WOLVES IN THE NORTH.
Moatsns's savage Gray wolf-Increass Of
Wolves In wisconsin.

lfontana's savage Gray Wolf-IncreasO Of
Wolves In Wisconsin.
The gray wolf, the bane of the cattle
man end fockmaster, appears to multi
ply and flourish in defiance of the efforts
of the hunter and the price set upon
his head. Advices from all sections
Of the range country report that gray
wolves are as numerous and destructive
as ever. Range riders are witnesses
to the fact that the fattest and strong
est steers are frequently overcome by
these ferocious beasts, while the weak
and infirm surrender to their attacks
almost without struggle. The live
stock loss of Montana from this source
cannot be calculated, but from the ma
lure of the case IL must be tremendous.
Professional hunters state that the
gray wolf is an exceptionally difficult
animal to circumvent; his cunning Is
remarkable, and his suspicious nature
,auses him to avoid any locality which
lis keen senses notify him has been
Invaded by his human enemy. He is not
/ gregarious animal, preferring to roam
II small punches, which prevents such
plished if large band should fall with
u the power of the hunter. He avoids
poisoned bats and dead carcasses; he
3 essentially beast of prey, prefer
ring fresh meat all the time, and when
the pangs of hunger are felt he starts
put to find something with warm blood
In It.
For these reasons, wolf-hunting is
an extremely slow and precarious occu-
cation; trapping, chasing and shooting
pre- practically the only methods that
produce results, and attractive induce
ments are necessary to encourage hunt
srs to engage in that work as q means
Of livelihood.
Beyond any doubt the timber wolf
is fast gaining in numbers in the woods
of northern Wisconsin. until it is al
most unsafe for a man without means
of defense to be found out alone over
night in the depths of these forests.
In the counties Of Bayfield,, Washburn
and Douglas they are reported in great
numbers, and, although they are hunted
for the bounty, their numbers seem
to increase instead of decrease, in late
years. A hunter returning home one
night not long ago, in Washburn county,
is reported to have killed seven out Of
pack that kept him a prisoner in a
tree for some hours. 1t was but a. few
weeks ago that young woman near
Spooner, while returning home alone
at night. was compelled to seek refuge
in tree to save her life from a pack of
wolves. Many sheep, calves and hogs
have fallen prey to their depredations,
and the time is coming when for human
safety and protection to property
these animals will have to be driven
out. In winters of deep SNOW they are
not nearly so bold. Other game, such
as deer and rabbits being plentiful,
the deep snow makes them easy prey.
But this winter especially more COM
plnints of their boldness are heard than
ever before, and it would seem from
such that their numbers have greatly
increased.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

FROZEN MUTTON.
Preparation OF the New Zealand Product
for the Market.

for the Market.
The reason why Argentine mutton
generally is of inferior price to that OF
New Zealand has three-fold explana.
tion. In the first place New Zealand
possesses to-day a producing
breed superior to that known in the
Plate. In the second, the New Zealand.
en- feeds his stock during the winter
time with extra forage, while in the Ar
gentine the sheep are allowed to Craze
upon the same bare pampa during the
dead season. The result of this is that
the New Zealander produces an even,
well-grown carcass, while there is sent
home from the Plate one upon which
hasty covering of fat has been put dur.
ing the spring months of the year. The
difference between the two carcasses
will readily be noted by anyone who
pays a visit to the cattle market. Third
ly, the freezer in New Zealand freezes
the mutton on account of the breeder;
and in the Argentine the freezer buys
from the breeder. The disadvantage of
the latter system, so long as the breeder
has no knowledge of the requirements
of the market, is apparent. The New
Zealand breeder selects his wethers
with care. rejecting any which will give
an inferior weight, or which are in
sufficiently fattened for the butcher.
He RENTS them in small droves to the
freezing establishments, and takes
every care that they shall arrive in per-
feet order. The Argentine breeder, on,
the other hand, makes a contract with
the representative of the freezer to sell
a given number; and the latter binds
himself to remove them within certain
date.-N Y. Ledger.

An IMPROVED WHITE HOUSE
The Presidential Family to Havs Greater
ConvenienOes.

The Presidential Family to Have 0reaser
Convsnienees.
The residence of the president Of the
United States ought to be worthy Of
the Office. The present white house is
equal to all the requirements of such
q residence, SO far as 1t goes. It is a
simple and dignified building, whose
beauty il q constant delight to appre-
ciative persons. Il was conceived and
carried out by the architect who
planned It in the proper spirit, but it is
lot large enough for the uses to which
it ia necessarily put. The country and
the city Of Washington have grown, and
the presidents house have not grown
with them. A large part of it is given
up to the business offices Of the presi-
dent, his private secretary, and his
clerks, and the presidents family are
deprived of the use of another large
part Of the lower floor of the house be-
cause it is necessarily on public view
most of the time. The family is there
fore cramped for proper accommo-
dations, and there are no rooms for the
entertainment of guests. Moreover,
the house is so badly arranged as to
entrances, exits, and Railways that a
state reception there Is always an un-
comfortable and dangerous jam, while
many All invited guest, and many off,
GERS who attend certain functions under
orders, have been made seriously i'll be
cause they have been compelled to
stand for hours in cold or stormy wealth
er until they could gain admittancc
through the single door that can be
used for the purpose.
The deficiencies of the white house
are SO thoroughly recognized in WASH
ington that for many years efforts
have been making to secure worth
ier accommodations for the president.
Some of these efforts have been in the
wrong direction. because they have
contemplated other buildings, foreign
to the intent and character of the white
house, within the same grounds. Other
efforts still are attempts of spectators
to move the site of the mansion to the
hills north of the city.
The white house, with all it's charnui
and memories, should be preserved, and
it should remain on. it's present beau
tiful and historic site, it's fine grounds
unencnmberd by other structures. In
furtherance of this idea, a plan pre-
pared by Mr.. Arthur j. Dillon shows
conclusively that the white house can
be made, not only abundantly spacious,
but even Improved, while it's architec-
tural features will be at the same time
preserved.-Hafper'sW Weekly.
