THE LAST OF THE BUFFALO.
From Letter to the President of the Senate.

|
SW-In response to the resolution
of the Senate, dated January 80,
1902, l have the honor to submit the
following reply:
I. The American bison is on the
verge of determination. Scarcely a
handful now remain of the millions
which formerly roamed over the
plains of the West.
2. So far as the department is aware
only two small herds of wild buffalo
are IN existence in the United States
-one IN Yellowstone park. the other
In Lost Park, Colorado. During the
past autumn several Of the latter herd
were killed and while the department
has no recent information as to the
exact number of animals in these
herds at the present time, it has rea-
sou to believe that the Yellowstone
herd doee not esxeeed- -tvven.y 6~e A..d
the Lost park herd eight or ten in
dividuals.
3. There are no wild buffalo in
Canada, except in the Peace river
country, where few woodland buffa-
10, believed to be a different species
from our plains buffalo, exist.
d. A number of buffalo have been
domesticated and half domesticated.
In addition to the small herds in
geological parks and in the hands of
private individuals there are three
important herds the Corbin herd on
the game preserve of the Blue Noun
tain Forest association in New Hamp-
shire, the Allard herd on the Flat
head Indian reservation in Montana,
and the Goodnight herd Containing
about a hundred cross breeds) at
Goodnight, Tex.
S. Both the Allard and Goodnight
herd consist in part of cross-breeds
known as "cataloes," +" obtained by
crossing buffalo bulls with domestica-
ted cows. Mr.. c. J. Jones, the orig
inator of this breed, states that he
has succeeded in crossing the buffalo
with almost all the different breeds Of
cattle, but that he considers the Gal
loway aud the Polled Angus the best
for this purpose.
E. Recent information indicates
that the Allard herd is being broken.
Thirty-fve animals were sold last
year, and number of others within
the past few months. If the govern
ment could acquire possession of these
buffalo they might he placed on some
reservation, under competent manage
ment, and if properly protected could
be preserved indefinitely. Unless this
is done there is little or no hope of
maintaining the herd in its entirety.
So far as known the Goodnight herd
is not for sale, but a proposition has
several times been presented to Con-
gress regarding the reservation of GER
tain public lands in New Mexico for
their preservation. Under proper
restrictions this plan might result in
the perpetuation of the herd for some
7. Should the Government acquire
possession of considerable number
of full blooded animals it is possible
that the absolute determination of the
species might be long delayed. To
avoid danger of destruction by cpl
demic disease and deterioration by too
close inbreeding, the government herd
should be divided and kept in at least
two widely separated localities. This
would admit of interchange of blood
when necessary.

AWAY OUT IN THE COUNTRY.

Away out in the country
Where there is no clang and roar.
Where it's eight miles to the railroad
And it's three miles to the store,
There is peace and there is quiet;
Men are not contending there
For the powers that seem precious
To the greedy Millionaire.
Away out in the country
Surly teamsters do not try
To run men down, unless they
Pass the crossing on the fly;
A schemer isn't waiting
Everywhere man may look
To rush In and get his earnings
All away by hook or crook.
Away out in the country
Where the woods are full of joy,
And the hens are cackling loudly
AT the sunburned farmer boy,
There Is never any crowding,
There is room out there to spare,
And the people aren't breathing
Flying rubbish with their air.
Away out in the country
Where the lilacs Sweetly blow
People don't pay out dollar
To behold q ten-cent show;
Men are not looked on with pity
just because their clothes don't lt,
And the women don't go mourning
When the servants up and quit.
Away out in the country
Where the waters cool and sweet,
And the knife's useful weapon
When the hungry people eat,
There is not the constant jangle,
Nor mad changing that subdues
And distracts the city poet
When he seeks to court the muse.
Away out in the country
Where the funerals are few,
And the people keep apprised of
All the things that neighbors do.
Here and there some queer old fellow
May not banker to put down
The tools the farmer has to use,
And move away to town.

WANTS TO KEEP BEES.

A reader wants to know what it
takes to commence with, and about
how many colonies one person can at
tend to, giving the business about
half of his time.
How to begin beekeeping depends
to some extent upon the amount of
knowledge one may have of the bust
ness before he begins. If he is strict
ly an amateur, and has no knowledge
of scientific beekeeping, he should
study the subject some before going
into it. One may begin successfully
with one or two colonies, and with
the assistance of books on the latest
management of bees, soon learn the
entire business, and this would be
proper way to start.
There are plenty of good works on
bee culture that give all the details in
their management besides number
of monthly and weekly bee journals
that will keep one posted on the latest
discoveries and improvements. With
thorough study of some good text
book, and few colonies of bees to
practice on, to prove to yourself the
truth of what you read, you can soon
master all there is to it.
On the other hand, if one has
knowledge of the business to some
extent, he may start in with more
bees, but unless he is an expert, it is
not safe to go in too deep. Failure
would be sure to follow one who
would buy out some large apiary,
and start it without experienced help,
if he had but little knowledge of the
business himself. The matter of
starting with bees with the intention
of going into it extensively, depends
somewhat upon your locality as
good honey producer or whether or
not many bees are there kept. Lo-
calities may be overstocked, SO that
the crop of honey cannot reach
profitable basis. But this is rather
the exception in most localities.
One person can easily attend to 100
colonies and give them half his time.
