Henry Moulton of West Manches- 
ter recently had a rather interesting 
experience in tracing out the looters 
of his pigeon coop. After finding 
sore 25 birds gone, he concluded the 
cause was rats and forthwith pur- 
chased not only a trap but a ferret 
also. After disposing of these in what 
to his mind was an effective manner 
he awaited results and was not dis- 
appointed as next morning a large 
tat was in the trap; but the pigeons 
disappeared as hee and no results 
from trap or ferret. Then Mr. Moul- 
ton proceeded to exairine the prem- 
ises thoroughly, and much to his sur- 
prise ina dark corner, under the coop, 
found a small screech owl. Need ess 
to say the depredations have stopped.
