Rangers Exterminate Predatory Beasts

ONE Of the duties Of Uncle Sans
~ forest rangers is to kill "varmints"
that destroy cattle, sheep and other
domestic animals. In the western
states, where bears, mountain lions,
wolves, coyotes, wildcats and lynxes
are plentiful. the annual damage from
wild beasts runs into millions. Last
year forest rangers killed 1871 de-
structive animals. The reports, just
out, show that 213 bears, SS mountain
lions, 172 wolves, SO wolf pups, 6,4S7
coyotes, $40 wildcats and 72 lynxes
fell before the rangers guns.
In addition to their efforts after ami
mails that are harmful to live stock
and to game animals and birds, for
est officers have made headway
against the prairie dog, which eats
one thirty-secoud as much as sheep.
The biological survey estimates that
one grown wolf will destroy about
$1,000 worth of stock a year. and
that the average family OF wolves
will get at least $4,000 worth. The
stock killed by wolves is principally
cattle. Calves and yearlings are gen
orally selected by them for slaughter
but II these cannot be readily had
cows and even full-grown steers are
killed.
1t is said by stockmen that wolves
in Wyoming kill from 10 to 20 per
cent. Of the annual increase Of the
herds. In some sections Of Montana
they are just as bad.
THE problem Of the determination
of predatory animals" said John A
Rhodes, a guard of the forest service

He went down the bridge stairs
as though shot from a gun, and a
moment later a young seaman named
Symes was swiftly footing the rat
lines, their coating of ice breaking un-
der his tread and rattling on the deck
below. The men swarmed out from the
forecastle and up the main hatch, rang
ing themselves about the foot of the
foremast, watching me eagerly, and
occasionally peering up at Symes, now
well above the cross-trees.

to James Chalmers, a printer Of Dun
