RAISING POLE CATS

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 5.-Raising
pole cats for their fur is the unique.
mot to say precarious, enterprise
launched by Fulton county farmer
who makes speciality of capturing
the cats when they are kittens.
Being a practiced hunter of the
dreaded little animal with the fam
GUS smell, the farmer finds a mother
skunk with litter of kittens, slays
the mother skunk, and takes the kit
tens home and removes the glands
where they secrete their "poison."
When this is done, the raising of
the kittens to be grown cats is COM
paratively easy, according to the en-.
terprising farmer, who claims that a
pole cat kitten will soon become as
tame as an ordinary domestic cat.
