When and How to Tran So
As to Get Prime Eur PeIts

The only way to so at the bust
ness of trapping wild animals is
with the idea that YOU are going to
make as much money as possible.
To do this, those who are novices
or who have been trapping only a
very short time, should follow Ger
tain rules. And the first and most
important rule of all is-dont trap
until furs are prime.
If young, trappers would remem-
Der this rule they would save them
selves many bitter disappointments
and thousands of dollars every year.
1t is the prime full-furred skins that
bring the money, and it's just as
easy to tran them when they are in
that condition as it is to get them
before they are prime or after the
animals begin to shed.
When you begin trapping this fall
let it be with the idea that you are
gong to get as many prime Or nearly
prime skins as possible. Don't let
your trap carry you to the folly OF
trapping too early, for by early trap
ping you are almost certain to get
the unprime and hence unprofitahle
skins. If left while longer they
would be full furred and bring much
more money.
Here is an instance of how too
early trapping really eurtails the
y
the trapping game and eager to make
some money trapped for mink and
got several in October. He shipped
his pelts off to market where a fair
and expert grader couldn't give them
anything but grading of No. on
account of their sparse hair. The
price the boy got for them was in
the neighborhood of 40 cents apiece
even though some of the pelts were
quite large. !
OF course he was tremendously
disappointed and douhlY so when he
his trapping for few weeks those
same pelts would have brought him
as high as So to 50 a piece.
But when" the beginner asks, ''is
the best time to trap in order to get
or entirely prime skinsa"
The answer can be learned either
from the big st. Louis fur houses or
those who know the ways of animals
and how climatic conditions affect
them-frem books or from personal
experience. But it is generally safe
to say that alnest any skin taken
before November will be unprime.
The beginner should learn at once
to distinguish between prime and
unprime skins. After your first catch
or two you will find no trouble
doing this. real prime peit is one
or creamy in color The inner hair
springing from this flesh is soft and
abQndapt and the outer hair or
''guard' hair is long, thick and even
ly distributed. The unprime pelt, on
the contrary, exhibits a blush tinge
in flesh and both inner and guard"
hair are sparse and uneven. indicat-
ing that the animal is either she'd
ding or growing new hair.
The beginner should not gather
from this that unprime skins are
worthless. Indeed. thousands and
thousands of unprime skins are sod
to market every year and are sold
with profit But these pelts are those
in which shedding has just begun Or
those on which the re-growth is near
ly completed

Pullet love of home and content
ment with simple surroundings, no
matter how humble, makes It adYls-
able to transfer the prospective lay
ers from the range to winter quart
erS early enough in the fall that
they will be thoroughly accustomed
to their new quarters before they
begin to lay. Many practical poul-
trymen neglect this precaution and
maintain their birds under range con-
ditionS almost UP to the beginning
of cold weather with the consequence
that egg laying is retarded and often
jeopardized.
Aocuston, pul1stS to winter Quarters
TimelinesS-and timeliness means
to do today the jobs Of today--is
highly essential in the fall moving
of the flock. The owner Of exhibition
fowls would never neglect to feed
and condition his birds for the ex-
hibition circuit. 1t is just as essen
tial that the producing squads
be properly CHARTERED for the winter
season as early as possible consistent
with the most progressive poultry
mana cement. This means to aceus-
tom the pullets to their cold-weather
home before they begin to lay.
When pullets are moved to the
winter quarters at the right time
they soon become Feeonciled to their
without any Interruption. On the
other hand, if they are kept out on
the range until they attain maturity,
| when they finally are moved TO the
| cold-Weather houses their laying
ability is so seriously checked that
the birds do not produce any eggs
| for several weeks and in some in
stances do not lay again Tor some
months.
Where the mature hens are to be
confined all winter it is essential to
provide three to four square feet OF
| floor space for each bird, while fowls
having free access to range al
| winter in a mild climate in addition
| to comfortable quarters need only
about one and one-hat TO three
square feet of floor space apiece. II

Benefits of Standardization
Without established grades, the
| specialists say, there is no recognized
basis for buying and selling. there is
no Common language by which thu
grower, shipper, transportation com
pany, dealer, and consumer may
Clearly understand each other; ape
there is no standard quality ep9

the sides, ends and roof are weather

As a rule, the same ration that
makes growth also produces plenty
of eggs, so that it is not necessary
to make much change in the pqllet
weather. 1t is worthy. Of special
mention that the United States de-
partment of agriculture, at the gov
errment experiment farm, BeltsVlEe,
Md, kept q number of hens Tor
