The early explorers who describe the .
buffalo numbers do not give us atiy-
thing more exact tbau superlative ex-
pressioes, such as "countless betels,"
"Incredible numbers," "teeming myr-
iads," "the world one robe," ete. I
havme endeavored to get at a more ex-
act idea of their nubers.
The total area inhabited by the buf-
falo was about 3,000,000 square miles..
Of this the open plains were one-half.
According to the flgures supplied we
by A. P. Potter of the forest service,
the ranges of the Dakotas", Montana,
Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Colora-
do, Texas and Oklahoma et total of
about 750,000 square utiles, or half of
the plains) were, aecortling to'the cen-
sus of 1900, tarrying 24,000,000 head
Of cattle and borsesad' about 6,000,-
1 000 head of sheep. This means that
when fully stocked they might sustain
' a number of buffalo at least equal to
• the number of cattle and horses. The
buffalo had to divide their heritage
with numerous herds of mustang, an-
telope and wapiti. On the other hand,
a buffalo conld find a living where a
range animal would starve, many of
the richest bottom lands are now fenc-
ed in, and we have taken no account
of the 6,000,000 sheep. Therefore we
. are safe in placing at 40,000,000 the.
buffalo formerlYliving on the entire •
plains area.
'Their praille range was a .third as
large, but it was vastly wore fertile -
indeed, the stockmen reckon one prai-
rie acre equal to four acres on the
plains. Doubtless, therefore, the prat. •
, ries sustained nearly as many head as
;the plains. We may safely set their
population at 30.u00,600. The forest
region was the lowest in the rate of
' population. • For its 1,000,00 square
tulles we should not allow more than
5atteo,000 buffalo. These figures would
make the pripitive number of buffalo
; Many other calculations based on
different data give similar or slightly
lower totals. From these fats it will
r
appeavery safe to put the primitive.
buffalo population at 50,000,000 to 60e

all. Those experiments and tbeir re-
sults, which are not at all revolution-

carefully sterilized bouillon well pro-

minute objects appear in the bouillon
after ode or two days.
These objects lave been watched.

"My Son Laurence was taken down
With Pneumonia," says Mrs. A. O. Fisher, •
of Newmarket, Ont "Two doctors at.
tended him. He lay ior three months
almost like a dead child. His lungs
became se swollen, his heatt was pressed
over to the right side, Altogether I think

commenced the Da Slocum treatment.
The effect was wonderful. We saw a
difference le two days. 'Our boy was soon
strong and Well."

will cure Pneumonia. But why wait till
Pneumonia homes. It always starts with
a Cold. Cure the Cold and the Cold will
never develop into Prieuinonia, nor the
Pneumonia into ConstiMption. The one
