"roast" chickens and turkeys from farmers. In some cases 

 this loss is from three to five dollars each. This is a fad with 

 a class, and we would shoot them, but are asleep. 



UNION COUNTY. 



JOHN A. CAMPBELL. Belleville: 



Perhaps five dollars, but the expense and trouble of guarding 

 against foxes, skunks and the big horned owl is considerably 

 more. 



GEORGE E. LONG, Lewisburg: 



I have never lost any poultry by anything but rats and 

 disease. 



J. A. GUNDY, Lewisburg: 

 Think very few; mostly young birds. 



WARREN COUNTY. 



WALTER M. SHULER, Warren: 

 I lose some poultry every year; chiefly from hawks. 



N. P. MORRISON, Tidioute: 



I do not raise poultry to a very great extent; only about 

 a hundred per year. Loss does not exceed five dollars. 



W. B. HALE, Ackley Station: 

 About ten per cent. 



CLINTON MILLER, Tidioute: 



From two to five dollars' worth, mostly from hawks ami 

 owls. 



P. N. ROBINSON, Scofield: 



Yes, only by hawks; probably ten or twelve small chicks 

 during the spring and summer. I am not in favor of bounties; 

 the boys will kill them just the same. 



W. W. WILSON, Ackley Station: 



I do not lose any to speak of; not a dollar's worth in five 

 years. Never heard of such a thing as crows stealing eggs 

 and catching the young of domestic fowls. I think the crow 

 is like some men, "he has got a bad name." The crow and 

 the English Sparrow are both useful birds. 



WASHINGTON COUNTY. 



JULIUS LEMOYNE. W^ashington: 



I keep flock of about one hundred chickens. Think the 

 average loss annually will not exceed five dollars; most of that 

 from hawks. 



PHE.'^SI.Y LEECH. Bulger: 



From twpntv to twentv-fivp dollars worth
