INTERESTING COMMUNICATION
 OF VALUE TO TRAPPERS

Thet Sentinel is in receipt of a
 )mmunication from wv. Weaver,
 ne we'll known custom tanner and manufacturer of Reading, Michi- gan, which will be of help to the many trappers of this region when they are working with either frog en or dry fox or mink tails.
 MT. Weaver discovered when try ing to save some very pretty South American squirrel tails that the control cord would split the tail straight without using a knife. He advocates using this method as il avoids the possibility of a knife slipping and making a bad mark in the skin.
 It is MT. Weaver's observation that all tame fox are much latter than wild fox and need extra care in the tail and in removing fat.
 Following are some valuable sug- gestions made by MT. Weaver rela- tive to skinning specimens in the field:
 Bear skins: Turn out the ears and leave turned until dry. Turn nose wrong side out. to dry. Turn claws clear to last joint. then dry Salt does not hurt in these extremi ties. The jaws sawed off with the teeth are salable.
 Fox: I lay all the stress on the tail. In splitting cut deep and you will find cord that controls the motion of the tail running the length of the tail. Pick up this cord and cut it at the base. Point your knife along the side of this cord and you will get a straight split on the tail without taking the chance of a knife slipping an1 ,ak- ing a ragged cut. This method works out fine where a tail has Q" come dry. You will notice on ta- fox that the tail is fatter ana needs a little scraping. Stretching the tail, lay lath on the hair and tack down. Stretch or pull on the other side of the tail with the hair and lay the hair down. This does not need to be drawn drum tight. A tannery man turns the front legs of fox four times to co lplete this work and it is easier to have the legs split from the knee joint down. The bones are taken out clear to the last joint.

that the exchange had been the tar

of Minnesota Excellent
More than three quarters OF the
men students at the University of
Minnesota and nearly one fourth of

a compilation from university census
cards made by f. z. Nicholson, dean
of student affairs The figures apply

Of the approximately $500 who have
registered since the beginning of the
present university year.
Forty four percent Of the men stu
dents considered, or 231S out of 5000,
are partially self supporting. Tween
tyseven percent, or 1925, are wholly
self supporting, and the remainder,
1457, are dependent.
Among the women students, out
OF 2736 to sign cards, 419 described
themselves as partly self supporting
1856 as wholly so. and there are 1881
who draw their support entirely
from others.
Many do not fill out census cards
and there are others who have failed
to answer the question regarding the
source of their incomes, but the

commentary on the democracy of

Nicholson said. Many eastern col
