A. P. YOUNG. Millville, Columbia County: 



Have had Turkeys and Chickens on different occasions taken 

 by Foxes; Skunks will rob nests. There should be a bounty on 



Foxes. 



DAVID COPE, Leonard, Chester County: 



Red Fox rather common and I consider this animal detrimen- 

 tal to the farmer. 



F. H. FASSETT, Meshoppen, Wyoming County: 



Red Fox common. Gray Fox rather scarce. Both are detri- 

 mental; they destroy poultry, game and song- birds which brood 

 on the ground. 



OAPT. JOHN M. BUCKALEW, Fishing Creek, Columbia 

 County: 



Foxes, Minks and Weasels all destroy poultry. Have many 

 times found feathers and bones of domestic fowls at dens of 

 Foxes; also have seen both Foxes and Minks carrying off 

 poultry. 



Red Foxes and occasionally Gray are found here. Red com- 

 mon and quite destructive to game and song birds and their 

 nests. Gray believed to be quite as much so, as he is inclined 

 to climb. 



H. K. MENSCH, Muncy Station, Lycoming County: 



Foxes have destroyed many Turkeys and Chickens for me and 

 my neighbors. 



W. F. WAGNER, Coalport, Clearfield County: 



Both kinds are here, the Red Fox most common. Both spe- 

 cies are detrimental to the farmer. They destroy a large amount 

 of poultry and are persistent hunters of game. Pheasants and 

 all birds which build on the ground are destroyed by Foxes. 



A. W. WRIGHT, Colfax, Huntingdon County: 



Have known Foxes on different occasions to kill lambs, and 

 know of numerous instances where he caught Chickens and 

 Turkeys. Weasels often destroy poultry— Turkeys as well as 

 Chickens. Foxes, both Gray and Red, are certainly very detri- 

 mental to farmers. They destroy many broods of the Wild 

 Turkey, and Pheasants are one of their main articles of diet.
