WAYNE COUNTY. 



T. C. MADDKN, Newfoundland: 



Chicken hawk, fox, mink and polecat destroying poultry, 

 game, etc. 



GEORGE M. DAY, Dyberry: 



Mink in former years was very destructive to poultry, wild- 

 cats very destructive to rabbits; no personal loss in past two 

 years. Higher prices for minks' fur have reduced their num- 

 ber to a minimum; wfldcat fur very low, twenty to fifty cents, 

 and they may increase in number unless bounty is raised. 



TUNIS SMITH, South Sterling: 



Have seen where pheasants, rabbits and birds have been 

 killed by cats, foxes, skunks, minks and hawks.
