the article. What about the cost of
shOeing the horses. deaths, veterinary
attention, taxes, etc. The cost of
shoeing a team Of horses in South
Bend is 81, and when working in the
city on paved streets it is necessary
10 have horses newly shod about every
three weeks. J. w. Vernon, the Well
known team owner. and Jerry Donovan
fix the average death of horses at one
to every 8 a year. \ VeterinaryS
charges are 81 and $50 a trip. There
is also the repairs on dump wagons,
which is no small bill in a year no
matter how much care is taken in
their use.
The cost of feeding team Of horses
averages 800 TO 1925 a day per team
not counting cost of man TO groom and
had out the feed, and maintenance Of
barns. The boarding stable charges
in South Bend is $17 TO $40 per month
per horse The depreciation on the
original investment in the aggregate
is closer to so per cent than 10 per

at from 50 to 1925 a day; the depre-
citation. veterinary charges insurance
shOeing, taxes. hoStler car, etc. which
will average not less than SOC per day
per team. gives the team owner a
profit of 75c a day for 1S5 days IN a

the city of South Bend?
The statement that the team owners
have been making d practice of hold

BAKER, Ore, March 30.-New
methods of protection from forest fire
damage planned by the Baker county
forest fire protective association for
the coming year include two fire
finders to be located at the Sparta
Butte and Black Mountain stations of
the association, new range stations
and equipment and additional tele-
phone lines to more thoroughly cover
the district. An assessment of per
cent per acre on all the land repre-
sented by the membership will pro
vide fund of over $4,000 for this
purpose.
The fire finder" is new device to
this section. 1t will locate forest
fire within a radius of approximately
80 miles. The officials of the Whit
man and Minam national forests are
cooperating with the association, as
they did last year when the protective
measures adopted kept the fire loss
down to the lowest figure for many
years.
