How the Wolf Outwits the Dog.

How the Wolf Outwits the Dog.
Timber is on the increase in Kansas.
Any farmer will tell you so. The
fences shield the young saplings, and
the prairie fires that used to sweep the
underbrush and leave the young trees
unprotected come no longer. But the
coming of the fences and the going of
the prairie fires have helped wolves.
There are more wolves in the country
now than there were thirty years ago.
The wolf is smart. He runs with his
head down and lodges under fences
The dog runs ITO the line" with his
head up. He runs into fences that the
wolf has led him TO. and the dog is cut
up and abandons the chase There
should be a larger bounty on wolves.
The growth of timber in Kansas will
more than pay the extra bounty. EN-

to walk through the grounds.
After spending about quarter of an
