E. B. HARENEAME, Norrace: 



There is a great deal (if imnltry destroyed by tlip wildcat, 

 foxes, hawks, etc. 



D. B. WIL.SON, and Others. Hiiiitiiigdon : 



Have known skunks to steal pheasants' eggs; have seen 

 hawks catch quail and other birds: have seen the homes of 

 owls strewed with bones and feathers: have seen turkey and 

 pheasant feathers around the dons of foxes. 



J. W. MANG, Warriors' Mark: 



Song birds suffer most from the pigeon hawk; the fox is 

 the worst destroyer of rabbits and small game. 



W. H. BOOTH, Maddensville: 



I found the nest of the Great Horned Owl by observing a lot 

 of bones under the tree — rabbit bones and kinds that I could 

 not di?linguish. 



HON. T. O. MILLIKEN, Cornpropst's Mills: 



I have seen where foxes destroyed rabbits and poultry in 

 daylight. In one instance a mink killed nineteen out of twenty- 

 five full-grown chickens in one night; have lost a great many 

 chickens by them. In the fall we cannot let full-grown 

 chickens roost on a tree on account of the large owls. I have 

 witnessed on many occasions the small hawk we call chicken 

 hawk kill and carry off small chickens. Once driving along the 

 road in December saw hawk (small) kill a pullet three-fourth 

 sine and eat a holo in it before I came up to it. 



D. M. SUMMERS, Entriken: 

 Foxes killing rabbits, hawks killing poultry. 



T. S. YASHON, Gorsuch: 



Mj' opinion is that song birds are destroyed by hawks; my 

 experience is that we lose more poultry from these bird depre- 

 dations than by any other bird or mammal. 



HUNTINGDON GUN CLUB, Huntingdon: 



We regard the fox as the most destructive animal nf oiir 

 game, with the skunk next; hawks and owls are also very 

 destructive. 



WILLIAM W. STRYKER, Petersburg: 



I am satisfied that the hawks and ow'ls have killed one-half 

 of my partridges. 



G. M. DEIiL, Mapleton Depot: 



Rabbits and turkeys destroyed by foxes, poultry and song 

 birds by hawks and owls. 



MILES BECK, Warriors Mark: 



Hawks, minks, foxes and skunks are the most destructive 

 to poultry and game birds. 



DAVID MONG, JR., Warriors Mark; 

 Many times I have seen I'abbits and pht-asants killed bv
