OVERWHELMING FOXES.

| 1t Is well known that several species
of the dog family in North America tc
some extent feed on fruit. The domes-
| tic dog Is, of course, accustomed to a
mixed diet, of which flesh constitutes
only a small part. We have seen many
dogs that would eat apples, and others
that would swallow down grapes as
fast as they were offered to them. Do
nestle animals, however, have pervert-
ed tastes, and offer no sure guide as
to what wild animals will do.
On the Northwest coast we have seen
the droppings of gray or timber wolves
which were composed almost entirely
of the seeds of the salmon berry while
it is well known that the coyotes of the
Southwest feed to very considera BILE
extent on the fruit of the prickly pear.
The foxes of Alaska and the northwest
coast feed almost entirely on the wash
of the beach, which consists largely of
fish and shell fish; our own red fox in
times of scarcity eats fish, crabs, shell
fish, eggs and even insects The South
American guara lives largely on fruit
and roots, as does the so-called rae
coon dog of Japan. The African fen
nee, which is a fox, is fond of dates,
and is said to be able to climb a date
palm in order to obtain the fruit There
is a crab-eating dog in South America
which may be assumed to take it's
name from the food it lives on. In
general terms, it may be stated that
the dog-like animals of southern coun-
tries appear more disposed to adopt a
vegetable diet than those inhabiting
the North.
The food habits of the raccoons and
of the bears are well understood to be
omnivorous, and beechnuts are said
sometimes to be eaten by the fisher or
black cat. The gray fox is more given
to eating vegetable food than the COM
moner red fox of the North, although
fruit is sometimes eaten by that spe-
cies. 1t is said that occasionally the
gray fox tears down the cornstalks and
feeds on the corn in the milk. That
knowledge of the fruit-eating habits of
foxes is old is shown by this quotation,
attributed to him whose name has be-
come as proVerb for wisdom "Take
us the foxes, the little foxes that spoil
the vines; for our vines have tender
grapes"
The fox grapes of eastern America,
however, so familiar to every country
dweller, are believed to have received
their name not from the fact that they
are eaten by foxes to any extent, nor
from the further fact that they hang
high and so are inaccessible but from
the slightest foxy or musky odor which
the clusters exhale-Forest and
