Do not raise enough to make any dlffei'ence, although 

 crows seem the most annoying to the young chicks. 



SAMUEL MARSHALL, West Chester: 

 Lose some chickens from rats and a very few from crows. 



JOHN L. BALDERSTON, Kennett Square; 



I did lose seventy-five dollars' worth per year until I took 

 effective measures to protect the half-grown birds. 



HARRY WILSON, Gum Tree: 



The Sharp-shinned Hawk does the most damage. One pair 

 in nesting period will take about fifty to seventy-five chicks, 

 of two and a-half to five dollars' value. Crows, likewise, very 

 rapacious. 



JAMES B. KEECH, Tweedale: 



Eternal vigilance is the price or cost of poultry with us. 

 Foxes and hawks cause us the most loss. We lose, I believe, 

 annually twenty-five dollars' worth.

 Twenty dollars' worth by minks.
