 king birds keep hawks from our premises. 



CKAWPORD COUNTY. 



MRS. J. R. HEAD, Saegerstown: 



The average poultry raiser probably loses two or three 

 dollars' worth by hawks and a few more than that by rats. 

 Do not believe that crows will take fowls; it is only imagina- 

 tion by those who say so, and that those supposed to be 

 taken by crows are taken by hawks which the crows pursue. 



HON. C. A. STRANAHAN, Spartansburg: 



From twenty to fifty dollars. In our locality the loss is 

 mostly from hawks, owls and rats. 



LUTHER GATES & SON, Beaver Centre; 



Have considerable poultry; rats do most damage; next hawks. 

 then owls; a little from weasels. Think ten linllarK would 

 cover our loss. 



HON. J. B. PHELPS, Conneautville; 



Hawks and rats destroy the most poultry; rats arc the 

 worst. Amount destroyed at least five dollars per year. 



SAMUEL A. MILLER, Linesville: 



Minks, one per cent.; weasels, 

 per cent.; owls, twelve per oen 



L B. BIDDLE, Saegerstown:

 H. J. TOWER, Beaver Center; 



I am not extensively engaged In the business and meet with

 half to five per cent.
