THE NATIONAL BISON HERDS. 



Very satisfactory reports have been received 

 from the wardens in charge of the i\Iontana Na- 

 tional Bison Herd, and the Wichita Herd. 

 Concerning the former. Warden Andrew F. 

 Hodges reports that the herd came through the 

 winter in very fine condition, and that up to 

 May 20, several calves had been born. 



From Warden Frank Rush, in charge of the 

 Wichita National Herd, we have received the 

 following report: — 



"The five calves which were due to arrive in 

 the Wichita Buffalo herd are all here, .'? bulls 

 and 2 heifers. This brings our total number 

 to 23 head, 10 males and 13 females, all in the 

 very best condition. I wish you could see them. 

 They certainly look very prosperous, and if you 

 were here you could see in reality what you had 



predicted for tlie Wichita Bison herd many years 

 ago." 



The last remark of Warden Rush refers to 

 inniuinity from Texas fever.
