1t is not generally known that until
the year 1884 there was tne:..;,.t.rie of
wild beasts in the Tower OF London.
In his book. London SurvivaIs. the
Rev. +. IL. DitchfieId writes:
"a word or two may be said about
this collection of beasts. 1t commenced
with the present of three leopards from
the Emperor Frederick TO Henry ILL.,
an appropriate gift. as our sovereign
bore three Of these animals on his
shield OF arms. and then a white bear
was added. for which the sheriffs of
London were ordered to provide muz-
zle and an iron chain to secure him
when out of the water and long. stout
cord TO hold him when fishing in the
Thames. We fear his successors at the
geological gardens do not enjoy the like
diversion. Then came an elephant. In
the time of Edward III. there was a
lion. for which the sheriffs. who must
have deemed these creatures trouble
some beasts. had to provide daily q
quarter OF mutton.

THEY LOST THE PRIZE

But Then the contenders Were Only a
Lot of Sea GuIls.
Some campers at northern lake
once put big fish on a sloping rock
near the waters edge to see what the
gulls would do.
a soaring scavenger soon spied it
and swooped down for a feast.
Selling the fish in his talons the vo-
racious bird tapped its great wings
and screamed greedily as he tried to
make off with his find.
But the fish was too heavy TO be
lifted The only result of repeated
attempts was that the fish began to
slide toward the water and soon fell
In with a splash.
Diving after it, the gull brought 1T
to the surface. and then began a curl
Gus spectacle. Time after time the gull
hoisted the fish as high as his strength
would permit. only TO weaken and let
the fish fall again. The noise attracted
other gulls and a battle ensued. First
one gull and then another would dive
for the fish. lift It part way above the
waters surface and be set upon By
other gulls until the fish slipped back
sacrifice TO jealousy and greed.
For almost an hour this struggle
lasted. ending only when all the gulIs
We're tired out. The prize was lost.
A fraction OF the energy thus spent
in scrapping over an object too bic
to handle would have secured for each
gull an ample meal of smaller fish
with which the lake abounded.
Or, little cooperation, instead OF
so much crazy competition. would
have lifted the Gsh TO safe place OF
| dry land. where all the gulls could
have Toasted at their leisure.
But they were only guIls: hungry

FEED THE SURPLUS CROPS

It would seem from present indica- tions that more feed will be produced on the farms of the Southwest this year than for any previous season in many years. In the first place, more feed crops have been planted and will be planted during the summer and fall than for years. There is also greater variety of feed rops than usual, which means that there will be several kinds available for the stock making it feasible to feed more and and perhaps several kinds of animals.
 While farming was somewhat re- tarded in the spring because of ex- cessive rains there was sufficient fair weather, as rule, to plant, even though it was late. Cultivation and harvesting wheat, oats and curing hay have thus far been fairly successful.
 With our present knowledge it seems that conditions in the South west have never been as favorable for livestock raising since the days of free ranges as they are now. Pas lures have held up remarkably we'll, early crops have been available for feeding and livestock are now in most excellent condition.
 With large crops of oats, wheat and hay and flattering prospects for a bumper corn crop" we are favorably situated for raising and feeding live stock.
 It would indeed be misfortune to sell the surplus oats, corn, alfalfa and other hay and forage crops and thus remove fertilizing constituents from these crops from our farms. To feed our crops on our farms would mean millions of dollars more in finished products and in fertilizing constitu- ents for our farms.
 Now is the time to secure the ami mals desired to consume the surplus feed. The supply of feeders will be limited and perhaps many who have surplus feed will not be successful ir getting the animals. Then the best way will be to secure breeding ami mals and raise young stock Every manager, even though he has small farm, should raise pigs enough tc supply his family table with meat and perhaps a few for sale. Enough calves should be raised to replenish the dairy herd and maintain enough cows to supply the family with milk

HOW MUCH LAND

The ordinary farmer is firmly con- vinced that it is impossible to make a living on less than 80 or 100 acres of land. There are many who are more extravagant in their notions. Just forty acres is out of the question and there is no use to try it. It depends much on what one calls living of course. but experience has demon strated that if living can be made at all it can be made on less land. The truth is that many farmers who have 16O to 200 acres of land make their real living on less than 40 acres of it. There is so much land in this country and heretofore it has been so cheap that we have the habit of spreading out and feel cramped if we do not have a 40 acre field for graz ing. similar field for corn and other grains and a cotton patch as big as all out of doors to say nothing of the gar dens, sorghum and potato patches and other things.
 With the present prices of land and the present tendencies in farming we will have to learn concentration, di- versifcation and intensive culture Practice it on a small scale in your garden and you will learn that it is true economy and it pays.
