MONEY IN TRAPPING
Milton Man Makes Good In
come Selling PeIts of
Small Animals.
HOPES FOR HARD WINTER

William Filby. living near Milton.
who spends most of his time trapping.
finds the vocation both enjoyable and
profitable. So far this season he has
secured enough pelts to net him $3.50.
They include coon skins, muskrat hides
polecat skins. and other animals which
frequent the streams and woods around
Milton.
A very good season is anticipated
this winter by Mr.. Filby. who is expect
ing long cold spell. which will make
the pelts of the fur bearing animals
that much more valuable. He is now
preparing his traps for the winter sea-
son and has field of operation out
lined which will take him several miles
from Milton each day.
