RAISING WOLVES PAYS
AS AN IOWA INDUSTRY
FARMERS DO PROFITABLE RUsl.
NESS UNDER BOUNTY LAW
Find the Game Is Better Than Hog
Raising-Domesticated Pair of
Wolves, Says One Farmer, Can
"Make Race Suicide Look silly"
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
BURLINGTON, Iowa, Jan. 2o.-Rais-
ing hogs has always been regarded as
a profitable industry, but raising
wolves is said to pay better.
1t has come to the ears of Des
Moines county officials that the latter
occupation is being carried on system
aticaly by n few farmers, who hope
to reap a good profit next spring. The
county pays 81 for every cub wolf
scalp presented "a the auditors Office
and $5 for every old VOLTS scalp. 1t
has been noticed for several years that
certain farmers have been reaping a
harvest each spring on bounties for
wolf scalps. Rarely was an old VOLTS
scalp presented and this fact served
to arouse the suspicious of the county
officials.
A farmer from one of the townships
where the wolves have been particu-
larly plentiful was in the city the
other day and unbosomed himself Of
a few facts concerning the wolf rails
ing industry.
TITS more profitable to raise wolves
than it is hogs" said the farmer. "If
you have noticed, the scaps of the old
wolves are never turned in for bounty.
There is a good reason for this, as the
elimination of the old wolves would put
an end to the propagation of the spe-
cies and the collection Of wolf boun-
ties. Why. 1 know farmer who has
considerable timber land on his place
who has several old wolves that are as
tame as shoats.
"It costs little or nothing to keep
them and every spring when the young
wolves are born the lair is invaded
and the youngsters knocked on the
head before their eyes are open. They
mean two dollars apiece at the audi
tors office.
IT'S surprising how domesticated
pair of wolves will make race suicide
look silly. If an effort was made / war
rant that every wolf in the county could
be exterminated in a short time. But
what Is the use OF exterminating them
when a little encouragement will keep
them alive and breeding two dollar
b.lls?"
1t is said that an Investigation will
be made by county officials into this
state of affairs and the wolf breeders
will be prosecuted.

Among the
New Books

M RS. Lu Wheat, who went tc
wv China with letters from WI
Ting-fang, and there studied the
country and it's people, has embodied
/ the results Of her observations in quite
a thick volume entitled "The Third
Daughter" 1t is an attempt to depict
the higher class Chinese in their home
life, not the coolie at all-the class
that usually comes to the United States
Mrs. Wheat, whose home is in Los
Angeles, says OF her work.
"As 1 see it, the morals of the Asiatic
man are far better than ours and we
must sit at the feet of poor old China
as we are wont to call her and learn.
Abstemiousness in eating and drink
ing, control over the passions and de-
Votion to family life make the China
man the fittest to survive of any man
we know
His method is transmitting the force
that we are wont to call passion into
a soul force. rather than permitting it
to scatter uncleanness through the
body.
THE Euraslan or halfbreed is the
typical mixed blood. More or less
weakened, more or less handicapped
by the fierce passions of her western
father Throughout the book I have
tried to keep close to the line of fact
and science. The missionary is not
abused although the inadequacy of
their philosophy of thought is every
where apparent"
While few will likely admit the force
of this estimate of race type, Mrs
Wheat is entitled to her say-and she
says it in attractive form.
