pretty to eat, and so it was put away,
only to be taken out when Mr.. Doane's

creased in population, in some cases
to an alarming degree. Speakers on

Winnebago county is losing a very
interesting industry. Robert Doemel
is transferring his skunk farm from
Oshkosh to Green Bay.
Mr.. Doemel is making the change
for the reason that he can secure food
for his skunks cheaper at Green Bay.
He has made a contract for the offal
from a fish house at that place, and
this sort of food will be both cheaper
and better than that available at Osh-
kosh.
The Oshkosh man has purchased
twenty acres of land a couple of miles
out of Green Bay and has fenced in
several acres for the animals. The
rest of his land will be planted with
garden truck. John KOlb of Oshkosh
Is Will MI. OO6u1St, anu ChS CWO VIZ
keep bachelors half on the farm in
Brown county.
The skunks are confined in a novel
enclosure. To make the fence, a
trench is dug about a foot and halt
or two feet deep, and filled with con-
crete. Posts are set in the concrete
and ordinary poultry fence wire is
used above the ground Boards al
the top of the posts keep the animals
from climbing out if they climb the
wire.
Mr.. Doemel started his skunk farm
a few years ago by capturing a few
animals and adding to the number
from time to time as he came upon
nests of them. BY the aid of scientific
breeding methods, he has raised the
number to between 500 and 500. He
has purchased several pure black ami
mails for breeding purposes, and has
sold some very fine skins in the last
few years. The skins and the oil both
bring a good price on the market.
The average person wonders how
these animals can be handled with
safety Mr.. Doemel does not have
much trouble with them. He goes GU
among the animals to feed them ant
care for them just as if they were Sc
many house cats So long as they
are not harmed or frightened, they are
just as peacable and inoffensive as 81
many kittens.
