Der of years muskrats have beer
trapped In this district. they are more
numerous this winter than there were
a few seasons ago, ii Is told. The un.
usually wet summer is cited as a rea-
son for the increased number OF
rat" colonies here,
Thrive When Precipitation Is Great.
1t is said that the animals multiply
much more rapidly In wet years than
when il is dry. This winter they are
being trapped in marshes, where in
the average summe corn may be
grown. Fur dealers declare, how
ever, that the pelts of muskrats
which have built their houses in the
swamps ordinarily are not as prime
as are those of the animals which
frequent the lakes and ponds.
<; i, estimated tnat al least 1000
muskrats alone will be taken in this
county before spring. More than
1900 pelts have already been pur-
chased by a single buyer here.

MUSKRATS GALORE
BOUNTEFIL YEAR Is IN PROS
PECT FOR TRAPPERS IN THE
MADISON DISTRICT.

Approximately fifty men and boy
trappers in Lake county this winter
expect to capture fur bearing animals
whose pelts will be worth at least
$4,000, at first cost Just what these
skins would be valued at after pass
ing through commission house and
;anaosy and after finally being fash
Toned into muffs, neck pieces, gar
ments and trimmings for suits Is a
problem on which fur dealers will
not venture a conjecture.
w. L. Stearns, veteran fur dealer
in this section, has just completed a
buying trip i'm the surrounding coun-
try. Mr.. Stearns said today that con-
ditions point to a fruitful year for the
trappers here, n Of the very best.
in fact, within his recollection.
Fad Helps Some.
The greatest boon to the pelt hunt
er has been the countrywide craze
for fur. it is explained. In all large
cities women wore fur neck pieces
during the entire summer, and tens
of thousands of fur trimmed suits
and boots are being worn this winter.
Mr.. Stearns said that in supplying
suit manufacturers demands for furs
the entire reserve stocks of the COM
moner furs had been absorbed. He
told that this is a condition without
parallel, so far as he knows. and that
it exists In spite Of the fact that ow-
ing to the small demand for them in
warning countries the surplus of pelts
last spring was unusually large. II
is explained that a good idea of the
benefit this has been TO the trappers
may be had when Ii is told that prices
of some of the pelts have increased
more than 100 per cent.
Comparative Prices Look Good.
Chief among the fur bearing ami
mails caught here are muskTat, skunk,
mink and ermine. A year ago skunk
skins were quoted by the big buyers
at 80 cents each. Lists received from
the same firms this week quote skunk
hides at 1925 each. The best grade
muskrat skins early last winter
brought Ia cents while for the same
quality of hides this year 81 cents is
paid. Mink, the demand for which
did not increase in proportion to the
other furs, has jumped from $2.75 in
1914 to 1925 in 1915.
Another item which will add CON
siderably to the trappers' prosperity.
