CATTLE SHRINK IN TRANSIT
Owner Loses Considerable by Not
Taking Proper Precautions In
Shipping Live Stock.

Investigations by the Colorado agri-
cultural college are beginning to show
that shrlnkage of live stock when
shipped to market can be greatly re-
duced. The most important thing is
a comfortable car and not much crowd
ing. The next thing is to have the
animals well fed and contented when
they are loaded and until they are
sold at the terminal market. In other
words. plenty of feed and water ard
comfortable quarters are most lmpor-
tant.
'Solne farmers" says r. W. Clark.
live stock specialist for that lnstitu-
ton, ship regularly with little or no
shrinkage while others at all times
have enormous shrinkage."

AT least two kinds of weather will

that care must be taken to minimize

In general way, say the specialists
of the department, there are three
kinds of dogs-the owneress dog, the
other persons dog, and your own dog.
The stray dog which recognizes no
owner, they say, does not fit Into the
modern scheme of civilization and
must be eliminated. A dog that Is
allowed by the owner to wander at
large will have substantially the same
habits of life, the same sort of food,
and be practically as dangerous as the
ownerless dog. You have the right
to insist, they point out, that such
dogs keep off your premises.
Your own dog should be handled
In such way as best to further the
welfare Of the dog and the community.
He should be kept in restraint and
not allowed the full freedom Of the
house or even of the outside premises.
He should not be allowed to be fami-
liar with people, and especially with
children. The dog should be kept
free from external parasites by fire.

Gardner and Morrison Confident.

Both o. Max Gardner and Cameron,
Morrison, leading candidates In the
race for governor were in Raleigh and
held long conferences with their man
ayers and friends in Raleigh, relative
to the work for the second primary.
Lieutenant Governor Gardner stamp
ed as false the suggestion that he had
an idea of dropping out OF the con
test He believes the official count
will show him in the lead and believes
tht he has an even chance OF getting
a majority OF the votes cast in the last
primary for Mr. Page. In fact he has
already had the assurance Of u large
number of the leaders in the Page
campaign, saying that they intend to
vote for him on the second round.
Both of the candidates were hoping
that the returns would be officially
tabulated by this time, but understood
it was mighty big job and conse-
quently would take time. Morrison
was just as confident OF being the next
governor OF North Carolina as as the
Shelby man. He believes he will lead
in the first primary, but Is not worry
ing a great deal about that for few
hundred difference In the number Of
votes does not matter one way or an!
other, What he is thinking about now
is the second primary on July 8.
And unless present indications 90
awry the campaign between now and
primary day is going to be every bit
as hot as the weather, II not more so.
Neither Morrison or Gardner like the
campaign tactics Of the other and
after the first speech or so next week
there will be a lot to read about.
