which the wolves raid the surrounding
country. Such is not the case, how
ever, as will be apparent from the
reports that have been received here.
The wolves breed mainly below the
edge OF the forest reserves. or ON the
reserves where partly foothil country
is included. In talking with hunters.

Hogs are killed in great numbers

Louisiana and Arkansas.
The protectice measures taken by
ranchmen are now in general use
throughout the West. The wolf-proof
fence, which prevents the wolf from
coming into an Enclosure is the most
effective and likewise the most expen-
sive. Bounties given by the states is
an effective means of eradication OF

DDS that have yet been employed by
man for the protection OF cattle are
the primitive ones, hunting, trapping
and poisoning"
In respect TO poisoning, Mr. Graves,
added many wolves are killed by pois
oning and more would be so killed If
the methods followed were less crude.
5trychnine is generally used with
nothing to disguise its intense bitter
ness, the powder being either inserted
in bits of meat or fat or merely spread
ON Il fresh carcass. In most cases
the wolf gets taste of the bitter
drug and rejects IT, and If the dose is
swallowed it may be too small to be
fatal An old and experienced wolf

War AGAINST THE WOLVES

I Washington. Nov l0.-The enor-
nous losses suffered by stockmen on
the western cattle ranges and the des-
truc,ion OF game on forest reserves.
private game preserves, southern plan
iations, large farms and in national
parks through the depredations OF
wolves has been the cause of a special
Investigation by the Biological Survey,
i'm cooperation with the Forest Ser
vice, to ascertain the best methods
for destroying these pests.
The chief object of the report, ac-
cording TO Chief Forester Graves, is to
put into the hands OF every hunter,
trapper forest ranger and ranchman,
directions for trapping poisoning and
7 hunting wolves and of finding the dens
Of the young. Should the directions
DC rlgidly followed it is believed that
/ The wolves can be so reduced in mum
Der that their depredations will cease

Of stock and game.
Prime wolf skins" MIR. Graves said,
are worth from 81 to SO each; enough
TO induce trappers and enterprising
ranchmen TO make an effort to secure
them if reasonable degree of success
is assured. Stock owners need little
encouragement to catch or gill wolves
on their own ranges, and II is believed
that the forest rangers will be able TO
Keep down the increase on the forest
reserves. Their complete eXtermina-
ton on the western ranges is not
however, TO be expected in the near
future, and 1t is only by constant and
concerted effort that their number can
be kept down sufficiently to prevent
serious depredations"
The Biological Survey in an exhaus-
tive report shows the wolves to be
divided into two groups. the smaller
coyotes, or prairie wolves, of the west.
ern United States, Mexico, and South
western Canada, comprising several
species and subspecies; and the larg-
or grey, black, or timber wolves, dis
tributed practically throughout the
whole Of North America from Florida
and the table land of Mexico to the
Arctic Ocean. These large 4XoIves
commonly called "loafers" or "lobos, -
include at least half dozen species
! or geographic races, comprising the
small dark grey or black wolf of
Florida and the southeastern United
= states, the red wolf of southern Tex
as, and the brindled wolf OF Mexico.
