CHARLES A. MAIN. South Montrose: 

 Mink, weasel and skunk, on poultry, game. etc. 



J. R. BEEBE, Montrose: 



Have seen plenty of cases wheie foxes, minks, weasels and 

 liawks had killed and eaten partridges, rabbits and poultry 



E. M. SAPFORD, Montrose: 



Skunks frequently make havoc with nests and young 

 chicks: hawks and owls occasionally take a chicken, but 

 farmers will invent their own means to drive them ofr. 

 and they destroy ten mice to every chick. 



SiNYDER COUNTY. 



.1. G. SEILER, Selinsgrove: 



It has come under my observation where the skunk had 

 destroyed whole nests full of pheasants' eggs. 



M. Z. STEIXNIGER. Middleburgh: 



In the last few years I know from personal observation that 

 quail, whole flocks, from fourteen birds down, have been de- 

 stroyed by hawks. When the snow comes that is what they 

 seem to live on. Have seen where rabbits have been taken up 

 by them, by the tracks in the snow, could see where the wings 

 struck and a few hairs and drops of bbiod. 



JOHN P. FISHER, Lowell: 



This sheet is not large enough to hold all personal observa- 

 tions and instances where I have seen where game and poul- 

 try have been destroyed by the fox, mink, and weasel, all 

 speices of hawks and all owls (except the Barn Owl). As you 

 go traveling through the woods, you see where a sly fox de- 

 stroyed a pheasant or a rabbit: a little further on another; 

 here and there in the fields you can see where a fox has 

 feasted on a quail. I say put a bounty on the above named 

 and rid the country of them and the game will soon increase. 



F. J. WAGENSELLER, Selinsgrove: 



Know of a fox catching a turkey hen on her nest in the field 

 and carrying her off; have seen their tracks In the snow 

 where they caught rabbits: also pheasants. Saw a weasel 

 once catch a quail: also saw one have possession of a full- 

 grown rabbit.
