Show Fox Worried by Food Problem. It is not often that the sly fox reveals re-veals to man his method of securing his daily ruii.tns ; so that men of Canton Can-ton Cen:re. Conn., who were haul:::;, logs were quite surprised recently to see a 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 repeated re-peated several times, the fox jumping 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. |
