LOSSES DOWN TO MINIMUM
Warfare Mortality Statistics Should
Give Comfort to Those With
Loved Ones at the Front.


Great as the danger and large as
the losses in the aggregate. the indi-
vidual soldier has plenty of chances
of coming out of the war u~nscathed,
OF ut least not badly injured.
Based On the mortality statistics of
the allied armies, u soldiers chances
are as follows:
Twenty-nine chances of coming
home to one chance OF being killed.
Forty-nine chances of recovering
from wounds to one chance of dying
from them.
One chance in 500 of losing a limb,

of physical training. is freer from dis
ease In the army than In civil life,
end has better medical care at the
front than at home.
In other wars from ten to IS men
died from disease to one from bullets
In this war one man dies from dis
ease to every ten from bullets.
For those of our fighting men who
do not escape scathless, the govern
men under the soldier and sailor in
surance law gives protection to the
wounded and their dependents and to
the families and dependents of those
who make the supreme sacrifice for
their country.

BY the addition of a little cottonseed
meal with ground yucca a fairly well
balanced ration is made. BY using this
feed without waste In dry seasons only
a fair crop will always be available.
If 1t Is used properly and due regard
given to conserving the present sup
ply, thousands of cattle may be saved
during the drought season to add to
the nations meat supply.
There are a score or more species of
yucca. Sotol has been utilized as
stock feed for s0TIe years. but only re-
gently have soapweed and bear grass,
two other forms which grow abundant
ly. been utilized in this way. Both of
the latter are we'll adapted for feed,
but because the food material is found
mainly in the tpee-like trunk Ii is nee
essary that they be ground or chop
ped finely before stock can eat them.
The machines used for cutting
yucca have heavy cylinders carrying
teeth or knives that rotate before a
chopping block to which the plants are
fed. One of the larger machines run
by a II or 14-horse power engine with
a crew of ID men will chop or shred
about two tons Of soapweed an hour.
If fed alone this feed may be expect
ed to keep stock from starving; If fed
with concentrates a properly balanced
ration may be worked out. The GUS
tomary practice among users of this
feed Is to give young stock six to
twelve pounds per day with one-half
to three-fourths Of a pound of cotton
seed cake or meal. Mature stock are
given 20 to 40 pounds and one to two
pounds of the ~cottonseed concentrate
daily. Fifteen to twenty-five pounds
per day fed alone viii save stock from
dying. Practically the only cost In
using this feed is In It's preparation.
and 1t Is estimated that when 20
pounds is fed per day this cost
amounts to only 30 cents per month.
Yucca should be regarded as an
emergency feed only. the specialists
say. 1t makes q very slow growth and
only two species-soapweed and bear
grass-may be expected to renew
themselves If cut off. The bear grass
Of the New Mexico-Texas plains re-
gion will produce a new crop in three
or four years, while soapweed requires
from ten to fifteen years.

The desert plant locally known as
%soapweed, the feeding value Of which
has previously been overlooked, can be
utilized as an emergency drought-time
feed for Southwestern stockmen.
Its scientific name is yucca. While
this plant is not high in nutritive value
nor suitable for feed until II has been
properly ground, the specialists of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture have found that In seasons Of
drought. when range grasses and other
sources OF feed fail, it can be used to
save cattle and sheep from starving.

with the brush. All leaf sheaths, or
boots. should be removed as the heads
are cut. The knife should be held
firmly with the cutting edge pointing
at an angle from the body. If the
head Is then grasped with the other
hand and the stalk pulled against the
knife, instead Of forcing the knife
against the stalk. the stem Of the
brush will usually slip out Of the boot
as II is being GU from the stalk. As
the heads are cut they are laid In hand

be hauled to the curing shed and

The value of the brush of broom
corn depends largely upon the stage
or maturity when harvested. If the
brush Is harvested when too young the
nber is weak at the base of the head,
n when harvesting is delayed until
the brush is overripe the fiber becomes
hard and brittle. Good service can
not be expected from brooms made of
such brush.
The brush should be harvested when
1t has reached the stage where the nat
urai green color extends from the tip
OF the fiber to the base and center of
the head. This usually occurs from
the time when the flowers are falling
to the time the seed is in the milk or
thin-dough stage. Brush harvested In
this stage and properly cured, without
being damaged by the sun or wet
weather, is tough and flexible and Of
the best quality. Il
II Seed Crop Is Desired.
III a seed crop is desired the brush
is not harvested until the seed is fully
mature. The value of ripe brush de-
ponds largely upon the climatic condi-
lions previous to harvest and the care
given the brush after the seed is re-
moved. If seed brush is not discolored
by wet weather, bat has the natural
yellow color of mature brush, ii com
mands about half the price of good
brush If cared for In the same way.
Standard broom corn and dwarf
broom corn are harvested in different
ways. The standard is bent over or
tabled and the brush cut off; the
dwarf is jerked or pulled from the up
right stalk.
The standard varieties are so tall
that the stalks have to be bent over to
bring the brush within reach. This
process Is called tabling. The tabler
walks between two rows, bending or
breaking the stalks over, three or four
feet from the ground. The stalks of
the left-hand row are bent to the right
and those Of the right-hand row to the
left. This crosses the stalks of these
rows, so that a sort of table is formed
behind the tabler, the brush project
ing across the table into the spaces
between this pair of rows and the next
row on either side.
