the people around here about a skunk
farm back in Conn.,, the only farm of
the kind in America. Some of them
think l am joking, but | am not. l
have an option on this farm good until
the 4th of Sept. Many years age a
genius of a young fellow conceived the
idea of raising skunks, black fured ones.
He fenced off $50 acres of hill land
that was not worth more than soc. per
acre and went at it. He now has 5000
skunks. and kills $500 yearly for the
hides and oil, averaging him $3.50 per
head. Today this man that the people
laughed so much about 80 years ago
!, has an independent income.
