Fox Worried by Food Problem.

1t is not often that the sly fox re-
veals to man his method of securing
his daily rations; so that men of Can
ton Centre, Conn, who We're hauling
logs were quite surprised recently to
see large red fox on the hillside only
about ten rods from the team. He was
not the least bit disturbed. Suddenly
he leaped into the air and pounced
onto the snow. This operation was re-
peated several times, the fox jump
ing several feet into the air each time.
He was doubtless trying to break
through the crust and catch the mice
which he heard burrowing under the
snow. The hard, deep snow makes it
much harder for the foxes to catch the
little animals except when they are
running for cover.-Hartford Courant.
