In that Keel ion a number of them aro known to atill exist, us hto'knien who have become accustomed of lute years to pasture their homes and mule, iu the high meadows of that district during the summer will attest. Tho loss of domestic horso. from tho band, pastured in the high valley, in and about this region, from the can so named, has been quite severe, and losses during the past season have not been Infrequent. The animals chosen by the wild stallions are the mares of tho domestic hord, and hence especially valuable to stockmen. No matter how unwilling the selected victim insy be to leave the hsnd of taine horses, the equine lord ol the hills will enforce his right to possession, and, by biting and striking, will drive away the animal of his choice. No one who has not had tho experience of observation of tho wild horse in his native state ran form any adequate conception of the displayed hr the stallions toward ouch other when contending fur the possession of a band of mareu The nature and habits make them muscular, fleet anil strong in a degree not to be found in the domestic horse. 7AII.M S"!

These scales measure about an eighth of an inch in length, narrow anteriorly, and aro about four times as long a wide. They lie mostly with the narrow end upward, though many specimens may be found lying in other directiona Late in the winter the Insects are in the egg state, numerous eggs lying under the mother scale, the insect itself being dead and shriveled up completely. In the spring these eggs hatch and the young lice being very active, crawl out and find themselves a place upon the hark, when they settle and begin to suck the aapi As they grow they begin the secretion of the scale, which soon protects them from ordinary danger.
