A Puzzle
a Day

A man owned a square piece
of ground. He wished to keep one
fourth of it for himself; and to d.
vide the remainder among his four
sons, each of whom must receive a
plot of land exactly the same in size
and shape as those of his three broth
ers.
The father, moreover, decided that
his share must adjoin each plot be-
longing to the four sons, with an
equal amount of frontage on each one.
How did he divide the land?
Yesterdays answer:
The original number is 8. Multi
piled by itself (3x3) gives 8, which
inverted Co is the sum of the original
number added to itself e plus 81.
When the result (9) is multiplied
by itself (9x9) it forms a new result
S1), which. reversed QS), is the sum
of the result added to itself e plus 3D..

 Three changes are noteworthy in the above:
 FIRST-The fox season has been advanced to December 1st and ex- tended to March 3lst. Thts Is to prevent the great in1Ax of unprims skins into the hands of the tradars during the early days of the open season. We estimate that the mon. ey value of the fox, catch can be increased more than. 1o& by giv. ing the animals 15 days more to mature before trapping. The advisabilfty of prescribing different open seasons for white fox and red fox was discussed. but the habits and ranges of the two species are too closely associated to allow of this.
 SECOND-The change in the muskrat season is radical and. we believe, efficacious.
 The long midwinter season is not wanted either by trappers or trad CTS. It leads to destruction of \ houses and runaways that would certainly exterminate the rat if long continued. The forty days open season at the breakup gives the l hunter a chance to select and shoot the finest rats at time when theil pelaee has reached it's highest | point of excellence.
