 V. P. SANKER, Cresson: 



I raise about one hundred doll-ais' worth of young i)oultr5 

 in connection with my farm. By strict account last year 1 

 lost seven dollars and sixty cents from minks and two dollars 

 and forty cents from rats and skunks. Weasels do not 

 trouble my poultry when they oan get rats and mice, and thp 

 same Is true of owls and crows, which I regard as my 

 friends. Foxes are plentiful, but they live on rabbits prin- 

 cipally.
