A Unique Trap. Cut a small bush (spruce or 

 pine is best) stick it up in deep snow or through 

 the ice of a small river or stream; such a curious 

 thing will attract animals to it, being new to them. 

 Small pieces of meat, and several traps placed 

 here and there about it, -is pretty sure to land an 

 animal or two after a few nights. Scent your main 

 bait, which should hang so as the animal must put 

 his foot on the pan of trap to reach it. 



Another One. Bore holes in the ground and 

 fill them with bait scented, in a circle, your trap 

 in the center, is mighty apt to catch something, es- 

 pecially if two natural logs V shape lay near it. It 

 is sure death to Wolves if the bait is poisoned and 

 frozen. 



Burning 1 Sulphur or Brimstone Placed in the 

 hole of any animal will smother them out or kill 

 them. 



Skunks in Their Holes Will not throw their 

 scent. Old trappers put their hands in and pull 

 them out by the tail, hitting them with a club the 

 moment their head appears. They will not bite at 

 these times, so don't be afraid. 



Trap Set for Skunk Needs no covering, they 

 are not suspicious but go right in. 



All Water Animals Are prime while ice is in 

 the rivers or streams. 



Clean and Smoke Your Traps Using smoke 

 from feathers of birds. Never handle tlitm with 

 bare hands. Wash them well and oil them first. 



Wash Traps With weak lye or soapsuds, then 

 grease and smoke them over burnt feathe'rs, and 

 never touch them with the hands. 



It is Not Safe To send hides to market green 

 except in winter or freezing cold weather. 



Unseasonable Purs Are graded 2, 3 or 4, last 

 grades, and are only prime No. I in early winter.

 success.
