capes me NOVA. M. Stunte-
beck, Freeport farmer, tells how
1t cost him $37.4O to kill Is
foxes that he got In the first
IL days Of 1899. In tests
made by keeping foxes and
feeding them, he has found that
q fox must have a bird or q
rabbit at least every two days.
A fox will have as many as 100
birds-and that means pleas
ants-dUring year. Fox
population Is mounting and
