PRAIRIE WOLF MAY
| MAKE HOME UP STATE
Coyote Is Gradually Extend
ing Its Range.

ALBANY, Oct. 11.-According to DIR. Il
w. Nelson. chief of the United States
Bureau of Biological Survey, the prairie
wolf or coyote may before long become
an inhabitant Of New York state. AL
though. as Its name indicates, originally
an inhabitant of the prairies. this ami
NAL has gradually been extending its
range In recent years. and a few ex-
amples have been taken as far east as
southern Ontario and western Pennsyl-
vania, while the species is of more or
less regular occurrence In parts Of
Michigan and Wisconsin.
This eastward extension OF the range
of the prairie wolf is somewhat In ,line
with the behavior of the related forms
further west, which have within the past
few years spread northward from the
Great Plains and Great Basin regions.
and now occupy in considerable numbers
much Of the Interior of Canada and
parts OF central Alaska In these wild
and unsettled sections these animals are
proving a serious menace owing to their
great destruction OF the smaller game
and fur bearers
| Although as yet no specimen Of the
prairie wolf has been recorded from New
York State, its eastward range in Can
ada has already extended beyond the
western boundaries of New York. That
stragglers might at any time be taken
! in New York State is quite possible.
| However. DIR. Nelson regards the lilSeli-
hood of, the species invading New York
in such numbers as to become of eco
nomic importance as very remote.

In statement issued yesterday the

Reports we are receiving from the

mot only are the birds breeding
heavily in sections always considered as
favorable. but reports Of quantities OF
young ducks are being received from
sections where a young duck was a
curiosity prior to the stopping of spring
shooting.
mot only Is the supply OF water
fowl being materially increased, thereby
augmenting the chances for good flight
over the entire country, In that the
birds are not allowed to remain and
nest peacefully in sections where they
were formerly shot during the mating
period, but such sections are now enjoy

HAD YOUR HUNTING
DOG APIELD YET?
What to Do When Muscles Are
Flabby and Flesh Soft to
Fit Him for Work.
PROPER FEEDING NEEDED
What to Do on Return After
a Day Spent in Pursuit
of Game.
PROPER FEEDING NEEDED
ny PETER p. CARNEY.

Just a few words about your dog.
Perhaps he has not been hunted be-
fore this season; II may be that he
is Just off the chain, and not In what
one would pronounce field trail condi-
ton. His muscles are fiabby, his flesh
is soft, and long continued work will
not tire him for the day, but will be
quite apt to incapacitate him for the
next day.
Unless old and steady his spirits viii
be exuberant, as well as those of his
master, and on this account he will be
deserving of quite as much forbearance
and patience on his masters part as
his master will require of his own con-
science.
A short preparatory run where there
is no game will often tone down a dog
under such conditions and at him for
work.
II one be away from home on hunt
ing expedition the first care should be
to see that the dog has proper quarters
for the night; and the care OF him
should not be delegated to the hotel
servant, but the master should by per-
sonal inspection assure himself Of the
comfort and proper feeding of his dog.
For hunting a dog should be fed very
sparingly in the morning. Give him a
bite or two of your lunch at noon, and
let the full meal be given at night after
the DAYS work Is finished. A dog will
not hunt we'll on full stomach, nor
will his food digest while he is working
in the field.
Care of Dog After Days Work.
II YOU have a brace of dogs work
them alternately; let one do the hunting
while the other is resting at heel. Do
not permit dog to lie In water for any
length of TING while af1eld; though an
occasional plunge will do no harm.
The first care upon returning at night
should be to examine your dog to see
IL any harm has befallen him. A slight
hand rubbing all over will discover II
he has met with any accident from
thorns or briers II any OF these are
found they cannot be removed too
quickly.
Special attention should be given tn
the feet. II these are infiamed and have
the appearance of being made tender by
his work, they should be bathed in beef
brine, which can be procured from any
butcher. II the skin be much worn. or
the foot wounded, vaseline should be APP
piled and II very badly Off, the dog
should be laid up until in condition
again.
Here, as elsewhere. an ounce OF pre-
vention is worth a pound of cure
Slight attention paid TO these matters
will insure a dogs good condition, while
neglect will often cost dear.
So much for the physical well being
Of our faithful field companions. II
might be added that their efficiency and
good performance will be increased II
they have a good example in their mas
ters.
Nothing is more conducive to dogs
unsteadiness and fiightiness than the un.
steadiness and Usefulness of the human
being who is handling him.
No man who cannot control himself
should attempt to control a dog.

d.. ]. Percy Moore, investigator for
the Bureau OF Fisheries, has recently
submitted a memorandum regarding the
results Of Investigations In the Palisades

control OF mosquitoes by the use Of Ash

the park, and experiments have been

Improvement of the shore conditions
