TlH. nie.ubers of the State Board of (Janu- Cnuvus- 

 sioiMTS l.avc given especial attention to tlie prof.^ssional 

 snarers and marlcet hunters in the Pike c-onnty district

In the conntv of Lycomin<j, through the energetic ef- 

 forts of Game-Commissioner Mr. E. B. Westfall, mar- 

 ket hunting and the iUegal sah^ of game has been prac- 

 tically stopped. This is fortunate, and if the game-de^ 

 vouring Foxes were thinned out RufCed Grouse would 

 h,. much more plentiful and farmers would lose much 

 loss poultry. Lycoming county has a large amount o 

 torritoryespeciallysuited to Ruffed Grouse and if it was 

 not forFoxes, which Mr. Ghas. H. Eldon, Taxidermist 

 of Williamsport, says are increasing rapidly, these 

 birds, as well as other kinds of game and small wild 

 birds, would be much more abundant.
