Hart Merriam, chief of the Uni- ied States biological survey. According to Dr. Merriam elk meat can be produced cheaper than beef or mutton in many sections of the United States, and with comparatively little effort it is possible to make raising deer for venison as profitable as any other livestock indus­ try. Everyone *eh$ has ssen ike lergc numbers of deer browsing on private estates w* Fng- Jand as peacefully Ms cattle and tsh#ep wonders why American enterprise has not long since developed breeding deer for food in this country. EVERAL species of deer are suited tor breeding in en­ closures in the United States; the axis deer, the Japanese and Pekin albas, the red and the fallow deer of Europe, and especially the Rocky Mountain elk, or wapiti, and the Virginia deer. While experiments with the foreign species rtifor owrv nromtee of success to the owners of American preserves, the elk and Virginia deer are rec­ ommended as best adapted fur the production of venison in the United States. The flavor of venison is distinctive, though it suggests mutton rather than beef. In chemical composition it. is very similar to "beef. A lean venison roast before cooking has been found to contain on an average 75 per cent of water, 20 per cent, of protein or nitrogenous material and 2 per cent, of fatr^ a lean beef ramp, some 65 to 70 per oent of water, 20 to 23 per cent of pro­ tein and 5 to 14 per cent of fat; and a lean leg of mutton, 67 per cent of water, 19 per cent of protein and 13 per cent of fat The general popularity of venison Is so great and the demand for it so widespread that over­ production is improbable. The other products of the deer--Bkins and horns--are of considerable Importance and in countries where deer are abun­ dant and especially where large herds are kept in semi-domestication, the commerce in both is very extensive. The wapiti, known generally ID America as the elk, is, next to the moose, the largest of our deer. It was once abundant over the greater part of the United States, whence its range extended north­ ward to about latitude 60 degrees in the Peace river region of the interior of Canada. In the United States the limitB of its range eastward were the Adirondack*, western New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania; southward it reached the southern AUeghenies, northern Texas, southern New Mexico and ArtsoUA; and westward the Pa­ cific ocean. At the present time the elk are found only In a few Scattered localities outside of the Yel­ lowstone National park and the mountainous country surrounding it where large herds remain. Smaller herds still occur tn Colorado, western Montana, Idaho, eastern Oregon, Manitoba, Al­ berta, British Columbia and the coast mountains of Washington, Oregon and northwestern Califor­ nia. A band of the small California valley elk still inhabits the southern part of tbe San Joa­ quin valley. The herds that summer in the Yellowstone National park and in winter spread southward and eastward in Wyoming are said to number about 30,000 head and constitute the only large bands of this noble game animal that are left Although protected in their summer ranges and partially safeguarded from destruction In winter by the state of Wyoming, there 1b yet great dan­ ger that these herds may perish from lark of food in a succession of severe winters. Partial pro­ vision for winter forage has been made within the national park, but tbe supply is inadequate for th* Large numbers of animals. Further safeguards a» needed to place the Wyoming elk herds be- rmd the reach of winter starvation. In addition to the wild herds there Is a con­ siderable number of elk in private game preserves and parks, as well as in nearly all the public so- ological parks and gardens of this country. The herds in captivity form the nucleus from which, under wise management, some of the former range* of this animal may restocked and from wiuch a profitable business of growing elk venl- son for market may be developed. At the pres­ ent time this species affords a most promising field for ventures in breeding for profit The elk,is bcth a browsing and a grazing anl- maL While it tats grasses freely and has been known to subsist entirely upon piasture, it seems to prefer a mixture of grass and browse. The elk is extremely polygamous. The adult bulls shed their antlers annually in March or April and new ones attain their full size in about 90 days. The "velvet" adheres until about Au­ gust While tbe horns are growing the bulls usu­ ally lead solitary lives; but early in September, when the horns are fully matured, the mating season begins Fights for supremacy then take place and the victor takes charge of as many cows as he can round up and control. Although the elk is less prolific than the mon deer and some other- Bpecies that have bred in parks, it increases fully as rapidly as* the common red deer of Europe. Moreover, it makes up for 