Lions Arc Dangerous
Are mountain lions dangerous
and to what extent do they prey
upon livestock? Prospective home
steaders in New Mexico are wont
to ask this question. When it is
considered that there are less than
dozen professional lion hunters
in the state, who are more or less
isolated, one can appreciate that
reliable data Is very scarce, and
because of this, the interested pun
lie knows little about the real con-
ditions.

mails may be found in nearly all

tricts Of the state. The young are

NEW ICE PLANT
WILL Be BUILT
IN ALBUQUE ERQUE
Out of Town Men Buy Prop
erty at Second Street and
Marquette Avenue for
Location of Building

Incorporation papers for the Al
buquerque Ice company will be
filed Monday in the office of the
corporation commission at Santa
Fe, 1t was announced Saturday by
M. r. Buchanan, who said he
would be manager of the company.
He withheld the names Of the
other members of the company,
merely stating that they are out
of town men,"
The new ice plant will be located
at the southwest corner of Second
street and Marquette avenue, the
deal for the property having been
closed Saturday afternoon. The
building to be erected will be 90
by 95 feet in size. one story. The
plant will have a capacity Of fifty
tons daily. Cold storage facilities
may be added later, Mr.. Buchanan
stated, but for the present the
activities of the plant will be con-
fined to manufacturing ice.
Work on the building will be
started before January /, 1928, ac-
cbrding to Mr.. Buchanan. and the
plant will be turning out ice for
the spring and summer trade.
"The plant will be the latest
thing to be had in modern Ice
making equipment" Mr.. Buchanan
said.
Mr. Buchanan came here from
FL Paso. He at one time lived at
Silver City.
The ground on which the fac
tory will be located was purchased
from Ovidio Franchini.

erful, often attaining a length of
10 feet and a weight of $50
pounds. 1t is an established fact,
that unless they are backed to the
wall, they VIII not attack a human
| being.
Many yarns are circulated about
the dangers Of lion hunting, but
rarely the experienced hunters are
injured by the teeth or claws of
animals at bay. The greatest dan
ger is in trailing the dogs over
rough and unfamiliar country.
Mountain lions, pumas, cougars,
all belong to the same family; To-
cation and climatic conditions may
change the size and color of the
animal, and even its habits, but
it does not change the predominant
ing instinct of cunning nor the zest
for blood.
Sportsmen who revel in the
keen excitement OF the chase re-
port kills from time to time, but
professional hunters take a greater
toll of these killers in a mighty ef-
fort to protest and conserve live
stock.
ranchmen over $1,000 a year to
keep each adult lion! These fig
ures may seem astounding, but
they are nevertheless authentic.
Many Losses Hidden
Predatory animals are uncannily
shrewd and their raids on livestock
so clever. that many of the losses
are never discovered. Quite fire.
quently hunters find pieces of flesh
and bones of domestic animal
and other animals badly lacerated
in the battle for food and self
preservation. These sights of ruth
less killing are not easily forgot
ten and serve as an incentive for
the determination of all predatory
animals.
The larger predatory animals
will kill a sheep or COW, satisfy
their hunger and lust for blood,
then go on, seldom returning to
the carcass; coyotes and other
cavengers then feast on the re-
mains, dragging the bones about
and thus destroying the signs of
the killer.
LS''Io p4Ny upOi SOllS' uStTI tat
tie, turkeys, rabbits and numerous
other animals and birds, all OF
which they prefer freshly killed to
satisfy the desire for blood.
Kill Many Deer
Deer suffer more leenly from
the attacks of mountain lions than
any other game. Venison seems to
be a choice repast and the lion
takes it at will! Sometimes they
will endeavor to conceal the partly
eaten carcass Of deer or colt, but
usually satiate their appetite and
leave the remains for the scaven-
gers.

