drawn on the fleshing beam and the hind feet secured to rubber bands fastened to the base of the beam. Then with a small blade slit the tail to the tip from inside.
 Sawdust Useful
 The fleshing tool is then used for scraping the fat clear of the pelt, working from the tail to the head. The use of a generous quantity of fine dry sawdust will absorb much fat and keep it from getting on the fur. Some additional care is neces- sary on the tail, head, and legs to thoroughly clean the hide. After completing the fleshing, rub the skins with some sawdust to pick up all available grease.
 Then turn the pelt fur side out and slip it on board that does not stretch the hide. Tack both traction and be sure the skin is hind feet but only give them slight on the board so that the tail is in the center.

 CT through native cooperatives. These small lots are grouped to fill orders received from dealers who already have learned that they can save time, money and trouble by calling upon Native Arts and Crafts to supply them with handworks from all sections of the Territory rather than themselves going on long treks into the field.
 Prices paid the artisans are those the center has found are what deal- CTS will pay and which are fair to all concerned. A commission of two percent is charged the crafts man and an additional two percent IS put on top of the price to the dealer. On that four percent the center operates and is self sustain ing. All goods handled are pur- chased and resold outright.
 All sales made at the center are wholesale, except that employees of the Alaska Native Service may buy directly from the center.
 School craft products, Aleut bas- kets, Eskimo ivory carvings, South east and Interior Alaska Indian wares, all are received here and sent on to dealers bearing the Mark of Genuineness" assuring that they are handmade by native craftsmen of Alaska
 Proving the growing recognition of it's services, Bu1Tus quotes that business of the center in its first year. 1938-39, was only about $90,- 900. Last year goods handled were valued at close to a quarter million dollars. Ninety-five percent of AL aska native craftsmen are now dis posing of the major portion of their wares through the center, he said.
 There is nc compulsion on the natives to sell to the center. They may set themselves up as retailers or otherwise sell directly, in the manner of the Indian women who spread their moccasins to greet ship travellers at Southeast ports, or oth- erwise dispose. of their products directly However, both craftsmen and buyers have learned the advan- tages of dealing with Native Arts and Crafts; now located at the rear of the entrance foyer of the Gold stein Building, Juneau.

Old Russian Fur Traders
 In Young Days of Alaska
 Were Comparative Pikers

Volume of furs taken by the Rus sions during the heydey of Rus sian exploitation of Alaska was nowhere as great as the fur re- source yields at the present time, it is indicated from records com- piled by Clarence L. Andrews, AL aska historian.
 From 1843 to 1862, for instance, the average annual take of fur seals was 18,644 In l940 the kill under Government supervision in accord with the international fur seal convention, was 65,281.
 Some of the data gathered by Andrews in delving among early records and writings were as fol- lows:
 Furs reported at Kotzebue Sound and Port Clarence in 1867: l4,000 marten At St Michael, l6000 mar ten; and Fort Yukon, 10000 mar ten.
 In the first year of it's trading at Fort Yukon. Hudson's Bay Com pany bought furs to the value of

Raw ground fish. should com prise about 85 percent of the ra- tion. The best results are obtained when a mixture of fish is used; such as, founders, salmon, bull heads and cod fish. Caution should be exercised in feeding salmon alone, particularly as the first fresh salmon are caught in the spring It will cause mink to von it and will produce a pronounced diarrhea that will cause fatalities unless prompt corrections are made by re- ducing the salmon content of the ration. It also appears that a smaller increase results from the prolonged feeding of salmon solely
 The addition of 50 percent sal mon to founders and the other types of scrap fish makes an ex- cellent year around ration. The fish are fed in the round and fresh caught fish are to be preferred.
 Cereals Not Important
 While cereals are widely adver- tised, they do not appear to be of great importance in the mink ra- tion.
 A commercial mixed cereal or a home mixed will suffice, but the cereal portion of the ration must not be large as their droppings be- come too soft and the animals are soon off condition.
 A mixture of whole ground wheat and rolled oats in equal parts or straight whole ground wheat is 
 Five to eight percent is sufficient

 Mink pens need not be large. Five feet in length, two feet wide, and two feet high is of sufficient size. Along the coast of Alaska the en- tire pen must be covered by roof to protect the animals from the constant rain. Pens should be GOV cred with 16-gauge one-inch mesh wire and preferably 12 to Is inches above ground. Double decked houses permit twice the number of animals in a building. It is important that the material used for the roof of the lower pens be impervious so that the lower tier of pens does not become soiled by those above. A good grade of tongue and groove flooring is excellent for this purpose. This, layer Of flooring serves as a dropping board for the upper tier of pens and as a roof for the lower pens. It has a fall of approximately one foot to six feet.
