of the herd, weighs nearly 5000 pounds
and is as fine n specimen az ever trod
the western wilds. with crest like Il
storm cloud through which flashes n
dangerous light from his eyes when in
anger. He has the beard of u prophet
and back like old Atlas that might
bear aloft world upon its broad ex-
panse, his horns measuring 14i inches
in circumference Mt the base Although
it is not safe to trust the buffalo too
far, yiciousness is not a predominating
trait of the animal. Many of them are
quite docile and will feed from the
hand. In his attempts to subjugate
them Mr.. Jones and his attendants had
to use pitchforks to control them,
adopting methods similar to those used
to subiugating elephants The pitch
or goads, which finally needed only to
be shown to command q respectful
obeyance from Mr.. Buffalo.
The cunning brutes were quick to
learn whether person appearing
among them was armed with the goad
or not, and no sooner did the intelli-
gent animal find that he was not than
he began Mt once an aggressive cam
paign against the intruder.
Many of the men carry II small goed
under their coats, which if shown is all
sufficient. The females are almost as
docile rs domestic cows and are regu-
larly MIXED by the attendants. One
thing that attracts the attention of the
visitor to their winter quarters is the
entire absence of any kind of shelter.
Throughout the whole of the last
severe winter the herd has not had n
board to shelter them from the most
rigorous days. They love the storm
aud 60 wild with delight over n driving,
whirling blizzard.
This band of buffalo known rs the
Jones herd is the largest collection of
these animals in the world, and is truly
the last hope for the perpetration of
this noble race. Its existence is almost
wholly due to the energy, pluck, and
patriotism OFF. G. Jones-better known
as "Buffalo" Jones-an old time buffalo
hunter and contemporary of Buffalo
Bill, with whom he is entitled to divide
honors both i'll Europe and America
Mr. Jones is an experienced plainsman,
and made his home in the haunts of
these animals in the years gone by.
Always an admirer OF this noble ami
NAL, their pitiless fate enlisted his
sympathy. With such a man as Buf-
falo Jones to think was to act, and he
resolved to rescue the last of the buffalo
To this end he established ranch and
built corrals at Garden City, Kan, as
,ase from which to make excursions
to their haunts in the fs- ,thwest, in

they could take the alternative of stay
ing with him or perishing in n hope
less attempt to reach home. The men
chose the lesser of the two evils, stayed
and lived to participate in an expedi-
ton that will go down to history.
Through all of these dangers for forty
weary days the buffalo hunters rode
over these arid, treeless plains in
search OF the "little brownies" who
were TO perpetuate an almost extinct
race.
The buffalo calf very closely re-
sembles in color the dry grass and soil
of the plains, and many an embryo
bison king has been spared from .he
fangs of the wolf when its mother was
not near by its resemblance to n tuft
of grass. On several occasions Mr..
Jones and his men had close encounters
with these hungry scavengers of the
desert. Once when having several
calves in his charge he took off one
garment after another and tucked them
under the collars of the different calves
and thus preserved them from attack
until the wagon could he secured.
Their escape was due to the well-known
fact that prairie wolves will not molest
anything that has the scent of human

order to secure animals from which to
perpetrate the race. On his first ex-
cursion he and his assistants captured
grown animals, but these soon died,
apparently determined not to live in
captivity. In their fury they often
broke their necks in frenzied charges
against the walls of the corral. Salts
fed that the grown animals were q
failure, Mr.. Jones resolved to capture
young calves, but at first this plan too
was unsuccessful, us the condensed
milk upon which he was obliged to feed
them did not agree with them, and they
also died.
All of these experiments took valua-
BILE time, and the hunters and Indians
were driving the scattering herds of
buffalo farther and farther into the
southwest. But such difficulties never
dsunted the spirit of Buffalo" Jones.
In 1883 he organized an expedition at
Garden City. which lie determined

venturer pre-empted their inheritance.
Those who have seen the Jones herd

witnessed picture of the last of the
buffalo that no painter can rival. The
herd numbers sixty, and for about one
year past has been kept in an inclosure
well boarded up and resembling State
fair ground, located about five miles
northwest of the centre of Omaha. just
inside the board fence is well built
and plentifully barbed wire fence,
which is the only kind of fence that
will hold his lordship, the buffalo bull.
Two of the largest males of the herd
are named Sullivan and Corbett, re-
spectively, because of their belligerant
qualities. The big buffalo Sullivan

