FURSEASONOF
COMING WINTER
IS PROMISING

Within a few weeks another trap
ping season begins. Many are al
ready wondering what fur values
will be. Nearly all raw furs have
heen selling at highest prices ever
known during the past year. No one
knows lust what prices will be, but
Judging from present conditions
weeks before date of this issue)
prospects are for continued high
prices for most raw furs.
Unless something unexpected hap
pens before November trappers can
feel assured that raw fur values will
be high. Some reports sent out last
spring stating that marten reached
5000; fisher, SITS; silver fox, $476j
cross fox, 5000; red fox, $50; mink,
SIS; skunk, black, S.; skunk, long,
S., etc., are apt to be misleading.
True, these prices were realized for
q very few of the very best skins out
of thousands. Many, in fact most
furs of same grade, but not as fine
quality, sold at prices ranging as low
as one-fourth the top.
Most states now have laws pro-
hibiting hunting and trapping only
during the season when fur and pelt
are in best condition. The lawful
trapping season for land animals is
usually from about November Is to
February Is. Northern localities and
high mountain range furs are pretty
good by November l. South and
southwest land animals are only in
fair condition a couple of months-De-
cember and January. Muskrat, otter

and beaver in most states are best
during February, March and April
Steel traps are kept by most hard
ware and general stores. It is advisa-
BILE to lay in your supply now if you
have not already done so. Several
of the fur houses now handle hunters
and trappers' supplies and issue a
catalogue. During the past few years
several new steel traps have ap-
peared. Just how many traps trap.
per needs and the sizes will depend
upon how extensively trapping is to
be carried on as well as what ami
amls are sought.
Mink, marten, muskrat, skunk,
civet cat and oppossum do not re-
quire a strong trap-next to the
smallest size being much used; foxes,
coon and wildcat somewhat larger.
There are special traps and sizes
made for otter, wolf and other ami
mails. Sizes mentioned by manufac.
trrers and catalogues as adapted to
the various animals are usually about
right, yet if anything size larger
than necessary. It does not take as
strong or large trap to hold as gen
orally supposed.
The would-be trapper should al
ways be on the lookout for signs.
Much that will be of value can be
learned by observing the habits OF
fur-bearers. Keep an eye open so as
to learn where coyote and fox travel
whether along ridges, trails, ravines

a wide-mouthed bottle and let stand
for several weeks or until it is de-
cayed, having an offensive odor Do
not place in the sun. When decOm-
posed add a quart of some oil-lard
will do. Prairie dog oil is excellent
and much better than lard. Now add
half ounce of assafoetida dissolved
in alcohol with an ounce of beaver
castor If beaver castor cannot be
had an ounce of the common musk
sold for perfumery will answer. Mix
thoroughly and bottle securely until
used.
Numerous scent preparations are
now made and on the market These
are put up in bottles or cans with in
structions showing how to use. Some,
however, may wish to experiment in
making their own scent and the re-
ment employees. It takes several
weeks for the meat to decompose as
it should so that this should not be
delayed if you wish to try scent of
this mixture at the beginning of the
season.
A fox scent is made from musk
glands of muskrat and the scent bag
and scent of skunk mixed with a
half pint of animal oil, such as lard.
Oil made from the fat of prairie dog,
skunk, or coon is probably better than
lard. This is loud-smelling mixture
and can be used in connection with
both bait and blind sets.
Another scent that is used by some
trappers for mink, coon, etc., is fish
oil. This is made by placing several
small fish in a bottle and placing in
the sun for an hour or so daily until
an oil forms. The fish should be cut
into several pieces so as to decay
sooner. A few drops is used at each
set Some think that anise oil has
attractive power for coon and per,
haps other animals.
These and other artificial lures
and scents are recommended by
many good trappers, while others sell
| dom use them. Bait, not scent, such
as fowl, fish, rabbit, meat of various
kinds are much used not only by steel
| trap trappers but the deadfall trap
per as we'll. That bait attracts is
| proved from the fact that marten
mink, skunk, coon, Opossum and
other fur animals are caught in sets
often rods from any den.
+ While there is no question but that
both scent and bait are a help in TAX
ing fur animals, care in making the
set is equally if not more important
There are some sets for fox anC
coyote where best results will be had
if neither are used. knowing the
habits and nature of animals has
much to do with successful trapping
