w. J. Emerson, a Davenport man,
has started small skunk farm. He
started with pair and now has a
dozen or more. He finds them as
gentle and tractable as cats, the most
perfect confidence existing between
them and their keeper. They follow
him about the city like young dogs,
and are very sensible of the caresses
that he lavishes upon them. "Mr.
Emerson" says the Rock Island argus,
thinks that when the skunk has had
chance TO vindicate himself he will
be able to clear his character Of some
of the baleful aspersions that now
cling to it, and to stand forth in his
true light, an equal to the lOng-hared
poodle and the Thomas cat as a bene-
factor of the human race. At any rate
he proposes to control the skunk mar
ket of the three cities and the ad-
jacent country, and he feels assured of
enough appreciation on the part OF
