I near a small log extending into shallow 
I water. The beginner would be apt to 
I put a fish on top of the log, but the ex- 
perienced pelt hupter would arrange the 
bait with sticks so it appeared it washed 
there, ready to feed the animal. Details 
must not be slighted if one expects big 
pay for the time spent on his line. 
When arranging meat lures for mink, 
it is best to have it above the water. If 
craw-fish are selected, anchor them 
I among stones in riffles where the fur 
bearers naturally expect to find them. 
When the head of a rabbit is employed 
for weasel, place it so as to give a lifelike 
appearance. 
Never leave boot marks around traps. 
Eradicate them so far as possible. For 
mink and raccoon, human smell may be 
destroyed by dashing water over that 
I with which the hands have come in con- 
tact. However, remember if a scent is 
used, it must be placed last of all, otber- 
: wise one will wash it away. 
Rain affects most of the artificial baits. 
A heavy downpour will cause even the 
I best to be worthless, for the odor van- 
ishes. Let me add, too, an injunction 
^ never to pour such decoys on the ground. 
A twig dipped in the mixture is ideal. 
S OME trappers skin the animals they 
catch while covering their line. This 
saves them carrying the heavy and 
in many cases, soaked carcasses. How- 
ever, when this is done, never leave them 
for the others to feed on, for if this is 
done, baits will not prove as effective as 
they otherwise would. Once in a while, 
I however, it is a good idea to locate small 
' bits of flesh at promising spots to see 
whether they are disturbed or not. In 
case they are, likely places for sets can 
frequently be had. 
The young pelt hunter often does not 
stop to consider that meat too near houses 
may draw dogs and cats instead of fur 
bearers. Again, crows and hawks fre- 
quently molest flesh when it can be plain- 
ly seen. It is best to cover such attrac- 
tors lightly with brush or weeds. When 
this is done there is less chance of it 
being stolen.

The publishers of Forest and Stream 
desire to inform the public that it is 
impossible for them to assume re- 
sponsibility for satisfactory transac- 
tions between buyers and sellers brought 
in contact through these columns. 
This applies particularly to dogs and 
live stock. In transactions between 
strangers, the purchase price in the 
form of a draft, money order or cer- 
tified check payable to the seller should 
be deposited with some disinterested 
third person or with this office with 
the understanding that it is not to be 
transferred until the dog or other 
article that is the subject of negotia- 
tion has been received and upon ex- 
amination found to be satisfactory.
