Our wild sheep herds are not in very
healthy shape from the standpoint
of numbers. After years of protect
ion, their numbers still decrease.
Game management men are puzzled
about what to do. It is a grand ani
mal, living among grand surround
ings, and we hope someone finds the
solution soon.
The Rocky Mountain bighorn rang
es through the Rockies, from British
Columbia and Alberta, southward
through Montana, Wyoming and into
• the Colorado Rockies and New Mexi
co. Subspecies of the bighorn-type
sheep extend into Mexico; these in
clude several kinds of so-called desert
sheep.
The true Rocky Mountain bighorn
is a sturdily built animal, sure-footed,
fleet, even in places where man must
pick his way with care—-keen of sight,
hearing and smell. He is wary, but
not quite enough, or his numbers
would not be dwindling.
He is still found in good abundance
in British Columbia and Alberta, and
it is there that the hunter must go
to experience the supreme thrill of
bighorn hunting. A few are Still
hunted in Wyoming, but only under
special permits.
They will eat any kind of vege
tation. In the summer they feed on
the short grass and mosses of the
high slopes; in the winter they retire
to the valleys and meadows. Here
mountain lions, wolves and coyotes
prey on them, and in the summer
when they are on the high peaks,
eagles are said to take their toll of
the young lambs. This last is dis
puted by some naturalists, but Wild
life artist and hunter Walter J, Wil
werding writes this:
“All I say is that wherever I have
' WISDOM
OF THE AGES
“All men are entitled to a
hearing in the councils
which decide upon the
destiny of themselves and
their children”
Each family will find here a
service of dignity and decorum,
with complete relief from anxi
ous, perplexing details,

found flocks of bighorn ewes and
lamhs, I have also seen eagles soaring
close overhead. It is hard to believe
that with hungry young in a nest, a
golden eagle will pass up a lamb to
go hunting further for marmots and
ground squirrels.”
I The lambs, often twins, are horn on
the most awful and precipitous peaks,
usually from the middle otf May to
late June. Rarely will you find a ram
I with the ewes and lambs. Usually
they band together and roam by them
selves, wanting nothing to do with
nursery troubles.
The wild sheep’s life is said to be
r about 12 years. If a ram succeeds
[ in keeping his head that long, Ms
! horns will grow into a double spiral,
i which is rarely seen these days. The
growth rings on the horns are quite
distinct, and accurately show his age.

For You To Feel Well
124 hours every day, 7 days every
week, never stopping, the kidneys filter
waste matter from the blood.
If more people were aware of how the
kidneys must constantly remove sur
plus fluid, excess acids and other was£e
matter that cannot stay in the blood
without injury to health, there would
be better understanding of why the
„ whole system is upset when kidneys fail
j. to function properly.
Burning, scanty or too frequent urina
tion sometimes warns that something
is wrong. You may suffer nagging back
ache, headaches, dizziness, rheumatic
pains, getting up at nights, swelling.
Why not try Doan’s Pills ? You will
be using a medicine recommended the
country over. Doan’s stimulate the func
tion of the kidneys and help them to
flush out poisonous waste from the
blood. They contain nothing harmful.
