He handed $50 to the fireman. Then four negro porters who had been kept busy icing wine and drawing corks for the past 48 hours lined up and Scotty presented each of them with $100. He said: "You did the best ydu knew how, boys. But you knew and I know that you don't know nothin' about the business of cooling bubble bottles. Speed is the only thing you lack. Cultivate rapidity, boys, culti- vate rapidity. And action. What I want is action. Good-bye and God bless you." He then permitted himself to be led away, followed by no inconsider- able part of the population of Chica- go. For some weeks thereafter, the recklessness with which he spent his money was a feature of the local news. Then he (vanished, but not be- fore the legend which he had brought with him had become firmly estab- lished. This was to the effect that he was the owner of the richest gold mine in the world, which contained ore that a man had only to dig up with a pick and take to a bank. This mine was supposed to be located in Death Valley, Nevada, and was so situated that it was impossible for anyone to reach it who did not know the secret trails. Since then stories have been circulated about adventur- ous men who sought to penetrate the desert that guards the valley and per- ished of thirst in the attempt. The original claim -is supposed to have been staked by a prospector named Breyfogle, who went mad when the wealth of his discovery dawned upon him. iScotty in some manner, more or less orthodox, became his heir, and he announced that his main object in life was to try to spend all the money he was worth. But another story came to light in 1912, when a Los Angeles grand jury undertook an investigation of the Death Valley Scotty Gold Mining and Developing Company. The hero then admitted that his famous record- breaking trip to Chicago had been devised by a New York engineer to advertise the company and that the engineer had provided the 310,000 that the trip- had cost, including the Chicago celebration. He further ad- mitted that he had been grub stake:i by A. M. Johnson, of Chicago, with whom he later formed a friendship and business partnership. Mr. John- sen is a wealthy man and visits Scotty in Death 1,alleyevery year, He is also said to have provided some 52,500,000 for the building of a castle in the valley where the two of them will reside. So it may he that reports of Scotty's fabulous wealth and stag- gering losses on the stock exchange should be discounted. But there seems to be no doubt that the money he actually spent in the days before pro- hibition descended on the United States was real money. "DEATH VALLEY SCOTTY" BUMPED IN THE MARKET Every now and then "Death Valley Scotty" gets his name in the news- papers for some sensational exploit or other, and then he abruptly disap- pears. The generally accepted theory' is that after his occasional visits to civilization and the bright lights he returns to his inaccessible fastness in Nevada and proceeds to digs up en- ough gold for a future comet -like ap- pearance. A few days ago Scotty appeared in a rather unusual role. He said that he had lost $6,000.000 in the stock market. Something a lit- tle more original had been expected of him and the general impression was that he was slipping and could not much longer be depended upon for a sensational news story. But when he said that while he had lost $6,000,000 it did not worry him be- cause he knew where he could get an- other $6,000,000, interest somewhat revived, for the people who lose $6,- 000,000 and say they are not worried are few and far between. The mys- tery as to where he can get the other millions remains. That, we suppose, is necessary, for the very essence of Scotty is mystery. Indeed without the mystery there might be no Scotty at all. The fact that he has been able to baffle quite a few people who have tried to solve the problem that he cheerfully presents is what gives him interest and makes it worth while writing about him. The right name of our hero is Wal- ter Scott, and on one occasion when he was asked if he was any relation to the famous Walter he replied that he was the famous Walter, and cer- tainly he has provided the newspapers with more live matter in the past 20 years or so than the author of the Waverley novels. He first burst up- on a dazzled public eye in 1905. He suddenly appeared] in Los Angeles from nowhere and said that his aim was to break the railroad record from that city to Chicago. He announced that he had a hidden mine in a hid- den valley and all the money, prac- tically, in the world. After convinc• ing the officials of the Santa Fe Rail read of his solvency he asked what it would cost to take him and his wife and a few chosen friends to Chicago in a special train, consisting of loco- motive, diner, baggage car and sleep- er. The price was set at $5,500 and he was promised that the trip would take just 48 hours. Scotty wished the road to guarantee that this time would not be exceeded and offered to pay $20 for every minute under the specified time, if the railroad would pay him $20 for every extra minute. The offer was declined and it was a fortunate thing for Scotty that it was because the trip took just 44 hours and 54 minutes, breaking the former record by nearly eight hours. Naturally news of the exploit had preceded Scotty and the newspapers published bulletins reporting the pro- gress of the train. When he arrived there was an' enthusiastic crowd awaiting him for news of his free- handed principles had spread abroad. As soon as the train came to a stand- still a cheer arose and Scotty appear- ed waving a sombrero. "Now boys," he said, "I'm going to buy.

