Or. VIII. LYLE, SHEEP INSPECTOR,
ON COYOTE DETERMINATION

At the recent meeting of the state
HooIgrowers association held in The
Dalles, is was decided to devote the
month Of January to warfare against
coyotes. It is estimated that the
sheepmen of the state lose $4,000
annually through the depredations Of
the coyote and in view Of this It 10
not surprising that the growers are
up in arms against the evil.
The following paper upon the SUBJ
jcct Of how to deal with predatory
wild animals was read at the con-
Vention by DR.. w. H. Lytle, state
sheep inspector:
Losses from the destruction of
stock by wolves and coyotes in the
territory west of the Mississippi val
ley amounts to millions Of dollars an
nually. Instead Of being lessened by
the influence of settlement. the de-
structive invasion of the coyotes seems
TO be on the increase, notwithstand-
ing the fact that several OF the west
eFn states have in the past appropr.-
ated sufficient money, to be paid In
the form of liberal bounties, for the
destruction of predatory wild ami
mails
The coyote is especially notorious
as an enemy Of the sheep industry
and in certain localities, especially
where flocks are run in small num-
bers and maintained under fence
without the guardianship of a herd
er, sheep raising has greatly Ian
guished because of the depredations
Of these animals. Nor is the extern
sive owner the only one who has been
caused to suffer; the rancher and
new homesteader pays yearly tribute
in losses of poultry, pigs, calves, colts
and goats. ~
In the light Of all these extensive
losses of livestock due to coyote raw
ages. the naturalist states that in
certain insances coyotes are Of ac-
tual benefit to community. There
seems to be a natural animal equi-
nbrium, so to speak, that is, each
specie of wild animal has a natural
enemy or a number Of natural enc
niles, which more or less influence
the growth and development Of each
species.
1t is due to the fact that the coyote
is the natural enemy of the prairie
dog that this particular rodent has
always seemed to gnaw down grass
and other material that might fur
Blsh shelter for the coyote to lay in
salt for its prey.
In our vicinity the jack rabbit is
the natural food Of the coyote and by
Scme it Is maintained that should
the coyote be completely eradicated,
pest in ths form Of innumerable
rabbits would be experienced, In
furious to a far greater extent in
that they would exhaust all vegeta-
ton.
Porto Rlco's Experience.
We have an example Of what has
been experienced in the case Of in
Verted nature in the island Of Porto
Rico. 1t seems there grew to be in
that country a pest Of weasles. The
insular governor. desiring TO eradi-
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-11-25

cate these WeasleS, imported spe-
Gle of reptile, known to be a natural
enemy of this species of animals,
and were highly successful in their
era alication, but here a new and un-
thought Of phase appeared. The
reptiles were fast increasing and be-
coming troublesome, due to their i'm
mense numbers.
A species of rat was next imported
for the purpose of killing this pest
of reptiles, thereafter materially re-
ducing the number of reptiles, but
which invaded the fields of sugar
cane ir. search Of food and almost
completely destroyed this one staple
agricultural project of that island.
In order to lessen the number of
rats, which were daily destroying the
farm products of the provisional gov
ernment, it was necessary to repopu-
late the island with the already ex-
tern mated measle that had been the
cause of the first attempt of animal
eradication. Here we have reported
chain of circumstances leading in
the eLd to the primary condition and
demonstrating the untrought of ne
cessity Of animal pests.
Granting that this report has been
founded on facts, the sheepmen of
Oregon need entertain nc fears fr Jln
pest OF rabbits, even should we be
successful in eradicat.ng their natur-
al enemy, the coyote. 1t seems that
civilization and settlement carries
with it G verminous contagion, high
ly obstructive and easily transmitted
II sIecies of rabbits.
Only last winter in certain sectiohs
Of Oregon this maladJ was exper-
fenced, and in those sections reports
come that rabbits are now found to
be almost extinct. This appears to
be form of Nodular disease, and it
is greatly regretted that 1t was not
the coyote that proved the victim to
this highly fatal malady.
BOunties Repealed.
Numerous states in the past have
instituted a bounty system, with
varying success. Undoubtedly Ore
gon, the one state which, because Of
its natural river barriers might have
attained higher degree of success
than all others, repealed the act Gre
ating the bounty law, in the face Of
success, and today we are met with
reports Of yearly loss Of at least
four per cent OF the total sheep Of
our state, or, in other words, 10000
sheep are sacrificed to the depreda-
tons ON predatory wild animals an
nually.
The state Of Kansas pays out $2O,-
900 each year in bountes Of one
dollar each for wolves and coyotes,
and California depleted its state
treasury to the amount of S187,485
in IS months. AS the bounty was IS
per scalp, this represented the de-
struction of 37,493 coyotes. Re-
ports come from both of these states
that, while the number OF coyotes
were materially lessened, the bounty
system, taken as whole, is unsatis-
factory, the chief objection being
that ie leads to fraudulent practices,
such as the developing of greed on
the part Of the hunter for the scalp,
rather than the early eradication Of
the pest.
In these states hunters are often
reported as killing only the younger
members of the species, which are
easily captured In dens and burrows
and allowing the mother to exist
from year to year.

