TRAPPING PROFITABLE.

Grand Forks, NOV. 22.-Aside from
being one Of the most healthful and
enjoyable sports for large number Of
persons, trapping is also profitable
pastime or even a paying occupation
IN the winter time ii it is done right.
Practically every boy on the farm
can find a place to trap SONG animal,
such as fox, muskrat, beaver, skunk.
etc, and by taking pains to cure the
peits, can make good money for his
time
Sknnks are numerous in North Da-
kota, and the price paid by hide and
fur companies for the pelts are high,
therefore, the North Dakota Develop
ment League at Grand torKs has de-
cidel to give a few pointers on the
trapping of this animal which is more
or less a pest around the chicken coop.
Experienced trappers usually catch
the skunk by placing steel trap at
the entrance of the dens. These
traps must be carefully placed and the
earth at the entrance Of the hole
should not be disturbed any more than
is necessary. Fish oil bait is used
in "a great many cases SO that the
scent of the human body will not be
left on the trap Erousd. Persons who
are not experienced in Rkinning the
animals can secure information as to
how to d. this from my fur buying
establishment, and if the process is
carried out rs described in their books.
the skins will be worth a great deal
more than # they ane carelessly strip
ped a6.
One Of the most Interesting features
looked forward to in western North
Dakota i the fact that the closed sea-
son on beavers will be opened the first
of the year and next January the ami
mab can be lawfully caught in the
state. The season for beavers in
North Dakota has been closed for a
number Of years because of the fact
that trey were almost extinct. For
some time past, however, the beavers
have been causing great deal of
damage in western North Dakota. In
some places groves have been entirely
destroyed by the animals; hundreds
of feet Of valuable timber have been
cut down and large dams have been
built across streams, causing foods
to damage thousands Of acres of good
farming land. For these reasons
western farmers have complained and
protested so strongly to the govern
ment that the season has been opened
for short time in 1918. Beaver Ualts
are Of great value and it is anticipat-
ed by old timers of the state that rs
much interest win be tak4n in the bea-
yer trapping next yaer as was taken

and purpose. A new vigor Of con-.
mon counsel and common action has
been revealed in US. We should es-
pecially thank God that in the midst
Of the greatest enterprise the spirits
