WHEN TO TRAP
TO GET MOST
The only way to go at the business
of trapping wild animals is with the
idea that you are going to make as
much money as possible.
To do this those who are novices
or who have been trapping only a
very short time, should follow cer
tain rules. And the first and most
important rule of all is—don’t trap
until furs are prime.
If young trappers would remem
ber this rule they would save them
selves many bitter disappointments
and thousands of dollars every year.
It is the prime, full-furred skins that
bring the money, and its just as easy
to tray lubiii wnen tuey are m mat
condition as it is to get them before
they are prime or after the animals
begin to shed.
When you begin trapping this fall
let it be with the idea that you are
going to get as many prime or nearly
prime skins as possible. Don’t let
your eagerness to find furred money
makers in your trap carry you to the
folly of trapping too early for by ear
ly trapping you are almost certain to
get the unprime and hence unprofita
ble skins. If left a while longer they
would be full furred and bring much
more money.
Here is an instance of how too
i
early trapping really curtails the
trapper’s profits: A youth, new to
the trapping game and eager to make
some money, trapped for mink and
got several in October. He shipped
his pelts off to market where a fair
and expert grader couldn’t give them
anything but a grading of No. 4 on ac
count of their sparse hair. The
price the boy got for them was in the
neighborhood of 40 cents apiece even
though some of the pelts were quite
large.
Of course he was tremendously
disappointed, and doubly so when he
learned later that if he had put off
his trapping for a few weeks those
same pelts would have brought him
as high as $8 to $9 apiece.
“ ‘But when,’ the beginner asks, ‘is
the best time to trap in order to get
nearly prime or entirely prime skins?'
The answer can be learned either
from the furhouses or those who
know the ways of animals and how
climatic conditions affect them—
from books or from personal experi
ence. But it is generally safe to say
that almost any skin taken before
November will be unprime.
The beginner should learn at on00
to distinguish between prime and un
prime skins. After your first catch
or two you will find no trouble in do
ing this. A real prime skin is one
in which the skin is pink and white
or creamy in color. The inner hair
springing from this flesh is soft and
abundant and the outer hair or
‘guard’ hair is long, thick and evenly
distributed. The unprime pelt on the
contrary exhibits a bluish tinge in
the flesh, and both inner and ‘guard’
hair are sparse and uneven, indicat
ing that the animal is either shed
ding or growing new hair.
The beginner should not gather
(from this that unprime skins are
worthless. Indeed, thousands and
thousands of unprime skins are sent
to market every year and sold with
profit. But these pelts are those in
which shedding has just begun or
those on which the regrowth is near
ly completed.
REMEDIES CALL FOR FAITH
Truly Weird and Wonderful Are Some
"Cures” for Various Ills of
the Human Body.
Weird and wonderful are the reme
dies advised in different parts of the
world for diseases which affect hu
manity.
Sufferers from rheumatism may be
pleased to hear that there are people
who claim to have found a sure cure
for their malady by binding split
mackerel around the affected part'.
The town of Lee, in England, still
has on record the famous cure knowm
as the "Lee Penny.” This coin was
brought from (the Holy Land by a Cru
sader. On many occasions when the
health of the people has been threat
ened this penny has been used. "Three
dips and one sw’irl” in a bucket of wa
ter were supposed to endow’ the liquid
with healing properties.
In many parts of Europe it is
thought that passing under an ass a
child suffering from w’hooping cough
wdll bring instant relief.
Almost every one has heard of the
curing of warts by touching them
with a wedding ring. This “cure” Is
perhaps not so well known: Make the
sign of the cross on a wart, at the
same time chanting: ‘What I see, that
I wish; what I wish, that disappears.”
