TW the rising prices of beef and mutton in the United States can be partially over-

come by raiting deer for venison, is maintained by Dr. C. Hart Merriam. chief of the Uni-

ted Slates biological survey. According to Dr. Merriam elk meat can be produced cheaperthan beef or mutton in many sections of the United States, and icith comparatively littleeffort it is possible to make raising deer for vnison as profitable as any other live-stoc- k indus-try.

The wapiti, known generally In America as theellv. K next to the moose, the largest of our deer.It svas once abundant over the greater part of theUnited States, whence its range extended north-ward to about latitude CO degrees la the Peaceriver region of the Interior of Canada. In theI'nited States the limits of Its range eastwardw'.--e the Adirondack's, western New Jersey andeastern Pennsylvania; southward It reached theflouthern AHeghenies. northern Texas, southernNow Mexico and Arizona; and westward the Pa-cifl- c

ocean.At the present time the elk are found only

In a few scattered localities outside of the Yel-

lowstone National park and the mountainouscountry surrounding it. where large herds remain.Sn.allr herds still occur in Colorado, westernMontana. Idaho, eastern Oregon. Manitoba. Al-Ivirt- a.

valley.Th! herds that summer In th Yellowstone

National park and In winter spread southwardand eastward In Wyoming are said to numberabout ao.000 head and constitute the only larjjetionds of this noble game animal that are left.Although protected In their summer ranges andpartially safeguarded from destruction In winterly the state of Wyoming, there is yet great dan-gp- r

that these herds may perish from lack of foodIn a succession of severe winters. Partial pro-visio- n

for winter forage has been made withinthe national park, but the supply Is Inadequate forU:j large numbers of animals. Further safeguardsare needed to place the Wyoming elk herds be-yond the reach of winter starvation.

in addition to the wild herds there Is a con-fi- f

rable number of elk In private game preservesand parks, as well as In nearly all the public zo-ological parks and gardens of this country. Theherds In captivity form the nucleus from which,under wise management, some of the formerranges of this animal may restocked and fromnfclch a profitable business of growing elk veni-son for market may be developed. At the pres-ent time this species affords a most promising

--field for ventures in breeding for profit.'i The elk Is both a browsing and a grazing nnl--ma- !

While it eats grasses freely and lias beenknown to subsist entirely upon pasture, it seemsto prefer a mixture of grass and browse.

The elk is extremely polygamous. The adultbulls shed their antlers annually In March orApril and new ones attain their full size In about90 days. The "vehet" adheres until about Au- -

; gust. While the horns are growing the bulls usu- -

. ally lead solitary lives; but early in September.j when the herns are fully matured, the mating, aeason begins. Fights for supremacy then take

plare and the victor takes charge of as many cowsaa hs can round up and control.

Although the elk is less prolific than the com-mon deer and some other species that have beenbred in parks. It increases fully as rapidly as thecommon red deer of Europe. Moreover, it makesup tor any lack of fecundity by its superior har-diness and ease of management. It has been ac-

climatized in many parts of the world and showsthe same vigor and hardiness wherever it hasbesii transplanted. In Europe It has been suc-cessfully crossed with the Altai wapiti and thored deer and in both instances the offspring weresuperior in size and stamina to the native stock.

The flesh of the elk. although somewhat coarse.In superior in flavor to most venison. That of thebulls is in its best condition about the time thevelvet is shed. In October their flesh is in thei;ooret condition. As the open season for elkIs usually in October and XoTeinber and onlytmlls are killed. It follows that hunters often ob-

tain the veulsou when it !s poorest. The meat

With few exceptions the early attempts todomesticate elk were made by men who werewealthy enough to disregard all thought of profitIn raising them. They were usually placed underthe care of servants and the bucks were left

until they became old and unmanage-able. Soon the serious problem of controllingthem outweighed the novelty of their josses.sionand one by one the attempts at domesticationwere abandoned.

