PROBLEM TO SAVE
YOUNG LIVE STOCK

prepared by the United States Department
of Agrtculture.)
Cutting down the high and costly
death rate among infant live stock is
one of the farm problems for which
the farmer must apply the solution
himself. Secretary Of Agriculture Jar
dine recently declared that less than
10 per cent of the farmers problems
can be remedied by legislation; the re-
naming 80 per cent can best be solved
or approached for solution through the
business of farming. The prevention
of the high mortality among young
stock is among the latter.
Before birth the young animal is in
an environment where it is fairly well
protected from shock, injury, and in
lection. It has practically a uniform
temperature, and under normal condi-
tons has an adequate and suitable
food supply. But once launched into
the world for itself it is surrounded
with danger-infectious organisms !;
changing temperature, with storms,
wind snow, hail, rain, and extreme
heat; the possibilities of inadequate or
improper foods, overlooking, and the
presence of actual poisons Of various
sorts. The threat against an animal
life is greatest at birth.
Breeding from good stock Is funda-
mental. But it is not practical to put
off the problem until al the live stock
in the country is pure bred. And the
tremendous losses amongst our live
stock infants are due to very limit
ed extent to faulty breeding, according
to DR.. Ma 1rice G. Hall, of the bureau
of animal industry, United States De-
partment OF Agriculture
Whatever the objection to scrubs,
and similar animals OF cross breeds
and no breeds at all, may be, lack
of toughness is hardly their leading
characteristic. The highest infant
mortality, all other things being equal,
breds, not our scrubs and mongrels.
OF course, all other things are not
equal Our pure breds receive better
care because they are more valuable,
and they are usually the property Of
the more intelligent stockmen. Equal
ly good care should be extended to
young animals in general, regardless
of whether they are pure bred. The
bulk of our live stock today Is not
pure bred, and the protection of that
live stock industry is our business.
We must drop our attitude Of fatalism
and Indifference toward the deaths of
young animals, and challenge every
death to show causeswhy it occurred.
We will usually find the answer to be
misunderstanding and lack Of proper
care and sanitation"

Vast Fortunes Theirs for Few Brief Hours

In many brokerage houses everybody

Iodine Is an Important
Element in Stock Feed

Iodine is an important element in
animal nutrition, but is needed In
small quantities, according to A. R.
Lamb Of the Iowa State college. Like
some drugs, little is valuable. but too
much harmful
Successful reproduction, better
gains, and prevention Of goitre, which
sometimes cause serious troubles,
are best promoted by supplying the
iodine to the breeding stock. This
method will prevent the narrowing of
dead and hairless pigs, and big-necked
calves and lambs.
The best way to give the iodine to
live stock is to mix one-third of an
ounce of potassium iodide with 100
pounds of mineral mixture fed to the
stock, or about one grain per week to
a sheep or hog. This should be fed
throughout the CESSATION period.

out like woolly gray blanket from

wheeled suddenly upon DeWolfe.

Example of the Bee

1t is very important to remember,
says John Burroughs, the great natu-
ralist. that the bee does not get honey
from the flowers; it makes honey from
what it gets from the flowers. What
1t gets from the flowers is nothing but
sweetened water. The bee gets it's
sweet water, retires, thinks 1t over and
by private process makes its honey.
So many nature writer's fail to profit
by the example of the bee. They go
into the woods and come out again and
write about their experience-bu they
don't give us honey. They don't retire
and subject what they find In the
woods to private process. They give
us just a little sweet water, pretty
thoroughly diluted. I have tried for
many years not to give the world just
a bare record, but to flavor it with my
own personality.

CHAPTER XIV

By afternoon on Friday Peter had
acquired certain information that he
had sought.
In addition to acquiring the infor-
nation that would lead him to three
men, he had wrestled with the prob
lem presented by Brenas cable. He
had sent her word when he had arrived
safely in New York that he was full of
hope and optimism. "We shall win"
he had said because any other
thought is too terrible to bear" He
could not understand then what new
facts she had to justify her strange
message to him unless it were an
anonymous warning such as that which
he had received in Liverpool. To ac-
cede to her request and to proceed no
further along the lines of inquiry
which he had chosen as significant
would mean delay and perhaps loss
Of the thin threads that he had picked
up to unravel.
Peter had in him great deal of the
fiber Of determination, a good deal of
single-track purpose that frowned
upon him and made him vince when
he became tempted to postpone his
plans and indulge his desire in wait
ing idly for her to come. He knew
from the beginning that this man was
the side Of self that would win; he
was only doing that which he knew
in his inner consciousness he would do
when he cabled reply to her that
said, "Do not come yet. will cable
you again. If you have important
news do not be afraid to send it,"
He was glad when that was done.
There was an additional reason for it +;
he was not yet prepared to meet Brena
Selcoss for the second time. He must
first clear the way for relationship
that had in it no reservations.
The first thing to be done was to
confer with one Joseph Smallwood Of
brennan & Co., the publishers.
When Peter first saw Smallwood he
felt a little like one who has been sent
to an armless dentist. The man was
pale and f1avorless like the cream
sauce of cheap restaurants. Devote
had difficulty in believing that this
was the man to whom he had been re-
ferred.
"Mr. DeWolfe, how can serve you?''
he said in a low drawl as If he were
pulling his words like molasses candy
into long strips to match his own long
body.
ST understand that you not only
maintain a connection with brennan
but undertake commissions and pass
upon technical questions independ-
emily"
Smallwood's smile was Of the kind
that snaps on and off like an electric
light. Now he snapped it on; it was
gone in a flash-a string-pulled smile.
"Oh, yes" he said YEARLY. ''Did
you want TO find"
"a book" said Peter.
"What book?"

los in the Mescalero Desert Here Is

to right and then to left again with a
sad expression followed by the camera
shutter smile.

tenderly as If he bore the weight of all

ing his eyes as if resigned to anything
come what would.
