the Rocky Mountain goat as a means
of reducing the virulence of the Rocky
Mountain spotted fever was the prin-
cipal subject before the meeting Of the
Western States Game Warden's asso-
citation in session in Missoula recently.

cation during the last five years had
given him proof enough to warrant
the eradication of the goat. Professor
