COW, according to the preponderance
of either species in its blood.
From these animals are produced
the true catalo, the animal that has
both species on both sides. When the
true catalo appears, it becomes q type
which combines the characteristics or
both lines of ancestry and Is quite
distinctive. It has heavier coat than
the domestic animal, carries q larger
hump and bigger hind quarters than
the buffalo and-what is still more i'm
portant-carries approximately $50
pounds more of edible meat than the
ordinary beef animal.
Knowing that the great secret OF
producing larger quantity OF meat
lay in the hump Of the buffalo, the
first care Of the breeders Of the cata-
10 was to transfer this hump to tha
back OF the new hybrid animal In
stead of being huge lump OF fat, the
hump Of the catalo forms the uppeS
cut of a rib roast of beef. It ii
tender, clear meat Of excellent flavor,
scarcely distinguishable from that OF
the ordinary beef cattle. The great
value Of the catalo as a meat animal
is that 20 per cent Of his weight can
be sent to the table.
AS the situation stands today, the
problem of the catalo is not one OF
the mechanics Of breeding. That
has all been done and now it is SIM
ply a matter of selection. The rule
has been established that If an animal
is one-eighth buffalo it can produce
fertile bulls. Therefore the best Of
the hybrids are all being used for
the purpose Of propagating better ami
mails and the others are being used
for meat. Already carcasses have
been sent to the slaughter houses.
Time alone is necessary to estab-
lish a race which will make produc-
tive vast areas that are good for little
else. On these almost arid plains
grazing is too thin and water too
scarce to allow the better grade Of
beef animals to exist, but the catalQ,
If left to itself, will thrive and gain In
weight. The range animal Of the past
has been responsible for tough. fibrous
meat-too often diseased. The range
animal Of buffalo strain IL hardy
enough to resist disease and win pro-
duce clear-nbered meat that never gets
tough. Before many years 1t IL like
ly. according to Mr.. Borthwick's view,
that the problem Of our meat supply
will be solved by the blending Of tho
American bison blood with that Of the
beef animal that for q century has
formed the main food dependence OF
the people of this continent.

animal washed with warm water and
soap. This treatment is desirable FOR
cats and will prevent the skin Of the
most delicate animal from being
burned Finely pulverized moth balls
worked into the fur OF the cat are
also useful. The naphthalene IN the
moth balls drives the fleas out OF the
hair. They emerge in a stupehed con-
dition and can then easily be killed.
Insect powder, sometimes called py-
rethrum, buhach or Dalmatian insect
powder, may be used in the same way.
Fresh, unadulterated pyrethrum is

OF the
This FveEshths Buffalo TheeEiehths Hereford

The Spanish edition Of the Pan
American Union Bulletin reviews Mr..
Borthwick's article on the "Catalo"
In the Forecast. The following Eng
fish version gives the salient fea-
lures:
1t seems that a new species Of the
genus Dos has been evolved in the
United States and Canada. AS is well
known, the American bison, or buffalo,
has become almost extinct, only few
small herds, nearly all to be found in
captivity in geological gardens, being
left to propagate tho species. The
eatalo, the name given the new spe-
cies, Is a cross between the buffalo
and the domestic COW, and according
to an article by Mr.. Benton Berth
wick In a recent number Of the Fore
cast published In Philadelphia, Pa,
much may be expected from 1t as a
meat producer. He states that I'M
like most hybrids, which proverbially
inherit the worst qualities belonging
to both parental strains, the catalo
seems to have selected and combined
in himself the most useful qualities OF
both buffalo and COW. He is so hardy
that he can live on pastures that
would afford poor sustenance for even
sheep, and his meat is equal to the
best beef, to which has been super
added the tender luscious hump that
made the wild buffalo so eagerly
sought by the huntsmen of the plains.
1t was the extreme desirability of
this hump, combined with the value
of his shaggy hide, that helped to
bring about the practical extinction
OF the American buffalo. The Indians
appreciated both, but they lived in
peace and aIaity with the buffalo and
left enough Of them to insure an in
exhaustible supply OF meat and tepees
for future years. The white mans
appreciation was equally keen, but.
like the Indian, the buffalo was in
his way. He wanted the plains for
his cattle to range over and he did
not approve Of the cattle associating
with the buffaloes. Therefore the buff
faloes were gradually exterminated.
Even in the early days there were
some far-seeing individuals who dimly
saw the possibilities Of an animal
which would be a blend Of buffalo and
COW, SO a number of breeders tried to
establish a species of cattle carrying
the buffalo strain, and the expert
ments began as far back as the first
invasion of the western plains by
~vrh; h,tt oil pya fpilod
Even down to the present day there
are but two breeders who have sue
ceeded in establishing this new bovine
strain, one in Texas and the other in
Canada.
The important fact remains, how
ever. that the new species. has really
been established and there are now
sufficient number Of cataloes, &C
cording to Mr.. Borthwick, to make 1t
safe to prophesy that the new ami
NAL will play leading part in the
future food supply Of the United
States.
Unlike the mule, this hybrid is able
to perpetuate its own species without
reverting to type. So far as is known,
no males have ever been born from
this first cross. The heifers resulting
from the first cross are bred either
to domestic or buffalo bulls, so that
the second generation is either three
quarters or one-quarter buffalo, as the
case may be. In this second genera
ton the animal resembles very closely
either the buffalo or the domestic

sufficiently accurate method of max
ing such a solution is to add four
tablespoonfuls of creolin to each gal

used and the animal placed in a tub
with the solution in it. A stiff brush
should then be used to work the solu-
ton into the hair, particular care be-

1t Is a well-known fact that certain
kinds OF feas are responsible for the
spread of the bubonic plague. and this
alone would make their destruction a
universal duty. They are. however.
responSible for other diseases as we'll

from their share in spreading conta-
