KILLING WOLVES.
Some OF the Methods Used to Get Rid OF
the Pests.


the Pests.
Whole families Of the animals are
sometimes asphyxiated in their dens
A wolf of the gray variety generally
makes its home by getting on the side
Of dirt guloh and burrowing straight
inward until safe distance from the
surface is reached There her young are
born and raised to sturdy cub estate.
When cowboy locates q den in
which he believes the entire family to
be gathered, a composite mass of cotton,
saturated with damp flour sulphur and
other noxious smelling substances, ia
thrust into the den and set on fire. The
mouth of the hole is then filled with
clay tamped down solidly, and the i'm
prisoned wolves are speedily suffocated
within. In this way from to 10 and
IL wolves, young and old, are wiped
out at one stroke.
Another effective method 10 to bore
four or more holes in flat piece of
board and plug them up with beef fat
soaked in strychnine. The odor of the
fat attracts any wolves that may be in
the vicinity, and they lick the fat vora-
ciously until the leaveIipg of poison
does its work upon them and they drop
dead. Very often as many as a dozen
wolves are killed off by this process be-
fore the fat in the holes is exhausted.
Stryohnine inclosed in capsules is also
used. The capsule is thrust into slit
cut in chunk of beef, and the wolf,
boiling the meat whole, falls an easy
victim. Steel traps, baited with raw
beef, are also tried with fair success. -

ARBITK ALTON.

We find now in agitation
Arbitration between nations;
Compromise its near relation,
Wrecked us the other day.
Wrong is wrong and arbitration
Neer will right wrong condition;
Might, but takes new position
Keeping right at bay.
Opposition, competition,
Trust and pool and combination
Ruled by turn the monied quack,
Arbitration now presents us,
Conditions theory confronts us
With cult we cannot trust,
When the cheerless past we rack.
Wrong exists in state and nation,
Which we'd cure 10y arbitration;
While armed truce secure foundation
Otmight, from right can plunder,
America, Turkey, Behring's sea,
Troubles the land and ocean free;
While the fierce lurk we bait in glee,
Gaunt want stalks our nose under.
