“In the regions infested by these scavengers the loss in eggs and the young of game birds is very large. Where there are no fences the razor-backs scour the woods so carefully that nothing they will eat escapes. They travel fast and far and rake the country as with a fine tooth comb; their sense of smell is highly developed, and eggs and young of ground-nesting birds are never safe when they are abroad.—Forest and Stream.