If in is possible, arrange the building so that the sun will shine in early in the morning and during as much of the day as pos- sible; the windows should be so ar- ranged that the sunlight shines on every part of the floor at some time during the day. This will be difficult in most houses, but should be kept in mind and provided for as much as possible. The building should be warm, for this is one thing that young animals need, and it will also be"a saving of feed for the older ones. If the floors and walls are kept dry and the mois- ture from the breathed air is allow- ed to escape without condensing in the building, the air is kept warm. Animals rarely suffer from the cold in a building in which the air is dry; on the other hand, if the air is full of moisture they are unable to stand much cold without noticeably suffer- ing from it. Qne of the most difficult problems in the barn for cattle is that of venti- lation. This is one feature that should never be overlooked and too much at- tention cannot be given to it. This has been one of the perplexing prob- lems for many years, as it was almost impossible to ventilate many of the cattle barns through the windows without a draught, owing to the low ceilings and the variation in the di- rection of the winds. This has been overcome by the engineer who is now able to construct special air tubes and shafts which carry the air to and away from the building. A well ven- tilated building is not close and stuffy and in such a building the air that is breathed out by the animals passes out while fresh air is passing into the buikling. The ceiling should not he too low. as this interferes with the ventilation and also with the pro- vision of sunlight; it should be at leastten feet in height and higher would be preferable. In building the barn, plenty of room should be provided for each animal that it is intended should be housed or kept in it; it is poor policy to crowd animals in an effort to conserve space. The doors should be so arranged that the cows will not have any high sills to step over, upon which they may be injured. If concrete is used for the floor, it should be roughed so that it will not he slippery and possibly cause an injury to some animal that may slip on it. The doors should be wide enough so that pregnant anim- als do not insure themselves by strik- ing their sides on them. When constructing a building of this kind, one thing that should al- ways be kept in mind is sanitation. In most sections it would seem that lumber is still the most desirable ma- terial with which to put up the ord- ;nar•v fa•m building; concrete block; are liked by some and make a very good building. Concrete seems to make the most satisfactory floor that can he used in the cattle barn, The ease of cleaning should always be kept in mind for this is a part of the daily program. The location of the building is im- portant. First of all it should be lo- cated where it has good drainage; if it does not have good natural drain- age, then sub -surface drainage should be provided, for a building placed in a low, wet place will be damp and sold most of the time. If possible, locate away from the winds that bring the storms and cold weather. it should be as near the other farm buildings; it should be so arranged that the ordinary winds do not carry riders from it to the residence. Place the windows and doors as much as ressible away from the storm winds The sunlight should be taken into ac- count inlocating this building as this is a very important factor in keeping the 'herd) healthy and comfortablet. Keep in mind the sanitary and hy- gienic measures that you know are so essential for the health and com- fort of your herd, and also the labor and time that you must devote to their care when you are planning and lo- cating your cattle barn. Equipment will depend somewhat upon the individual, his location and the climate, the availability of labor and possibly some other factors that we have overlooked; the labor ques- tion, especially where it must be pro- vided from sources outside the fam- ily, is a very difficult one and should always be taken into consideration. The interior of the barn should be so arranged that the operator can cary on each operation with/as little inconvenience as possible. Things to be thought of in this connection are ringing of the bulls, castration of bull calrves, cleaning of pens, watering and !feeding, etc. Calf pens, calving pens ;and the like should be easily cleaned and disinfected for they will need it In most sections of the United States the provision of good houses for cattle will pay in the increase in returns that will be secured from the animals. The saving in the labor of caring for the animals is another very important factor. The satisfaction that is to be derived from the use of good buildings is not to be overlook- ed, and there can be no question but that it has some bearing upon the, kinrl of help one is able to keep. Climatic conditions have much to do with the hest types of house to use. in eonthern states where the weather; is warm and seldom gets colder than freezing, the hrmsing problem is a very simple one; in the rolrier parts' f the United States where it gets ex- t. -sorely cold it is advisable to have better censtrueted building which can be kept warm throughout the yr'ar. it would he impossible to say inyt :vh t type ny barn is Inst for each —seen sea snob hprrl it the !T"te•� rf"tois, b"t there Ire certnin distinct r,. urea the', each harp pis• Seca that 're common to all sections end under practically all conditions Other features cyan hest be provi-de.! for as they will fit into local condi- tions and the desires of the owner.

