PHOTOGRAPHING A.WILD FOX 
mp} LROUGHOUT 
the wooded dis- 
tricts of Otsego 
County in New York State 
west of the Glimmerglass, 
there are to be found a con- 
siderable number of foxes. 
The natural conditions for 
their protection and even 
increase exist there to a 
marked degree. Although the woodsman has worked 
great havoc among the pines, hemlocks, and chestnuts 
that once covered the high hills of the district, here 
and there even now may be found a comparatively 
large forest. The ground, not being found suitable 
for agricultural purposes when cleared, has been al- 
lowed to run wild, and a luxuriant growth of scrub 
oak and pine, cherry, a few evergreens, and a tangle 
of brier have taken the place of the larger timber.
