The great question Of dyeing is that
OF color In general, velveteen and a
few woolen fabrics are the only
goods that will dye to even dark
colors. The important thing is TO
make the shade always darker than
II has been. OF course, one phase of
dyeing is simply the restoration of
color-the rejuvenation of the shade
always present
In dyeing to another color the fol-
lowing rules should be observed:
Blue and purple will not dye over
yellow or orange, nor navy blue over
brown. Green will not dye over red
or brown. Seal brown. scarlet, GRIM
son, cardinal and turkey red and gar
net viii not dye over green. nor the
first two named over blue or slate
Crimson will not dye over purple or
old gold, nor yellow over purple or
slate. Golden brown, pink, orange and
gray will not dye over any dark
colors. Black is the only shade that
will dye over everything
OF course, figured goods will dye
solid, though sometimes the stripes
or dots viii come out a lighter shade.
In considering the color, you must
have regard to every shade in the
goods.

A REPORT made to congress by a
"A commission appointed to examine
land titles in the District of Columbia
discloses that many lots of land occu-
pied by modern business houses and
residences in the national capital are
still owned by the government, not
wlthstanding the present tenants be-
Iieve they have a clear title to the
property.
This question of land titles in the
national capital is not new one. Two
years ago congress created a commits
sion to study 1t. The commission con-
sisted of the attorney general, the Sec
retary of war, Senator Scott of West
Virginia Representative Bartholdt of
Missouri and one of the district com
missioners. The report reveals hor-
rible land tangle, which the courts will
probably never be able to straighten
out The tangle is the outcome of the
wild speculation in real estate that
took place for a good many years after
the capital was laid out.

nEER and elk preserves may play an
~ important part in reducing the
high cost of beef According to gov
ernment experts who have made an
investigation of the cost and methods
OF raising venison. declare that the
game laws of the various states are
preventing deer and elk farming and
denying the country one of Its chief
sources of cheap and good meat. Deer
and elk can be raised readily In near
ly every state in the Union. They are
easily controlled and cheaply fed.
The increase of elk under domestica-
tion is fully equal to that of cattle.
The state and the government,
Through its Yellowstone park officials,
have co-operated with individual
ranchmen in caring for the vast herds
of elk In the Jacksons Hole region In
wyoming. It is estimated that there
are 10000 elk in the Yellowstone park
region, constituting the only great
herd left. For two or three winters
these elk have been fed, and have now

come to look upon the feeding as u
matter of course. and State Game
Warden Nowlin of Wyoming, who has
led the feeding experiments, says that
the last of the great elk herds is be-
coming rapidly domesticated. Several
ranchmen in the Rocky mountain coun-
try have conducted private elk pre-
serves for years. Outside of the pri-
vate elk preserves there are few herds
left in the west.
Barret Littlefield, who lives near
Slater, has several hundred elk on his
great ranch. Every season he ships
many carcasses of elk to the Denver
market besides supplying geological
gardens throughout the country. He
has found it profitable to raise elk for
the market-so profitable that he
abandoned the cattle business years
ago and has devoted himself entirely
to the raising of venison. There are
two other elk preserves in northwest
ern Colorado. ]. B. Dawson. a Routt
county pioneer, has several hundred
head of elk on his ranch near Hayden.
In nearly every state in the Union
the killing of deer is forbidden ex-
cepting in the fall and during a lin
tied period If deer and elk are to be
raised for the market the venison
farmer must be allowed to kill for the
market, whenever the demand is there.
