IIott Owla Catch Cfclclceaa. When I was a chunk of a boy I shot a horned owl. the spread of whose wings was four and one-half feet, and, to the surprise of the boy who bad car
ried it for several miles, the weight was only four pounds. They were rather numerous at that time In that section of the country and were troublesome about carrying off chickens, which mostly roosted in apple trees about the farm buildings. The belief that they could carry away full grown hens was a common one. It was also commonly believed that an owl never picked a chicken off the roost but alighting on the limb, crowded the chicken off and as it flew toward the ground caught it on the wing.