THE PITRON EXPOSITOR `.ofzten with a large herd of ct'E' le. To facilitate the labor problems, water cups that are automatic can be installed for each animal; they are very convenient and no doubt add en- ough in the production of the animals to pay for themselves in a short while. To assist with the feeding, a feed car- rier which operates on an overhead track may be used. On the same type of track a litter carrier can be used for the cleaning out of the stalls. Feed troughs of galvanized iron are desir- able on account of ease in 'keeping clean. Ventilation can best be provided by a regularly built system of air tubes installed for that purpose alone; they give satisfaction and no progressive cattle owner should think of attempt- ing to build, a barn without them. Proper yards will depend upon the age, sex and number of animals. The yard space should be ample to allow the animals to take the necessary a- mount of exercise. In the summer season such lots should be large en- ough to provide pasture. Milk cows and young animals that are to be kept for breeding purposes are usually kept at pasture during the summer months. With young calves that are not old enough to eat grass they are often placed in small groups in small yards for exercise only; while those that are older and are not being fed by hand are turned into larger lots where they can have pasture. During the summer months the yards should have shade and plenty of fresh water; during the winter they should have a warm, dry shelter. The modern barn is usually supplied with a store room for the storage of grain feeds and also with a room for the storing of the utensils and appar- atus used about the barn; in this type of barn the roughage is usually stored in the loft. There are some objec- tions to this, but it saves labor. If the barn is not equipped in this way the feeding of a large number of cat- tle in bad weather becomes quite an arduous task. To insure prepotency and vigor in the bull that is to be used for breeding purposes, plenty of exercise. should •be provided at all times. . Bulls that are kept in close quarters with little or no exercise, and fed ordinary rations are often a disappointment. Exercise can be provided in a number of ways; the bull is sometimes used in a tread mill, and in other cases they are used on a sweep. The best way is to have a yard that is large enough for them to take what exercise they need. It is the common practice with some small farm herds to permit the bull to run with the cattle throughout the year; this is not a good practice and should be discouraged. The herd bull should always have a shelter that is dry and warm; it should be well ventilated and free from draughts and so arranged that it can be easily cleaned. In arrang- ing the building for the bull it should always be kept in mind that ease of handling and caring for the bull is a very important factor. During the cold weather the bedding must be ample to aid in keeping the animal warm. The building should be so ar- ranged that it will admit sunlight luring the greater part of the day; this can usunlly be taken care of by having it face to the south. Sun- light not only makes the animal more comfortable, but acts as a disinfect- ant and assists in keeping the build- ing warm and dry. If there are a number of young hulls which are for sale, it is often a good plan to divide them into a num- ber of small groups according to size and age and place them in a small lot or yard; if the breeding operations are te be at all extensive there must be a number of these small fields or lots for the many groups of animals that make up the herd. This shows them off to advantage and saves much time and labor in sorting them out and keeping a check on them. It is not a glad plan to place too many in one group due to the feeding difficul- ties. Small groups will do better than large ones; from 5 to 6 in one group is o better number than 10 or 12; but the latter number may be kept to- gether if the number of animals is un- usually large and the room to accom- modate them scarce. The young bulls should be separated from the heifers at not later than the sixth month, and in some cases it may be best to re- move them at the end of the fourth month. The cow should have plenty of ex- ercise at all times; it is a rare thing for her to take too much exercise, but it is a common thing for her to take too little. If the cows will get along together, it is advisable to let them run together and this is the common practice; however, if they fight or if there should happen to be a cross, quarrelsome one in the lot, she should be removed. It is best, if the room is available, to have them civided into small groups. During the summer months the cows on pas- ture get sufficient exercise; during the winter months they should have a large lot where they can exercise each day. The cow that does not get suf- ficient exercise is very likely to give birth to a calf that is not strong and vigorous. Exercise in the right amounts is conducive to ease at calv- ing time. Under no condition should coiws be kept in pastures or lots with young colts, horses or mules; they should not be kept in the same lots with hogs, especially near calving time. Exercisestimulates the excretbry organs of the body; this will tend to prevent milk -fever and other serious ronditions in the cow at calving time. It is the last few days of pregnacy that the average cow is very apt to fail to take the amount of exercise that she should have. The cow should be removed from the others in the Herd a few days be- fore calving and placed in a