5/13/16 Foxes' Den Near House / Mr. O.M. Chandler, Missing Poultry, Finds Den of Foxes Near His Door. It is not given to every one to have the denizens of the woods come within a few feet of their front door to rear their young, but such was the experience of Mr. O. M. Chandler, who lives on the Peters' farm, on the bay, a few miles from Snow Hill.
Mr. Chandler had frequently missed fowl from his barnyard and poultry house, a setting hen being sometimes taken, sometimes the eggs, and in some instances both hen and eggs would disappear.
At last, one afternoon about two weeks ago he discovered a red fox busily engaged in tearing to pieces and making a meal off of one of his big fat hens. This gave him a clew to the disappearance of his poultry, and he called on Mr. George Smack, his neighbor, to assist him in hunting down the marauders. Accordingly, Mr. Smack took his pack of hounds to Peters farm that afternoon. The hounds easily found the trail, and followed it over devious and winding ways, until it was lost near the house. They were put on the trail again and again, but on every occasion the dogs lost the trail at or near the same place. Mr. Smack finally became convinced that the fox had a den somewhere near the barnyard.
A thorough search was made of the premises, with the view to discovering the den of the fox. With characteristic cunning the foxes had used the ventilator of the old hot bed, crawling through it a distance of nearly 150 feet. The ventilator, which was boxed, was so narrow that once inside it the fox scarcely had room to turn around, but would have to go forward, or back out. The end of the ventilator nearest the house was closed, and here, at a distance of about 200 feet from his door, the foxes had burrowed in the ground, and were boldly rearing their young. feeding them on the fat of the land from Mr. Chandler's hen roosts, or from any vantage point they could effect a capture.
The female fox and three cubs were found in the den, and Mr. Smack has them in captivity. The cubs are thought to be from four to six weeks old.
6/10/16 Between eighty and ninety acres, requiring 250 barrels of seed potatoes, is the acreage that Mr. O.M. Chandler has planted in early white potatoes on the Fairfield Farm..This is probably the largest planting in Worcester County. Mr. Chandler used seventy five tons of fertilizer on his crop. He has already mixed 200 pounds of Paris green, and an additional 100 pounds which he has ordered will scarcely meet his requirements for use in spraying the vines. Mr. Chandler reports the crop to be in fine condition with prospects good for a big yield. He expects the tubers to be ready for marketing early in July.
9/16/16 Snow Hill fishermen have had some good sport this week fishing for trout in Sinepuxent Bay by moonlight. On Wednesday night, messrs. O.M. Chandler, Carson Chandler, W.E. Colona, Walter Walsh and Dr. Riley caught 114 nice trout and they were not very well fixed for bait.
9/20/16 Mr. Walter Walsh, of New York, who has been on a visit to his sister, Mrs. Chandler, returned home last Wednesday. He had a thoroughly enjoyable trip. Mr. Chandler took him around the county and he went a-fishin' several times with good success.
