Moosehead lake at tho close Of the
year for the purpose Of casting their
antlefs. Though the story has passed
for fiction among the Caucausian resi-
dents. there are not a few old hunters
and woodsmen who believe Ii, and re-
late tales about the abundance ~
moose antlers among the maple woods
Is miles north Of this village
Charles Anance, a half-breed, says
that he oiled two boxcars with discard
ed antlsrs SIX years ago. and shipped
fhem 70 New York where cutlery manu-
facturers purchased the lot for knife
handles he cleared 5000 from a weeks
work.
The frst white man who used his
kaowledge was old "Cy'' Blanchard

of Gov. Cobbs council, The old man
yes the owner of vast timber tracts

land was sold to settlers the town OF

Moro than l.500 mooae antl7rs have

most Of them have been broken by

The moose of Maine drop their ant

though a few very aged ones may re-
tain these ornaments until February.
Old hunters say that they could go out
|among these woods so years ago and
pick up hayrack of fine antlers in a
forenoon, though they have not been
so plentiful of late
Though moose antlers will keep for
an indefinite time when housed and
removed from moisture. they fall to

These shed in the winter remain firm
until spring but as soon as warm
weather arrives small borer gets into
them and reduces them to fine powder
