This is the way buffaloes are hunted
on the staked plains of the far South
west: The buffaloes collect in countless
herds for water, and it is at the water
holes they are captured. The leader is
first shot by q long-range gun, this de-
moralizes the herd, and the shooting
may be continued at pleasure. They
are killed for the value of their hides,
say eighty or ninety cents, and the car
casses are left to perish. Two hundred
thousand head have already been
slaughtered, and it is estimated there
will be three hundred and fifty thousand
before the season is over.
