there and the delegates succeeded i'm Sc.

DIGGING OUT FOXES
Northern Woodsmen Have Rare
Sport in Idle Winter Days

The approved method of capturine
FOX puppies is to dig them out. It is not
much practiced hereabouts. but farther
north, where fox farms abound. even the
lumbermen are such hunters. The efforts
or the mother fox to save her little ones
are sometimes pathetic. A year or two
ago in the woods OF northern Michigan
TWO lumbermen saw a fox's den and
poked into it, Nothing happened. so
they went on. Retiring at night they
saw that fresh tracks led from this den
to newly dug burrow not far away.
and surmised that the mother fox had
moved her family. Thereupon they
started digging. As they dug they
could hear the old fox digging ahead Of
them in the ground, and II became evil
dent she was tunneling in a circle to
reach the entrance ahead of them and
escape. SO one of the men dug ahead
TO cut her Off and the other dug behind
her. The latter digger came speedily
upon four puppies and the former
reached the old fox herself. She had
been forced 10 abandon most Of her lit
ter In her mad effort to escape, but she
was carrying one baby with her, all she
could hope to save.
Two other men from the same camu
found a foN's hole in a fallen hollow
tree and started 10 chop the family out
In this case the mother drove all the
family-five again-up the center of a
hollow branch ahead Of her. The chop
pers came upon her from behind. They
tied her hind legs together and then
tied this thong to a pole, thus pulling
her out from a safe distance. for she
was fighting mad, and "A foX's bite is not
n pleasant thing. In front Of her were