should be and which was successful.
The expedition started April ] and re-
turned in July of the same year. They
captured thirty-seven calves and saved
thirty two of them, all of them under
six months old.
"Buffalo" Jones took with him on
this expedition twenty fresh milk cows
TO feed the captured calves. No per-
son who has not crossed these arid
lands, stretching into the illimitable
distance with nothing but sky and
plain, without tree or hill, no birds,
no noise, only the silence of the desert,
can comprehend the terrors of such a
journey. Weak men tremble and
strong men grow mad in the presence
of this awful solitude.
After travelling many days on the
great plains of Texas his men mutinied
and refused to so farther They were
terrified at the solitude and determined
to 60 back. Mr.. Jones told them that

The bison, popularity known as the
buffalo, is purely an American animal,
and differs widely in form and habits
from the true buffalo, which is ma
tive OF Africa and India. The monarch
of our own plains is the American
bison. He is magnificent beast, with
n shaggy name covering his massive
head and shoulders, weighing when
full grown sometimes over 2000
pounds, and measuring from the
ground TO the top of his hump often
is so heavy that Il strong man can
scarcely lift it.
Bison were once found oil over the
Mississippi Valley as far east as the
Allegheny Mountains, and the battles
of the red man are not the only con-
fiicts that occurred upon the western
plains. These monarch of the virgin
heath often engaged in deadly con-
fiict, and their loud bellowings of rage
and anger as they rushed to the fray
rolled like muttering thunder and the
plains trembled beneath the rock.
Many of the earlier travellers across
the plains have noticed conical holes in
the prairie, which were filed with
water after each rainstorm. These
holes are still to be found in the re-
mote portions of the Western States
They are called buffalo wallows and
were made by this animal paving the
dirt out for a considerable space and

being about it. Mr.. Jones killed his
last buffalo on this trip. 1t was re-
markable shot he made, bringing down
a huge bison on the run at 800 yards
without sight on his rifle. This
buffalo was killed as necessity to re-
plenish the depleted larder of the ex-
petition. These calves were taken to
Garden City, where they grew and
prospered. The first and also the last
calf captured are in the present herd
and are named Alpha and Omega re-
spectively. This band now consists of
thirty head of full-blooded buffalo and
ten head of catalO. II has been de-
pleted by frequent sales, made neces-
sary to defray the expense of keeping
them. The animals sold have gone to
private collections all over the country
and even to Europe. In fact, nearly
nll of the bun..:,,o now in existence have
been sent ont at one time and another
from the animals captured on these ex-
petitions.
Mr.. Jones took herd of ten full
bloods to Europe in 1890. These
animals, like most native Americans,
became seasick on the voyage, placed
their noses ON the deck and groaned in
distress, but soon recovered upon
reaching the land. They awakened no
end of curiosity in Liverpool, and the
London Graphic sent special artist to
sketch them, while all of the great
dailies gave much space to descrip-
tion of these strange animals from over
the sea-
''Buffalo" Jones has made thorough
study of the habits of these animals,
and by careful experiments in crossing
with native cattle has produced race
which he calls the catalo, magnificent
creature. The head is less clumsy, the
hump less prominent, and the hinder
parts more symmetrical than in the
buffalo. The catalo is far superior to
the domestic animal for beef Steaks
cut from its dressed carcass are de.
licious, and il has been proved that
100 pounds mo.e of porterhouse steak
can be cut from the dressed cstalo than
from the ordinary steer.
The females of this race are very
superior mixers, and, although the
quantity is not 30 abundant, the milk
is far richer than that OF the Jersey.

to be very pleasant resort directly
after rain, when full of water, as he
could dislodge the troublesome gad-
flies and at the same time scratch his
own back in a land where rubbing

The history of the wanton destruo-
tion Of these animals by hunters and
amateur sportsmen is q chapter of
shame.
In 1872 there were killed by white
hunters nearly 1900, 900. The next
year more than this number. In the
space of three years 8,168, 739 were
butchered by white men, and half Of
