GAME.KlLLiNG FOXES.
Their Destructiveness Shown by the Con-
tents of q Burrow.

tents of q Burrow.
Arthur S. Burr, of Old Haddam, when
going across lots recently discovered
the carcass of woodchuck partly eat
en-, and little further along ruffed
grouse. Thinking it was the work of a
fox, he made search and found the bur-
row, with large black hen and two
more cartridges at its mouth. Suspect
ing there were young cartridges in the
row, he made up his mind to return
and dig them out, as the town of Had
dam pays bounty of two dollars a
head.
1t was five days before he had a
chance to do this, and when he dug out
the burrow with the assistance of
Sherm Fowler he found that the willy
mother fox had removed. They were
determined to have that bounty, and in
cidentally the foxes, and after long
search they found new burrow, pick
ing up two more cartridges on the way.
On digging out this new hole they took
out eight cartridges, three rabbits and
very large woodchuck, with five
young foxes in the end. The cartridges
were partly eaten. but the wodchuclS
was completely cleaned out, nothing
but the skin being left.
Sportsmen have long claimed that
foxes were more destructive to game
than all the hunters, and have noted a
great increase of foxes in towns that
have not paid bounty for the last few
years. The only incentive the farmers
boys have for killing the fox is the
bounty money. Eight cartridges in a
burrow but four days old show the
great destructiveness of foxes.
