COTTON TAILS HUNTED
SIauehter This Season Is
Large--Demand Is
Good For Them

This season Will 60 down in history
as an especially disastrous one for the
cotton tails of this county. Not that
they could not get any food or any
thing of the kind; rather has it been
most favorable season so far for the
wood land hoppers, lack of snow en-
abling them to still get their nourish-
ment from the marshes and not forcing
them to fall back on bark as yet. AS
a consequence they are plump and fat.
and their flesh is fully as tender and
sweet as chicken. In fact some Will
tell you that they taste even better
than the barn. yard fowl.
ALI this has tended to make the
hunting of them a most popular
pastime, as besides this December has
been a very mild month. Every Sun
dav there is a big exodus of local
nimrods to the woods ana marshes and
the hunt is carried on systematically
causing the downfall of hundreds OF
the rabbits.
During the past month the local
meat markets have sold close TO a
thousand of the bunnies to its Gus
TONERS and during the past couple
weeks at least a thousand or tno
cotton. tails have been shipped to the
Twin cities from this city.
Considering the plentlness OF the
rabbits, the prices paid for them are
remunerative. Fifty cents dozen ls
| being paid for tho white rabbits and
sixty cents a dozen for the cotton. tails.
Alvah Ashcraft, Chas Owens. Carl
Johnson, Jos. Ehman and s1x others Of
the planer mill crew hunted the cotton
tails in Green Prairie last Sundayf
getting total of eighty three. A party
Of eight headed by Albert Briese and
son also hunted IN that vicinity last
Sunday, and bagged a total of two
hundred and ninety rabbits Thus
party has been especially successful
during tho past fall and winter, but
in last Sundays shoot 1t established q
new record.

northern California and Oregon, and
has offered Mr.. DeLaHunt' $3.50 per
month to take charge of a branch
Office which 1t Is to open up In Los

Training, Domestic and
Agricultural Courses ::

A biz step was taken in the right
direction for the education OF the

of education, with the exception of the
secretary, we're out looking over sew
eraI desirable 25-acre sites within q

tion asking for such information hav-
lug already been sent, and reply be-
ing expected within a short time.
