sense used in simple manner was the
entire secret of my great success. 1t was
the usual custom in setting fox-trap TO
place the bait on the trap. A toN Is al
WAYS suspicious. When he sees piece OF
meat or a dead bird. chicken, or whatever
il NAV be living near or in the barn yard,
or wherever the trap may be set, he does
not make dash for it AT once. He feels
that there is something wrong. yet his
curiosity and his desire tor the tempting
morsel will lead him to investigate the
matter Many and many a sly old fox has
conquered his appetite and his curiosity on
close inspection of a bait of this kind, and
placed as much distance as he could be-
tween himself and the dangerous place !;
but now and then one will venture TO seize
the bait and get caught. A fox's manner
of approaching a baited trap is peculiar.
He trots around in circles, beginning with
large ones. and gradually narrowing them
until he reaches the bait, upon which he
keeps constantly his suspicious but greedy
eve. After watching on old fox approach
a trap in this way. and get near enough to
seize the bait, and then seeing him turn
and get away from the spot as fast as he
could | concluded that | knew a trick
worth two of his. placed my bait on
the ground and set nv trap, nicely hidden
from view, several feet away. When the
fox came and began his circling around,
with his eyes constantly on the meat he
coveted the first thing he knew he stepped
on the hidden trap and he was no longer
interested in the bait that tempted him. |
never knew this manner of setting fox
trap to fail in capturing the fox if one
came to inspect the bait where twas set. y
