DECOY FOR WOLVES.
MONTREAL, March 23.
A-unique device for trapping has been evolved bv Mr Theodore' Legault, a member of the Ontario 'Parliament, who proposes to lure marauding wolves within range of huntsmen by the use of a gramophone record of the wolf-howl. During the' past winter great havoc has been wrought by wolves among the sheepfolds of Northern Quebec and Ontario, and Mr Thomas Farquhar, member for Manitoulin Island, informs me that 52 farmers in that district abandoned sheep-raising last year after losing <SG6 sheep. In revenge 180 wolves were destroyed by the farmers. The Ontario Government will he asked to assist in a scheme for converting the grazing land in the island into stockaded enclosures protected by barbed wire in order to keep the. wolves at bay.
