Claimed Animals Can Easily Be
Raised for Market.
Meat Can Be Produced at Less Cost
Per Pound Than Beef, Mutton
or Pork-Some Sugges-
tons on Food.

Las Vegas, N. M.-George w. Russ
OF Kansas City, Mo-, who has a herd
OF about 100 elk in the Ozark noun
tains, declares that in many parts OF
the United States elk meat can be
produced at less cost per pound than
beef, mutton or pork. These animals
afford a much greater proportion OF
dressed meat than cattle do.
When 1t comes to clearing out un-
derbrush they are more useful than
goats. They brouse as low as the
goats. and also twice as high. He ad-
vises using both varieties OF animals.
however, and says that one elk and
two goats to five acres will eliminate
the brush and weeds. What is more.
brush thus cleared stays cleared.
1t is asserted that for other reasons
no better arrangement can be made
than to craze a few elk with sheep
and goats. The elk is the natural
enemy OF dogs and wolves. Mr.. Russ
says he suffered great depredations
on his focks until ne put a few elk
with them. Since Their there has been
no loss from that cause. A few elk
in a ten-acre pasture will absolutely
protect the f1ocks therein. Even the
dogs belonging in the place could not
be induced to enter a pasture contain
ing elk.
The cost OF stocking an elk pre-
serve Is not great, says Fur News.
Young elk in perfect condition may be
bought for 500 per head or less. A
few years ago Mr.. Wilson OF Lewis
burg. O.. paid $165 for three head. A
Michigan breeder recently offered a
dozen head. all fine specimens. but
age and sex not given. for $500.
This is. OF course. a low price, not
more than cattle would bring, and
less than the venison would be worth
II they could be sold in that form.
The price Of such stock is determined
by the supply and demand, and as
long as the present restrictions on the
sale OF deer and elk are maintained,
low prices are likely to prevail.
Live elk sold at forced sale have

No More Room.

The railway carriage was crowded,
but a very fat old gentleman who sat
by the window calmly ignored the
ominous looks Of the passengers for
taking up so much room.
A boy selling buns poked his head
in at the window and inquired:
Buns, sir?"
The old gentleman was slightly deaf,
and, not noticing the buns, thought
the boy wanted a seat in the already
packed carriage; so he remarked:
Full up, my boy! No more room
inside!"
A roar of laughter followed his re-
ply, and the old gentleman innocent

because it contains all the factories

constituents a lot of farmers-of which
fact he is now painfully aware.
He drove out to a settlement in
Bibb coupnty one afternoon to persuade
the farmers they ought to vote for
him. AS he stepped up to the porch
of a little store an old man rushed up
TO him with the request:
please sign this paper. It's a petit
ton to Congressman Underwood to
have a young lady postmistress here"
I'D be glad to sign it," said Under.