A desire to preserve this important game ani-

mal has caused a renewal of attempts to breedit In confinement and at present there are smallherd9 under private ownership in many places inthe United States. The biological survey has re-cently obtained much information from ownersof herds in regard to their experience in breedingnnd rearing the animals and also their opinionsas to the possibility of making the business ofraising them profitable. Of about a dozen suc-cessful breeders nearly all are of the opinionthat raising elk for market can be made remu-nerative if present laws as to the a!e of the meatare modified.

One especially Important fact has been devel-oped by the reports from breeders. It is that theelk readily adapts itself to almost any environ-ment. Even within the narrow confines of thepaddocks of the ordinary zoological park the ani-mal does well and increases so that periodicallythe herds have to be reduced by sales.

The fullest reports that have been receivedby the department of agriculture from breedersof elk are from George W. Russ of EurekaSprings. Aik.

Mr. Russ has a herd of 34 elk. They haveample range In the Ozarks on rough land coveredwith hardwood forests and abundant underbrush.The animals improve the forest by clearing outpart of the thicket. They feed on buds and leavesto a height of eight feet and any growth underthis Is liable to be eliminated if the range is un-

restricted. If not closely confined elk do not eatthe bark from trees nor do they eat evergreens.In clearing out underbrush from thickets theyare mere useful than goats, since they browsehigher. Coats, however, eat closer to the ground,nnd as the two animals get along well togetherMr. Russ recommends the use of both for clear-ing up brushy land ami fitting it for tame grasses.

The Increase of elk under domestication Isequal to that of cattle. Fully 90 per cent, of thefemales produce healthy young. An adult maleelk weighs from TOO to 1.000 pounds; a femalefrom 000 to S00 pounds. The percentage ofdressed meat is greater than with cattle, but.owinc to hostile game law, experience In mar-keting it is limited. An offer of JO cents apound for dressed meat was received from St.

but the law would not permit Its export.Mr. Russ says:

"From the fact that as hich as 11.50 a poundhas been paid for Mie meat In New York city andCanada and that the best hotels and restaurantspronounce it the finest of nil the meats of maminals. we are of the opinion that if laws weresuch that domesticated elk meat could be fur-nished it would be many years before the supplywould nsaxe the price reasonable compared withother meats. Elk meat can be produced in manysections of this country at less cost per itoundthan beef, mutton or pork."

Mr. Russ thinks that large areas of roughlands in the United States not now utilized, espe-cially in localities like the Ozarks and the AHe-

ghenies. could be economically used to producevenison for sale and he regards the elk aa espe-cially suited for this purpose.

Another feature of Sir. Russ's reiort Is ofmore than passing interest. He says:

"We find from long experience that cattle,sheep and goats can be grazed in the same lotswith elk, providing, however, that the lots orinclosures are not small; the larger the area thebetter. We know of no more appropriate place tocall attention, to the great benefit ol a few elk

inTo one who gives thought to the

matter, these accepted principlesmay be reversed, and we can say withall seriousness and truth that thereis no town in this country where thejudicious use of the ax among treesin some neighborhood or other Is notdemanded; and, on the other hand,thousands of trees are planted whereno tree should be planted.

An elk Is the natural en-

emy of dogs and wolves.We suffered great lossestu our flocks until wolearned this fact; sincethen we have had no

from that cause. A

few elk In a thousan.l-arr- e

pasture willprotect the flocks

therein. Our own dogsare so well aware of thedanger In pur parkthat they cannot In-

duced to enter It."Elk thrive best In

preserves having a va-

riety of food plantsgrasses, b u s It e strees. Rough lands,well watered with clearstreams and havingsome forested are

well adapted to their needs. About as many elkcan be Kept on such a range cattle on an equalarea of fair pasture. There should be thicketsenough to furnish winter browse, but this shouldbe supplemented by a supply of winter forage.

Except when dicp snows cover the ground, elkwill keep in good condition on ordinary pastureand browse, but a system of management that pro-vides other food regularly will be found more sat-isfactory. Hay and corn fodder are excellent win-

ter forage, but alfalfa hay has proved to be thebest dry food for both elk and deer.