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 shows the same vigor and hardiness wherever it has been transplanted. In Europe it has been suc- c^tsfully crossed with the Altai wapiti and the red deer and in both Instances the offspring were superior in size and stamina to the native stock. The flesh of the elk, although somewhat coarse. is superior in flavor to most venison. That of the ' buBs is in its best condition about the time the I velvet is shed. In October their flesh Is in the poorest condition. As the open season 'for elk Is usually in October and November and only btlls are killed, it follows that hunters often ob­ tain the venison wheti it is poorest The meat yQ.M&&T!C&r£rQ> V/&G/MA in the same with sheep and gbatyi. An elk is the natural en­ emy of dogs and wolves. We suffered great losses to our flocks until we this fact: sinco then we have had no lops from that cause. A few elk In a thousand- acre pasture will abso­ lutely pretsct the flocks therein. Our own flogs are so well aware of the danger In our elk park that they cannot be in­ duced to enter it." Elk thrive best In preserves having a, va- riety of food plants-- grasses, bushes ' and trees. Rough binds, well watered with Clear streams and having some forested area, are is not best when freshly killed, but should be left hanging for four or five days before it Is used. With few exceptions the early attempts to domesticate elk were made by men 'who were wealthy enough to disregard all thought of profit in raising them. They were usually placed under the care of servants and the bucks were left un- castrated until they became old and unmanage­ able. Soon the serious problem of controlling them outweighed the novelty of their possession and one by one the attempts at domestication were abandoned. A desire to preserve this important game ani­ mal has caused a renewal of attempts to breed it in confinement and at present there are small herds under private ownership tn many places in the United States. The biological survey has re­ cently obtained much information from owners of herds in regard to their experience in breeding and rearing the animals and also their opinions as to the possibility of making the business 6f raising them profitable. Of about a dozen suc­ cessful breeders nearly all are of the opinion that raising elk for market can be made remu­ nerative If present laws as to the sale of the meat are modified. One especially important fact has been devel­ oped by the reports from breeders. It is that the elk readily adapts itself to almost any environ­ ment Even within tbe narrow confines of the paddocks of the ordinary zoological park the ani­ mal does well and increases so that periodically the herds have to be reduced by sales. The fullest reports that have been received by the department of agriculture from breeders of elk are from George W. Russ of Eureka Springs, Ark. Mr. Russ has a herd of 34 elk. They have ample range In the Ozarks on rough land covered wltlv hardwood forests and abundant underbrush. The animals improve the forest by clearing out part of the thicket. They feed on buds and leaves to a height of eight feet and any growth under this is liable to be eliminated if the range is un­ restricted. If not closely confined elk do not eat the bark from trees nor do they eat evergreens, in clearing out underbrush from thickets they are more useful than goats, since they browse higher. Goats, however, eat closer to the ground, and as the two animals get along well together Mr. Russ recommends the use of both for clear­ ing up brushy land and fitting it for tame grasses. The increase of elk under domestication is equal to that of cattle. Fully 90 per cent of the females produce healthy young. An adult male elk weighs from 700 to 1,000 pounds; a female frotfl 600 to 800 pounds. The percentage of dressed meat is greater than with cattle, but, owing to hostile game laws, experience In mar­ keting it Is very limited. An offer of 40 cents a pound for dressed meat was received front St Louis, but the law would not permit its export Mr. Russ Bays: "From the fact that as high as $1.50 a pound has been paid for the meat in New York city and Canada and that the best hotels and restaurants pronounce it the finest of all the meats of mam­ mals, we are of the opinion that if laws were such that domesticated elk meat could be fur­ nished,it would be many years before the supply would make the price reasonable compared with other meats. Elk meat can be produced in many sections of this country at less cost per pound than beef, mutton or pork." Mr. Russ thinks that large areas of rough lands In the United States not now utilised, espe­ cially In localities like the Osarks and the AUe­ ghenies, could be economically used to produce venison for sale and he regards the elk as espe­ cially suited for this purpose. Another feature of Mr. Russ's report is of mere than passing interest He says: "We find from long