Bravest Animal Alive, Declares
Former U. S. Marshal.
That is Information Given Out by
Jack Alternately of Oklahoma, Bet
ter Qualified for Talk Than
Any Other Person.

Oklahoma City, Okla.-The coyote
has been greatly maligned. Instead of
being the worst coward in the animal
kingdom 1t is the bravest thing in ex-
istence. That is the information
coming from Catch 'Em-Alive Jack
Alternately, former United States
marshal, and better qualified for dis
cussing the coyote, perhaps, than any
other living man.
Recently while discussing coyote
hunting with some friends. Alternately
gave utterance to some statements
that are surprising.
There is mistaken impression re-
garding the coyote" he said. Il have
caught thousand of them and ]
never made one yelp with pain. They
would rather run than fight, but when
they are cornered they fight like the
very old Nick and die without whim-
per.
Il would rather catch wolf alive
than coyote. The wolf is larger, but
the coyote is quicker.
"The coyote never hunts trouble.
never had one attack me unless had
started the fight. He sleeps the great
or part Of the day and forages at
night. l have noticed that they are
Drawer at night than in the daytime.
"As to their intelligence-why, dang
II, they're the smartest things living
They are more cunning than fox
They can ambush a dog with more
skill than Mississippi niger can in
wade hen roost on a dark night
Their favorite trick is to double on
dogs when being chased. l had a fine
greyhound killed once by this trick
Three dogs were chasing a coyote
The trail led through rough country
and the wolf. as they are commonly
called on the ranges, led the dogs into
trap. A half dozen other coyotes
came out from ravine and took aftel
the dogs. Suddenly the wolf that was
being pursued stopped and in a mo
ment there was the all-fredest flght
you ever saw. They killed one OF the
dogs before / could get close enough
to unlimber my Winchester and gel
into the game.
"A wolf knows when he is in danger
and when he Is not. Once I had 1
coop of chickens in camp. The coyotes
we're prowling about. SO l took tn.

coop out on the prairie not far away
and surrounded 1t with wolf traps
Early the next morning l took my re-
volyer and went out to see If / had
caught anything. Not trap had been
disturbed. While l stood there seven
of the rascals snooped up out of the
darkness and surrounded me. They
came up to within ten feet of me and
I began to expect fight. drew
away from them, making toward camp,
thinking to unchain the dogs and have
an early morning chase. They fol-
lowed, but when they caught smell of
the dogs, they took to their heels.
There is something queer about
the bowling of coyotes. 1t reminds
me more of Indians dancing than any
thing else. I think the Indians learned
some of their antics from the coy
otes; and then again when you re-
member how smart the doggoned
coyote is, 1t may have been the other
way, he may have caught the trick
from watching the Indians.
"One night, several years ago, saw
a coyote come Looping along until he
reached little knoll. where he
stopped. He sat up on his launches
and emitted CHASTITY long-drawn
yowl. Silence followed; then another
yowl. In ten minutes dozen other
coyotes gathered around him. In
stead Of sitting up on their launches
like the first one they circled around
him in radius of about ten feet in
kind of 'hitch-and-a-trot' lope,
bowling, first short yelp and then
long one. Occasionally the one sit.
ting in the middle would let out a
long-drawn cry. That was the cue
for the others to begin all over again.
l made movement and in a moment
they had vanished like the shadows" .

Meat In some form must be fed
poultry.
In Paris markets the eggs are dated.
and one pays according to the fresh
ness.
Turkeys should not be allowed to
perch before they are fully three
months old.
Ducks and geese require deep drink
ing vessels, especially II reared and
kept on land.
An excellent substitute for green
bone Is the commercial meat sold By
poultry supply houses.
After all the chicks are out Of the
shells the hens should be busted for
fear OF lice upon the chicks.
The best breed for egg production
is one that has been bred especially
for egg production and not particu-
lar breed.
Cooperative egg-farming is carried
on in parts of England which gives
a method for disposing Of eggs to a
good advantage.
Whitewash is better than paint on
the poultry house for the reason that
1t costs less and has purifying In
fiuence as well.
The setting hen should be provided
with a dust bath, place where she
can dust herself each day when she
comes off the nest.
The more the hen exercises the
more perfect the circulation Of the
blood, and consequently more blood.
which means more eggs.
1t pays to feed young fowls well
until full-grown. Once stunted they
never regain their vigor even by the
most careful feeding and care.
Fowls on free range, especially in
an orchard, gather a vast amount OF
bugs, worms and insects that furnish
them all the meat food required.
Environment becomes an important
matter and those fowls which have
the best environment will, other
things equal, be most likely to show
improvement.
Hens in confinement. properly man.
aged, lay more eggs than those given
unlimited range, though when fed
from a hopper they are not SO In
slined to roam such great distance.
