States Seek Data on
Amount of Game Killed

Minnesota and New York were pio-
neer states In inaugurating systems to
ascertain the amount Of game killed
each year. Today score or more Of
the state game departments are striv-
Ing to collect this important data. The
compilation of such data gives very
good idea of game conditions in the
different states. BY reading the tabu-
lated results from the census of game
killed you can also arrive at a pretty
accurate conclusion as to the efficiency
Of the game departments of these
states in years gone by.
From a Denver dispatch we learn
that 1t Is estimated that 600 deer were
killed in Colorado last year. In the
same paper comes a report from New
Jersey that $50 Virginia deer were
killed in that state the past season.
When you compare the areas of Colo
RADIO and New Jersey, when you think
Of the difference in density Of popula-
ton and also consider the amount of
territory in each suitable for deer, you
cannot help but realize that Colorado
has been negligent in the past In the
care of her game.

National Guard Growing
at Rate of I 800 q Month

AT the present time the National
Guard has an aggregate strength Of
10000 men, which Is increasing at
the rate Of 1900 month. In the win
ter months the increase Is slow, but
just prior to the training season this
increase is greatly augmented. BY
June 30, 1924, the bureau expects 49,
600 men to be enrolled in the guard,
and by June 80, 1925, 1t is expected the
National Guard will number 100000
men, and In 1925 average 10000.
A study reveals the fact that the 1925
estimate Of $3O,577, $40, which Is al
lowed by the budget bureau, Is not suf-
fcient to provide for the training and
activities of these 10000 men during
the fiscal year of 1925. Although only
an increase of $763,SOO for all National
Guard activities allowed by the budget
bureau over the 1924 appropriations,
the strength Of the National Guard
will be increased over this period by

tive forward deck looking guardedly
about.
There was no mistaking the somber
frock coat, neck stock and high hat
it was Caleb Hopkins. A moment he
stood listening at the door; glanced
around again in every direction, and
slipped over the side Of the housebOat
into the skiff.
AS he rowed up around the head of
the island and across the north chan
mel to shore, he passed within less than
fifty yards of where the woodsmap lay
concealed, his eyes hard and danger
Gus, his fingers betraying an almost ir-
resistible inclination to stray toward
the butt of the revolver at his hip.
Drawing the skiff well in among the
fringe of scrub willows, Hopkins
glanced back in the direction OF the
houseboat, snarled out an impatient
exclamation and set off across the bot
toms. The woodsman rose and softly
followed; Swallowed him through the
tangle of bushes and vines and fallen
logs out to the River road; watched
him cross, pick his way up the bluff
and slip away among the trees of the
upland.
The unguarded safe, the bundles of
money under the floor Of the cabin at
the homestead, crossed the woodsmans
mind. But there was a far higher
stake in his tense thought just then
than safes and bundles of money. The
frock coat and high hat were no sooner
we'll out Of sight than he sprang up
from where he lay in the thicket at the
edge of the bottoms and hurried back
to the skiff slid it out from the will
lows and crossed the channel to the
island. There he hid it again and
slipped through the tangle of under
brush and driftwood to where he could
get view of the houseboat.
There reached him the dull sound of
footballs on the cabin floor, and the
tiny craft rocked slightly as some one
evidently crossed from side to side, but
there was no sound of voices; from
which he concluded that the unknown
tenant was alone.
In the fast gathering shadows he
crept to the edge Of the island; crawled
with extraordinary care under the
hand rail to the diminutive forward
deck.
The door he had watched Hopkins
fumbling over he had locked-pad- |
locked on the outside. He stood still |

Oats as Fattening Feed
for Swine Not in Favor

Oats, because of the hulls, contain
about five times as much fiber In a
hundred pounds as corn Hogs, with
their rather limited digestive system,
cannot handle fiber anywhere nearly
so good as cattle, and on this account
fattening hogs as a rule are unable to
give q return for oats more than one
half as much per bushel as corn With
corn at 20 cents bushel, oats are
worth In the case of fattening shotes
only about 80 cents a bushel, al
though In the case OF cattle they might
very easily be worth 40 cents bushel
when corn Is 20 cents.
Oats have long been valued by
breeders Of pure bred hogs because
they seem to help in giving hogs an
appearance Of stretch. In the case
Of the man who fattens hogs, how
ever, oats are only doubtfully worth
while except under the rather I'M
usual conditions which often prevail
for a time during August when corn
may be very high and oats temporarily
very cheap.

CHAPTER XVIII
In the Dead Night.

