"Uncier the depredations of hawks, stoats, and weasels, our game birds are diminishing with the exception of ducks, which are holding their own. Whiat I son. Avondering is, what will be the result when the birds are gone, so fair as the htoiat is concerned? When the stoats have got rid of the birds, and the raboits, are they going to tackle lambs? Sheep farmers have told me that thov are quite, satisfied that they have lost' soin<e of their iambs through, the attack of stoats. Lamlis have been picked up dead with the typical punctures behind the neck, and shepherds have reported seeing stoats hanging on to Lambs."
