CATCHING MUSKRATS & SKUNKS.
Several Shepherdstown men are en-.

The hides of the animals bring a good

come for their skill and diligence.
The muskrats are caught in traps set
ouoS1 Notcl, WhSIC tioy are hIlOWH
to congregate, and one man has caught
three or four at the same time in one
trap. The skunks are generally
caught in steel traps, and though con-
siderable care is taken the most sue
cessfHl hunter generally smells the
loudest. 1t is said that the flesh of
both the muskrat and skunk makes
good eating, but we haven't heard of

truthfulness of the statement.
