 climbing logs to do so, Fide. Iia*l caught bun by the book ol bj

We have seen them hunting otters. Phi

We have never considered any dog as special for hunting wood- 

 chucks, becanso at the form we visit and at the trout creek both 

 dogs will kill them until it is a difficult matter to lind any to bunt. 

 Our observation has induced ns to think that any plucky dog ran 

 be trained to kill woodchuck, because a. dog never 'forgets' the first 

 bito of a rat or tho first nip ol a woodchuck, and from that time 

 becomes the sworn enemy of both these animals. NoiutAM.
