CARRYING OFF TURKEYS.
A Pest of Red Foxes Promises
to Cut Short the Thanks
giving Supplies.

Red foxes are becoming so
numerous and so daring in their
depredations in the Jett's Station
neighborhood that farmers are
hunting them with guns. Taking
advantage of the growing corn and
high weeds in the stubble fields
they come close up to the houses
in daylight and carry off young
turkeys and other fowls. Already
they have killed fifty young
turkeys for Messrs. John Han!ey
and NJ. H. Cromwell. The holes
in the cliffs along the river are be-
coming so filled with them that
war of determination will have to
be waged upon them or the poultry
crop will be exceedingly short in
that neighborhood. Fox hounds
formerly kept the neighborhood
comparatively free from these
pests, but as those who had dogs
have disposed Of them the foxes
have grown gradually more
until now a good fox
dog would be considered bless
