had brought home four of them and
was raising them satisfactorily. One
of the little one he had traded for
for two ton of Ignite to a neigh.
boring farmer who has a coal mine.
The value of the coal was about six
dollars. The bounty on these animals
amounts to $3.50 each. Mr.. Mel fed
the young ones on cows milk, and
they seemed to be thriving.
Nearby in a shed was q watchful
old female coyote, pacing impatiently
up and down at the end OF a gener-
GUS length Of chain. This one Mr..
Mel told about capturing, and the
story was very interesting. He told
about the hunters following the
hounds in search of coyotes, haw they
scented this one and began to chase
her down. She was very fleet and
exceedingly cunning in ioutwitting and
evading the dogs. The chase went
merrily on until she Owed intosa cul-
vert to escape the foremost hound,
The culvert was closed at one end,
and she wah q. prisoner. She seemed
to realize almost immediatelylthat she
had made a mistake. for she dropped
her air Of disdain for the dogs and
began to- whimper as II she were
blaming herself fore.her stupidity. Mr.
Nei drove her out into ahsack and
took her home uninjured. There are
not many coyotes left except in the
hills west of Kenmare ana it is there
that the farmers have their hunts
like the fox hunts of England.

But poultry manure has very real
