 lars annually; principally from "hrnwn hawks."

CLEARPEELD COUNTY. 



.JOHN S. JURY, Butment: 



We have lost two large turkeys in the last year by owls, 

 and not less than twenty dollars' worth of poultry every year 

 by foxes. We live on the river hills, sixteen miles below 

 Clearfield. 



HENRY DOTT.S, Glen Hope: 



Last year lost twelve turkeys, one-third grown, by a weasel. 

 I lose by hawks, weasels, polecats, etc. A fair average for each 

 year would be fifteen dollars. 



JOHN W. LEONARD, Ansonville: 



Our losses are chiefly from skunks, and have been from ten 

 dollars to fifteen dollars per year during the past four years. 



PHILIP DOTTS, Glen Hope: 



Our loss is not less than five to ten dollars per year, prin- 

 cipally from hawks, weasels and foxes. 



A. JUDSON SMITH, New Millport: 



In the past year have only lost by skunks; they troubled 

 me considerably, but after losing a few dollars' worth 1 

 succeeded in shutting them out. Hawks, weasels and minks 

 destroy quite a number of chickens in this neighborhood an- 

 nually. 



R. P. KESTER, Grampian: 



Minks, hawks and skunks are the most destructive agents 

 to chicken raising in our locality. I keep my poultry wpII 

 guarded, so sustain little loss. 



THOMAS SHIPLEY, Clearfield: 



I had no loss last year. I keep a good Cox houiul in my 

 enclosure, a good cat in the barn and a good gun close at 

 hand, which accounts for it. 



HARRISON STRAW, Kerrmoor: 



We raise some poultry; about ten i>v twplvp dollars' worth,
