SUBSCRIPTION, $1.50 PER YEAR SPECIAL VIIfiEO ONWESTERNCOYOTE Congress Appropriates $75,000 For ' , Biological Survey to Carry on Extermination Work In ' Western States. Washington, D. C, April 28. The appropriation by Congress in the Ur gent Deficiency Act of $75,000 tor the control of rabies among coyotes In the West has enabled the Bflreau of Biological Survey of the XL S. De partment of Agriculture, to puh5 in spectors and 190 hunters in the field, in addition to its existing organiza tion. These men are to serve in Ore gon, Nevada, California, and Idaho, and along the border in Utah. In addition to these measures the Neva da Rabies Commission has signified Its Intention of expending a large sum of money under recommenda tions made by the Biological Survey, and it is probable that other States will do likewise. Stockmen and ranch owners are cooperation by furnishing horses and forage free of charge. The importance of preventing the spread of the disease is fully realized. The coyote has always been a pest to stockmen, but with the advent of rabies it has become a serious dan ger to persons as well as to stock. In many sections of Oregon, Idaho, Cali fornia, and Nevada, parents are afraid to send their children to school unless they are well guarded, and there is always danger that domestic dogs will be bitten by the mad ani mals and spread the disease to the families of their owners. In Oregon and Nevada over 100 persons have received the Pasteur treatment for rabies within the past three years and stock interests have suffered se verely. In one feed lot In Winne nmea, Nevada, a single coyote caused the loss of 23 head of three-year-old beef steers. v Although this is regarded as the most serious, it is not the first out break of rabies among coyotes In the Western States. In 1911 the dis ease made its appearance In Wallowa County, Oregon, and spread south ward. This infestation still contin ues. In the spring of 1915 the dis ease made it3 first appearance in northern Nevada, and at the present time southwestern Idaho, northwest ern California, and approximately the northern half of Nevada are Infeste'd. The normal coyote is cunning but cowardly and has a particular aver sion to the scent of a human beini?. When stricken with rabies, however, it idoes not hesitate to snap at every thing in reach and to attack men as well as dogs and cattle. In this con dition it does not eat and consequent ly can not be killed by poisonous baits. In controlling the disease the Bu reau of Biological Survey purposes first to prevent its spread by killing off the coyotes along the borders of the Infested districts. After this has been done, the infected areas them selves can effectually be rid of the animals and the disease stamped out, STALLION POSTERS EX PLAINED FOR OWNERS Stallion owners who make an nouncement of service of their horse by means of posters must give con sideration to the four following points in order to have the poster comply with the legal requirements: Name of stallion and owner; state ment of place of stand; terms of ser vice and copy of license from Stallion Registration Board. It is in the copy of the license that serious danger of error lies. It is re quired that the word pure-bred or grade or mongrel, as the case may be, shall be printed in type one inch in highth. Posters that omit any of these points are Illegal and will have to be corrected upon notification from the Secretary of the Registration Board. "The policy of advertising benefits both the owner of the horse and the horse breeder." said Carl N. Kennedy, secretary of the board in explaining the requirements of the poster law. The owner in this way supplies much needed information to breeders and thereby secures better returns from his investment In the horse. Breed ers by receiving this information, are able to select the horse they wish to breed to and the stands that are most convenient to them. "As an illustration of this value to owners of mares," continued Mr. kennedy, "the experience of the ani mal husbandry department at O. A. C. might be mentioned. In order to secure this information it was neces sary to make several trips to the local livery stables, involving trouble, ex pense and delay. There are very few reasons for general advertising that do not apply with equal or special force to announcements of stallion service in the local paper."

Complete arrange ments for showing these pictures here have not yet been made, but it is cer tain they will be shown at the local theater In the near future and all school children will probably be ad mitted free of charge.
