Fortune in Graveyard

Ivory is one of the most valuable
products of animal life, used for in
Vulnerable necessary articles by both
civilized and uncivilized peoples, but
only a small part Of 1t Is ever turned
to use. Few Of the elephants that
have the best ivory tusks are ever
killed or taken. And there are laws
now that prohibit the staying Of these
beasts merely for their ivory. But
where do all the dead elephants 90?
Very few are found who died q nat
ural death, and the reason for this is
that whenever an elephant feels old
age and death coming upon him he
starts on a trip to the ''burying
ground" of his species. BE usually
leaves In plenty of time to live until
he arrives there. And there, surround
ed by the countless skeletons Of ele-
plants before him, he lies down to die.
It is asserted by scientists and hunt
ers that the man who comes across
this cemetery of elephants will hnd
much wealth In the tusks that lie
with the bones Of ages Of elephants.

Myssery in Letsss 'sO"
Found in WindsoE Castls

High up on the wall, near the Nor
man gate, at Windsor castle. il 4 stone
upon which is engraved the letter TO-"
The letter is about Ave inches In
diameter, and deeply cut in the hard
stone. How did 1t come there and for
what does 1t standf
Tradition says that 1t records the
height Of Oliver Cromwell's giant por-
ter, who was stationed at the gate
house to keep away intruders. Seeing
that the letter is eleven feet from the
ground. this was "tall" statemsnt and
even when 1t is explained that the road
way has been lowered. 1t leaves one
with the impression that this Round
head" must have been giant, indeed.
The probable explanation Is that this
huge fellow, having little else to do
but parade up and down, passed his
spare time in carving the initial letter
Of his masters name.
This gigantic porter was a great
character, and frequently preached in
the parish church Of Windsor, much to
the annoyance Of the incumbent, who,
IN those, days had to keep q still
tongue in his head. The strange thing
is that this servant Of Cromwell kept
his. position at the Restoration and.
cufiously enough for a man Of his re-
ligious Bcruples, treated a. one Of his
most treasured possessions large b.

TWO MPoRrANT PRoH1uu
FACE RANGE oATTLMlRN

The two important problems Of the
native range territory of the west are
the increasing Of the stock carrying
capacity Of the ranges and the selec.
tion of the cheapest and best methods
of wintering the stock. Each separate
section of the country has its own
specific problems.
The native range lands Of the United
States lie west of the Tooth meridian.
These regions are designated as the
Great Plains, Rocky Mountains, Great
Basin, South West, and Pacific Coast.
Colorado is part of the Great Plains
and Rocky Mountain regions.
Eastern Colorado west to the foot
hills of the Rockies is part Of the
Great Plains. 1t is generally level with
gradual slope to the east. In this
region grazing is still an important in
dustry although the amount Of dryland
farming and irrigation is increasing.
In many sections cultivated plants fire.
quently fail because Of limited rain
fall, low air humidity, drying winds
and high evaporation. Adverse climat-
ic conditions may affect the native
grasses temporarily but they do not
exterminate them. The soil Of the
Great Plains region is generally good
and it affords excellent grazing. Due
to the distance to water and the mad
equate water supply this region is not
fully stocked. In order to increase the
amount Of grazing the facilities for
furnishing water must be increased,
the methods Of handling the stock
should be improved, and the present
winter feeds should be supplemented.
Colorado is also part of the Rocky
Mountain region. This is composed Of
valley and basin land varying in eleva-
tion from 5000 to 1000 feet and noun
tain ranges from 5000 to $4,000 feet
high. This region is usually well wa
tered but often has q short growing
season, due to its high elevation. . The
soil is generally good. The native for
age is Il superior character, hstng
choice and tender, and the grazing OF
livestock is the chief agricultural pur-
suit. The long continuous and cold
winters necessitate long winter feed
