He spread his black wings and soon

He had observed that often Flip the

The skunk, like so many of the
other folks of the outdoors, has for
his special protection two guns that
are filled with an amber-colored, SUI

tack is never rendered without warn

the skunk, he has played his part
honorably. and perhaps his own safety
is at stake. What more could we
expect?
The woodpussy clan has furnished
of man. At one time the skunk tribe
was indeed flourishing one. The
fur wore we'll and could be bought
from traders by the fur companies at
a price that left good profit. Life
became hectic for the black and white
"gun-toters." The annual catch in
Canada alone from 1919 to 1922. in
elusive. was more than 100000. This
amount can with safety be doubled.
In our own States the total number
of skunks killed ran into the millions
The animal was not given a chance to
rebuild its numbers. Then prices Of
the pelts began to climb and skunk
farms began to appear.
The fur of the skunk is deep rich,
glossy black on strong leathery skin
that when dressed wears and wears.
The young skunks on farm are dis
armed by very minor operation. and
the one and only objection is removed.
Skunk is now advertised as Alaskan
sable" with no perfume in sultry or
rainy, warm weather to give its true
origin away.
Indians and trappers of the early
days hunted for the young skunks as
their special meat dish, for the flesh
is reported even to this day as tender
and sweet. 1t is fried, broiled or
roasted, as we'll as in many ways SINH.

However, We are much more inter-

and do everything in your power to
establish friendly relations.

His plume must be lifted at a As
