Wild Animals.
The loss through wild and preda-
tory animals can hardly be figured,
but II undoubtedly runs into hundreds
Of thousands of dollars each year.
What Is the best method of destroying
these animals Is % problem, but ii

only through a united and systematic
effort may anything in this nature be
accomplished
