NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY, 



CACHh CKKKK. 

 Permanent water supply in buffalo range. 



would be less than if they were unloaded elsewhere, for the Gov- 

 ernment is careful not to bring infected cattle on the military 

 reserve through which the buffalo would pass. 



Wolves. — Next to Texas fever, the wolf question is of greatest 

 importance. Up to the time that Mr. E. F. Morrissey was ap- 

 pointed Supervisor of the Wichita Forest and Game Reserve 

 wolves had been held in check by the ranchmen and hunters — 

 therefore there were few complaints of cattle being killed. Since 

 then all hunting has been stopped and the wolves have increased, 

 until now they are one of the worst enemies to the cattlemen. On 

 the Reserve alone 72 head of stock had been killed by wolves 

 within the last six months.
