WOLVES TAKE BIG STOCK TOLL
Greater Part Of Cattle Losses on
Ranges Charged to Predatory
Animals.

Denver.-Predatory animals exact
the largest toll of livestock grazing
on the national forests of the West,
while disease causes the smallest pro-
portion of animal losses, according to
figures for 1915 compiled by John II.
Hatton, assistant district forester In
the Denver Federal building. Wolves
were responsible for the greater part
of the cattle losses last year. Bears
were second in Importance. Coyotes
killed three-fourths of the sheep,
while bears, lynxes and wildcats were
responsible for the remainder of the
sheep losses.
The total of animal losses for 1915
in national forests in Western states
was more than 100000, the report
states. The losses represent less than
l per cent of total of l,937,640 cat
tie and horses and S,732,210 sheep
and goats. The loss Of horses was
only about 10 per cent of the cattle
losses.
Cattle losses from disease last sum-
mer on the national forest ranges in
Colorado were 342 head; from preda-
tory animals, 1927 head. Predatory
animals exacted toll of 1882 sheep.
Nineteen horses were killed and for
ty-seven horses lost through disease.
Poisonous plants took toll of l.
9S6 cattle and 1,OG1 sheep. Concerted
effort to clear the forest ranges OF
larkspur and other deadly plants will
be made this spring under the direc-
tion of l.. H. Douglas, forest examiner
in the office of Mr.. Hatton.
Larkspur was responsible for the
loss of S5 per cent of the cattle
poisoned. Loco weed principally is
blamed for the poisoning OF horses.
OF the diseases resulting in the
death of cattle, blackleg is one of the
most important which the forest serv.
ice has to combat.
