THEY DON'T KILL NEEDLESSLY
LIKE THAT" FARMER BROWNS
BOY KEPT SAYING OVER AND
OVER TO HIMSELF.
Neighbor Andrews was SO sure that
Reddy or Mrs. Reddy had killed those
chickens. He found an angry farmer,
who couldn't very well be blamed for
his anger.
Those Foxes have a den over in
your pasture, and it is useless for you
to say they haven't" declared Neigh
Dor Andrews.
"Of course they have. I haven't
said they haven't replied Farmer
Browns Boy.
Then it is up to- you to get rid of
them. I don't care how you do it.
Trap them, shoot them, poison them,
but get rid Of them, and don't waste
any time about it. If you don't do
something about it, and do it right
away, I WILL" declared the angry
farmer.
How do you know it was Reddy
Fox or Mrs. Reddy who killed your
chickens?" asked Farmer Browns
Boy
WHO else could it have been?" de-
manded the farmer.
1T might have been a Weasel. It
is like the work OF a Weasel You
know. they kill for fun, and Foxes
don't do that. At least, the red ones
DON'T" replied Farmer Browns Boy.
1T was no Weasel that did this job.
/ tell you it was a Fox. I've had my
suspicious of those Foxes over in your
pasture for some time. Now some
thing is going to be done about them,
or I will know the reason why" de-
clared Neighbor Andrews.
"Of course, something will be done
about them if either Of them is guilty."
replied Farmer Browns Boy. Il
just"
There isn't any if about it," inter-
rupted the farmer. Il don't know
which Of them it was. It may have
been both Of them. But that doesn't
matter. Those Foxes have got to be
killed, and that is all there is about It,
What you want to protect them for Is
beyond me-"
Il don't want to protect them II
they are guilty of any such slaughter
as this Of last night, but don't want
them killed If they are not guilty.
What I came over here for is to try to
find out II the killer of your chickens
really is Fox" replied Farmer
Browns Boy, trying to keep his tenn
per and be polite.
Haven't I told you it is a Fox?"
demanded the other sharply.
Eyes, but that doesn't prove any,
thing. All am asking is, why you
think that 1t Is the work Of q Fox,
instead Of q Weasel. Mr.. Andrews
Supposing We should trap or shoot
those two Foxes, and then you should
lose lot more chickens in the same
way. That would prove that it wasn't
the Foxes, and"
I'VE would at least be rid OF those
red robbers" interrupted the farmer.
"see here, young man, there hasn't
been Weasel around this place for
so long that can't remember when
last saw one. But there have been
Foxes. especially Of late. I've been
losing small chickens, one or two at
q time, for some time. And I have
seen Fox around here several times.
saw one last night. You remember,
1t was . moonlight night. I looked
out the window just before going to
bed, and saw a Fox just going behind
the barn. and he was coming from
the direction Of the hen yard. I didn't
think he could get In there, so
didn't bother to 60 out to look. Now,
