that by 1908 there were seventy -four animals
in the herd.
BY 1911 they had increased to l47 and it
looked as though the only really wild herd in
the country had been saved from extinction.
But suddenly new enemy attacked the herd
- hemorhagic septicemia - dread disease
that caused sturdy young animals to die with
in two or three days. One-sixth of the pre-
cious nucleus died before the United States
Bureau of Animal Industry could evolve an
effective serum and check the epidemic.
Twice again the malady struck, in 1919 and
1922. Now the rangers keep fresh serum on ice
at headquarters. Let young buffalo show
up with the sniffles, and they call the doctor,
round up the whole herd and vaccinate them
ALL
BY 1924, the Yellowstone herd had in
creased to 865 animals, and the rangers awoke
to the fact that they had too many buffaloes.
The parks grazing lands couldn't support
any more of these voracious eaters. A score
were shipped to Wind Cave National Park,
and more to Sully's National Monument, to
start new government owned herds. Then
word was passed out that anybody who want
ed live buffalo could have one, for the ask

it costs to catch. crate and deliver the thou

HEN MI. Joe JOHe, assistant super
w intendent, reached his office at Man,
w moth Hot Springs in Yellowstone
National Park, there was letter awaiting
him from little. freckle faced Billy Willis of
California and his sister. The letter read:
I'VE saw by the paper that you have too
many buffaloes and would send one to any
body who paid the shipping charges. Daddy
says we can have pair, male and female
about four months old. How much do they
weigh? We live on ranch and have lots of
range land. We are just youngsters and would
like calves because they would grow up gen.
tie and learn to love US.
FPS. We understand calf feeding and would
take good care of them
Joffe chuckled and tossed the letter into
basket marked Buffalo File. :" Lots of similar
letters were in the basket, because the rangers
in Yellowstone receive dozens of requests for
buffaloes every month.
What is more, the rangers come through.
Early every winter, the custodians of Yellow
stones laundering Herd, largest in the coun-
try, round up from thirty to eighty prime
yearlings, both cows and bulls, and herd them
into oorrals. There they are roped and dragged,
furious and fighting, into strong crates, and
shipped by railway express to nearly every
state.
But not everyone who asks gets buffalo.
The rangers have to disappoint most of the
little boys and girls who want buffaloes for
pets. They have to turn down Scout troops
who want live American bison as mascots
for their Buffalo Patrols so that they can keep
up with the Owl Patrols which have live-owl
mascots. They have to discourage the teach
ers who think pet buffalo for the school
would be 50 educational, and the doting par
ents who want to stake out buffalo on the
vacant lot next door for the amusement of
their children. But the Yellowstone rangers
are more than delighted to ship COW or bull
or pair of bison to any citizen who can prove

that he has enough room and feed to support
buffalo, and who realizes that grown buff
alo bull is ton of concentrated power and
cussedness, ready to charge at the slightest
provocation.
For Yellowstone's Laundering Herd has
grown altogether too numerous. Last winters
census revealed nine hundred animals. The
Lamar Valley range can't support any more
buffaloes, even when the rangers throw out a
thousand tons of hay in winter, when the
ground is snow-covered. So every year now for
the past decade they have been giving away
buffaloes - young ones to ZOOS and parks
and enthusiasts on ranches, old ones to the
Indians of the neighborhood And still the
herd increases, a far cry from the pitiful dozen
found by Emerson Hough back at the turn
of the century when he launched the ringing
campaign to save from extinction the herds

an equally serious problem. Each year Can
ada's official buffalo hunter. Sam Purshell
kills enough animals to hold the herds down
to 5000 animals. Last year Purshell shot two
thousand buffaloes and, in his time, he has
killed perhaps l8, 600 animals. This makes him
one of the great buffalo hunters of all time,
ranking with the famous Buffalo Bill Cody,
who slaughtered bufaloes on contract to feed
the early railroad builders
The Canadians have less trouble in finding
users of buffalo meat. Their railroads serve
buffalo steaks without arousing public ire.
Most of the meat is dried to provide pemmi-

es from Gardiner to the buffalo's new home.
Most of the buffaloes in the ZOOS and the parks
throughout the country are Yellowstone born.
So are many of the buffaloes that starred in
Zane Grey's The laundering Herd and other
pictures
The Yellowstone herd increases normally
at rate of two hundred calves wear, and
1t is job to get rid of that many buffaloes
each year. Custodians of the other large herds
face the same difficulty The trouble is.
Americans have swung from one extreme to
the other. They used to be buffalo destroyers;
now they are buffalo lovers When one pri-
vately owned herd became too numerous for
the range available, the owner invited hunt
ers to come out and shoot the animals at 50
much head. But the public rose in such
wrath that he was forced to call off the hunt.
The same thing happened when a Northern
railroad undertook to tickle the palates of its
diners by serving buffalo steaks No one
would eat the poor downtrodden buffalo and
the steaks had to be taken off the menu.

