OUTWTTING THE COYOTES

The murderous activities Of coyotes
on herds Of sheep have made business
for the ranchmen. Here follows q year
of history at Billy Meadows on the Wal
Iowa National forest in Oregon. says
Golfers Weekly. Can Coyotes be kept
away from sheep? II so, are the sheep
healthy, heavier aud more profitable!
Does the added profit in the sheep pay
for the cost of shooing away the coy
otes?
Coyote-proof fence, SO inches high q
s miles long, was used to fence In
$500 acres. In three months 136 coy
o,es came to the fence and not n got
through. They were on hand for ~
out of 95 days. Seven grizzly bears and
8 brown bears got through the fence.
Black bears. bob cats, lynx. badgers u
elks also came nosing around the bar
riers. The grizzly bears passed in by
going through the 6 inch space between
the woven wire and the FIRST barbed
wire above, or through the 8 inch space
bet tween the two top barbed wires. The
claws OF the hind foot were hooked into
the meshes OF the woven wire, giving
the bear q pull to force his body through.
The band of sheep consisted OF l20O
ewes and their increase. 1909 lambs.
At the seasons end. Septemo er 20, the
sheep, experimental on, were turned
back to the owner. the count gave q
total Of 2194, q loss OF 10 since june 81.
when the animals were turned into the
pasture. The coyots-proof fence gave
them free, unmolestsd grazing. and they
began to outgrow their herding meth.
DDS. There was less msssing. less trail
ing less close-bunched grazing. This
change is good for the range and good
for the sheep.
The age of the two bands at the time
of final weighing was approximately
the same. yet the average weight show
ed an advantage of 81 pounds in fayo'
of the animals from the coyote proc
pasture. Alter DciuB houuiou u"e
the p~asturAgs system for 8 months. be-
tween the ages of 3 and 6 months
lambs weighed 8 pounds more than thu
best lambs Of the same class that had
been herded.
The chief drawback to the system o
experimental pasturage was the exces
sive cost of the fence, which on mos
grazing lands will approach $500 a mile
Among the advantages of the pas
turage system that justify this expen
diture for fence construction arei
/. Increased carrying capacity OF 81
per cent over the customary herdinl
system.
2. Heavier sheep.
8. Decrease from 3 per cent to one
half of | per cent in the loss.
4. Less expense for handling.
8. An increase in the lamb crop.
6. Heavier and cleaner wool crop.
The experiments were closely watch
ed by James T. Jardine of the fores
service. The coyote is the one grea
menace to the sheep industry, and !
excluding him the fence has served il
purpose.
