THE POTATO MARKET.

(From the st. Adams Messenger)
1.-THE government advises the American
people to eat more potatoes. We have an
abundance of the tubers, and they are too
bulky and too perishable for shipment
abroad In immense quantities. 1t Is not
necessary for the housewife to servo po-
tatoes in the usual mashed. fried. and
baked styles. A little study Of the cook
books will show how to prepare potatoes
in escalloped, creamed. salad. and other
forms in which they make succulent

There should be a greater volume of po-
tatoes released to the market by the farm
ers of Vermont Tho national department
Of agriculture has issued a warning that
the farmer will in all probability be de-
feating his own purpose-the obtaining of
a maximum profit-if he persists In hang
ing onto his stores until the spring. 1t
would be serious matter II the farmer
were to suffer a loss. even though II
should result from his own greed or short
sightedness, for the effect on production
next year would be bad. The people
should also be eating more potatoes, es-

STOCK-KILLING ANIMALS.


renee OF HaD1eS increases Danger.
A single wolf in Colorado took a toll of
nearly 5000 worth Of cattle in one year;
in Texas. two wolves killed 70 sheep valu-
cd at 80 each during period of two
weeks; in Oregon, four coyotes in two
nights killed Is purebred rams valued at
$40 each; and one bobcat in New Mexico
in one month killed SO lambs, one eve,
and one goat belonging to a single ranch.
man. These points are brought out in
the report on the work Of the Bureau of
department Of agriculture for the fiscal
year ended June 80. 1917.
The destruction Of such stock-killinE
animals has a direct bearing on the in
creased production and conservation of
the Nations food supply. Their control
means that stock and poultry raising can
be conducted with safety. and with this
in view the bureau employs q force OF
175 to 800 hunters and trappers who hunt
these animals. They accept no bounties
from any source, all skins Of animals
taken becoming the property Of the
Government. Last year the proceeds from
this source amounted to approximately
$36, 900.
During the year 3o.512 predatory ami
mails were taken, including $50 wolves.
bobcats, and GO bears. Bears are gen.
orally considered game animals and are
not molested by the predatory-animal
hunters except in cases Of individuals
known to have the habit Of killing stock.
In addition to the capture OF animals by
means of traps and shooting, extensive
poisoning campaigns were conducted. and
| 1t ia conservatively estimated that al
| least 5000 predatory animals were de-
stroyed in this manner.
| As a result Of this destruction Of stock
killing animals a large saving Of cattle
| sheep, goats, horses. swine. and poultry
has been effected in addition to reducing
greatly the danger to human life from
rabies. Stockmen have shown much in.
terest in the work and in numerous in
stances have contributed funds for CO.
operation. The States Of Nevada. Utah
and Washington are also cooperating
having appropriated substantial sums fol
| the purpose.
| The damage done by predatory animals
has been increased by the prevalence o.
| mong them of rabies. This disease
| spreads from the point of origin In Orc
| gon into the States Of Nevada. California
Idaho, and Utah. Cattle and sheep were
destroyed in large numbers and HUNDREDS
| of persons were bitten. AS result Of
| the campaign conducted by the bureau
| in cooperation with local authorities and
stockmen the spread of the disease has
been checked and conditions have been
greatly improved. II It believed that
| with a continuance Of the work com.
plete eradication Of this alarming disease
among the wild animals of the anecteo
States can be accomplished.
