Wild animals which prey upon live
stock are only good when dead"
Then they may serve a really useful
purpose, if their skins are properly
cured, tanned and made into fur gar
ments.
Predatory animals cause losses to
sheep herds in Utah and neighbOring
states of 10000 head annually. Be-
sides the fOOdstuffs thus destroyed,
this means a loss of about 100000
pounds of wool.
Two wolves at OzOna, Tex, killed
76 head of sheep in two weeks.
In New Mexico 3 per cent Of the
cattle are destroyed by predatory ami
mails. In addition to about 1880
head of cattle thus killed, the animals
destroy about 65,OOO sheep, a loss of
100000 pounds of meat and 1,320,-
600 pounds of wool. The total loss to
the state each year from this source
amounts to about $2,71j2j0.
States and livestock associations
are cooperating with the department
of agriculture in its campaign in the
Western states suffering the greatest
damage from predatory wild animals,
by liberal contributions of funds. as
well as services of additional hunters.
A biological survey hunter in ArizO-
ma recently killed a mountain lion, on
the trail of which were found nine
head of cattle it had killed.
One stOck-killing grizzly bear along
the PecOS river, in New Mexico, az
counted for $1,000 worth of cattle in
five months before being dispatched
hy hunter of the biological survey.
1t had killed 30 head of cattle in this
time, and in the previous year is re-
ported to have killed SO head in the
same district.

Under the above heading the Detroit
Free Press, among other things says:
''The theory is that soldiers whose feet

and bunions incased in rawhide."

men in training to shake Foot-Ease in
their shoes each morning.

George Bernard Shaw, the celebrat-

of magazine that made feature
of the portraits of beautiful women:
"Why don't you do an original thing
and print the portraits of beautiful
men? Here's mine"
In reply to the editors inquiry as to
whether he might not count on re-
ceiving a Shavian contribution by Il
certain date, Shaw wrote:
Il never engage to do anything that
must be done by certain date. The
things l simply had to do four years

over carefully before each feeding. If
any indications of ScOurs appear the

CONTROL THE STABLE FLY

Care in stacking straw at thrashlng
time preserves II for use as roughage
for live stock and for bedding and may
also prevent scourges Of biting flies,
known az stable flies. The Bureau OF
Entomology Of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture has shown
that most of the stable flies which
sometimes appear in great numbers,
breed in fermenting straw. The de-
partment urges that more attention
than usual be given TO caring for the
straw this season.
As only a small part Of the straw
produced in the grain belt can be
baled Immediately or placed under
cover to prevent weathering, straw
stacks should be built SO that they
will shed rain. One or two men should
spread the straw evenly over the
stack, tramp it, and keep the sides
straight. The blower should also be
! regulated TO obtain even distribution
Of the straw over the stack. The
stack should be finished by rounding
off the top and hauling away or
I spreading thinly any loose straw that
may be left around the base. Bang
/ the straw direct from the thrasher
saves time and prevents possible In
fury from weathering, but the expense
Of bailng is too great to justify It's
common use II the straw Ia baled
after stacking. any part which ID
spoiled should be spread as manure
or should be burned.
Stable flies prefer to breed In 0at
straw, but may breed in wheat, barley.
or rice straw. In nearly all serious
outbreaks it has been found that the
straw in which the flies bred was not
stacked properly and that 1t was
soaked by heavy rains which fell soon
after thrashing. In many cases the
stacks were wet completely through
and thus spoiled for feeding.
Stable flies also breed in horse ma
nure, especially in strawy manure, SO
that hauling the manure and spreading
1t on the fields before late summer
helps to reduce their number and pre-
vent annoyance to horses and cattle.
AS house flies also breed In manure.
hauling the manure from the stables
and yards aids in keeping down this
pest.
