HOW CATTLE SHRINK
IN SHIPMENT
mapping again

After weighing 10000 cattle In 265
shipments, government experts have
concluded that the normal shrinkage
of cattle in shipment Is from three
to six per cent. There are exceptions
to this rule, and and no. 10 one can say be-
fore hand just how much cattle will
shrink in going to the market. It
depends on the treatment Of the cat
tie, the length of time they are held
without feed or water, the nature OF
their feed before loading, the charac-
ter of the trip to market, the distance
shipped and the time of arrival.
The shrinkage Of the first twenty
four hours is greater than for any
subsequent twenty-four hours. Steers
generally shrink little less than
COWS OF the same weight. Fed cattle
and range cattle shrink about equal
ly. There is no way to prevent shrink
age, but careful handling and good
feeding will keep it within reasonable
bounds.
One OF the chief causes OF heavy
shr!nkage is a too severe drive to the
loading pen, especially during hot wea-
Their.

PRESIDENT ASSUMES
TASK OF SETTLING
5 STRIKE IN COLORADO

Washington. April 2s,--President
Wilson today extended the protecting
arm OF the federal government to the
state Of Colorado, Torn asunder By
riots and battles between the military
and striking mine guards, Governor
Ammons found the state militia I'M
able to cope with the situation ana
asked for help. The Colorado dele
CATION in Congress, the mine owners
and the miners themselves Joined in
the request.
II was one of the rare occurrences
in American history when state
found itself impotent to assert its
authority, but the President, In a tel.
egram to the Colorado governor, ex.
pressly stipulated that the federal
troops would conhne themselves to
maintaining order only until the state
can reassert its authority and re.
sumo the enforcement thereof.
Sends Five Cavalry Troops
The President issued a proc anna.
ton ordering all persons engaged in
domestic violence to dispense and
re tire peaceably to their abodes, be-
fore April 30. Secretary Garrison, af-
ter g conference with the President
ordered three troops of the Fifth cav
airy from Fort Leavenworth and two
troops of the Twelfth cavalry from
Fort ID. A. Russell, Wyoming to Trim
idad and Canon City, respectively.
Colorado members of Congress say
the mere presence of federal troops
will restore normal conditions and
prevent rioting. Efforts of the feder-
al government to settle the strike
thus far have failed. On this point

the whole city was rafting under the
rifle fire of the Americans and Mex
leans.
During the full period Of the twenty
one guns salute the battalions stood
at present arms and the admirals with
the right hand at their caps. About
the plaza American civilians and
British and French spectators stood
bareheaded. Only few Mexican res
idents of Vera Cruz were in the throng
and these stood apathet'c and silent
during the ceremony. From among
the half Indian workmen about the
railroad yard who witnessed the scene
came few vivas.
Refugees Moved
Emotion on the part OF the Ameri-
can refugees was everywhere noted
and not few of the American wom-
en- who recently had been In fear of
their lives in inland cities wept with
relief when they saw the emblem
which guaranteed their safety floating
above them.

the President made il clear that fed.
erai troops were being sent merely to
preserve order and not TO interfere
In the strike Controversy.
fshail not by the use of the troops

mons, or by any attempt at iurisdic.
ton inject the power of the federal
government into the controversy
which has produced the present sit
uation. The settlement of that con.
troversy falls strictly within the
field of state power.
Asks Withdrawal Of Militia
The President asked that the mil.
lila be temporarily withdrawn until
the state legislature, which is TO meet
next Monday, considers the situation
and arranges for It to resume its po-
lice duties in the state.
The situation in Colorado occupied
the President and his cabinet at
long meeting after the Presidents
telegram to Governor Ammons and
the formal proclamation calling on
malcontents to dispense were made
public. e'r.'
The Colorado situation was brought
to the attention of Congress again,
Representative Bryan of Washington
introducing a bill declaring that
state of anarchy and instruction
against the United States exists in
the state and directing the President
as commander in chief of the army
to use the federal troops to restore
order and that he acquires control of
the stocks in mining companies affec-
ted. The measure would appropriate
$1O,OOO,OOO.

ONE OF OUR GREAT INVENTIONS

1t is one of the simplest too. So
simple is 1t that we wonder why 1t

can buy IL for ten cents. But what a
tremendous and far reaching benefit
to man it becomes when it is used
Systematically! What Is It? Nothing
more or less than the humble fy-swat-

or to cooking utensils in the kitchen
would not need to be invited twice to
get a fly swatter. Not only does the

OF the deadly disease germs 1t brings

H0MESTEADERS
WILL RECEIVE
PROTECTION

The department Of the interior has
come to the rescue of the homestead
and desert land eKryman. who throu-
gh no fault Of his own, has in the past
been forced to abandon his place to
make a living elsewhere, or because
of other circumstances over which he
had no control. The act approved
Septembec 5 permits him to file again
upon proper showing.
Not only does the law save the right
of those who have already filed and
lost their lands, but it extends to the
person who files after the act was pas
sed. and who may loose their home
steads or desert entries. 1t does not
make any difference whether the land
is lost, forfeited or abandoned, the
government intends to help out the
tiler. The latter will have the same
rights as il no first entry had ever
been made.
The secretary Of the interior must
first be assured that the prior entry
or entries were made in good faith,
were lost, forfeited or abandoned be-
cause Of matters beyond the contrsl of
the entryman or woman, and that there
has been no speculation nor fraud in
connection with the prior entry or Ell.
tries.
The question whether the frat entry
or entries were made before or after
the passage of III /, act is entirely i'm
material. The land department is
charged with the dIty # p; ;ssiny IN
the good faith Of the applicant, tn. re
being no hard and fast provisions, as
in the act Of Feb. 3, 1911, limiting its
benefits to Il clearly deiinec class of
people. The local land officers are not
permitted to pass on the application
but send it TO washington with rec
concentrations.
Eight rules are laid down for the en-
tryman or woman who is going 10 try
the second time for ii homestead Or
desert land Tract. -Greely Tribune.
