RAPACITY OF THE PIKE.
Other Sea Fish That VIII Attack and
Eat Their Own Species.

The pike has the reputation of be-
ing particularly cruel and voracious,
hence one Of its appellations, the IVA
ter wolf" but the probability is that
many Of the sea fish are equally if not
a good deal more rapacious and fond
of attacking, causing pain to and
making meal off their own species.
| Large dogfish (they, of course, are
related to the shark tribe), congers,
pollack, cod and bass are especially
ferocious, while halibut will frequently
seize and kill other large fish, as an
glers can aver from personal expert
ence. 1t is only a few weeks back
that, while a London angler was
playing" large conger, huge hall
but swan up to and savagely bit at
1t, an operation that eventually cost
1t its own life, for on making for the
wounded conger a second time the
lboatman contriyed to gaff and haul it
aboard.
There have been many instances of
pike being found dead, choked by
their own species, and these fish not
infrequently attack another pike
which has been hooked by an angler.
The action of pike at times closely
resembles cat when it plays with a
mouse. The pike seizes the anglers
bait and keeps dropping and allowing
1t to escape-one can picture it's de-
light in the terror of its victm-but
does not forget to leave the mark Of
its teeth behind when it eventually
makes off.
Lately many fine cod hooked on the
long lines off Deal and Dover have
been found bitten in half, while only
the heads of some have been left
thus showing that they have been
preyed upon by some cruel and vora-
cious fish, only too glad to have
such a favorable chance of killing
London Globe.

THIS DOCS NAME
AMT COOK, BUT


Alton, Illinois, Jan. 23.-Dr. R. A.
Pfaff, a prominent dentist of this city
has always had an excellent reputa-
ton for veracity. Therefore, his
friends believe him when he de-
clares hat he has on his farm near
Fosterburg, Ill, hen that he knows
to be twenty-five years of age and a
duck that is older than the hen by
two years. The dentist admits that
the hen is no longer an egg producer
but is useful because of her willing
ness to adopt and mother every
brood of chicks that is hatched out
on the farm. By acting as foster
mother, the twenty-five year old hen
enables the real mammas to get back
on the job of turning out fifty-cent a
dozen eggs. The twenty-seven year
old duck also has the same penchant
for acting as nurse to little ducklings
and teaching them how to swim. She
has also provided feathers for the
family pillows for a quarter of GEN.

WENAHA RESERVE
WILL BE FILLED

That there will b. no trouble in
filling the Wenaha reserve with ca
tie and sheep this year Is assured
from the fact that although there is
still nearly a month in which to file
applications, the quota Is nearly all
filled, says the Walla Walla Union.
Old sheepmen and cattlemen will be
given preference in the picking of
those who are to use the forest.
Twelve hundred head OF cattle and
100000 sheep will be allowed on the
reserve this season.
While last summer was exception
all dry. the range came through in
excellent shape, and by careful watch
ing there was no overgrazing. Grass
last year started two weeks earlier
than usual, also.
According to Forest Supervisor
Schmitz, about 500 sheep were lost on
the range last year, mostly from bears
and coyotes. Few were killed by poi
sonous plants. Most of these were
killed in stampedes caused by the ap-
pearance of bears, rather than from
the work of the animals themselves.
Fires burned over about 1000 acres
of the forest. and some $4,000 was
spent by the government in fighting
the flames. Little damage was done,
however. as the fires burned mostly
in regions where the timber was not
of much value.
The outlook for the present year Is
most encouraging, for with the organ
ization of the Walla Walla and Mill
creek organization of cattlemen, there
should be less damage among cattle,
as well as among sheep.
The prices for grazing on the Wena-
hs reserve this year are: Cattle,
April to October 10, 80 cents per
head; from April to March 81, 1912,
II is As cents a head horses are 40
cents for the season, 60 cents for the
year long. Sheep, June 10 to October
10. costs cents a head and for the
year long. Is cents head.
