of Orange went automobiling with his

over the Second mountain drove into q
dirt road SO that his wife and two chill

the car under large oak tree and

Half an hour later Mrs. Morrison and
her two children returned to the car for
the return trip. Coiled up on the front
seat was a large copperhead snake.
The mother and children, dropping the
towers, ran away screaming.
Mr.. Morrison returned to the car and,

pushed it back to the macadam road of
Eagle Rock avenue. Getting stout
club from the woods. he swung at the

the car a push. and down the hill it
went.
The grade was very steep, and the
automobile ran through a wooden fence
into the farm Of Jacob Miller, striking
a calf, killing couple of chickens and
finally hating after it had torn away
part OF Miller's back porch. BY this
time there was not much left of the
car, and Mr.. Morrison, with his wife
and two children, walked four miles
home. The snake escaped. r.

TO FEED WORLD ON
3oo.o00,0o0 ACRES
United States to- Become Cal.
tie Raising Center.

Chicago.-One Of the results of the
European war will be great increase in
American output of horses and cattle.
This country will become the meat pro-
ducing spot Of the world. The annual
output Of 1O,794,OOO head will probably
be increased from 20 to 5O"per cent.
Reports from Europe have shown
that the destruction Of live stock due
to the war is beyond all present reali-
cation. All the countries have been
chary about emitting statistical infor-
nation concerning it because they are
trying to maintain an air Of calm and
confidence about their food supplies.
But the truth is getting out, and it is,
in brief, that Europe will be impover-
ished In regard to live stock supplies
sooner than in almost any other eco
nomic direction.
Two chief results are already begin
ming to be perceived. One, and the OBJ.
vious one, Is that all the world will
need meat from the United States as
never before. * ...-.-.- . r.. T.
The other is that the United States
Will change places with Europe in re-
gard to supplying the finest breeding
stock. The magnificent breeding stock
Of Holland, Belgium, Great Britain,
France-cattle and horses, alike-are
being sacrificed to the war, and it is
freely predicted that after the war
American breeders will be called upon
to export fine animals in large numbers
to countries from which in the past
they have been wont to import.
Europe is the greatest live stock
country in the world, taken as whole.
Its supplies are vastly larger than
those of the United States, of South
America or any other of what are com
monty thought of as the stock raising
regions. But Europe, because of it's i'm.
mense population, still has deficiency
that must be made up by importations,
and so its place as stock growing
continent is not rightly understood.
The greatest Of the stock raising ter
ritories are involved in the war. They
are killing off first their horses, de-
stroying them in battle and the deadly
transport service and also making it
impossible to raise the annual crop of
colts. Thus the loss is really double
one.
For long time the capacity of the
western ranges for producing and
maintaining stock has been growing
less. As result government statistics
show reduction of the number of cat
tie In seventeen western range states in
period of four years from 100000
to 23,OOO,OOO and Of the number of
sheep from 100000 to $4,000, 900.
The range has been overfed in some
sections until great areas of it are be-
coming well nigh denuded Of grass and
actually tending to reyersion to desert
conditions.