experience that cattle, sheep and goats can be grazed in the same lots with elk, providing, however, that the lots or Inclosures are not small; the larger the area the better. We know of no more appropriate place to call attention to the great benefit of a few elk well adapted to their needs. About as many elk can be kept on such a range as cattle on an equal area of fair pasture, Thfere should be thickets enough to furnish winter browse, but this should be supplemented by a supply of winter forage. Except when deep snows cover the ground, elk will keep in good condition on ordinary pasture and 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 the best dry food for both elk and deer. Elk are much less nervous than ordinary deer and less disposed to -Jump fences. When they escape from an enclosure they usually return of their own accord. If tame, they may be driven like cattle. Ordinarily a five-foot fence of any kind will confine elk. The cost of stocking an elk preserve ll not great Usually surplus stock from zoological parks or small private preserves may be obtained at lew cost varying with the immediate demand for the animals. The Virginia or whitetail deer Is the common deer of the United States. Including the half dozen geographic races that ocdur within our bor­ ders, It is distributed over most of the country, except Nevada and the major portions of Utah, Arizona, Washington, Oregon and California. It is extinct in Delaware and practically so in a num­ ber of states In the middle west. South of our borders a number of closely related species occur. In view of the wide natural range of tbe Vir­ ginia deer, its adaptability to nearly all sections of the United States cannot be doubted. Testimony as to its hardiness in parks and preserves is not so unanimous as that concerning' the elk; but the general experience of breeders is that with suitable range, plenty of good water and reasonable care v in winter, raising this deer for stocking preserves or for venison may be made as profitable as any other live-stock industry. Not only do deer thrive on land unsuited for cattle or horses, but, like elk, they may be raised to great advantage In brushy or timbered pastures fully stocked with cattle or horses, as the food of deer rarely Includes grass. Advocates of the Angora goat Industry state that within the United States there are 250,000,000 acres of land not suited to tillage or to the pasture of horses, cattle or sheep, which are well adapted to goats. Much of this land Is suited also to deer and elk and can be utilized for these animals with less injury to the forest cover than would result from browsing by goats. Virginia deer have often been bred In parks for pleasure or In large preserves for s$ort, but the economic possibilities in raising them have re­ ceived little attention. Recently breeders have recognized the fact that they are pfrititable under proper management and would be much more so, were conditions for marketing livf anlmalB and venison more favorable. The chief obstacle to profitable propagation of deer in tbe United States is the restrictive char­ acter of state laws governing tbe killing, sale and transportation of game. Many of the states, fol­ lowing precedent, lay down the broad rule that all the game animals In the state, whether resident or migratory, are the property of the state. A few states except game animals that are "under pri» vate ownership legally acquired." The laws concerning tbe season for killing and the sale of deer are often equally embarrass­ ing to those who would produce venison for profit The owner of domesticated deer cannot Regally, kill, his animals except In open season. Instead of hampering breeders by <estrictlons, as at present, state laws should be so modified as to encourage the raising of deer, elk and other animals as a source of profit to the Individual and to the state. It is belteved that with favorable legislation much otherwise waste land in the United States may be utilized for the production of venison so as to yield profitable returns and also that this excellent and nutritious meat, instead of being denied to 99 per cent, of the population of the country may become as common and as cheap 1* our markets as mutton. Constitutionality of Statute of is Questioned Becaus* Title and -|ody of 8111 Contain Two Sub- trr jects--Must Find Remedy. Springfield. -- The constitutionality of the parole act of 1899, involved in the case of the people against Joseph Joyce, was argued before the supreme court by Attorney Frank R. Reld, while Assistant Attorney General Joel C. Fitch appeared for the people. The euprome court had declared the law unconstitutional on the ground that the title and the body of the act con­ tained two subjects. TJie constitutionality of the act was attacked by Mr. Reld upon the grounds that it confer* judicial power on the state board of pardons; that It de­ prives the court of the power to use