1t is said that sometimes one group of
coyotes will lead dogs away from a farm
house while another group makes raid on
the chicken house or pigpen. Quien sabe?

agent, man named Enrique Varela Antillon.
YES" he said, when we got around to the
subject, "the coyote is astute beyond human
comprehension. Near his home in the state of
Zacatecas family had a pet coyote that had
been captured short time after its birth. 1t
was fed milk and cooked meat and never
allowed to taste raw meat. As it grew up it
began catching chickens, but vigilance and
beatings cured it of that tendency.
When grown, it used to wander into the
wilds at night, coming back in the daytime
to eat - cooked meat. In time, however, the
family began to miss chickens. They watched
the pet coyote closely, thinking he might
have learned bad habits; they even offered
him raw meat to eat, but he refused it. The
vigilance of the family was rewarded one
night, however, by the discovery that their
pet was guiding coyotes of the wilds to the
barnyard. The watcher saw the pet show two

Thousands of them are being killed each
year in the United States - but it viii be a
long while before people will have to 60 to
Mexico to see and hear coyote. For trappers
hired to kill them say that every year they
are getting smarter - only the less cunning
are caught, leaving the wise and willy to breed
Originally restricted to territory west of the
Mississippi, and thinned out to the vanishing
point in many regions, the coyote now howls
in eastern America, and even in New England.
As the old-timers say of a smart cutting
horse, Mister Coyote can do just about every
thing but talk Spanish" This reputation is
not recent. Centuries before any European
heard him howl, this medicine wolf, whose
bark warned the mountain men of Indian
danger, was dominating figure in the crea-
ton of myths of American aborigines. In an
astounding cycle of Mexican tales he has as
sumed character as human as Uncle Remus's
Br'er Rabbit Indeed, over an empire of North
American lands he has grown into tradition
as ample and philosophic as Reynard the Fox
inspired among Europeans.
He is not the lone WOLF we are always
hearing about. He likes company for the mere
sake of music, and when it comes to co opera
ton he is as smart as whip. An old range
man of the border told me that he had seen
six or eight coyotes rounding up jack rabbits
on the prairie, circling them until they were
in rather compact mass Then single
coyote made straight run into the bunch and
got rabbit; at that, the other rabbits scat
tered blindly, and as they rushed out, every
circling coyote caught one.
A scientist met in Colorado told me that
one morning he observed two coyotes sneaking
up on some ducks near the margin of pond.
TIE ducks discovered their enemy and swan
across to the other side, where they went to
feeding in some reeds The next morning
about the same time solitary coyote crept
right up to the margin, where the ducks we're
again swimming Again they spied the enemy
and made across the pond. But this time,
when they approached the reeds, second

sprang out and caught one.
In the summer of 1884, " says Rollie Burns,
awaddie of the plains when they we're unfenced,

The ignorant in Mexico do not believe NOR

lore of course But folklore aside, the coyot
is just about as smart as newly made Ha1

Mister Coyote is very fond of prairie do
meat, but as prairie dogs live - or did so liv|
before they were poisoned out - in towns
wherein the holes are very near each othe}
and at the approach of danger sometime
make use of each others houses in com
