Dog Obeyed Orders Given Over Phone REGINA, SASK.—Dinty Moore, Saskatchewan’s most unusual dog, is dead. He took orders—and obeyed them—over a telephone. His owner left his car and the dog at a garage one day. The dog refused to let the mechanic into the car. Then he thought of phoning the owner. He asked the owner to speak to the dog over the phone. The phone line was extended and pulled out to the car and the owner shouted, “Come home,’’ into the dog’s ear. The dog was off like a shot and on his way home. DOG JOINS OWNER FISHING FOR RATS Pet Makes Kill After Prey la Safely Hooked. CHARLESTOWN, W. VA.—A. L. Nidy uses a fishing pole, line and hook to keep down the rat population around his house. And don t forget Pooch, his white dog of an “ordinary” breed. This modern Pied Piper looked to his fishing outfit when he learned that ordinary rat traps were ineffective against the wary invaders. So Nidy and Pooch went “ratfishin’.” The method, as demonstrated by the man and dog, is simple. Nidy has a fishing pole to which is attached a stout cord with a triad hook on the end. He uses a small chunk of meat for bait and dangles the baited hook near a rathole. Before long there is a bite. After he feels certain the victim is solidly “hooked” Nidy pulls in the line and jerks the rat out of the hole. Then Pooch goes into action. He grips the rat firmly and enthusiastically about the neck with his teeth, shakes the prey violently and that’s that. “You see, it’s just the same as going fishing, and besides it’s a lot more fun,” declared Nidy in his home in West Charleston. “I sic Pooch on the rat and let him do the killing.” Nidy’s fishing methods of rat catching have spread around the neighborhood, he said. Several of the neighbors’ boys have adopted the diversion as a new sport that meets parental approval. Japanese ‘Leper Gang' Uses Disease as Threat TOKYO.—A “leper gang” which terrorized robbery victims by threatening to communicate their dread disease, has been rounded up by police at Osaka, the Domei News agency said. Forty-three members of the gang were convicted on various robbery charges June 3, but police withheld the announcement, fearing the disclosure would frighten citizens. The entire gang was arrested February 5 in a raid on several houses on “Leper avenue.” Police wore rubber gloves and old uniforms drenched with germicides. At a private trial all members of the court, the prisoners and the police were sprayed with disinfectants. 'Police testified that the gangsters conducted a reign of terror, entering homes and stores and waylaying pedestrians. They always threatened to convey the disease unless the victims yielded. Fisherman Finds Glasses In Belly of Big Codfish AUGUSTA.—From the insides of cod Maine fishermen report they get a more varied lot of objects than from anything else that swims the Atlantic waters. A Vinalhaven fisherman reports having found a pair of horn-rimmed glasses in the belly of a big cod. “Bet I’ve taken enough things out of a codfish, in my life, to start a small variety shop,” he said. They even say that a fish surgeon, opening a 25-pound cod, found inside of it a jack-knife with a big blade open, half a dozen starfish and two glass marbles. The cod grabs anything in its way. George A. Hires attended the funeral of Edward O’Connor in Ligonier last Saturday.

I*OLAND*S HISTORIC TRUMPET NEW YORK—Every day at noon an historic episode of more than 700 years ago is to be recalled at Poland’s Building in the New York World's Fair 1939. Ascending a 150-foot tower, a trumpeter wih sound the “hejnal,” a national call which ends abruptly on an unfinished note. During the Tartar invasion of 1241, a Polish trumpeter blew the call to warn of the enemy’s approach. The call was cut short when an arrow struck the trumpeter in the throat. Ending on this unfinished note, the call has been blown daily ever since from St. Mary’s steeple in Gracow.

Marshal’s Wife Finally Gets Rid of Woodchuck AUGUSTA, MAlNE.—Animal life easily makes the print in Eastport because of the interesting circumstances. “Chippy,” the pet woodchuck of City Marshal and Mrs. Albert Morrison has returned to his native haunts and the Morrisons have a new and younger woodchuck. “Chippy,” however, did not want to leave his mistress and when taken into the woods in the Cannon hill section by Mrs. Morrison, followed her to the road.

Her Foot Catches Bass Weighing Eight Pounds DELAND, FLA.—Miss Lurlayne Mercer exhibited an eight-pound black bass which she said she caught by using her foot for a fishing pole. Miss Mercer said she fastened a short line with an artificial plug minnow to her foot, and was dangling it idly in St. John’s river when the bass struck. She flipped the fish to the barge on which she was sitting, then baited her hook for another try. Important Hints Given For Handling Pullets These are important steps in the successful management of the pullets for a good laying and breeding flock this fall, according to a writer in Hoard’s Dairyman: Range the pullets and cockerels separately. Move the pullets to the laying house soon after they start to lay. Provide a summer range shelter to take the place of the brooder house. Get pullets out on clean range. Alfalfa or sudan pasture makes good range. Hopper-feed both grain and a good commercial or home-mixed growing mash during the growing period. An automatic waterer and selffeeder will reduce the labor in caring for pullets on range. Provide the pullets with artificial shade if trees, shrubs, or a corn field are not near the brooding range. Do not house more than 100 pullets in a 10 foot by 12 foot brooder house during the hot summer months. Siberian Rye Grass Siberian rye grass, a decent citizen »n its homeland, went hog-wild when transplanted to the nursery at PuUman, Wash. Being unaccustomed to such luxury of soil and climate, it ran amuck like morn-ing-glory, a single plant covering a 12-foot spread and extending its roots down 36 inches into the subsoil in one season. Now recognized as a menace to better farming land, it is penned up with galvanized steel sheets extending two feet below the surface. Later it will be transferred to the sandy, blow-soil areas of the state where under-nourishment and thirst will tame it down and put it to useful work.—The Country Home Magazine. Comb, Wattle Disease * The disease affecting the comb and wattles of poultry is known as favus. It is due to the presence of a fungus organism, advises a poultryman in the Boston Globe. This parasite is transmitted from fowl to fowl by direct or indirect contact. Affected birds should be promptly isolated and treated by the application of a mixture of one part of tincture of iodine and six parts of glycerine. It should be applied two or three times a week. When the feathers and the skin and parts other than the wattles and comb are affected, it is advisable to destroy the bird rather than take a chance on its spreading disease. Inflated Collar for Horse Comfort for the horse is offered in an inflated collar which eliminates much of the scuffing of the animal’s neck in pulling heavy loads. So elastic is the collar, says Popular Mechanics magazine, that the driver may slip his hand between the collar and the horse’s shoulder without discomfort while a full load is being handled. The collar consists of a special rubber tube fitted into an ordinary collar and inflated with five pounds of air.
