PAGE TWO Ways of (In (Our Dumb Animals. | tb.ii Wolves are about as wise as any tiiu animal that runs the wilderness and ma each year that civilization encroaches, sis on them see them wiser, for they| 1 inust learn better ways of self pro- the tection or nerish. Nowadays limber inc I wolves are scarce except In the far alo North where they still thrive and tioi hunt in packs during cold weather tnii just as they always have. j car In the wilder regions of the Rocky can Mountain country they are still fairly as numerous and in the interior of the, dai Olympic Mountains in Washington j she they are a menace to the herds of, tint Roosevelt elk that 'ive in this region i and nowhere else in the world. j TH In the old Buffalo days a large gray wolfe ranged all over iho plains, following the buffalo herds in their i migrations. This wolf was even larger and more powerful than the timber wolf. 1 saw one of these that had j been killed in Wyoming many years J ago early in the fall when he was in prime condition. This specimen hums- 1 Q 8 ured six feet six inches from tip to tip and was about average size for ajsu' large male. A more powerfully ?%N 1 inns. 1 d beast I never saw and one, glance at the skinned body showed i plainly why these wolves had no dif-j licu!:> in pulling down old or wound-j " n ed buffalo, to say nothing of stray| calvt's that they killed occasionally as, easily as they would kill a rabbit. Those wolves were called "lobo" by j nn** t! early Spanish explorers and this.'*'* . ... ?

Me is more fox-like than \vi 1: like and is perfectly harmless so ' . . 'tis. la: as man is concerned, though he ( is a great thief and as sharpwitted as , ' , . . liek any tox wlieti it comes to robbing an unprotected hen roost. They do a lot of material damage ^ _ k'Hing poultry and occasionally a Sim young pig or sheep for the farmers, so tliev are hunted and trapped all . , hl"l the time everywhere, the net result ^ being to make them keener wittod. Kvery coyote has voice enough for ten, and half a dozen of them can make * night hideous with their continuous . . ... on I serenading and they do it! Ml the wolf tribe are keen hunters ond great travelers, ranging for miles maI ot t over the country in a single night.) They travel at a swinging trot usually. but can run like an automobile for , miles if necessary. A wolf's nose is his best friend for, ' it catches the faintest scents in the, ' moving air and thus tells him exactly ^ what is upwind for miles. This makes it easy for him to keep away from!. inything suspicious and it leads him straight to anything good to eat thus he lives rather a bettor life than most of he wilderness folk and per. "on . . , ?Oil petuates his race even in the face ot , civilization because ho usually has tune to get away from man and so is j S( ' rarely seen except by the hunter who knows his every habit and also his. I Mill Me is always suspicious of the mansmell and takes no chances, for he his learned to associate the. stent of mankind with danger to himself. This makes hint very hard to trap and y even hard to kill with poison placed ,jnr in small lumps of meat that he can saj .swallow at a gulp, and mostly does /on not swallow at all because his fear of ;|j ( h? man smell is even greater than \at pressing hunger nowadays s(;|, Wolves, it undisturbed and follow-, Nat 1 r?< their natural insticts. usually j visi lintit in pairs and they do Home fine, fun team work in their hunting. for eachjthe W-tps the other and barks his play ?v- din ery tiuin. a trait that enables two of pro them to catr.h and pull down a fu|l!
