THE NATIONAL BISON HERDS. 
Very satisfactory reports have been received 
from the wardens in charge of the Montana Na- 
Herd, and the Wichita Herd. 
Concerning the former, Warden Andrew F. 
tional Bison 
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, 3 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 the Wichita Bison herd many years 
ago.” 
The last remark of Warden Rush refers to 
immunity from Texas fever.
