years old in the state, in reality did

reclamation OF millions Of acres of
land. Dry farming. upon which a
great part Of the state depends, has
been proven wholly profitable in
the eastern part of the state where
an abundance and varity Of grain

and the cool nights OF summer keep
livestock in fine condition. There
is q notable absence Of flies and
other bothersome insects, which
make life miserable for cattle in
many other districts.
The chief grass depended on by
stockmen is grama grass, a peculiar
growth common TO the Great Plains
and allied to mesquite and other
prairie grasses. During the rains
Of June aud July this grass will
grow TO a height of ten or twelve
inches. II will support cattle at
the rate of steer to about ten or
twelve acres in q normal season,
although It is safer to figure fifteen
acres to a steer for the year. In
the fall grama grass cures where II

How Dogs and Cats
Behave in Battle

- a rule, show great distress when
shells burst near them and howl pit
eously. On the other hand, they have
been known TO dash along the front OF
a trench during infantry FIRE. barking and
apparently enjoying the noise.
Cats do not care whether they are un-
der the fire OF heavy artillery OF machine
guns as long as they have a dry corner
and food when they are hungry.
There have been instances OF lost dogs
and cats actually yenturing into the Brit
ish trenches In France during an engage

near the nring-line-long since destroyed
and clung TO the remnants OF their
homes; others strayed long distance.