discretion in fixing the punishment of one convicted of crime, and that both -the title and the body of the actnct contain two separate subjects. It was also claimed by Joyce's at­ torneys that section one pf the parole act can be declared unconstitutional so far as it fails to fix the punishment in connection with a crime without disturbing the so-called parole fea- fotva of the law itself. The first sec­ tion prohibt's the court from imposing a sentence for a definite period or number of. years. Attorney Frank R. Re id declared this is a violation of "the duo process" of the law clause In the stat* and federal constitutions. Assistant Attorney General Fitchy contended that a sentence under the par<?le act is a definite and certain sentence for a specified number of years, and that the fact that the board of pardons may discharge a prisoner before the expiration of his time does not make the sentence in­ definite, and therefore does not con­ fer on the board of pardons the ju­ dicial power to sentence one con­ victed of crime. Whatever the supreme court's de­ cision on the law, the general as­ sembly, when It meets next winter, will be asked to plug up the loopholes in the statute. Should the law be up­ held, an effort to enact an adult pro­ bation law will be made. Ask New Mining Laws. Illinois mine Inspectors are unable thoroughly to inspect the mines of the state, because they are npt allowed ex­ penses sufficient to do the work, ac­ cording to statements made at the convention of the Mine Inspectors' In­ stitute of the United States. John H. Walker, president of district 12 of the United Mine Workers of America, de­ clared this to be true in an address, and was supported in his statement by James Taylor, state mine inspector of Peoria. "The mine Inspector is working without help, but with great opposition," said Mr. Walker. "The influence on him of both miner and operator must be eliminated to stop the things that make for Ms demoral­ ization and ineffectiveness. Now, if he proposes a measure that will add a little to the work of the miner, even though it increases his safety, the miner will oppose him and the opera­ tor will do likewise when he is affect­ ed. This Js seen mostly in damage suits. A liability law that would work automatically for the relief of the widows and orphans of miners killed or their own relief where injured, no matter who is to blame, should be passed.*- / " Soldiers' Heme Is 8ust«»ned. • The 8tate Board of Administration has failed to sustain the charges pre­ ferred against officials of the ftoldters' and Sailors' home at Qulncy by Jack­ son Tibbs of Clinton, who recently left the institution.

Demands Reduetten of Rate*. An exposition of the practises by •which the express companies are said to have been able to gouge extortion­ ate rates for years from the shippers of Chicago and Illinois is contained la a brief submitted to th® Illinois rail­ road and warehouse commission in be­ half of the Chicago Association of Commerce following the recent in­ vestigation by the commission. The investigation was instituted on ac­ count of advances of 70 per cent, in the rates out of Chicago in two yoars. The brief is based on the evidence obtained at a series of bearings be­ fore the commission extending over four month's. Recitals of the concert of action be­ tween the express companies and of the close relations between the ex­ press companies and the railroads, to­ gether with some searchlight glances Into the capitalization and financing of the express companies, are alleged to reveal in detail many obscure rea­ sons for their piling up of enormous surpluses sad huge profits. With the brief Is included an abstract Com­ prising several hundred pages of the unwilling testimony of Express Offi­ cials on the basis of which the com­ mission Is urged: - . £ > To establish rates' for express cotla- pacies within the state of Illinois based upon weights and mileage. That in general the rates be re­ duced approximately 33 1-3 per cent That it establish a special suburban rate for Chicago consistent With the large volume of business and the density of population and railroad mileage in Illinois. That the graduate scale be gradua­ ted equitably from a proper minimum up to the full 100 pounds, and that it be consistent in its graduation and In the charges it imposes st the different rates.

These short courses are wel­ comed by all the normal school presi­ dents. oiate Superintendent Blair be lleves this plan gofti for the young people who attend, good for the nor­ mal school students and the faculty, and good for the caufe of agricultural education."

Another new feature of the institute work te to employ per­ sons in various part* of tbe state to work up and assist in organizing farmers' clubs and ffldepenient insti­ tutes--strengthening and making the work effective where it is weak or neglected. This will be uniter the di­ rection of the superintendent.
