The Disappearing Bison.

Secretary Wilson urges congression-
al action to save what few specimens
of the splendid bison family still sur
vive. The determination of this noble
animal which once roamed the plains
of the West in herds of countless
thousands seems inevitable but it
should be delayed as long as possible.
Two generations ago. and even gem
lions OF wild buffalo on the plains.
The march of civilization has swept
them before it; countless numbers s
were killed for their hides and great
herds were blotted out by purposeless
hunters whose only aim was to slay.
The fate of the buffalo is the fate of
big game all over the world, though
the buffalo, the most majestic of
Americas Mild animals, is nearer ex-
termination than the other varieties
of our time.
In his letter to the Senate, Secretary
Wilson says that the number of wild
bison now in the United States is only
33 or possibly 35. We hardly under
stand these figures. There are GER
tainly several hundred bison in cap
tivity in parks, preserves, reservations.
etc, but perhaps the secretary only al
ludes to those that still range at
large. 1t is hard to see how the figures
in that case can be accurate. We have
recently seen an interview with John
Philip, one of the great cattle men of
the Dakotas, and the owner of one of
the largest ranches in the country near
Fort Pierre. He has been experiment.
ing with cross breeds of the buffalo for
f, the past ten years, and he says that the
proposed experiments to be carried on
| by the department of agriculture will
| fail to produce any good results. A
number of years ago Mr.. Philip con-
ceived the idea of raising buffalo in
| captivity, and for the experiment
| fenced in large pasture on his ranch,
making the fence of wire and setting
the posts but five feet apart in order
| to make it sufficiently strong. In this
pasture he now has 81 full blooded
buffalo, one of the largest of the few
remaining herds in the country. In
this pasture there are also some 75
half breeds. the buffalo having been
crossed with the different breeds of
cattle in an effort to find a cross that
would produce a good animal for the
butchers block. His efforts have fail
ed, however, and in his opinion 1t is
useless to make further efforts in this
line.
According to Mr.. Philip, the cross
breeding of the buffalo and the various
breeds of cattle, combined the bad
points of our native cattle and of the
buffalo. 1t spoiled the hides for max
ing robes, and the meat was not as
good as that of the regular beef steer
Mr.. Philips says it is all right to talk
about what shame it is that the buff
falo are disappearing, but that, after
10 years effort to make them of some
use, he has decided that nothing but
failure can come Of the experiments
and will be glad when they are all gone
and forgotten. 1T is all right to be
sentimental about it, but the facts are
that the buffalo is not worth much and
never was" They are very valuable
