Goats Cut Trails For Fire
Guards.
Van Norden Magazine.

Van Norden Magazine.
There may be some doubt Of the
truth of the oft-repeated story that a
goat will thrive on a tin can diet but
that it grows fat and frisky on brush
and small trees-bark and trunks-is
being proved every day on the Las
sen Forest Preserve in California.
Three thousand of the Angora variety
are busily engaged in cutting trails
for fire guards through the thick un-
dergrowth on the slopes of the noun
tains out there and they eat as they
work. The industrious animals have
been divided into two bands and are
grazed under the care of herders
within certain well-defined areas.
They have practically killed all the
brush in the course marked out eth
er by eating it all, or barking, as in
the case of heavy manzanita bushes.
When these animals, have finished a
job, and which mere man would not
have done half so thoroughly, and for
which he would have charged good
many dollars, they are in excellent
condition and worth far more in the
market than when they began.

JENNINGS BLAMED FOR
THE LOSS OF ONE GAME
Detroit ROoters Criticise Manager for Allowing
Summers to Start Game When "Not Right"

Deroit, Oct I7.-There is no denying
the fact that the worlds series just lost
to the Plttsburg Pirates stung Detroit
worse than either Of the defeats by the
Cubs. which had preceded. The teams
looked so evenly matched on paper be-
fore the start that the local populace
was ready for the sensational sort OF
competition when II came.
The fact that the Tigers were, for the
first time. able to do something with the
opposition pitching stirred the bugs TO
fever heat. But when the pinch came
they failed. and the failure came where
it hurt worst, in the inability Of the ia
nous sluggers OF Mr.. jennings batting
orderRo connect with the curves OF a
young pitcher who. up to the close OF
the season, had been regarded as little
more than a pitcher for emergencies,
when games were irretrievably won or
lost.

for the loss Of one game. This was made
in the contest in which he started sum

that he had nothing with which TO stop
