 the largest number are dead in the holes. You may also 

 get a number of skunks and badgers. 



In a month after a storm ride over the country again 

 and whenever you find signs of the dogs leave a fresh 

 dose and you will surely get them. It is well to watch 

 the ranges during the summer, and a year later work 

 over the same area, and with another dose spot the 

 holes that show signs of occupancy.
