Illustrative of the scope of this work,
the total income from pelts Of pre,la-
tory animals killed by government
nimrods last year amounted to approx
imately 100000. In addition many
other animals whose skins could not
be reclaimed were killed by poisoning.
Ordinarily the United States biolugi-

districts: Montana, Idaho, Washing

During the last twelve months 90
226 coyotes, 3,45S bobcats, $40 wolves.
S5 mountain lions and Al stOck-kil!-

be left in the skim milk. The milk
should not be allowed to enter the ma

A temperature of 80 degrees Fahren-

cold when separated there is too much
loss of fat. II the milk becomes cold

however, to separate the milk soon
after it is drawn and before it becomes

rinsed in scalding water, after which
they should be allowed to dry.

Powdered white arsenic (arSeniOuS
acid) may be fed to rats in almost any

carbonate and strychnine. 1t has been

Another method is to mix II parts by

Phosphorus-Tor poisoning rats and
mice, phosphorus is used almost as
commonly as arsenic, and undoubtedly
it is effective when given in an at
tractive bait. The phosphorus paste,
Of the drug stores is usually dissolved
yellow phosphorus, mixed with glucose
or other substances. The proportion
of phosphorus varies from one-fourth
OF one per cent to four per cent. The
first amount is too small to be always
effective, and the last is dangerously
inflammable. When homemade prepara-
tons of phosphorus are used there Is
much danger Of burning the person or
