K. O. AUSTIN, Austin: 



I ha-ie known owls to catch pheasants in winter smnvs; 

 hawks catch poultry and song birds; rabbits are caught by 

 weasels and wildcats, but most of these are good mousers, 

 and insects and larvae are their principal food, with snakes 

 and other reptiles; the house cat eats many song birds.
