Everett Pritchett and Gay Bates
write from Cable, Wis, that wild
ducks are SO thick and tame there
that they can go out any morning and
grab one from it's roost, and cut it's
head off, like we ordinarily slaughter
a chicken. Rabbits are so large that
"a ham" makes a meal, and the bal
ance OF the carcass is hung up for flu
ture reference. Fishing is so good
they never catch one until they want
to eat it. The oys are having a good
time.-Record.

Is 1T BADGER?


In old England there were more
travelling dealers in all sorts OF
household and personal commodi-
ties than there were shopkeepers.
Those who carried their wares IN a
basket-the old word for which
was ped-were called Pedlars, and
those who carried them, in a bag
were known as baggers or Badgers.
Hence the surname Badger. There

Badgery further contracted the
name 70 Badger.
