the total of all animals trapped. 1t
has become evident that systematic
poisoning operations on large scale,
employing modern methods under
careful supervision. are a most eco
nomical and practical means of re-
ducing the number of coyotes. Prog
ress has been made in developing
more effective poisons as well as i'm
proved methods of establishing sta
lions and distributing poison for coy
otes These have been successfully
applied in organized cooperative
campaigns.
In many large grazing ranges, main
Iy through poisoning followed by
systematic trapping, coyotes have
been SO thoroughly eliminated that
sheep owners, with practically no
losses, now permit their sheep TO
craze freely without close herding.
Important Landing grounds have been
similarly protected SO that ewes and
lambs are allowed to range freely
without being driven TO bedding
grounds at night. The practical elm
ination of coyotes from the range

increase in both the wool and the
meat output. In addition TO the sheer

protection have always been against
them. On the other hand, many per-
sons regard their fur value as con-
siderable item and many farmers
hold to the idea that they perform
a great service in destroying rabbits,
ground squirrels, mice and other ro-
dents, while the cattle man has not
experienced such heavy losses from
them as to cause him to take very
great part in measures against them.
However. an alarming spread OF
rabies in Oregon. northern California
Nevada and southern Idaho, with the
coyote mainly responsible for car
rying this dread disease over long
distances of uninhabited country, rem
dered such contentious of no account,
and placed the coyote forever among
animals warranting rigid control.
1t must not be assumed that all
wild animals make habit of killing
live stock. One particular specimen
will discover that living can be made
a matter of ease and comparatively
little effort by dining on a tender
calf or lamb. He. therefore. discon-

There is practically no limit to the
grizzly bear. Full-sized cattle are
mere playthings in his estimation.
With one swing of his massive paw
he can swat a monster COW into
eternity.
"Silver Tip Grizzly is dead.

This is the epitaph that the bio

ceived a letter from Charles ]. Bayer.

One of the best bear stories comes
from a. hunter named Saunders, VINO

of Arizona. His tale is vouched TOT py
the officials of the biological survey.
In his lonesome wanderings through
desolate sections of the country
Saunders found a yearilng steer tnat
had been slaughtered by bear. he
Immediately baited a trap and very
soon thereafter a two-year-oid pear
stuck his foot in it. However. before
Saunders got back to- the trap piS

trapped bear. The experience was SO
unusual that Saunders did not include
it in his offickal report to washington

sounds fishy, but ] have witnesses to
the fact that saw where the fight
took place. I am satisfied that the
larger bear killed the steer and the

before the large one came back, and
