FATE OF EUROPEAN BISON.
Revolutions in Russo. Cause De-
crease in Number of 14lese
Animals.

An interesting side effect of the re-
bellion and perhaps revolution of
which we read in Russia is the possible
speedy extinction of species of ami
NAL which for many years has been
jealousy protected by the car. In
times of national peace and content
ment the European bison lives in the
imperial forests of Lithuania, presuma-
bbly unmolested; but whenever there is
rising in Poland and the rebels take
to the woods they use this herd Of
bison as part of their commissary
and kill them for beef.
For many years, says Forest and
Stream, there has been gradual less
ening in numbers of this herd, which
by many biologists is thought to be
due to inbreeding; yet there are others
who believe that the decrease in this
protected herd, which so years ago
numbered nearly 1900 and which lives
wild in it's native habitat, is too rapid
to be accounted for solely by inbreed-
ing, and must be due to destruction by
man. Notwithstanding the efforts made
by the authorities to protect them.
Statistics of the Bielowitza herd in
Grodno show that between 1888 and
1857 these bison increased from 768 to
1898, but from this time on the de-
crease has been constant until in 1892
the herd numbered less than 500.
The butchery of human beings in
Russia which is reported to be taking
place on a scale quite unparalleled in
times of peace for the last hundred
years, stirs the emotions of the world;
yet biologists will view with keen re-
gret the diminution of the European
bison, which for hundreds of years has
been preserved from extinction only
by the very hand that brought its num-
bers so low.
OF the herd of these bison which in
habits the mountains of the Caucasus,
in the province of Kuban, we know lit
tie or nothing, but the same causes
which seem likely to bring about the
absolute determination of the herd in
Grodno will be operative in the Cau-
casus, and the race seems likely now
to receive blow from which it can
never recover.
On one or two estates in Europe and
in few geological gardens there are
living specimens of these bison, but
their number are very few Perhaps
the little herd belonging to the prince
of Pless is the most numerous.

CURING HORSE OF BAD HABIT
What Is Better Than Muzzle in
Keeping Animal from Gnaw-

notice that your veterinary advised
placing a muZzle on horse or mule to
keep him from gnawing the woodwork
of his stall, writes correspondent of
Rural New Yorker. This would be a
troublesome remedy, as it would have
to be removed every time the animal
was fed. / have found that by paint
ing the woodwork with coal tar the
worst wood-gnawing horses would
never bite it afterward. The tar should
be put on while hot. An old broom or
whisk brush may serve as a paint
brush. / have also found way to
cure a horse biting his halter strap or
rope by boiling the rope in water in
which bar of cheap washing soap
has been dissolved. This remedy tried
never failed. One horse, when / first

two almost as soon as tied. A small
soaped rope cured him completely.
That was nearly ten years ago and il

AFTER DEFEAT.
Is Convinced That Voters
Will Eventually See En-
ror of Their Ways.

The following letter. which is self
explanatory was received last night
from Governor Bfoward:
Tallahassee, Fla, Nov. 9. 1906.
Editor Pensacola Journal:
Dear Sir:-As governor of the
State OF Florida, desire to thank
you for the patriotic fight that Won
made during the campaign Just
closed, in behalf of the proposed
amendment to the Constitution. Gre
ating Drainage Commissioners. au-
thorlzlng them to lay out Drainage
District and levy an acreage tax
therein, upon all of the taxable, al
luvial, swamp and overlooked lands.
1t is true that we have defeated in
the first skirmish, but as soon as the
voters have had time to think and
reason, they Will with practicable
unanimity, thank you for the pa
triotic service that you have endeay-
ored to render them and the State u
Florida. No unprecedented voter, or
voters, who had not some Interior
motive, would vote to make himself
and his neighbors pay out of the pro-
ceeds of the sale of portions of their
less than three million acres of land,
for the drainage of not only it, but
the four and one-half million acres
of land in the same district. owned
| by nine land syndicates. When the
voters find out that we, as Trustees,
must continue to dig with the two
dredges built from the money derived
| from the sale of their swamp and
overflowed lands, thereby retaining
the millions of acres of land already
given to the corporations, they will
see that they were misled in voting
against the amendment. 1t, IS an i'm
position upon the people to compel
/ the Trustees to sell for them lands at
$50 an acre, with which to drain not
only their lands, but the railroad
lands, where if the amendment had
been adopted, and the corporations
thereby compelled to pay what they
already owe, we would not have been
compelled to sell any more OF our
land, until the first main drainage
canal was cut, and the land had IN
creased in value from $50 an acre 10
$500 to $4,000? an acre, but We must
hone that the court will decide the
Act constitutional, of which ACT 'the
amendment was a copy.
Again thanking you, | beg to re-
main,
Yours very truly,
'. n. B. BROWARD,
Governor.
