THE CUNNING COYOTE SOME OF THE FOXY TRAITS OF THE AMERICAN WILD DOG. flovv Ilo Evadee Eneluiet and Captures; His Prey -Coes to Which He Pats His Ventriloquistic veils. A Vicious Fighter When Cornered. One of the interesting and typical ani- mals of the far west is the American wild dog; lowland wolf or coyote (Canis itetrans), it being known undee these and other titles. -While a very common ani- mal, it is rarely well figured in the books and is made to look more foxlike than •wolfish. , A wolf the coyote is, a lowland form, and every traveler through the •west who has wandered frora the beaten paths or 'glinted small places knows it well. Te coyote is virtually a wild dog and breeds with the domestic dog, and, dogs will often refuse to injure the female coy- ote. The writer observed this once on the mesa near Pasadena when in full chase after a coyote with a phek of grey and :Stag hounds. One of the dogs reach- ed the game, but instead of seizing It, as usual, ran along by the side of the coyote, which was a female. Huxley contends that there 'is no material difference be- tween the :skull of a coyote and that of a dog, and a cross between a collie and an Eskimo dog produces a very fair coy- ote, so far as appearances go. "Don Coyote" is eseentially a night an- imal, and my observations of the living animal were made chiefly in the saddle In full chase after hint in the dull early morning, -stud I can commend his speed, whieh is greater than that of the fox. When the sun goes down, Don Coyote comes out of his haunts into the foot- hills and wanders down around or in the settlements. He lies in the spurs of the hills and ntountains in southern Califor- nia, as In the San Gabriel valley, in setae safe and inacessible 'mint, and surveys the country, his vision perhaps directed to some henroost ir the keine ot some fat turkey. A.t suck t- imes 1 kitY• occasionally leen him, kis far an almost perfect protectien in its resemblance to the rocks that sur- rounded itim, and that h. recognizes this !raw -shown in one instance when 1 rode within 80 feet of one, pretending to look directly ahead, but watching him out ot. tbe corner of my eye. He crouched as I approa.ched and seemed confident that I did not see him imperceptibly moving, ever keeping his head pointed toward rae, and few would have recognized in the gray rock a_ coyote. On the outskirts ef Pasadena, a city of 15,000 inhabitants, where my observa- tions have been made,I often hear his weird, ventriloquistic yelp in the deep wooded Arroyo Seco, where the wildcat and lynx also roam. He come e boldly up the bordering streets, evading the dogs the best he can, now giving them a wild chase, then 'stopping in some vacant lot and defying s the town and, with head aloft, yelping at the moon. At such times, owing to the ventriloquistic quali- ties,referred to, one coyote can create the impression in the mind of a householder or camper that he is surrounded by a pack. The yelps come in such quick suc- cession that they fairly overrun one an- other and seen* echoed back and repeated from every hill, rock and bluff. In this way a single coyote will arouse the peo- ple as be sneaks along, every dog on the alert, yet on the morrow the remains of some plump turkey will be found in the road, telling the story of this crafty foe - man. In such trips the coyote ifs generally alone, and I have met him On the out- skirts of the town slinking home in the early morning, perhaps under the protec- tion of the heavy fog. Often there is .a mirage, and at a distance of a few hun- dred feet Don Coyote looks as large as a ,sheep looming up in the mist. Generally he stops, turns and stands, a rigid pic- ture for a moment, perhaps wondering what the moving object is; then, con- vinced that it is an enemy, he tarns and runs for the Puente hills with marvelous speed. I give Don Coyote ledit for much intelligence, as on one oc esion at least he led hounds and horses °et of the way to a barbed wire fence, padsing un- der it himself, but witnessing the com- plete demoralization of the hunt as he bounded away. While the coyote hunts singly in towns or villages, be runs in packs in the open, and it is here that he demonstrates his skill and cunning. A friend of mine ob- served a pack of coyotes on the edge of a desert manipulating a jack rabbit. They swept across the country in a line, soon starting a hare, then formed in two parallel lines about 200 feet apart. There was a regular plan of action, and none of_ the coyotes seemed overexcited, but when the hare was started they wheeled into columns, like soldiers, the leading coyote running at the top of his speed. After a few minutes he dropped to the rear, and. a fresh coyote took thtelead, and this watt kept until the hare was run down. The chase was a silent one. The method re- calls the wild dog of Australia, or dingo. While the coyote is invariably written down as a coward, sled it is true that either singly or in pecks he will not at- tack man or beast larger than himself, when cornered he is it vicious fighter. I e seen one fight off a pack of greys de, wounding them so that to save dogs the hunter was obliged to finish the animal. The coyote in this instapce had run at least two miles at race horse epeed end -when reached by the hunters was jabacked up against a rock, snapping his teeth s came t ' Sealed Tenders, addressed to the Postmaster•Gen- eral, will be received at Ottawa until noon on Friday, April 6th, 1900, for the conveyance of Her Majesty's mails, on three propoeed oontracts for four years, 6 and 12 times per week each way, between Bayfield and Sea forth (daily), Bayfield and Brucefield railway station (daily and itemi-daily), and Egmondville and Seaforth (semi -daily), from the let of July next.

The "eat rabbit, a famous girdler ef ;•-oung Tees and an all around enemy to the aviculturist, without a redeeming feature is the natural food of the coy- ote, w Leh does not disdain the ground squirrel.. The coyote Is also a snake eater, even attacking the rattlesnake. In a word, he, is a valuable scavenger and an animal to be preserved. It is true he has a weakn s for turkeys and chickens and sometime dines upon small lambs on the edge of large flocks,' yet the losses are inconside able compared to the ravages the rabbits are guilty of in San Joaquin and San Gabriel valleys and which they would accomplish if not kept down by the coyote. . Don Coyote can be tamed, and I know at one instance where a herder kept one at was apparently as tame as a dog. - 'Professor Charles Frederick Holder in Scient5fic American. Advantage of Position.

Strong colonies protect themselves frora robbers and bee moths. • To avoid in and out: breeding it is well to introduce new blood from time to time. The 'point in favor of the Italian bee is that it is the most proliflo and is gentle and energetic. Comb honey will last for years if al- ways kept dry and uniformly at about 80 degrees. Under these conditions it will improve. The best location ter the hives Is an orchard, as -the bees ;will :there be free from annoyances more than in many oth- er places. One person with a little help can readi- ly attend to 100 colonies if comb honey is the product. If the honey is extract- ed, more help will be 'needed. The cellar is a, good place to winter bees if the temperature does not get too high or too low, so as to make the bees restless or consume too much stores.
