old coyotes, one of which was killed
with = rife at long range. A few days
after his arrival the new hunter got
two more coyotes and q brace Of Wild
cats in the vicinity. For some time
before that from three to six lambs
had been lost every night. In ten days
the hunter could find no more Of the
animals and moved to a neighboring
ranch.
Old Ones Are Wary.
There are many instances where
the younger and less shy coyotes and
cats have been taken during the win
ter by fur hunters, leaving the older
and more wary animals alive. These
do the killing and keep the ranches
paying toll to their kind. I have notes
in my field diary describing the work
Of the old coyote which I have men
toned as having been killed with the
rifle. This fellow bore evidence of
having been previously caught in a
trap from which he got away. Think
ing to escape again he made the effort
resulting in his death. It often re-
Quires more time and effort to destroy
this sort Of coyote than it takes to get
the younger ones, but the value Of the
results obtained is very much greater" :"
Mr.. Pope says settlers find it hard
to build up large herds or flocks un-

longer are there to spring upon them

that wild game in some sections Of
the state is increasing under protec-
tive measures now being taken" !:

Cause Of Heavy Losses.

Washington, D. C-Wild, predatory
animals in the West have had q hard
time this summer. Government hunt
ers reporting to the bureau Of blolog-

the animals and some incidents where
It almost was the other way round.

y One Of the most interesting narra-
tives of this exciting business comes
from e. #. Pope, an inspector Of the
service stationed In New Mexico. To
give encouragement and assistance to
the hunters located on ranches where
their work is most needed, Mr.. Pope
has Travelled two thousand miles in
that state.
Stocl<men Are Pleased.
"Almost everywhere" he writes, II
found stockmen delighted with reduc-.
tions made in the wild animal plague
IN the last three years. They say
that from an economic standpoint It is
one Of the most far reaching and SEN
sible undertakings the government has
yet attempted. Among the stockmen
are the Fullerton brothers, who have
extensive sheep ranges on the st.
Augustine plains west of Magdalena.
Ever since they started they have suf-
fered heavy animal losses from depre-
dations of coyotes and wildcats, espe-
cially during the lambing season.
Last winter one Of our hunters was
assigned to these ranges. He was
handicapped by heavy SHOWS and bad
weather, but he got so many OF the
brutes that he virtually eliminated
the pests from this section. A new
hunter was assigned to the infested
