STEALING TRAPS MAY LEAD
TO HEAVY FINE OR PRISON

Trap stealing interferes with the
work against predatory animals car
ried on by the biological survey of the
United States department in the north
west. Stealing government property
of any kind is serious offense. for
which q fine OF $1,000 may be imposed.
or sentence Of five years in Jail. or
both. There are at present two Of
tenders In the state Of Washington
who have been arrested on COMPLAINT
OF Biological survey hunters. and who
are under bond awaiting trial. 9th
ers under suspicion are being watched.
The offense Of trap stealing in addi.
tion to the fact that all government
property must be respected. is partic-
ularly serious. because it may undo
weeks or months Of careful work
Predatory animals destroy annually
many thousands OF dolla worth Of
valuable live stock. They are difficult
to catch. and the hunter may have
spent a great deal Of time following
the tracks Of destructive wolf or
coyote and may have set his trap at
the very best point to intercept his
prey. only to have 1t stolen. The In.
trtnsic value Of the steel trap or the
pelt OF the animal caught in It 10 .
cash loss to the government. and the
potential loss Of future live stock
through setting dangerous animal
at liberty or interfering with Its cap
ture II impossible to estimate.

BETTER LAWS AGAINST DOGS
NEEDED TO PROTECT SHEEP

Although 4s states have dog laws
designed to protect sheep. many OF
them are so poorly planned or so poor
~ enfrced that dogs still do mue h
damage to flocks. especially in the
farming states where flocks are small
and dogs are plentiful. There is need
for improvement In these laws, but,
says the United States department. of
agriculture. q poor law that is en-.
forced with energy may produce bet
ter results in sheep conservation than
much better law that is half-heart-
eddy enforced Dogs keep many men
from going into the sheep business.
which Is probably a greater setback to
the industry than the actual damage
done by them.

NOsEe PRINTS TO
IDENTIFY CATTLE


Bertillion expertr, in the purebrcd
cattle industry. an innovation in the
Identification Of the animals by nose
prints" 10 the latest subject cattle
men will have to learn with the
spreading Of the practice among liz Q
stock men.
Experimental with last Octoberi at
the University farm near st. Paul ny
W. e. Peterson. superintendent Of Of
hcial testing in Minnesota. at the sug.
gestion Of o. H. Baker Of the Ameri.
can Jersey Cattle club, the new iden
tihcation system has acted as a SUBJ
stttute Tor the unsatisfactory brand
ing methods, in use for years past
More than 1000 prints have been
taken and are on file, and not two
have been found alike. When the sug-
gestion had reached the ears Of many
o. the leading cattle breeders, 1t was
regarded as a humorous bit Of "air
talk" but like the days subsequent to
the developing Of the Bertinion sys.
tenn and its acceptance by the world
generally. the past few months has
proved the efficacy Of the new 'denti-
fication system.
The procedure in making the nose
prints is simple. The cows head is
taken under the left arm. it's nose
wiped and ink applied thereon with
a soaked stamping pad. A small board
to which mtmeograph paper has been
attached takes the imprint. The lower
edge Of the paper is started at the
base Of the cows upper lip and with
slight. even pressure. rolled upward
The resultant nose print is a perma-
nent record. as noses do not change
with time.
According to Mr.. Peterson. positive
Identification of animals is necessary
for several reasons. Substitution of
two scrub cows would have little sig
n!fcance. he said. but II pure bred
CIV should be replaced by a mediocre
one. the substitution might Eaean
thousands Of dollars. Again. II a fresh
COW OF similar appearance were to re-
place a cow on official test. a serious
fraud would be perpetrated.
Many insurance concerns have So
ltcited information about it. Superin-
tendent Peterson stated. Under the
present arrangement. the livestock
owners may insure eight or ten ami
mails and in many cases. with the
death Of any one animal. insurance is
collected regardless of whether or not
the insured cattle was the dead one,
according to Mr.. Peterson. With nose
pritns. the companies will have posi- |
tive proof
Substitution il also possible in tu- |
herculosis testing" the testing super !
In endent continued. "In a case where |
a valuable animal reacts to the test |
and is condemned. ear tags may be |
snapped and another animal of less
value may be killed. while the reac- |
tor is saved to spread the disease to |
other animals"

DEATH CANVAS POISONOUS
TO CATTLE

Death camas. OF which there are
four principal species in the range
country Of the west. although causing
heaviest losses among the sheep. are
also poisonous to horses and cattle.
Under range conditions cattle are sell
dom poisoned. Horses are frequently
made sick. but deaths are rare. A few
cases are known where persons have
been fatally poisoned by the weed.
Children have eaten the bulbs out Of
curiosity and adults have gathered the
plant. mistaking 1t for the edible sego.
The United States department of ag-
rsculture has not found q remedy for
poisoning by death camas. but the
deadly species are now recognized. and
ranchers may safeguard their flocks.
