connect him with 1t. 1t is believed
his friends are trying. to perpetrate a
joke on him. Nevertheless here is the
proposition that he is charged with
having made.
The object of the company is to
operate large eat ranch near Tulsa,
where some cheap land might be pro
cured for that purpose.
TO start with the company woul1
collect about one hundred thousand
cats. Each cat will average twelve
kittens a year The skins will sell for
10 cents for the white ones to seven
tyfive cents for the pure black skins.
They would have about twelve million
skins to sell at an average Of thirty
cents each, making the revenue about
$4,000 per day gross.
A man can skin fifty cats per day;
he will charge 81 per day for his IN.
Dor; 1t will take about one hundred
men 20 operate this ranch therefore
the profit will be about $4,000 each
day
The cats can be FED on rats and u
rat ranch could be started, adjoining
the cat ranch. The rats will multiply
four times as fast as the cats, and
if start is made with 100000 ratS.
there will be four rats a day for each
cat which is plenty.
The cats can be fed on rats and in
turn the rats will be fed on the
stripped carcases of the cats, thus
giving each rat one fourth Of a cat. 1t
viii be seen by these figures that the
business will be self acting and auto
matte, or sort of perpetual motiua
proposition. as It were. The cats VIII
eat the rats and the rats will eat the
eats. The firm will get the skins.
Arrangements can be made with
the fiddlers' union to supply them
with catgut.
