We generally lose about one-halt or three-quartei-s that 

 we get hatched. One year we had forty-five turkeys killed 

 by animals. We weighed one that was killed and it weighed 

 six pounds. They were all killed in one day but fifteen, the 

 old hen among tlie killed. This was done by a weasel. 

 My neighbor had twenty-seven little chicks carried off by 

 small hawks one morning. 



THOMAS O. ROBERTS, Freeland:

 killed in one night twenty-one chickens and one duck. My
