N. b. LaBryer, manager of a large
hide company here. said the decline
in prices is due to inability of tanners
to ship their goods because Of fear Of

Many tanneries have closed down

more sheep than at present if the prairie-dog pest could be altogether re- moved.
 One of the simplest methods used by the biological survey to destroy TO- dents is to mix a strychnine paste with oats or other grain and spread the mix ture in the neighborhood of their holes, or in places where they are in the hab- 1t of feeding. Of course suitable pre- cautions must be taken to see that cat tie and other stock do not get any of the poisoned grain. Using this method. one man in Arizona treated in one day 320 acres. Eighty quarts of poisoned oats were used, the total cost, includ- ing labor, being $9.79. As a result of this, 1850 dead prairie dogs were col lected from this area, but the number killed undoubtedly was much larger, since large proportion of the animals die in the burrows. Robert H. Moul- ton, in Pennsylvania Grit.

more active cooperation with the gov dents as the prairie dog, the ground squirrel, the jack rabbit and the pocket gopher.
 It is estimated that each wolf on the range destroys not less than $1,000 worth of stock each year, and these 2,000 wolves, if they had not been de- stroyed would mean a loss of not less than $2,000000 to the stockmen anna ally. Other great stock loss would have been caused by the 240 mountain lions and great numbers of other pred atory animals that have been killed. All this saving is perfectly apparent to the stockmen and they have not stinted money in aiding the work. States, communities and associations of individuals have made liberal ap- propriations to supplement those made by the federal government.
 But the losses from rodents, great as they are, have never been so strik- ingly apparent The rodent is individ- ually insignificant and comparatively few stockmen realize the value of the forage destroyed by the multiplied millions of them. The prairie dog alone occupies more than 100,000,000 acres of the best range land in the Rocky mountain region, and his range is over- lapped in places by the ground squir~ rel, gopher and rabbit. The prairie dog destroys from 10 to 70 per cent Of the grass in any territory 1t occupies It has been estimated by experts that the ranges of New Mexico would sup nort 4OOonO more cattle or 100000
