FATTENINe CATTLE IN WEST
cottonseed Hulls In Oil Mill Yards
Being Fed TO 100000 Head

Guthrie, Okla. Dec. 14.-Notwith-
standing the scarcity of range cattle
is given as the main reason for high
prices OF beef throughout the country
one of the chief industries of the cot
ton growing states-the feeding OF
range cattle at cottonseed oil mills
is again on in full blast throughout
the Southwest,
over 100000 head are now being
fattened at the forty mills in this
state. The herds have been trans
ferred from summer pastures In the
Usage and Creek Indian countries,
the Panhandle district, and even from
the ranges in western Kansas and
Texas, to the oil mill yards at GuIh-
rie, Oklahoma City, Shawnee, Ada
and other points in the state.
The scarcity of range cattle has
affected this important branch OF The
oil mill industry in the Southwest In
particular. but the present winter is
seeing more cattle fattened at the
mills than for several seasons. The
recent dry summer damaging the pas
lures, is believed to have had this re.
suit, as many cattle owners have
found II necessary to make up at the
oil mills what was lost during the
summer In the fattening
The four mills at Guthrie can take
care OF 10000 head The cattle pens
connected with the mills are crowded
with range cattle, which after one
hundred days Imprisonment In the
mill yards become fat enough to
market Each steer will consume
within the one hundred days a ton OF
cottonseed hulls. The cattle fatten
rapidly Several teams are kept busy
all the time hauling the bulls from
the warehouses to the hangers.
II is maintained by cotton oil mill
owners that the hull.fed cattle will
provide the great bulk of the meat af.
ter the holidays. The cattle are now
getting in excellent condition.
A Sore Spot

A Good coniurino Trick.

A Good coniurina Trick.
 Those readers of Tn Doors and Out of Doors who are fond of conjurins before their friends will find the fol- lowing trick both effective and inex- pensive. The only articles required are three or four red cabbage leaves, three ordinary wine glasses, a lump of wash ing soda and a teaspoonful of vinegar.
 When you have obtained these. yoiI must first of all wash the leaves in cold water, then cut them up and place them in basin containing about halt a pint of boiling water, stir, and when cold, bottle the liquid, which should be of a violet color. Next, reduce the washing soda to powder, and all is ready for the great conjuMng trick.
 Fill the wine glasses full with the violet liquid. and tell your audience that you intend to change the color of two of them, and that they may point out which two are to be changed.
 Now put the vinegar into one, and the violet color will instantly change to a bright red. Drop the powdered soda into the other and that will turn at once to a beautiful green.
 The third glass is left just to show the violet color.
 If the directions are completely fol- lowed out, the trick is not likely tC fail. although, of course, it is just as well to rehearse it before you actually have an audience before you.--Tha Boys Herald.

JERRY AND BOCO PLAN A RETREAT Night Cap Story Little Folks.
(Copyrighted)
A Night Cap Story

Cats never feel at home in a tree,
 although in times of fear they make
 tree place of refuge. They can run
 up tree like a squirrel. but very few
 Of them know how to come down out
 of tree, and that is why the family
 pet has to be approached on ladder
 and be taken down from a tree to a
 place of safety. Boco had run up q
 tree before and knew how to drop out
 of one, because he had no rescuer, for
 he was Nobody's cat and had to shirk
 and shift for himself. The cats were
 in the tree and two savage dogs were
 beneath 1t; and when the dogs laid
 down to sleep Boco and Jerry began
 to talk about escaping. and Boco went
 farther up among the branches to look around to see if there was a chance to escape without disturbing the dogs, and he discovered that the limbs of two trees crossed one another ana that by climbing higher and careful iy walking out on a branch they could pass 10 the next tree and thence es- cape over the top of a ledge. He re- turned and explained the situation to Jerry, and with some misgivings he agreed to follow Boco. So up the tree they went together, crossed the inter- lacing limbs, and were soon above the ledge upon which they must drop, for there was no opportunity to ieap. Boco went out and down the distended limb with Jerry following close, and then he turned around and began to back down, and finally dropped safely to the ground. Jerry was trembling, and was almost afraid to try it; burt after much urging he tried, and with a loud "MeouW." he dropped in a heap on the grass and Boco was soon by lns side bidding him be quiet, for the dogs had started again, and looking up they saw the cats were gone and began | to run wildly around and bark; but no tracks We're left for. them to scent and they were soon off on the old track anl away nausically bounding till their l barking could be heard no more
 Roco and Jerry iluddled close to- gether, and just as d quiet night in the woods is to us it was to them:
 shadows or sound so light they drift upon the ground; within the hedge, whispering wings at the nests edge; among the trees, the last faint inde : cision of the breeze" Everything seemed safe, everything invited to sleep, and to sleep the two friends went They could not tell how long | they i1ad slept when they were aroused by the nfght-rending screeches of an old owl. Boco knew the sound, and pacified Jerry by telling him owls were not able to harm cats; and that God had made them with eyes to see with in the night. too; and they caught field mice with their claws and loved 1 to feast upon them just as cats do-- that they had faces very much like cats and dressed something like a hawk.
 The school of experience< was prov- ing to be great school for Jerry, and l they sat and saw the day break and heard the wake-up's IRetallic call and the chorus of the birds as in regular order they sang their morning songs. They had no more frights that ntkht

WILL cHEAPEN NEWS PAPER.

Since the pulp mills take material teo small for the lumber mills--jack pine. spruce, f1emIock and tamarack-- species suitable for paper making can be cur to low timber diameter, and thus the balance may be turned in favor of the reproduction of the more valuable kinds of trees.
 In addition to the benefit which the public will derive from the advance ment Of forest conservation in conse- quence Of the wood pulp experiments of the government. there is the fur ther benefit of cheaper paper which it is believed these experiments should make possible. The price of paper of the cheaper grades, including news paper has been advancing rapidly of late years as the supply of spruce has dwindled, and American mills are now drawing a large part of their supply from Canada. If ground pulp of the requisite quality can be made from new and abundant woods as cheaply as it is made from spruce. one of the most serious problems of the news paper publisher nowadays will or should be considerably simplified
