dams and trappers claim that the
flesh of the skunk is as tender and
delicious as spring chicken.
In some neighborhoods, skunks
have been blamed for the loss of
poultry. Maybe skunk did crave
tender broiler or two, through

prit was rat or weasel. The fact
fumes from recent gas attack ad-
ninistered by the wood pussy is
no reason to decide that the loss
OF poultry even in this case is trac-
able to him. The encounter may
havs been between two sworn enc
mics, the skunk and another night
hunter settling an old score.
Insects. grubs, carrion, mush-
rooms. unripened corn, soft fruit
and berries make up most of the
market list of skunks. Besides, they
are very fond of small rodents, and,
As you know, rodents are foes of

Skunks are diggers. Their strong
plantigrade feet are provided with
very strong claws. These are the
only tools the animal has for dig
cing in soft soils in which burrows
are made. and for routing out fat
juicy grubS from their hiding places.
Sometimes these animals will be-
come so prosperous as TO be prob

the floors of porch, an clubhouse
or garage. Friendly among them
