THE “CATALO” A NEW
SOURCE OF MEAT FOOD
The "catalo,” reared in the re
gions of Texas, i sa hybrid of do
mestic cattle and the buffalo, and
may assist in the solution of the
problem which affects the supply
of meat. The catalo thrives in
arid countries, and is so hardy that
he can live on pastures which would
be poor picking for sheep, and his
meat is said to be equal to the best
of beef. The new species has
really been established, and there
are now a sufficient number of ca
taloes to make it safe to prophesy
that the new animal will play a
leading part in the future food sup
ply.
The range is the natural habitat
of the buffalo, and the catalo ap
pears to inherit from its wild pro
genitors this love o fthe open. Turn
the catalo loose in summer and
winter and it fattens much more
tapidly than domestic cattle would
in the same circumstance. The
experiments by which breeders
have finally produced the catalo
are interesting. They have suc
ceeded after many years of fruit
less efforts, because the two men
who were instrumental in discover
ing the secret of a successful cross
are wealthy as well as scientific,
and grudged neither money nor
trouble when it came to the possi
bility of establishing a new breed
af domestic animals.
PATRIOTISM EXAMPLIFIED
Yesterday through the United
States both in national and state
affairs all business was set aside
and patriotic exercises were held
lauding the memory of George Wash
ington, “Father 0f bis Country,, and
the first President of the United
States. The busniess men showed
their patriotism by closing for the
day or part of the day as the case
happened to be, but how about the
school, the public school where pat
riotism is supposed to be instilled
in the minds of the young by appro
priate exercises the day before the
Anniversary? Take our local school
where the children, “Young Ameri
cans,” were in attendance receiving
the usual instructions. From the
standpoint of a spectator on the
sidelines, can we truthfully say that
the local school board was in unison
with the patriotic feeling 'when they
required these Young Americans to
be on hand? Whether or not it
is just or unjust criticism of the
school officials it is nigh time to
suggest to the school board and the
instructors to set the twenty-second
of February as a day of veneration
and respect to the memory of
George Washington, for whom the
federal government has set aside in
particular, at which time we are
to mediate and recall his valiant ef
fort in bringing about this glorious
republic.
