COL WILLIAM F. CODY-"BUFFALO BILL
together with Charles Goodnight, on
the we'll known Goodnight. ranch in
Texas The effort was responded to by
Colonel Cody on his own great estate,
near Cody. Wyo. Although the expert
ment has not been carried far enough
to demonstrate its entire practicable
ty. enough has been done to prove that
the bison in the form of 'catalo'-part
buffalo and part cattle-if not the pure
buffalo, may have Il new term of eX-
istence. On the Goodnight ranch are
more than 100 head of "catalo."
1t has been found possible in a num-
Der of cases on the Cody and Good
night ranches and in the other places
where small but tlourishing herds of
"catalo" exist to breed the animals in
and in, so that the offspring are three
fourths or more buffalo and the re-
mainder cattle. The hybrids of what
ever degree. retain the desirable char
acterstics of their wild ancestors,
while they possess the improved quail
ity of meat and softer hair that render
the animal better for human use than
the bison.
Experiments in hybridiZation of ami
mails have hitherto been for the most
part ballled by the inability of the re-
sultirg cross to perpetuate its species.
This difficulty does not exist in the
case of the "catalo." one OF them has
been known to raise eight calves in
the past seven years. The "catalo"
of three-quarters buffalo blood are best
for furnishing the famous and desira-
bic buffalo robes. the price of which
has mounted steadily since the eXtinc-
ton of the original wearers. For beef
the quarter bl0ods are the most promis-
ing. since they unite with the greater
size Of the buffalo the finer grain and
sweeter taste of beef. Outside Of the
hump and few other portions buf-
falo meat is of coarse grain and strong
flavor
A "catalo" weighs on an average
about 800 pounds more than the native
steer. In its hump" the meat Of
which is equal to that of the finest
beef. it carries about 100 pounds. I'm

hind quarters of the animal are apt to

It's wild ancestor, the ''cata lD" can liyt

support cattle, since the buffalo has the
faculty of feeding without destroying

The foot had been amputated as re-

little chance Of the mans recovery.
Still the doctor felt justified In taking
that chance and therefore amputated

ton. and in few weeks the actor
was ready to resume work. The doctor
fitted him with an artificial leg. and
his good fortune began.
He at once undertook part where
his leg was knocked off, to the horror
Of the audience. After the apparent

The following rules sum up the mat

16 or u by "a inches makes conven-
lent size Make the icehouse impene-
trable by air below or under or around
the ice. Thus the crevices between
the blocks must be filed with the small
broken ice by sweeping every layer
with a broom. This compact mass is
then covered to protect it from contact
with the air. 1t should rest on a bed
of one foot Of dry sawdust or other dry
packing No drains or other means or
contact with air must be permitted.
II the house has double walls. with
foot OF dry sawdust between. no cover
ing need be used on the sides OF the
ice. but this is desirable under ordi-
nary circumstances as extra means or
safety. The ice is covered with two
feet Of dry sawdust. The gable ends
of the house should have Slated win

the top covering Of the ice may be kept

still further assist ventilation. The
ice must be taken from the top. and as

Result of PropSr Packing.
Under these arrangements the ice
will freeze together as the blocks lie in
contact and form one single mass.
Each block thus keeps the next one
cold This happens by reason OF
process Of regulation. which means
freezing again" 1t is property of
Ice that if two pieces are brought into
close contact they will freeze together.
This is how icebergs are formed. by
masses of ice coming into contact and
uniting by this curious property; hence
IL is well 10 sweep the sinall uuSt udue
in the handling of the blocks in the
house into cracks between the blocks,
and sometimes water is poured over
each layer OF the Ice TO make the mass
still more compact. For this reason
also the blocks should be carefully
marked out on the ice and cut TO ac-
curate measure.
Best Time ~ Cut and Pack Ice.
1t is desirable to cut and pack the Ice
IN the codest weather for then ice is
the most solid aud hard. To put up
ice in warm or rainy weather is TO be
avoided. and il Is well to open tue house
a few days before the ice is packed to
