Foxes are destructive to poultry and game. 



ARTHUR MARTIN, Sandy Lake, Mercer County: 



We have some Foxes, mostly Red; they destroy poultry and 

 wild game to a considerable extent. 



CHAS. HICKOX, Oliverburg, Pa.: 



We have both Red and Gray Foxes; the Red most plentiful 

 and very detrimental to the farmer. 



T. B. HOOVER, Wellsville, Pa.: 



We have Red' Foxes. They are considered detrimental to the 

 poultry interests. 



FRED SAXE, Taxidermist and Naturalist, West Pittston, Pa.: 



We have both the Red and Gray Foxes in our county. The 

 Red is most common, and is the most destructive to poultry 

 and game. I consider that both kinds are detrimental to the 

 farmer. There was a man in town that owned a Fox a couple 

 of years ago, and it got loose one night and killed four Chick- 

 ens in a neighbor's hen roost. Foxes will also eat eggs of 

 chickens. 



A. D. McCRAC'KEN, New Lebanon, Mercer County: 



We have both the Red and Gray Foxes; the Red most num-

 detriment to the farmer. 



JAS. LINDSAY, Utica, Pa.: 



We have both Red and Gray Foxes here and they do con- 

 siderable damage to poultry. They also destroy many kinds 

 of small wild birds.

 Foxes are very destructive to Pheasants. 



A. W. RHOADS, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.: 



Red Foxes are common and numerous; Gray Foxes rare. The 

 Red Fox is a great destroyer of game birds and poultry. They 

 are highly detrimental to the farmer.
