W. T. McEUEN, Newton Hamilton; 



Foxes, hawks, skunks, weasels and uwls are very destructive 

 on poultry, game, etc. 



C. E. SHULL., Lewistown; 



Have often seen, while gunning, where I'abbits and grouse 

 have been killed by foxes and hawks. 



S. T. MOORE, Milroy: 



In my mountain trips I often see where foxes have killed the 

 turkey and pheasant while hatching and destroyed the nest. 



HON. G. H. BELL,, Lewistown; 

 Have seen foxes, minks and weasels destroying poultry. 



JOHNSON MUTHERSBAUGH, Lewistown; 



I had been tracking a rabbit, and suddenly there was a 

 small scuffle in the snow that proved to be the end of 

 "bunny" — with the owl acting as the exterminator. I have 

 seen a hawk chase a gray squirrel up a tree and catch him 

 as he returned on his downward trip. Foxes and polecats 

 destroy the nests of turkeys, pheasants and partridges. 



SAMUEL SIGLER, Paintersville; 



I am informed by farmers of this section that they lose 

 chickens ©very year by foxes and hawks; also know of game 

 being killed by same.

Foxes and minks are the principal animals; hawks and owls 

 are also very bad among poultry and game.

 pheasants, quail, rabbits, than all the sportsmen combined.

 destroying poultry.
