Curtis Johnson Of Rush City.
gave a good talk on enthusiasm.
but it was rather uncomfortable
to be sitting quietly out in the
open for over an hour listening
to a speech. However he put
lots Of enthusiasm into his talk
and brought home the lesson of
service to ones community
getting from it just what you
put into it. Much of his talk
was the same as that which he
delivered here about two years
ago and was therefore not new
to large part of the audience.
He touched briefly on the mean
ing and purpose of the day

Mr.. Johnson said there are
FIVE principal American charac-

part in the winning Of the World
War. They are: Enthusiasm,

is sometimes the cause of many live
stock losses in the early spring. The
green feed is sparse and contains so
small an amount of food substance
that it is necessary for an animal to
travel great distances to gather daily
approximately IS pounds of succulent
LEAKAGE, which is an equivalent to 16
pounds of dry hay.
When the difference in yield and nu-
trutive value of the forage, in favor
of the less-frequently grazed areas, is
taken into account, it is clear that fire.
Quent cropping is an extravagant and
wasteful practice. Furthermore, about
50 per cent of a bunch-grass cover
harvested four times in a season is
killed out at the end of the third
year, thus subjecting the soil to vary
ing degrees of depletion through
erosion.

CHAPTER II.

Shortly after nine o'clock, Whisper
foot encountered his first herd of deer
But they caught his scent and scat
tered before he could get up to them.
He met Woof, grunting through the
underbrush, and he punctilIously, but
with wretched spirit, left the TRAIL A
fight with Woof the bear was one of
the most unpleasant experiences that
could be imagined. He had a pair of
strong arms of which one embrace of
a cougars body meant death in one
long Shrek of pain. OF course they
didn't fight often. They had entirely
opposite interests. The bear was a
berry-eater and a honey-grubber, and
the cougar cared too much for his own
life and beauty to tackle Woof in a
hunting way.
A fawn Ieaped from the thicket in
front Of him, startled by his sound in
the thicket. The truth was, Whisper
foot had made a wholly uniustified
misstep on a dry twig, just at the
crucial moment. Perhaps it was the
fault of Woof, whose presence had
driven WhisperfoOt from the trail,
and perhaps because old age and stiff
ness was coming upon him. But
neither of these facts appeased his
anger. He could scarcely suppress a
snarl of fury and disappointment.
He continued along the ridge, still
stealing, still alert, but his anger in
creasing with every moment. The fact
that he had to leave the trail again to
permit still another animal to pass,
and a particularly insignificant one
too, didn't make him feel any better
This animal had a number of curious
stripes along his back, and usually did
nothing more desperate than steal
eggs and eat bird fledglings. Whisper
foot could have crushed him with one
bite, but this was one thing that the
great cat, as long as he lived, would

never try to do. He got out Of the
way politely when StrIpe-back was
still a quarter of mile away; which
was quite compliment to the little
animals ability to introduce himself.
Stripe-back was familiarly known as
a skunk.
Shortly after ten, the mountain lion
had a remarkably fine chance at a
buck. The direction of the wind, the
trees, the thickets and the light were
all in his favor. It was old Blacktail,
wallowing in the salt lick; and Whis-
perfoots heart bounded when he de-
tected him. No human hunter could
have laid his plans with greater care,
He had to cut up the side Of the ridge,
mindful of the wind Then there was
a long dense thicket in which he
might approach within fifty feet of
the lick, still with the wind in his
face. Just beside the lick was another
deep thicket, from which he could
make his leap.
His body lowered. The tail lashed
back and forth, and now it had begun
to have a slight vertical motion that
frontiersmen have learned to watch
for. He placed every paw with con-
summate grace, and few sets Of hui
mau nerves have sufficient control
over leg muscles to move with such
astonishing patience. He scarcely
seemed to move at all.
But when scarcely ten feet re
mained to stalk, a sudden sound
pricked through the darkness. It came
from afar, but it was no less terrible
II was really two sounds, so close TO
gether that they sounded as one
Neither Blacktail nor WhisperfOot
had any deiusions about them. They

NPrepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Range depletion is due in a large
measure to premature grazing and to
lack Of uniform utilization of the for
age crop, investigations now being car
ried on at the Great Basin experiment
station by grazing specialists in the
forest service of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture show. These
experiments, which have been con-
Quoted over a four-year period, have
been for the purpose Of ascertaining
just how certain range bunch grasses
are affected by different systems Of
grazing.
1t was found that the yield Of violet
wheat grass when removed by cutting
once in season, at the time the seed
crop matured, was four and two
tenths times as large as when it was
removed four times in a season and
three and eight-tenths times as large
as when herbage was removed twice
in the season.
Native bronze grass, on the other
hand, yielded six times as much when
harvested twice during the season,
but the yield from one cutting was
three and three -tenths times as much as
when it was removed four times. This
means in range revegetation that the
grass native there must be taken into
consideration and system of grazing
used that Is suitable to it.
The experiments also showed the
striking difference in water content
in herbage as the season advances. In
the LEAKAGE of the violet wheat grass
harvested once in a season, just before
seed maturity, the water content aver
aged Al per cent. Plants grazed twice,
late in the season, contained an aver
age moisture content Of 81 per cent,
while plants cropped four times in a
season contained an average Of 79
per cent of water. Early in the spring
the young LEAKAGE may contain as
much as So per cent Of water. This

DEEMER PLANT
MAKES IMPROVEMENT
EREcTS CRANE IT MILL AND PLANS TO
RENEW OPERATIONS.

The New Deemer Manufacturing
Company has been making many re-
pairs on It's plant since the mill was
shut down several months ago.
Much OF the machinery Is being over
hauled, and some changes are being
made that will facilitate the opera
tion OF the plant when 1t starts up.
Logging the mill has been very
serious handicap In the past. To
overcome this difficuItya huge crane
has been erected at the log conveyor.
This crane has a wide sweep and
will be used fnr unloading and stack
ing logs. The pond has not been
utilized in late years, but will be
used along with the crane to hold
surplus logs. By using the pond, and
piling logs at the mill, it is believed
that sufficient logs can be kept on
hand to keep the mill operating
when bad weather checks woods
operations.
The plant superintendent, Mr.. M.
A. Lagrone, is on the job, and Mr..
H. HI. Bates, General Manager OF
the Company is planning to put the
mill into operation in about one
month.
