Wasblnston, Nor. 8. The enormous losses offered by stockmen on the .westers cattle ranges and the " deetraction of same, oa forest, reserves, Filvate game reserves, southern plantations, large farms, and In national ' parka throngs the ' depredations of wolres has been the cause of a special investigation by the biological survey. In cooperation with the forest, service ot ascertain the best methods for destroying theae peata. The chief object of the report, according to Chief Forester Graves, Is to put Into the hands of every hunter, trapper, forest ranger and ranchman, directions for trapping, poisoning and hunting wolves and of finding the dens of the young. Should the directions be rigidly followed It is bellered that the wolves can be so reduced la number that their depredations will , cease to be a serious menace to the , Increase of stock and game. . t Inducement te Trappers. , 1

"Prime wolf ' skins." - said Mr. : Graves, "are worth from $4 to $ each, enough to Induce trappers and enterprising ranchmen to make an. effort, to eeeure them if a reasonable degree of success Is assured.' Stock owners need little encouragement to catch ior kill wolves op their own ranges, and It Is believe that the forest ranger will. bo able to keep down the i Increase en the' forest Tseerves. Their complete extermination on the western ranges is not, however, to be expec ted la the near future, and It Is only by constant and; concerted effort that Uietr number can be kept .down .sraitlr s) . prevent serious '.deprtitlaa,? . t;,;t , ; - f; TkJi Hplaeal survey In an exhausjtive Njort . shows, the -wolves to be fdlvldtliiate. taro, groups, the smaller 'Coyotes ejr, pratele wolves of the westem United ,Ctitf a, Hsxlco, and south--, j western CnaU.Wooiprtalng aeveral jipecles cti v-ema epectee : and the larger gty black.. of limber wolves, j diatrlbutti ;mct3allyt throughout the i whole of Notth.

Where Animals Breed. I "From a physical enumeration of Itha population and habitat of the (Wolves," Mr. Graves says, "the natural Inferences would be thst the forest reserves serve as breeding grounds, from whleh the wolves raid the surrounding country. 8uch Is not the case, however, . as will be apparent from the: reports .tht have been received here. The: wolves breed main;ly below the edge of the forest reserve

In talking ;w1th hunters, trappers, .ranchmen and forest rangers "who have been much 1n the northern mountains in winter 1 have not found one who ever saw wolf tracks in the mountains, during the breeding season, or knew of ' a Nrolf den above the foothills. All agree that the wolves lesve the mountains when the cattle cow down In the fall and . return only wheex, the wattle are driven Into the mountains asala la June, Juat as' they originally followed the migrations of buffalo. The fact that wolves are abundant In the valleys la winter also supports the migration theory, but. their continued presence In the valleys la sumner would Indicate that not all follow the cattle Into the mountains In the winter, . , .-,' Tae-stock killed , by wolves Is saalaly cattle.

The protective measures taken by

ranchmen 'are now in general use throughout the West. The wolf-proof fence, which prevents the wolf from coming. Into an inclosure is the most

effective and likewise the most expensive Bounties given by the states is an effective means of eradication of the wolf.; but the most successful methods that have yet been employed by jnan for the protection of cattle are

the primitive ones, bunting, trapping and poisoning." . Itt respect . to poisoning. Mr. Graves added, "many . wolves arekilled by poisoning and more would be so killed if the ' methods ' followed were less crude. Strychnine is severally, used, with nothing to disjpuise its intense bitterness, the powder being either inserted, in bits of meat or fat or merely spread on a fresh "carcass."

Another five years seventy-one beats go to the minute, and to the woman of thirty is permitted seventy throbs.

On the' other hand, mountain lions kill more - horses than cattle - because their catlike methods of springing at the head and throat succeeds better with the horse than with cattle.
