M. E. KDMERER, Weissport, Carbon County: 



Foxes kill great numbers of our Chickens, Turkeys and Ducks, 

 and they also destroy considerable game of different kinds. 



HON. A. L. MARTIN, Enon Valley, Lawrence County: 



We have both Red and Gray Foxes. They are detrimental. 

 They annually destroy a large amount of poultry. 



J. S. GAY, Terry town, Bradford County: 



Both Red and Gray Foxes are found with us, but the Red 

 ones are more common; both species are destructive to the 

 farmer as they catch poultry. 



A. P. BREWER, Norwich, McKean County: 



Foxes I consider a great benefit to farmers, as they catch a 

 great many Mice. 



GEO. S. APPLEBY, Decorum, Huntingdon County: 



We have plenty of both, and they do much damage to poultry 

 raisers. They also devour a great deal of game of various var- 

 ieties. 



PAUL SWINGLE, S. Canaan, Wayne County: 



Foxes, both Red and Gray, do a large amount of damage to 

 farmers in this region by destroying poultry. 



MR. PIERSON, Dysart, Cambria County: 



Have Red and Gray Foxes in quantities about equal. The 

 Foxes of Cambria county destroy more game than all the hun- 

 ters. Hav« trailed a Fox and have known him to kill and eat 

 four Pheasants in one night, and kill one Rabbit and eat the 

 head of it. Like the Wildcat, Foxes are hard on young Pheas- 

 ants, Rabbits and Turkeys. 



B. F. RENNET, Pike County: 



Have both Red and Gray Foxes; both detrimental to farmers. 

 They destroy a' gool deal of game, particularly Grouse. 



THOS. SEABORNE, Newlin, Pa.: 



Foxes are perhaps the worst animals we have, destroying 

 Chickens, Turkeys, Ducks and Geese.