APRIL SNOW

Throughout the night the soft flakes
fell,
On open field, on hill and dell,
When morning came the white farm
yard
Reminded one of Christmas card.
The springlike landscape, overnight,
Had donned gown of sparkling
white;
Rich ermine robed each bush and tree,
Lending an air of luxury.
A robin, slightly damp and mussed,
Surveyed it all with deep disgust;
Then trilled CHEEKY note, or so,
To prove he did not mind the snow.
But very soon the sun came out
And put the lovely scene to rout;
The snow ran off in tiny rills,
From violets, and daffodils.
The hyacinth peeped from it's bed;
The jonquil bravely raised its head,
And long before the close of day
The snow had melted quite away.

Spices Lift the Simple Pot Roast

The grand uses to which one can
put leftover cake crumbs is motive
enough in itself for cake baking. With
this thought in mind, the housewife
should never hesitate to bake a cake
as one cake can go into the makings
of dozens of fine desserts, provided,
of course, that there is any leftover.
CAKE CRUMB MOUSSE
Put all leftover pieces of cake, in
GLIDING the frosting, into a tin and
place in the oven to dry out. When
dry, put through the food-choppr,
whip cream and add mashed fruit and
cake crumbs. If the crumbs are quite
sweet because of the frosting, add no
more sugar. A little almond extract
will make the cake crumbs in the
cream taste like macaroons.
CHOCOLATE ICE BOX CAKE
Put dry chocolate cake through
food chopper. Take two cups Of dry
crumbs, add beaten eggs, and fold in
IL pint of whipped cream. Put in a
mold and set in the refrigerator to
chill.

THIS THING CALLED WAR
War isn't just an army camp
Where soldiers drill each day,
And study rules, and discipline,
Before they march away.
War is a grim, rapacious Beast
Which thrives on human gore;
1t strews it's victims far afield
And avidly seeks more.
War is the roar of cannonades;
An air attack at night;
The deadly fumes of poison gas
Far-reaching in it's might!
War is muddy, filthy trench;
A nauseating smell,
And lice, and cold, and dread disease
War is a man made He'll!

DAFFODILL'S

/ never see the daffodill's
On lovely lawns, or market square,
Without remembering how they grew
Beneath my Mothers tender care.
l see a little girl that swings
Upon the garden gate, anew,
While Mother gathers daffodils
That are wet in April dew.
Her face above the daffodills
Is smiling at me as of old,
Till memories green with spring time
lure
Are like the daffedills, all gold.

All containers used for milk must

Milk served hot should not be boiled

RADIANT LIVING
Kimberley Diamonds

BY Rev. C. nj. Griffith
Pastor Methodist Church
Ridgely, Md.
The colonists who went to South
Africa and settled as farmers in the
region of Kimberley grew very dis
heartened over their lot. They found
the soil so poor and rocky that they
could raise but the smallest of crops.
Only the children seemed to have
good time. They were amusing
themselves by throwing at each other
the peculiar stones that lay around
everywhere.
Many farmers left the region. Those
who stayed died in poverty. Yet all
the while, those peculiar stones with
which the children played were huge
diamonds in the rough, while under
their novels lay a wealth that was too
vast even to estimate!
Had they only been able to recog-
nize this wealth!
Like those Kimberley farmers, we
too are living surrounded by an i'm
mense wealth of which we are not a
ware.
I speak of the wealth of the spirit
ual realnl-that wealth, which, when
you possess it, gives you the ability
to sing in tn midst of pain. 1t is a
wealth which enables you to see the
sun still shining through drenching
rain.
I speak of that wealth which en-
ables you to be in conscious harmony
with the Infinite God of Love, a love
