HOW TO HUNT AXD TEAP THE "WOLF. 57 



any other animal is killed with strychnine, the carcass 

 sliould be burned at once, lest fowls or other domestic 

 animals get poisoned by it, and the hide should be imme- 

 diately tarred with alum and salt, as described in the chapter 

 on dressing skins. If this is delayed, the hair and fur will 

 come out and spoil the looks of the skin. If wolves kill 

 a sheep or calf, or any other creature, for you or your 

 neighbors, take the body to some place out of the reach 

 of domestic animals and put poison about it as above di- 

 rected, and you v\'ill be sure to make them keel over. 



You can so scent your boot soles with a mixture made 

 of the oil of rhodium, oil of fenugreek, oil of cummin, and 

 flour of sweet fennel, as to make the wolf follow your 

 track or trail. By going far into the w^ilderness and trav- 

 eling among the swamps, you can fetch the wolves into 

 your neighborhood, but they are not pleasant neighbors 

 to have.