the bait, or alight from the horse lor
vehicle used In the delivery of the
carcass, thus LEAVING the scent of hui
man tracks in the vicinity OF the
/ bait--these measures are the ones
that must be guarded against II sue
cess, is to come from systematic
poisoning.
How to Proceed.
Procure sufficient dead animals,
or parts of dead an mails to be used
as bait place these on prominent or
conspicuous points located ON your
/ range, then by means of a beef hide
or pertain of the bait attached to a
rope and dragged behind horse
make four Tadlating trails leading in
each instance to the bait center
Always be careful to dlsmount, II
1t becomes necessary, on top OF the
hide, as If this measure is not taken
human scent will be discovered by
the coyote along the trail Then
place at convenient points along
these several trails and around the
bait centers po sons, either placed in
eggs, prunes or in portions Of tai
low. Two grains of sulphate Of
strychnine placed in a gelatine cap
sule, and this capsule covered with
tallow, seems to be the best manner
for preserving the poison.
The advantage that eggs and
prunes have over portions Of flesh is
that in few instances domestic dogs
will eat these. Dogs can further be
protected against the eating Of
poisons by the placing of poison con-
tanned in a quantity of tallow on ir-
regular portions of boards and these
boards distributed around the bait
centers during the night, and in the
morning gathered up and removed
from dangerous exposure.
1t is we'll in all instances where
strychnine sulphate is used enclosed
in a capsule to see that the capsule
is covered with tallow. allowing no
openings to the air as the moisture
will dissolve the capsule and the
strychnine, having very bitter taste,
will cause the coyote to discriminate
against this poison.
The poison Is also further made
attractive by the use of scents made
as follows: Put 12 pound of ven-
ison or beef in an open necked bot
tie and allow the same to become
thoroughly decomposed. This can
best be done by allowing the bottle
to stand on the north side OF build
ing. away from the sun. Then add TO
this bottle one quart of sperm OIL,
or any liquid animal oil, and one
ounce of tincture of Siberian musk
or Tonquin musk. This preparation
is very attractive to coyotes and viii
also be helpful to trappers. Best
used by sprinkling a quantity on the
bait or in the vicinity of the trap.
When trapping is undertaken it is
always we'll to see that the trap Isl
placed on a level with the surface
of the earth and the jaws OF the
trap should be covered over with a
piece of thin paper, and this can be
further covered with particles OF fine
earth, and this can be further mask
ed by the sprinkling of water upon
this earth covered trap 1t is well !

We saw an item in the Saturday Arkansas Democrat regarding a negro sent to the pen from this county which is not, we take it. generally known. On April 30, 1906. Gov. Davis issued a pardon to Gus Eas' Ter, colored. sent to the pen from this county for murder. which pardon was du,y recorded and sent to the superintendent of the penitentiary but when it got to him he could not release him for the very good reason that this negro had escaped some time before. Gus, i; $ said, finally come to his home in the east end of this coun- ty and some of his friends. having read about the pardon. advised him to go back to Little Rock and give up and be released" right. Gus took this advice, but when he got to Little Rock he found the pardon had been withdrawn, so Gus has been doing time" in the pen ever since.--Union County Tribune.

Editor c. H. Dismukes, of the Junction City Democrat, is think- ing of entering the race for repre- sentative of Union county in the coming primary. Bro. Dismukes has been a resident of the county for seventeen years during most of which time he has published a newspaper in the interest of the Democratic party and has never asked for any office save that of mayor of his town, to which he has been elected several times. He therefore figures, and justly so, that he would not be asking for something that was not his due.
