DESTROYING WOLVES AND
COYOTES,

From The Farmer and Breeder.
Through the efforts of DR.. M. e.
knowles, state veterinarian, the state
OF Montana, has adopted a law and
made an approximation with the view
of destroying the wolves and coyotes
or that state, so as to protect the sheep
industry.
The plan is to capture or raise a
large umb Of puppies or cubs Of
these animals, and infect them with
mango and then turn them loose. It
is thought that these infected animals
Will communicate the disease to many
others OF their species, and that many
OF the animals that contract the dis
ease Will die during the coming WIN
ter when the weather is cold and the
feed scarce.
There is little question but what
this will result in the destruction Of
many of the wolves and coyotes, but
1T is not so certain that the disease can
be confined to these animals. While
the mango is supposed not to be trans

yet there is no reason for believing
that 1t will not be spread from these
to dogs, and from one dog to
another and to cats. But then this
might not be any serious loss to the
sheep man, for If most of the dogs
were dead it would be a benefit to
them. On the other hand the diseas.
could be cured should a valuable dcs
become affected. So that it may re-
suit in the destruction of a lot OF
worthless dogs as well as coyotes and
wolves. However, the experiment will
be watched with considerable interest
