Casterline, of Dover, makes a strong appeal in the American Agri culturist for the skunk. He says: Recently there appeared in the American Agriculturist a recipe for poisoning skunks. Why they should be poisoned, farmers here cannot un derstand. It is true it has been charged against them that they suck oggs, destroy poultry, etc, but after a farm life of many years I have never detected the odorous little ani mals in an attempt at robbery in the poultry yard, and I think they are as numerous here as in any other part of the country. Of late years their skins have been much sought after at prices which have induced much hunting for them, and as a result their numbers have been considerably reduced. Four years ago we had our first destructive visitation of the white grub, corn, potatoes, beets, turnips, cabbage and other crops being destroyed or badly injured. Farmers here believe that the rapid increase of the larvae that year was directly traceable to the hunting and trapping of the skunk. Last year brought a less damaging visitation of the grub. In a corn field under my observation the skunks somehow found out what was going on underground; they tapped thous ands of hills and destroyed the de stroyers. This is but one instance and there were many others. Let any one examine the secretion of the skunk and it will be found to consist almost entirely of wing coverts of beetles and the legs of grasshoppers. Before we condemn the skunk to in discriminate slaughter, let us have some testimony to make sure we are not destroying a very useful helper j instead of an enemy. NOW FOR FOOTBALL.
