A Blow 10 the Skunk Industry.

So many complaints have been made
to the post office department that there
have been shipments of skunk pelts
through the mails. which give out in
transmission a very offensive odor,
makes it impossible for the clerks in
the railway mail service and at the
offices of destination to distribute the
mail until it has been exposed to the
air for some time. that it has been
necessary to call the attention of post
masters generally to the fact that the
postal law prohibits the mailing Of any
article exhaling bad odor.
Skunk pelts are very valuable for
furs and are sent to the large cities,
dyed and dressed and much used on
account of the sOftncsS of the hair. 1t
is said that no matter how carefully
the dressing is done, the Odor Will ad-
here to the pelt and will be noticeable
in the damp air years after.
Many Of these animals are captured
through Maine and the pelts sent
away In the neiShboring town of
Manchester one man, last fall. aided
by his dog killed and dressed over 100
A remarkable feature in such cases is
that these hunters are 50 expert IN
their methods of killing and handling
that there is never the slightest Odor
exhaled from their clothing.
The general order just promulgated
prohibits the acceptance Of any Of
these pelts to be transmitted in The
United States mails.
