in the national forests where improv-
ed methods and regulation have In
creased the capacity of many ranges
from fifteen to thirty per cent. This
process should continue for at least
ten years more and should result in
building up the carrying capacity Of
the national forests as whole by
perhaps fifteen per cent.
II similar control could be eXercis-
ed over the public domain outside Of
the forests, 1t is estimated that the
capacity Of these ranges could be in
creased about thirty per cent. About
hall OF this would result from the
Improvement in the range Itself after
over-stocking and premature grazing
were prevented and natural reseed-
ing facilitated. The remainder would
follow water development, the con-
struCtion of fences and the introduce
ton Of methods OF handling stock
which are out of the question as long
as the improvement Of conditions on
the range merely provides an incen-
tive for new men to crowd in and undo
by oVer-stOcking whatever good has
been Accomplishment The carrying
capacity of these ranges has greatly
diminished in the past snd under the
present system there is no reason for
supposing that it will increase in the
future.
Other factors, though Of less i'm
portance, that should tend to increase
the future production of live stock
are greater economy in the use Of
forage both on the range and on the
farm, the use of more and higher
grade bulls and better management
Of the breeding animals through the
year. The last two, 1t is said, offer
the possibility Of increasing the calf
crop five or ten per cent and the aver
age weight Of two-year-old steer
perhaps thirty pounds.
Where winter feeding is practiced
1t is believed that a yearlng steer
will cost approximately $50 and a
long" two-year-Old $45. In the
range sections of the southwest, on
the other hand, the costs may be csti-
mated at from SIS to $40 for year
ling and from $40 to S25 for a two
year-old. With sheep there is a sim
liar variation. In California the cost
Of producing a lamb is placed at
$l.55, in the southwest at Sill and
in the northwest at $1.S2. In consid-
ering these figures it must be remem-
bered that they all may be material
ly altered by increasing or diminish
ing the percentages of births in the
herds and hocks. Better methods, it
is pointed out, will almost certainly
increase the calf and lamb crops and
in this way reduce the cost of produc-
ton per head.
Profits Greater.
In estimating these costs the inves-
tigators charged against the stock the
market value, in the vicinity, OF all
the feed consumed In this way the
necessity of considering the money in
vested in land and equipment was ELI
mated but, on the other hand, allow
ing the stock owner a profit on the
feed increases somewhat the estimat-
ed cost Of producing animals. AS the
owner might not get his profit on the
feed if he did not raise stock to util-
ize it, the actual profits in stock rails
ing are probably somewhat greater
than the difference between the mar
ket price of the animals and the re-
ports estimates Of the cost of pro-
duction,

War Preferable to Situation in
Mexico, He Says in Oyster
Bay Speech.

/ OYSTER BAY, July 8.-(SpeciaD-
Colonel Roosevelt Tuesday broke the
silence he has maintained since he an
nounced, after the Chicago convention,
that he was out Of politics. He said
war with Mexico was preferable to
The present situation in the southern
Republic. And then he promised, amid
Ehe cheers OF 5000 townsmen, that If
war comes he will give the unmarried
nen Of Oyster Bay chance to Join
his volunteers.
The colonel was literally forced to
make speech. After a long struggle

CUTS SONS HAND TO
KEEP HIM FROM PLAY.
Lad Preferred to Shoot Marbles
to Washing Dishes and
Doing Other Chores.

NEW YORK, July S.-Anton Skrivan,
Of University City, a baker, admitted,
says the World, he had cut deep cash
between the first and second fingers on
the right hand Of his son, John, twelve
years old, to prevent him from playing
marbles.
The father was arrested by Chief OF
Police John Willmann, OF University
City, and on information charging fell
oniously wounding was issued by As
sistant Prosecuting Attorney f. W.
Brooks, OF Clayton.
He was returned to University City
and a warrant issued against him.
The cut was three-quarters of an
inch long. The boy tied up his hand
and went to the Bartner school. where
he is a pupil. The boy neglected to
wash the dishes so as to play, the
father said.

Free TradA Not Dead.
Free trade allegiance in Britain is
by no means dead, although the war
has dealt it body blow. The Man
chester Guardian, the Westminster
Gazette, and the Economist, all infu-
entail journals, remain loyal. The
Spectator, once the citadel Of extreme
free trade, has undergone some revis-
ion OF details of its creed. The edi-
tor, Mr.. st I.oe Strachey, now con-
cedes-with most free traders Of this
transition period-that a nation must
preserve those Industries necessary
to its existence in time Of war, even
if measures of artificial respiration
are necessary to sustain their breath
during normal times. There is much
discussion OF key" industries, term
which has become a sort Of watch
word in the new economic debate.

tation for transferring the hosulities

sents the figures to prove that Ger

Westminster Gazette follows the same
line saying: We do not realize that
the two processes are identical; we
think OF Germany trying in vain to

and OF Great Britain proudly refusing
to send its goods to Germany, though
begged to do so. We cannot prevent
German goods from coming to this

ADVISORY REPORT

The State Department Will
Make No Formal An
nouncement

Washington, d. C., July 1.-THE ad
yisory report OF the status of the German
submarine Deutschland which was sub
mitted to Acting Secretary Polk to-day
by the government neutrality board, IL
understood to hold that the vessel is a
peaceful merchant craft and entitled to
all the privileges as such.
The indications now are that the state
department will make no formal an
nonncement concerning the submarine
but that the treasury department will be
advised to permit her TO clear and sail
from Baltimore whenever the captain
desires to start on his return voyage TO
Germany.
Assistant Secretary Polk received the
neutrality boards report just before the
cabinet meeting. The board gave its ad-
vice after considering the reports of the
navy and customs officers, who made a
complete examination of the Deutschland
and concluded that it was not only un-
armed but could not be converted for war
purposes without extensive structural
changes.

QUARRYMAN C>wSsED
MUCH U,sxS 4SINESs
Joseph Marshall Was Com
mitted to State In
sane Asylum

Because he had caused no slight alarm
in the quarry district by brandishing a
revolver and acting strangely, Joseph
Marshall, a quaTyman OF Websterville,
was taken into custody yesterday after
noon, after he had fired two shots from
the revolver and last night was pro-
nounced insane, being then taken to tha
state insane asylum at Waterbury. He
was employed at the quarry of Boutwell,,
Milne & Varnum.
For some days the man had been CIV
ing uneasiness to many people by carry
ing a revolver but il was not until he
went to the postofiice with the weapon in
his hand and demanded his mail vester-
day afternoon that the authorities re-
solved to put him under restraint Miss
Mamie O'Hagan, the young lady in charge
of the postofiice at the time, was, of
course considerably alarmed when the
fellow put in his appearance. From the
postoffice the man went to a ball game
and after staying time began to cele-
brate by shooting the revolver. firing two
shots. He was trailed to the shack on
the old Scott quarry. where he had been
living alone of late, and was placed under
arrest by Deputy Sheriff Dennis Dona-
hue.
Marshall was then taken to the lookup
in East Barre, where Drs. n Z. Avery
and f. Fl. Bailey were called to make an
examina tion of the fellows mental eondi-
tion They reported that he seemed to
be rational on some subjects but would
wander off into delusion that he was
being prosecuted On the physicians rec.
the man was taken to the
state hospital, being accompanied there
last night by Deputy Donahue and Con-
stall bic James Cummings
Marshall came to the quarry region
last spring but prior to that time had
worked in various granite centers
New England. He originally
came from Canada. He is unmarried and,
as already stated, has been living alone
lately
