Trapping Looks Easy, go. =
Wild-animal trapping. looss"easy to
most farm boys until they have tried
and failed. Success demands knowl-
edge of the animals. and their habits.
The red fox, flor instance, must be
caught by wiles as. cunning as his own.
Traps and the ground where they are
set must be free from human scents.
Steel traps are cleaned by'boillng with
pungent twigs or by hurying or leaving
in running water for a day or two, af-
ter which they should be handled only
with leather or waxed cotton gloves.
Breeding grounds, hunting grounds and
peculiar habits Of the animals should
be well studied beforehand. Traps are
sometimes set in springs that do not
generally freeze over. A little island
is built up some time before the trap
is set. A No. 2 or No. 3 steel trap is
imbedded in the soil with a piece of
moss covering the pan. A bit of faint
ed meat, preferably game, is used for
bait.
In making a land set, a shallow hole
is made to conceal the trap and the
stake and chain which hold it. The
earth removed should be placed on a
cloth, and all that Is not used should
be carried away. The trap is covered
with dry, earth, free from anything
which would clog the jaws.
Foxes often follow paths or trails.
