THE WILDCAT. 



73 



Or, set a trap near the knoll where you find 

 the dung, and one near the log where it crosses 

 the stream in the manner just described. One 

 or two drops of oil of sassafras may be used 

 near the bait, and will draw your game a long 

 way. By this process you will soon break 

 into the arrangements of the wildcat. 



The directions for removing and stretching 

 the skin of the beaver, given on page 64, apply 

 to the wildcat, except that the legs of the lat- 

 ter should be split.
