  dog  was 
killed  the  sufferer  attempted  to  sew  up 
lacerations  around  the  mouth  of  one  of 
the  sheep.  In  doing  so  blood  of  the  an¬ 
imal  found  its  way  into  an  open  cut  on 
her  hand.

cumulations  of  seal  bones  exist  on  both 
St.  Paul  and  St.  George  Islands,  of  the 
I’ribilof  group,  the  fertilizer  value  of 
which  is  estimated  at  millions  of  dollars.

When  a  smelter  buys  gold  ore 
he  buys  not  merely  two  thousand 
pounds  but  he  insists  on  knowing 
how  much  gold  is  in  the  ore,  and 
you  should  know  the  amount  of 
active  nitrogen,  which  is  the  gold 
of  the  fertilizer.
