HON. G. C. BROWN, Yorkana, York County: 



Have known Foxes to kill and eat Lambs of forty to fifty 

 pounds weight. I have poisoned six with one Lamb carcass, 

 and all were lying: dead at one time along with a Hawk and 

 three Crows. 



NOAH H. PARKER, McKean County: 



Foxes are the most destructive of any animal we have here. 

 They prey upon domestic fowls and birds of any kind when- 

 ever an opportunity presents itself. 



R. W. WEHRLE, Blairsville, Indiana County: 



Farmers in this section have told me that Foxes have killed 

 large numbers of Lambs. 



J. H. VAN ETTEN, Milford. Pike County: 



Little difference as to species. Both kinds destructive to 

 game and poultry. One hundred and eighty of both kinds 

 killed in year 1893 in Pike county. 



JACOB B. MEIXEL. Boiling Springs, Cumberland County; 



We have both kinds of Foxes in our county. The Red Fox 

 does the most damage to game. I consider Foxes enemies to 

 farmers. 



W. G. SARGEANT, Meadville, Crawford County: 



Red Foxes are not very abundant and occasionally a Gray 

 one is seen. I consider that they should be exterminated be- 

 cause they destroy our game birds, especially young Grouse. 



GEO. R. BROWNELL, A. P. POPE and W. R. PAGE, Smeth- 



port. Pa.: 



Farmers lose many Lambs by Foxes each sprin.a:. 

 L. C. OBERLIN, Smlcksburg, Indiana County: 



Foxes are common and destructive to poultry and game. 

 The Red are the worst. I never knew a Gray to kill poultry. 

 but still they may be detrimental. 



JOS. W. KYLE, Milroy, Mifflin County: 



Foxes are quite common and the Red Fox is the most num- 

 erous. They are very destructive to poultry and game. I re- 

 gard them to be detrimental to the farmer.