Elk are much less nervous than ordinary deerand less disposed to jump fences. When theyescape from an enclosure they usually return oftheir own accord. If tame, they may be drivenlike cattle. Ordinarily a five-foo- t fence of any kind

confine elk.The cost of stocking an elk preserve Is not

great. Usually surplus stock from zoological parkaor small private preferies may be obtained at lowcost, arying with the immediate demand for theanimals.

The Virginia or whitetail deer Is the commondeer of the United States. Including the halfdozen geographic races that occur within our bor-ders, it is distributed over mosj of the country,except Nevada and the major portions of Utah.Arizona. Washington. Oregon nnd California. Itis extinct in Delaware and practically so in a num-ber of states in the middle west. South of ourborders a number of closely related species occur.

In view of the wide natural range of the Vir-

ginia deer, its adaptability to nearly all sections ofthe United States cannot he doubted. Testimonyas to its hardiness In parks and preserves Is notso unanimous as that concerning the elk; but thegeneral experience of breeders Is that with suitablerange, plenty of good water and reasonable caroin winter, raising this deer for stocking preservesor for venison may he made as profitable as anyother live-stoc- k Industry. Not only do deer thriveon land unsulted for rattle or horses, but. like elk.they may be raised to great advantage In brushyor timbered pastures fully stocked with cattle orhorses, as the food of deer rarely Includes grass.

Advocates of the Angora goat Industry statethat within the United States there are 230.000.000acres of land not sult;d to tillage to the pastureof horses, cattle or sheep, which are well adaptedto goats. Much of this Is suited also to deerand elk and can be utilized for these animals withless Injury the forpst cover than would resultfrom browsing by goats.

Virginia deer have often been bred In parks forpleasure or In large preserves for sport, but theeconomic possibilities In raising them have re-

ceived little attention. Recently breeders haverecognized tho fact that they are profitable underproper management and would be much more sowore for marketing live animals andvenison more favorable.

The chief obstacle to profitable propagation ofdeer in the United States is the restrictive char-acter of state laws governing the killing, sale andtransportation of game. Many of the states, fol-

lowing precedent, lay down the broad rule that allthe game animals in the state, whether resident ormigratory, are the property of the state. A fewstates except game animals that are "under pri-vate ownership legally acquired."

The laws concerning the season for killingand the sale of deer are often equally embarrass-tn- g

to those who would produce venison for profit.The owner of domesticated deer cannot legally killhis animals except in open season.

Instead of hampering breeders by restrictions,at present, state laws uhould be so modified as

to encourage the raising of deer, elk and otheranimals as a source of profit to the individual andto the state.

It is believed that with favorable legislationmuch otherwise waste land in the United Statesmay be utilized for the production of venison soas to yield profitable returns and also that thisexcellent and nutritious meat. Instead of beingdenied to &9 per cent, of the population of thecountry may become common and as cheap laour markets as mutton.

Each variety of fruit or ornamentaltree when it reaches maturity underreasonably favorable conditions hasIts established size or spread ofbranches. Among the better shadetrees this reaches 40. 50. and agreater number of feet in diameter.In dense forests we see the treesstretching up after air and sunshine,losing their side branches and becom-ing collection of giant telegraphpoles with pitiful bunches of green atthe top, nothing beautiful about them.

Strange Inventions at Patent Office

"Labor-savin- g de-vices are always in demand; the

thousand inventors of this country areall devoting 90 per cent, of their timeto producing such things, each in thehope of winning for himself fame andfortune, cash and credit." said a pat-ent attorney the other day In Wash-ington.

"One of the strangest of theseschemes to lighten the world's workIs a patent recently obtained by anIngenious person in Des Moines. la.It is called the self-tippin- g hat. andIs designed to save the popular per-son from the fatiguing labor of re-moving his hat every time he meetsone of the fair sex with whom he Isacquainted.

"I HAD no particular interest in Hal-le- y

Then Mrs. Simmons wouldlead me to a window and point out adark line in the sky. It didn't lookmuch of a comet to me, but she in-

sisted that it was. and 1 took herword for It.

One morning we went through ourregular performance. The more 1
