The value of this take would bo about as follows : 



575 anlnmls nt $7 $4,025.00 



375 unliiijila at $8.25 3, 4»W. 75 



50 animals at $7.50 375.00

On the other hand the two months' season allowing a take of J)50 

 animals with fur in prime condition in practically all cases would 

 produce : 



575 skins at $9.25 $5,318.75 



375 skins at $9 3,375.00 



Total value of 950 skins 8.693.75 



Thus by taking r)0 fewer animals in two months the actual re- 

 ceipts from the fur crop wouhl be $825 more than would have been 

 brought by the 1,000 animals taken over a period of three months. 



In this way the two principal objects liave been accomplished, 

 namely saving the adequate breeding .stock and increasing the profits.
