Dachshund Strain in Coyotes Rds
Stockmen of Heavy Loss From Pests
Cattle Killers Are NoU Easy Prey for
Farm Dogs Since Speed Has Been Re-

O'Neill, Neb., Feb. 10.-By the
introduction of a cross strain which
will materially reduce its speed, Doo
Wilkinson of Beaver Flats believes
he has solved the problem Of eradicat
ing the coyote from the cattle ranges
and the hog pastures of north Ne.
braska. For several years the scient
ist has been engaged in experimental
ton in an effort to eliminate the
large loss suffered annually by stock
men from these pests and now de-
clares he has the solution through
the introduction of a dachshund
strain among them.
The chief difficulty of the project
was the overcoming of the natural
aversion Of the coyote to the domestic
dog. This has been overcome by rear
ing coyote whelps dug out in infancy
from the dens along the Calamas
river with the dachshund litters from
his extensive ranch kennels. Reared
together, the youngsters grew up In
a spirit of camaraderie touching to
behold and readily mated on reaching
the adult stage. The resulting cross
breed is an animal with the wild
nature of the prairie wolf, but the

short legs and consequent slow speed
of the dachshund.
For several years the doctor has
been releasing the hybrids as fast as
they reach maturity and they have
intermingled with their wild half
brothers until already dachshund
characteristics are to be noted In a
majority of the coyotes killed or
trapped In lower Rock and Brown
counties. The new coyotes readily
can be overtaken by the average
collie and farm dog and as a conse-
quence 1t is no longer necessary for
the ranchers to maintain large packs
of wolf hounds. The three or four
cattle dogs to be found around every
ranch can easily keep its pastures
clear of the pests. which are most
annoying during the calving season.
The fur of the new coyote is pro-
nounced superior in texture to both
that OF the dog and the coyote.
One trouble with the new product,
however, and one which at the time
was not anticipated, Is that it is not
speedy enough to overtake the prairie
jackrabbit, on which the coyote main
ly feeds, and an increase in these
rodents, with a consequent loss to the
fruit farmers along the lower Calamas
may result

Washington Correspondent The Omaha Bee.
Warden W. /. BiddIe of the federal
prison at Leavenworth. was in
Washington this week aiding in push
ing bill through congress empow-
Iering him TO build shoe factory at
the penitentiary. Shoes for the army
and navy and other governmental EN-
ployes will be manufactured at the
Leavenworth penitentiary under
terms OF the bill which has passed
both house and senate.
For years the convicts at the peni-
tentiary. now numbering nearly 5000.
have been busp in building the PM
tentiary. 1t IS now near completion
and employment for the men is sore
ly needed, according TO Biddle.
One interesting and rather menac-
ing fact revealed by Biddle while
here, was to the effect that 43 per
cent of federal penitentary inmates
are serving sentences for breaking
the anti-narcotic laws. and nearly
everyone OF the 43 per cent is a drug
addict. That doesn't include hun
dreds of women yiolators kept in
county and state prisons.
Biddle was the Nebraskan's first
boss. That. of course. was before he
was warden. Biddle. for years was
city editor of the Leavenworth Times.
He started in life as a mechanic in
Leavenworth with not more than a
fifth grade education.
One winter the shop was closed
and Biddle found work in the cireu-
lation department of the Times. He
brought more news items into the Of

Mr.. Barnes and officers OF the asso-

and needs from a national standpoint.
The area Of distress now centers in
jesrtain few industries, cattle raising,
copper mining and single crop grain
raising, he said. The cattle industry
shows signs of recovery with south
western ranges in promising condi-

farming is replacing single crop grain
raising, according to his report.
Cotton and dairy farming are en-

seems to have passed its worst stage
of depressing over-production and is
on the upgrade.
Certain sections OF agriculture still
have their problems, but Kansas, for
