PRAIRIE DOGS.

| the biologists were loaded for rabbit
so to speak, and they furnished the
forest people with harmless wash
TO soak their pine nuts In before plant

nursery stock which a self-respecting
rabbit win no more nibble than will
an ordinary human being smell auto

In this the biologists confessedIy
took a leaf out OF the book OF the
Pfute and other desert-dwelling In
dams. The Piutes have been caehing
food supplies of pine and pinion nuts
In the desert for hundreds of years
and they found that the rabbits. the
ground squirrels and prairie dogs
would clean out their cache. But
they found by experience that there
was a little desert weed that the
ground animals dIsliked excessively
and that anything dipped In a tea

But it is the very presence of the
forest reserves that has bred the

the reserves and they form nurseries
for game of all Sorts But 1t seems
that they breed wolves quite as fast
as they breed anything else. of which
fact the cattle raIsers have been made
painfully aware
In the days of the buffalo on the
plains, thousands of wolves lived on
the herds When the buffalo were
killed off the wolves disappeared also,
till there was not one where there used
to be a thousand Then he cattle
men began to stock the ranges, and
the wolves found conditions much the
same as In the buffalo days They

The biological survey has sent ont
Mr. Vernon Bailey, one Of It's best
men, to study the wolf problem. and

through Wyoming and Montana while
the snow was on the ground and the
wolves were particularly easy to track