Twilight had long faded into dark,
the hazy stars seeming only to inten-
sify the deep gloom Of the woods,
when Jack Warhope returned to Black
rock, coming in by way of the feed
pens, and slipping the horses into the
barn through the cattle sheds.
He crouched a long time on the
sound disturbed the silence. Very care
fully he fitted his key-the same that
had come so near causing him trouble
at the inquest-into the lock; guard
eddy turned it; worked the door slow
ly open; entered; softly closed and
locked it.
Stealing across the floor, he made
his way to the small Office room where
the papers and safe were kept.
He tiptoed behind the curtains that
der the stair in the sitting room and
stood still, his ears strung for every
sound that rode the night.
II couldn't have been short of mid
night, and his mind had gone back to
the house-boat, riding safe and secure
in the pocket at Alpine island, when
there came the sound for which his
ears were straining-hands outside
prying at the window of the west room.
He drew his revolver, cooked it and
took a position so that he could see
through the curtains without causing
them TO move.
There came a low sound of crum-
bling wood; the muffled slither of crack
ing glass; the soft CRATE Of the sash as
it was slowly raised; finally the creak
Of the window-sill and the faint swish
If clothing as somebody crawled
through. The sounds were repeated
more.

,A[SRL1VE
LIVE STOCK INDUSTRY
SHOWS IMPROVEMENT

prepared by the United States Department
of Agrtcugture)
That the live stock industry Of the
United States has benefited by the
many years Of effort toward improve
ment was brought out recently in a
statement made by DR.. John r. Mob
Ter, chief Of the bureau Of animal in
dustry, United States Department Of
Agriculture. He called attention to
the fact that in this country nearly
all the important breeds of live stock
of all kinds are being grown and that
many breeds have been developed here
to a state nearer perfection than in
any other country. In addition TO
growing the cattle, hogs, sheep, horses,
goats, and poultry, American farms
grow all the feed needed and sur
plus for export, a condition found in
few well-populated countries.
Among other things listed as contrib
uting to the high standing Of this
large industry are cow-testing associa-
lions, which now number 627; bull
associations, numbering 21S; means
for controlling or graduating every i'm
portant disease of farm animals; free
dom from dangerous plaques which
exist in many foreign countries; more
than $1,000 herds of cattle officially
declared free of tuberculosis and
more than 1900 stock growers who
have agreed to use nothing but pure
bred sires of all kinds of animals on
their farms.
Doctor Mohler also called attention
to our highly developed meat-inspec-
ton service, which is favorably
recognized by all foreign countries and
which has had much to do with the
development Of the meat industry In
this country. He said that we have
one-fourth of the worlds cattle. and
although we have only one-sixteenth
of the worlds population we use prac-
tically all of the dairy products pro-
duced here. ~
Few Of the problems Of the breeders
and feeders are deep seated, he be-
lieves, as the industry is well pro-
tected and on a solid economic foun-
dalton.

Docking and Castrating

The custom of docking all lambs
and castrating the males is almost
universal in the range focks. and to
this practice, in a large measure, may
be attributed the fact that lambs pro-
duced on our western ranges outsell
native or farm-raised lambs at the
market on the average of from 81 to
s1.5O per 100 pounds. These opera
lions have been found profitable. and
that is the big reason that they have
become so commonly practiced on the
western range. They are likewise ap-
plicable to the farm flock and just as
necessary for the production Of the
best lambs and consequently the most
profit.
The Challis messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1912-current, 1924-05-07

and listeneu-some one was moving
about inside the cabin, and a speck of
| light showed behind narrow crack
between the door and the jamb.
Very guardedly he crossed the deck
and brought his eye close to the crack
section of the room. A candle was
alight somewhere at the side, and
shadow-one shadow-flitted about
the floor. The shadow slid across the
section that he could see; deepened;
disappeared; and in its place-Texie.
She came to the door on the outside
of which he was crouched and tugged
at the latch, as she had probably done
many times since being left a pris-
oner, but the stout padlocked hasp
held firm. With an exclamation that
held just a shade of petulance, she
turned away.
He watched her till she passed out
of range of the crevice-doubtless to
sound the walls for some other means
of escape.
But the narrow opening had told
him what it heartened him much to
know. He took bullet from his
pouch; fiattened 1t between his teeth;
with his powerful fingers forced it
noiselessly into the keyhole of the
paddock in such way as. to make it
to insert the key; jammed
1t so tight with the blade of his pocket
knife that nothing short of lock-
smiths tools could have dislodged 1t.
Crawling along the gangway to the |
after deck, he rendered the paddock

The hog will eat, and grow and

Winter rye or blue grass are the
only grasses which the hogs like. And
lucky is the farmer who has such
grazing for them.
Laying your plans carefully now

summer or early fall, time when the
hog market is least crowded.
