Hunts Skunks In Arkansas.

The Dodge City Globe-Republican
gives an illustrated article in account
Of one Maj. Ben Ferguson, of that city
who makes his living by catching
skunks. He hunts his prey in the sandy
soil along the Arkansas river, and his
mode is a very simple one. He tracks
abe skunks to their hole and then
digs them out with spade, when his
two dogs complete the capture. One
of these dogs is an Irish setter and
the other a fyce, and the little fyce
uilI capture and kill skunk quicker
than the larger dog. Ferguson cap
tures about SC skunks week. He
dresses the skins and tries the fat
into oil, for which he receives four dol
,ars gallon. The hides average a
value of 90 cents apiece. In one year
Mai. Ferguson took 5000 worth of oi
and hides, and he expects to exceed that
during the present winter. On TAX
ing skunk the body is thrown into
water for "a hours, when, by the addi'
tion of little coal oil, the smell prac
iieally is destroyed.
