SEEK PRESERVATION OF ELK
Nation Is Waking to the Danger of the
Extinction Of Animal In This
Country.

There are, according to estimates
made by the National Sportsmen,
about 100000 elk In this country, Of
which 1900 are in captivity in 125 diff
ferent places. The largest herd, num-
bering, according to the government
census. between 10000 and 5000, Is
in the Yellowstone region. In the
summer these elk range in the vicinity
of the continental divide In the park.
Since the settlement Of the valleys the
elk which are forced to descend from
the mountains in the winter in order
to obtain food have starved in large
numbers. Since 1900, winter feeding
has been provided by the state of
Wyoming and the federal government
and recently congress appropriated
$4,000 for the purchase Of 1000 acres
near Jackson, Wyo, where sufficient
hay can be raised each year to feed
the herds during the winter. During
late years the government has expert
mented with small herds numbering
about 100, which have been transferred
to 13 different states for the purpose
Of restocking reservations. In this
way 1t is hoped that wild elk can be
retained In this country permanently.
The Adirondack herd was rapidly ap-
preaching extinction when the govern
ment and the state of New York took
hand. 1t is believed that after the
fate Of the buffalo many states will at
tempt to encourage the propagation of
elk in country which is unfit for farm
ing.

ALFALFA GOOD FORAGE CROP
Especially Adapted for Sand.Hills
Country, Because 1t Prevents
Danger Of Soil Blowing.

Alfalfa can be grown in most sec
tions of the sand-hills country, Nebras-
ka, according to work done at the VAL
entine substation, and it is recommend
ed that where possible 1t should be
made to take the place of intertilled
forage crops, because it would do away
with the danger of soil blowing. 1t is
also of mere value than any other for
age crop that can be grown.
Experiments have shown that for
that section of country alfalfa exceeds
all clovers, including sweet clover. in
its adaptability to the conditions
found there, and that it is more valu-
able than any Of them and costs less
to seed.

TO Determine AGE OF CALF
Expert Of Colorado Agricultural COL
Iepe Tells Of Method by Look
ino at Ineisors.

You may want to buy calves at auc-
ton, and you may want to know about
how old they are. Here's the way G. E.
Marion of the Colorado Agricultural
college has it figured out:
"The calf when born has two pairs
of incisors, the. other two pairs appear
during the first month. When n calf is
eighteen months old, 1t loses the mid
die pair of milk incisors, and grows n
permanent pair. The next pair, one
on each side, is replaced at twenty
seven months of age, the third pair at
thirty-six months, the fourth or out
side pair at forty-five months. The
time of appearance of these incisors
varies within rather narrow limits, so
that we are able to tell the age Of
young cattle fairly accurately.
1.-THE calf also has temporary set
of molars. which are later replaced
with permanent ones, but they are
not considered in estimating the age
of the animal"

PROFIT IN WINDFALLSI
Money Made by Turning Apples
Into Sweet Cider.
Large Amount Sold to Tourists
Ground in Orchard Kept Clean and
No Waste-FruIt Hand-Pieked
and Graded Into Sizes.

One Of the most common sights in
the country during the summer
months. is the large quantity of wind
fall apples lying under the trees on
many prosperous looking farms. Hav-
ing purchased place with large
orchard. I was determined to eliminate
this waste, If possible, says a writer
In an exchange. When the first apples
began to fall, the trees were gently
shaken, the apples washed, and run
through a small mill.
Two signs, tackled at either boun-
dairy line of the place facing the road,
advertised In large letters, good cider.
1t was amazing the number of gallons
we sold to passing tourists who
stopped to get glass, and generally
wound up by taking gallon with
them.
In this manner the ground was
kept clean Of apples and there was
no waste. About two weeks later we
began to hand-pick, grading the fruit
into two sizes. All fruit available
was removed. Owing to the enormous
crop, the price of apples was very
low. The neighbors were selling fruit
for 25 cents a bushel, and glad to get
1t, while our apples brought 65 cents
at the grocery store.
Many more bushels were sold in
the same manner as the cider, the
signs this time announcing both the
sale Of cooking and eating apples.
AS the orchard was an old one
when purchased, some of the trees
were very large and the apples diff
cult to reach. These We're the last
to be disposed of, being shaken off
and converted into cider which was
sold at the fancy price of so cents a
gallon. An advertisement placed In
the daily paper, suggesting the use of
the cider for Halloween parties,
brought splendid results, and hand.
some profit was realized.
The above method ought to prove
profitable to anyone living on a main
road. Every apple ought to make O
showing on the cash exchequer.

minutes means statistics, and how

be boiled down. It's got to be pre-

no legislative body will turn a deaf
