Scent should be plaoo4l one ' or two feet from the trap or even fur-, thep if animai must so to it by way i ' of trap. One trap is a I erally used in a set. though often it is . necessary to set two or three very close together to take some very sly old coyote. If two traps are used they should be set so that the pans are about ten inches anaft. This distant is just a little less; than the us ial step of the coyote and if one trap is miss ed he is a-nt to step on the other pan. Part 1. Second Part. Winter trap ping T consider much different from the other three seasons. First, if In cold country, fifty miles of trap line or two hondred traps set elost tost'th-; or as around bait stations, set and j cared for in the proper manner, is all j that nnv one man ls capable of handl ing. The traps are to be set the same as in summer with these exceptions they nfnst be covered with non-freezing debris such as wool, dry home manure, salt or other natural dry re fuse. I consider, for this season, bait sets better than scent sets, pieforablv horse flesh. The bait should be left where animals may have access at libertv for some time previous to set tint? traps and should be located at an old bait station because when in pre vious years a coyote has been accus tomed to feeding: at a certain loca tion be is- less shy than when at a new place. About four traps and no more should l.e set around bait 'stations bo cause one exposed trap dofeates the purpose of the others until fresh snow falls and eliminates all sisns. Tn tra'ls and runways, close to bait sta-' tions, say one hundred yards away.! are very appropriate sets, because j When a coyote is drawn to a certain place he is more easl lytaken than if! traps 'were sti-uny over a larger area where the animals are not so apt to! frequent. Then the pass way sets are Very effective. Some place under a rail or woven wire fence wln-m the animals have been in the habit of passing. The coyote will never jump fence if he can crawl under, while in his usual mode of travel. Therefore, one trap on each side of a fence, in the trail of the passway, without ns itiK either scent or bait, is one of my K 4 St ; - A A. Hotel Pendleton X. I).

He mav o a distance of one mile or more if his stomach contains a lai'KC amount of food because food has a Kreat resistance to any and all poison. Poison baits should lie made up while in camp at night or other spare time. They shoulld be made of solid pieces ot tallow, two liicnes long, one inc.i wide, and 1-4 inch thick. These slits should be made lengthwise and 'i 1-2 grains of processed s'.ryehnine insert ed in the center. The hole made in the islit for inserthm Hie poison, after the poison is placed, should lie filled with some yrease which will easils' melt when combined with the (Uis trio juice of the stomach. After this process the lujits are ready for. distri bution, (me should so to his bail station horseback anil distribute baits about the station in accordance with I lie coyote sinus, both as to iiiantity and place. if twenty coyotes are visitins your station the baits should be more thickly and 'widely placed so that they may all have an equal chance and that the first coyote over the line will not Ret them all. One should never put out baits be fore carrion birds, such as maBpies and eagles, have pone to roost in the evening as they often eat and carry off tin- baits thus milking it trouble some for the hunter. Pesides the birds i. re apt to drop the bait where some domestic animal, such as doss, hoiiH, or chickens will pick them up.
