give you a letter of introduction recommend- 

 ing you as a successful trapper who will do 

 his neighbor a great deal of good So, leav- 

 ing your skins with your friend, and having 

 shaken hands all around with the family, say 

 good-bye and move on to your trapping 

 ground. First set out your traps, and when 

 you go to your new boarding place you find 

 yourself a welcome guest again as long as you 

 can catch game. This will be found a very 

 pleasant way of working. 



Always leave your skins on the stretchers 

 until you get ready to ship. Try to ship 

 your furs once a month or oftener. When 

 you get ready to make a shipment leave your 

 outfit with the man with whom you are board- 

 ing, borrow a horse and saddle from him, 

 gather your furs together from the different 

 farmers, send them off, and then go back and 

 get to work again.
