Then, the tows are savage demons or protecting angels, according to the point of view. But from whatever point of view one looks at them, they demand the abso- lute respect of every visitor who would inspect or photograph the babies.
 As entered the tree-dotted yard where the COWS and their little calves were quartered, had two assistants a magazine editor from New York, in search of the simple life, and good "Bill' Morrison, Scotchman. who has spent l5 years of his life handling the "Corbin" buffaloes. The cows lost little time in showing their mettle. and the first photograph l got was one of my friend the editor, perched we'll up in a tree. where, like sensible fellow that he vas, he remained until hos tilities were over Morrison did what be could to drive the COWS to points where they might be photographed. but they were in no humor to be driven. and several times he had to sprint to friendly trees and fences. At last l saw a fair chance for a picture. and. camera in hand, went out for shot. The COW was standing with her tawny calf peeping from beneath. her harry neck, and l stepped carefully toward her, focusing as went. She was look ing right at me with flashing eyes, all the while paving the earth, and occa- sionally letting out a hoarse grunt, with such force that 1t shook her body from end to end I continued to ad- vance. aware of an occasional warning word from Morrison, but anxious to get a fair-sized image before releasing the shutter. But never got that pie ture. for the COW put her head to the ground, end I knew exactly what that meant. I reached a certain tree before she did. and the next instant we were all playing tag around the trunk of 1t. Fortunately. the calf decided not to follow. and with parting snort. tho COW went of to join him.

At this time, when the American people seem to have definitely made up their minds to save the last remnants of the vast horde of bison which once covered the western plains as with a robe, 1t is of interest to know how far this great wild creature can be made to conform to the present con- ditions of the country, and whether or nor he can be tanned and added to mans list of useful domestic animals. Not that either the success or failure of an attempt 10 domesticate him should affect the matter of his preser- vation. for, apart from all question of utility, there are hundred good and sufficient reasons why Americans
