And the cows quit bawling;

And the boot owl quits hooting;
When the rivers cease to run,
And the burglar stops his looting;

And the boys quit their larking;

THE rapid increase of the bison in

question as to what we shall do with
our surplus. In the Buffgdo Park at
Wainwright. Alberta, this question is
becoming a serious one, as they will
soon occupy as much range as is cap

"The natural answer to this ques-
ton is to create additional reSerya-

suitable for bison, but less suitable
for agricultural purposes, is available.
In addition provision is being made

couraging farmers TO purchase sur
