was as high as 80 percent. Most of the
loss occurred before feeding began, but
very many, both calves and older ami
mails, were so weak that they died even
when receiving what would ordinarily
have been an abundance Of food. A large
number, in fact, on being fed, died al
most Immediately.
It Is estimated that the whole Num-
Der of 10000 elk which winter in the
Jackson Hole region includes about 6625
COWS 3 years old and over, OF which 20
percent. or 1868, will produce calves each
year. If, then, the animals are not to
fall below their present numerical total,
the deaths from all causes must not eX-
coed 1868 per annum. In other words,
the deaths each year NAV rise to 1868,
and stiH the elk viii hold their own.
Four Causes of Death.
The total death roll Is the result Of
four causes-first, natural mortality, in
Guiding accidents; second, starvation;
third, wolves and other predatory ami
mails, and, fourth, hunters. 1t is evident
that anything done to decEsase losses
from the first three Of these causes VIII
augment the number of elk that can be
shot each year without diminishing the
herd as a whole. But Just in proportion
as starvation and wolves claim great
number Of victims. so must the number
shot be cWtailed, or else the total of elk
viii be lessened. At present probably
about 1000 are destroyed annually by
wolves.
The life of the elk during a winter so
severe as that of 1901 isa constant
struggle to preserve existence a ma
iOritv of the animals, including most Of
tie young calves, are soon driven TO

After eating the smaller twigs, they are
forced BY hunger 70 attack the bark and
larger branches- though the woody fiber
thus swallowed has little nutFiment, and
Is without doubt actually injurious. Hay

and. if insecUrely fenced. are soon at
the mercy Of the starving creatures,
which often die from overlooking. Many

forced to sleep beside the stacks during
much of the winter.