Thees, shrubs and perennial
vines can be transplanted any
time during the dormant period,
but under the New Mexico condi-
tions it Is usually safest to wait
until spring. When planted in the
fall or winter, there is liable to
be serious injury from drying out
before root development begins.
Plants are constantly giving off
moisture from their tissues in both
winter and summer. This mois-
ture is supplied by the roots of the
plants. Unless roots are develop
ed, very little moisture can be alb
sorbed by them. 1t is for this rea-
son that it is usually best in the
dry climates of the southwest to
delay planting until shortly before
the roots begin to develop in the
spring. Transplanting should be
done, however. before the plant
starts to grow.
If any fall planting is done.
Professor Garcia, of the New Mex
leo Agricultural college, advises
that the soil be kept moist during
the winter and spring. This will
help to prevent and winter injury
that might be done. Small shrubs
and grape vines, If planted in the
| fall should be heeled up with dirt
to protect them during the winter.
About four to six weeks before
growth starts in the spring the dirt
should be removed from around
the plants.
Regardless Of the time when it
Is done, trees, shrubs and vines
should always be pruned back be-
fore transplanting, The amount of
pruning depends on the size and
kind of plant.
A few bulletins secured from the
Agricultural college will make win
ter months both interesting and
| profitable.
Lice on Sattle
Does 1t pay to get rid OF lice on
| cattle? New Mexico stockmen who
have had experience with treating
cattle for lice are almost unani-
nous in their belief that it does.
| This Is especially true when feed Is
scarce, as it would hardly seem
economical to purchase high priced
| feeds to be fed to cattle whose vi
| tality is being reduced by these eX-
ternal parasites.
Mr.. A. L. Hamilton Of Quay
county states that yearlings that
we're dipped brought $6 a head
more than the untreated ones. He
| also reports that they shed earlier
and were in good physical condi-
tion long before the untreated
| herds had recovered from the win
ter's privation. Mr.. Gus Bracket
Of Colfax county, who has prac-
ticed dipping his herds since 1916,
says that he saves One-third on the
feed bill by eradicating lice and
putting his cattle into winter pas
| lures clean.
! over 10000 head Of cattle We're
| reported as having been dipped In
| five counties this year In spite of
the drought. This would indicate
an increased interest in lice erad-
ication. The arsenical solution is
the dip which is most often used,
and Is the one recommended by
| DIR. Johnson, of the New Mexico
| Agricultural college, as a very ef-
| ficient and economical agent in
eradicating lice. When ear ticks
are present, it is advisable to treat
the cattle with tar and oil at the
same time that the dipping is done.
Arsenical dip is made by using
=, 10 pounds of arsenous acid. 25
pounds of sal soda and two gallons
of pine tar for each 500 gallons of
dip. The sal soda should be dis
solved in water by boiling in an
iron kettle. Then the arsenic |
should be added and the solution

Pairings at a

There was never such another apple
year. Every orchard bowed earth-
ward with gay scented fruit, ciuer
flooded the cellars Of the countryside,
and young mountains Of apple barrels
lay snug beneath the trees. Naturally
the making of apple butter grew com.
monplace-much too usual to be turned
into festival, as happened sometimes
in scant years. Still the younger eie-
ment had its innings; pairing bees after
the old-fashiOn sprang up afrcsh, with
much laughter as parings were dropped
over the left shoulder to form initial
of the future partner. All those whose
sweethearts came In the letter s class

casting?-had curl ut each end that
In themselves automatically formed the

The JOrdans had the finest apples
and the prettiest girls round about.
Hence their bee, coming well toward
the end Of things, was merry. crowded
and mighty Industrious. The number
Of knives flying round and round
juicy red or yellow fruit was some
thing phenomenal. There was rivalry,
too, in the output, as well as in the
emptying Of the tubs that brought In
the fruit. Benny Jordan, belle Of the
neighborhoOd. had her hands full es-
Gaping all the partners who wanted to
team up with her. She took refuge
at last In making the team four square.
Thus there was more excitement In
the racing as well as more glory In
winning.
Benny did not want to beat every
body else. She was at once too cOur-
teous and too crafty for that. In her
own house she felt she must hold back
a bit. There were three other bees in
prospect. At them she could let her
fingers fly their nimblest. So she
took for her teammates the jenkins
