Latter Process the Only Method Whers
Many Cattle Have to be Treated.

In South Africa is a disease very
similar to Texas fever but the result
of different germ. 1t is, however,
spread in the same manner as is
Texas fever, by means of the tick. The
stockmen, therefore, are fighting the
ticks, and various methods are being
used in this warfare. One of these
is the dipping of the cattle, as in this
country, and another method is the
spraying of the cattle. In this spray
ing, kerosene Is used, and to it is
sometimes added arsenic, to make the
effect of the spraying more pro.
nounced. Kerosene mixed with water
is said to be harmless to the skin of
the cattle and to cost only about four
cents per head. The cost of dipping
is not much more, but the cost of the
dipping plant is considerable. This
is the claim of the men that practice
the spraying and believe in 1t. The
men that hold to the dipping as the
most effective means state their side
of fthe argument thus:
Spraying requires five times as
much time as does dipping On
small farm spraying may be the
cheaper, but on large ranch where
thousand cattle must be treated, the
matter of time is a great one. It re.
quires as long to spray zoo cattle as
1t would require to dip thousand
Dipping destroys the ticks much more
effectively than does spraying. For
this reason the dipping arrangement
has displaced the spraying apparatus
on nearly all cattle ranches that carry
large numbers of cattle.

pendicular, will be able to pull heavy
load without injuring his shoulders
The collar will not work up and choke
him and his shoulders will stand UP
well under heavy work. A horse with
shoulders like Fig. will stand ordi
nary work and drive well, but horse
with very sloping shoulders like Fig
3 is suitable only for use as a saddle
horse. Such shoulder usually goes
with short coupling and well sprung
ribs, which are characteristic of a
good saddler, says Farm and Home.

half, of the entire shipment of ore
from that region. 1t is believed that
the trust will not take less than 22.-
100000 tons this year. At the latter
rate its ore supply will last just 70
years and 6 months. 1t is not be-
yond the range of possibility, how
ever, that other deposits than those of
which there is now knowledge will be
brought to light on the property 1t
has leased from Mr. HILL or the iron
ore produced In the world in 1908,
which amounted to 101 ,785,000 tons,
more than third was mined in the
United States, fifth in Germany, and
1875 per cent. in Great Britain. From
the soil of two states alone, Mime
sofa and Michigan, nearly 5000 900
tons was brought forth from the
mines, or about 100000 more than
the industrious inhabitants of the
German empire took out of their part
of the earth's crust. All of this ore

lakes. While iron ore was mined in
20 other states and two territories
that year, only one-Alabama-pro
duced over million TONS It's product
was 3,648,960 TONS The steel trust
has reached into the future and has
assured itself of supply of the es-
sential raw material sufficient to last
more than two generations.
In order to make sure of a 20 years
supply, in addition to the so or go
years stock on hand, 1t has agreed
to pay the highest royalties ever paid
for the right to mine iron ore. The
steel trust will pay to Mr.. Hills COM
panies a royalty of S5 cents a ton
for hauling 1t to the upper lake piers,
with an increase of "a cents a ton
each succeeding year. 1t has agreed
to take out 100000 tons in 1907, and
to increase the amount each year by
100000 tons, until the amount reaches
S,250,000 tons. That means that in
1917 the trust will take the maximum
amount Of ore, and pay $1.19 a ton
royalty for it. Mr.. Hills road will
make about so cents a ton hauling
this ore.

Billions of Dollars of Metal Under
the Crust of Old Mother Earth
in the Mesaba Range.

+ LII. . -
The greatest ore deal In the world
was that In which J. J. Hill trans
ferred the right to mine the Hill prop
critics in the Mesaba range to the
United States Steel corporation. Few
realized when they read the news item
announcing the transaction what was
involved.
1t Is believed by conservative judges
that the United States Steel corpora
ton now has in its possession the
largest individual reserve deposit to
be found In the world It has been
estimated that there is beneath the
relatively shallow blanket of turf COW
ering the ore on the Mesaba range
and In the Michigan beds just across
the head of Lake Superior, about
100000, 900 tons of ore. OF this the
steel trust controlled before 1t secured
the right to delve in Mr.. Hills iron
pile about 1.250,00O,000 tons of ore,
an asset on the basis of one dollar a
ton, which exceeds the entire capital
stock of the trust-$1 100, 000, 900. Now
1t can draw on a total deposit of ], $780,
100000 tons, an asset of as many dol
lars. On this valuation 1t would re-
quire approximately two-thirds of the
entire money supply of the country to
pay cash for this deposit.
How big pile of ore Is 1t that
the trust now controls and how long
will it last? A ton of ore does not al
ways occupy the same space Some
ore weighs more to the cubic foot
than other ore. The average con-
tents of ton are between nine and
ten cubic feet Say nine cubic feet.
Then the trust has secured from Mr..
Hill and allied interests a pile 100
feet deep, a mile wide and a mile and
three-fifths long.

iron wealth keep the steel trust sup

The story of Christopher Millsap, a

illustration of the way in which the
wind is often tempered to the shorn

Not on account of any fault of his,
but because the business would not
Justify keeping him on the salary list

situation.
Day after day he tried to secure an
other, but without success. One morn

to his last cent and was thinking
gloomily of suicide as the only way
out of his troubles, the postman hand
ed him letter. 1t was from Ketch-
ham & Fleecem, attorneys at law,
Brattleboro, VT, and read as follows:

TONS or GOLD TREASURE
vast store of Wealth Enantied From
New World Into Old.

1t has never been told how vast was
the treasure that was emptied from the
new world into the old in the glorious
days of the Spanish dominion. we can
only Judge of how great it was bv col
lateral evidence. The bottles of Cortes
and Pizarro are famous in nnals of
new world history. In them we have
read how the soldiers of the former
carried away only a small part of the
treasures looted at Mexico, yet were SO
loaded down with stolen gold that
when they fell from the causeway into
the Lake in the memorable retreat from
Mexico they sank and drowned as
weighted with plummets of lead. also
we read how Pizarro exacted as y trib-
ute for the liberation of the inca Ats-
huIpa gold that filed to the denth of
several feet q room seventeen feet wid
by twenty-five feet long and that was
valued at 100000 pesos dor. the
equivalent of nearly $4,000 of orr
money.