matern- ity stall especially arranged for the purpose. This stall should be so ar- ranged that it has plenty of sunlight and fresh air, without being subject to draughts- This is the best method to follow as it is possible to have this cleaned and disinfected after each cow has dropped her calf. If con- tagious abortion or other disease break out in the herd, this makes a very good way to handle the cows that are calving.. riven when the herd is free from all diseases, this is the best plan to follow. iss' In the modern cattle barn provision is usually made for the young calves; this calf pen is a very good thing for the young calves, especially during the winter, months. Where there is plenty of room not more than one or two calves shouldIreput in each pen, and they should be near • the same age; where the room is not so plenti- ful, it is possible to put three or four calves in the same pen. They should be kept together according to age. When the heifer calves have got- ten to the age where they should be weaned, they can be divided into small groups and placed in separate lots or yards according to size and age. Youngs heifers that are bred may be kept in small groups until almost calving time; they should then be handled just the same as the older cows. During the summer months ahe ag- ed cows as well as the heifers should have plenty of shade; if there is no natural shade it should be supplied by a shed. Fresh, pure cold water should be available; pasture is essen- tial for the successful and economical management of the herd. To insure exercise in the winter months, an op- en shed facing the south will do every well. The care of the young animals does not differ materially, from that given the older ones; they will not suffer from the same irregularities that older animals do. They do require a different ration than do older anim- als for they are growing; they will also take more exercise than oder animals. The young animals should have a good growing ration but should not be kept too fat. A ration that is too rich in fat -forming ele- ments will decrease their size and may injure them for breeding pur- poses. - lEn caring for young animals the fact should always be kept in mind that they are to be the future breed- ing herd. Healthy, vigorous animals are desired and factors similar to those that the animal would enjoy in the natural state are to'be•desired as much as possible in our caring for them. The domestication of our an- imals has brought about many chang- es in their habits that are very dif- ficult to regulate; the question of housing and feeding are two of them. In their wild state there was no need of sanitation and hygiene, while un- der demestication this is one of the most important factors that we have to contend with. The whole thought that we should have in mind in de- veloping young animals is the pro- duction of- good, strong, vigorous bodies with which they will be able to do the work that is expected of them.

With the advent of the tele- phone, the morale of law offenders began to weaken and the arm of the authorities was strengthened. Now comes the automobile as an accessory in crime -chasing and de- tection. And to it, in various cities of the States, is being added the advantage of radio communication with central headquarters. The Provincial Police of New Brunswick are using a fleet of Ford sedans for service with out- posts of the Moncton district with Police Sergeant Nicholson super- vising their operation. The total fleet of the same type of car n use throughout the Do- minion by the Customs -Excise Pre- ventive Service has been increased' recently to 78. These cars are used for border patrol work along the Canadian -United States boundary. They are operated over all kinds of roads and in all kinds of weather and temperatures. Records of per- formance have caused the service to standardize on this one type of. Canadian -built car. It is the exper- ience of police officials in all parts of the North American continent that the sedan type of car proves the most dependable and adaptable for police needs. "Shock" Service in Toronto "Shock troop" service is the use that Toronto police make of 25 Fords. A car is allocated to each district station and is in readiness at all times for cases that demand quick action. Chief of Police C. H. Newton, of Winnipeg, is among those who find added service in the availability of police cars. "The new fast, Iight ear is ad- mirably adapted to police work," he writes, adding: "I believe that before long they will supercode the motorcycles which are now being used for the purpose of regulating persons who drive recklessly." Close cost statistics were kept on two Ford sedans used by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police between June 2 and August 31, 1929. One was driven 8955 miles at a cost of $.0222 a mile and the other 8194 miles at a cost of $.0224 a mile. The first did 20.39 miles per gallon of gasoline and the second 19.48 miles. Repairs cost $14.65 for the first and $ 10.95 for the second. In the United States, Detroit and other cities have gone a step fur- ther and equipped motor fleets with radio, so that information may be sent to them while they are in mo- tion. Secrecy is maintained by the short wave lengths used by the police broadcasting stations. Since last April, more than 1000 import- ant arrests have been accomplish- ed in Detroit alone within three minutes from the time the warn- ing was broadcatit. New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and ether cities have large motet fleet's of "bandit chasers.' Il< t1tS;Y;�
