WORLD'S GREATEST BUFFALO HERD.

The herd of buffalo in Wainwright park, Alberta, Canada, contained 3,500 animals in 1918 when a roundup was made. This is believed to be the largest buffalo herd in the world. The original herd from which this has grown consisted of 402 head bought in 1909 by the Canadian government from an Indian named Pablo in the Flathead valley. Montana. The United States government has a large and growing herd on a reservation in the Flathead valley. There are other herds of buffalo elsewhere in America and it is evident that there is no longer any danger that the buffalo will become an extinct animal.
