But however marauding the bird may be, the 
Canada jay is very interesting. He likes to come 
very boldly out on the lake and sit on the bow 
of your canoe; or if you are setting a log trap 
he will alight just out of reach and then, after 
you have finished, he will quickly fly down and 
hack at your meat bait. In summer time he 
stores up a surplus of food (his thrift making 
you admire him in spite of his bold plundering) 
so that in winter he may have something to fall 
hack on if food gets scarce, as it invariably does.

New National Bison Herd 
There is now in transit from New York to 
Hot Springs, South Dakota, a herd of fourteen 
pure-blood American bison, presented by the 
New York Zoological Society to the American 
Bison Society, which in turn presents it to the 
Government for the founding of a new National 
herd. About one year ago, Dr. Franklin W. 
Hooper, president of the Bison Society, proposed 
to the National Government that a new National 
bison herd should be started in the Black Hills, 
and offered that in case the Government would 
set aside the Wind Cave National Park as a 
range, and provide adequate fencing and main¬ 
tenance, the Bison Society would furnish a herd 
of not less than fifteen animals, as a gift. This 
offer was immediately accepted, and very soon 
thereafter the New York Zoological Society of¬ 
fered to the Bison Society a nucleus herd of four¬ 
teen animals toward the fulfilment of the obliga¬ 
tion. 
The Zoological Society’s herd at the New 
York Zoological Park contained previous to this 
shipment forty-two animals. On Nov. 24 four¬ 
teen of the finest animals—seven of each sex, and 
representing all ages—were selected and crated 
for shipment. The shipment left New York on 
the following day, over the New York Central 
Railway, in charge of the American Express 
Company. The animals fill two large express 
stock-cars, and are transported in passenger 
trains- The route is over the New York Central 
to Chicago, and thence over the Chicago and 
Northwestern to Hot Springs. The shipment is 
accompanied by Chief Clerk H. R. Mitchell, of 
the Zoological Park, Frank Rush, warden of the 
Wichita National Bison Range, and Frederick M. 
Dille, warden of the Wind Cave National Park. 
I: is expected to reach Hot Springs, South Da¬ 
kota, about Dec. 3. 
The New York Zoological Park bison herd 
has long been noted as the largest on public ex¬ 
hibition, and also one of the most prolific. It 
contains five different strains of bison blood, and 
all the members of the new National herd were 
born in New York. It was from this herd that, 
in 1907, the Zoological Society, in co-operation 
with the National Government, founded the 
Wichita National Bison Range and Herd. The 
society furnished the entire nucleus herd of fif¬ 
teen animals, which upon their arrival in Okla¬ 
homa were immediately placed in charge of War¬ 
den Rush. This venture was a hazardous one, 
because of the presence of the deadly Texas 
fever tick in the Wichita National Bison Range. 
Many predictions were made in Oklahoma that 
the fever ticks would kill all the buffaloes within 
one year; but by diligent and unremitting efforts 
Warden Rush finally succeeded in eradicating the 
fever tick from the entire bison range of foui- 
teen square miles with the loss of only two of 
the buffaloes. The herd has now increased to 
forty-eight head, and all of its members are in 
fine condition.
