industry safeguards canadians financial ly at low cost every so often farmers have un expected problems t face a few years ago it was foot and mouth disease then came newcastle dis ease in poultry and now it ta rab ies of the three rabies is the most dangerous because of its menace to children however it is comforting to know that it can be controlled to a certain extent by vaccination of work dogs and household pets that however does not protect children from stray dogs that may come around or from foxes if a family happens to live near a wooded area as most people know the dread disease is usually passed on to hu mans by the bite of an animal but we should remember that the in fection is in the saliva of the an imal and may be transmitted quite innocently if a dog licks a child who may have a scratch or akin- abrasion that is if the dog has already contracted the disease perhaps the most disquieting thing about the whole business is contained in the warning that it is a situation wc must learn to live with for several years ves there is reason for worry and for every precaution to be taken that is by seeing to it that ourdogs arc vaccinated against- the disease and by warning children not to pet strange dogs and how thankful wc should be that vac cination is possiblethanks to the dangerous and untiring research work carried out by louis pasteur many years ago pasteur risked his own life a good many times in carrying out his experiments before the first inoculation of a child bitten by a mad dog was possible the exper iment was successful and led to the formation of the pasteur in stitute in 1888 had it not been for pasteur the danger from the pres ent outbreak of rabies would be far greater that people are aware of the danger is evident as last week when i phoned our vet about having our two dogs inoc ulated i was told his supply of vaccine was exhausted but that more was on the way on the other side of the picture this rabies scare may have one good effect there will probably be fewer stray dogs around and those who do keep dogs will be more particular abput having them under control or lose their pets perhaps too fewer people will want to keep dogs at all rabies- is a disease we have always had to s contend with but i doubt if there was ever a time in history when the dog population was aa great as it is today well quite apart from the rab ies scare there has been plenty of excitement around here just late ly three farms in our immediate vicinity have been aold which sort of leaves us sitting in the middle from choice not necessity the way farms arc selling these days makes a person almost dizzy that4srwicn they are aold in some cases speculators come along take an option on a farm and leave the farmer hopefully sitting there then comes another fellow offers jj better price with a good down payment which the farmer cannot accept because he is al ready tied up with an option there are so rriany snags in land deals that no one should accept the first offer that comes along nor sign any agreement without the advice of a good lawyer we also hear of farmers keeping their farms but selling their milk cows because of the shortage of help we wonder where it is au going to end well spring is in the air last week i mentioned seeing one crow now there are whole famil ies of crows flying around and the redwoods in the swamp are getting a deeper color and the roads have started their usual breakup some of- them are al ready in terrible condition here and there wc hear people predict ing an early spring and i wouldnt be surprised if they are right already many housewives have started spring cleaning try ing tp get done before the hot weather sets in hot weather what a thought may we be deliv ered from the kind of heat wc had last year strange how even house plants have a way of coming to life early in march our maidenhair has a few tiny flowers on one frond little- wee flowers that look more like stars and are scarcely a quarter of an inch ac ross and i dont know what to do with my christmas cactus it wont stop blooming almost as soon aa the christmas bloom had died off it started budding again and yet throwing out new leaves at the same time the geranium slips arc beginning to get spindlcy but most of them are in bud and a few in bloom 1 shall be glajd whenit comes time to set them out one needs to love flowers to work with them as they certainly take a lot of time- ana patience and it is all a labor of love our only reward is the color and brightness they bring into qur lives can you imagine a
