King, on “ Making the farm a factory,” is illu- minating. Comparing modern methâ€" ods of farming with those of fifty years ago, Mr. King says in part: “ One may see a moderate sized en- gine hauling five or six large selfihind- crs, each one cutting a strip eight feet wide, binding the grain into neat uni- . f-irm bundles, and dropping them in bunches of five or six, handy for the shockers. Or in some sections one .inay see a large engine hauling a com- J‘lhined harvester and thresher. This Emachine, with five or six men to oper- ate it, will walk right down through -‘=a 'field of grain, and cut it, thresh it, - throw the straw onto the grOund and isack the grain ready for hauling to 'market. In this way one engine and 'five or six men will cut and thresh from one hundred to one hundred and twenty acres of grain in ten hours. To do this same work in the old way would require thirty-five to forty men to cut the grain, fifty or sixty to bind it, and, if it were wheat that went twenty-five bushels to the acre, would require three hundred and seventy-five men to thresh it with flails ; one en- gine and six men operate a machine “that does the work of four hundred and fifty men of fifty years ago." Here, of course, as in all other de- partments of production, the predomi- unating tendency is to reduce cost by means of the conservation of human energy. With such a movement we _.have no quarrel, for the desire to save ‘labor is inherent in the race and is the basis of its progressâ€"puritan dedication of Work notwithstanding. \Vhat of the labor-power that is thus .conserved? We need only note the stremendous flow of population that has been taking place towards Indus- 'irial centres during the past century. .An influx that has caused those cen- Wétres to raise the cry “Back to the aloud,” ras a means of ridding them- selves of a troublesome surplus of 1a- v'ibor. Before commenting further, let ins quote Mr. King’s closing remarks: “ The day of the traction engine has ‘but begun. The machine, or power, alarm is with us. In the future we .~shall “traction” the soil, and the lhorse will become more of a friend mud companion and less of a slave. 7The young man who delights in hand- :ling machines and engines will find his delight at home on the farm, and unit in the dark, dirty crowded city. On the machine farm he will find the opportunity to do the great things of which he dreams, and his labor prob- lems will have been solved. He will become an impOrtant factor in the ,great task of feeding the world. ' With a large roomy house, the far- mer of the future can have all the modern conveniencies of a city home, with the blessing of 'pure air, room and space, delightful scenery and priv- acy without seclusion, which are only known to the city dweller on rare hol- idays. He will have modern plumb- ing and heating systems. If he don’t care to make his gas engine do double shifts in the fields, he can hitch it in 1'"! evening to a private dynamo, and it will light his home and burns, and smile he sleeps will charge a storage battery with which to operate pumps, feed grinders, washing machines and other things during the day. With ‘i‘he traction engine, the automobile, modern home equipment with sewers :and electricity, the telephone and the daily mail at his disposal, the farmer will be the aristocrat of the future.” What a vision to brighten the lone- ?iiy hours of the humble homesteader, a-i pensiver ‘he stuii's the Macklin Mourn into a hole through which the blizzard loves to blow. But, alas ! we four such things are not for him. He who would reach the Touch-the-button farm, must woo the land with some- thing more seductive than three cases of household effects and a team of an- imated spavins. The farmer “aristocrat of the fu- ture ” must have capital, and lots of it. \Vhich is another way of saying that, instead of the farmer of t-o-day be. r‘oming an aristocrat, the industrial ~aristocrat of to-day will spread his aristocracy over the rural districts. l’roletarians who get “back to the land" will go as wage slaves. As for the farmer who works a comparative- ly small patch of. ground with such tools as he can scrape together, his lot will be to grow humped of back and anxious of mind, openly bragging of his independence, secretly envying his more fortunate brother who runs the engine or tends tho ploughs on the es- late (if the "squire" of automobiles and electric light; I One pleasing feature is the freeing of the horse. Too long he has been a slave. And when horses can get eman- cipated, there begins to be some hope for wage-slaves. Let ths good work go steadily on. The inevitable result of economic evolution is political revo lution; which latter, as we see it now, would be much to our advantage, and is therefore greatly .to be desired.â€" Western Clarion, Vancouver, B. C. . The capitalistic system was evolved through revolution from the feudal. The social system will evolve through revolution from the capitalist. Under socialism the means of life will be at the command of everyone. At present they are at the command of a few only, and the many have to work beyond their strength or starve. ’ RABIES, HY'D'RUPHOBIA A History of tho Dloouoo and How to Trout It .â€"â€"-â€"- During the past year many cases oi rabies have been reported in Canada, which have caused much loss or live stock, and. in several localities, people have been bitten. This is one of tho oldoot diseases known. in the iourth century B. C. it was described by Aristotle. who wrote: “Dogs suitor lrom u mudnou which puts them in u slate of fury. and all the unlmalu that they bito whon in this condition become also attached by rabies.’ The seuson of tho year make. very little difference. as the disease is iuoi us prevalent in winter as it is in war ' mer. This seems contrary to the ideas of many people. who think that July and August. “dog days." no tho only limo that dogs oro subject to rublos. Couoo Rubies is caused in nooriy oil couc- by the bito of u rabid animal. it in ulblo to contract tho diocupo from - saliva. the tours from the eyes. or tho milk of a rabid animal.

Not-all ani- mall bitten develop the disease. it depends somewhat upon the part of the body which was bitten. lu mun there is less danger it bitten through the clothing than upon the bare port- of the body. it is not uncommon for the symptoms to develop in loss than two Weeks when bitten upon the head. The symptoms show in one or two iormoâ€"duriouo or dumb. Furious Rubiofo With tho furious form tho dog in at first noticed to seek the company of his master more than usual. or he will hunt dark. secluded places. Some- times he will make sudden starts to- wards objects. These conditions last for a day or two. Later he becomes restless. and will oilen travel twenty to thirty miles in a day. While he is on this trip he is very likely to bite cattle. hogs, [ere with his course. He will usually return home uulesa he is killed. Dur- ing this period he is irritable, seldom eating or drinking, not because he does not want food or water, nor be- cause he ls afraid of water. for he is not. but from the fact that his throat is paralyzed and he cannot swallow. Oiien he will force sticks and stones down his throat in efforts to satin! hunger and thirst. This period cl irritation lasts for two to three days. followed by a period of paralysis, which has already taken place in the throat. as shown by the voice. which has already changed to u prolonged bowl, and the inability to swallow. This is iollowed by paralysis and death, the entire symptoms looting from four to ten days. Dumb Rubioo The dog seek: his master's company or may hide in dark places, being un- able to out or drink. the lower Jaw hangs down and the tongue protrudes. which may swell and turn dark.

They have never been iound unless the animal has been inoculated with rabies virus. There are also changes in the nervous ganglia in the last stage oi rabies, but this manner of diagnosis is more uncertain asd of little use in the early stages of the disease. Sticks and stones may be found in the stomach of a rabid dog. Troutmom This consists of a preventative treatment (Pasteur), which must be taken before the symptoms have de- veloped. in order'io be effective it should be taken within a few days af- ter having been bitten by a rabid ani- mal. The treatment may also be given to valuable domestic animals. w ' u .s.â€"_.... Umifioh‘. Mrs. Bockbuy-Why are you leav- ing no. Bridget? Boston Cook-:M'o reasons are philanthropic.
