the ‘largest. house in the:
dealing exclusively in. American
raw furs, i in a letter to the editor
says in part as follows:—. -

Does the average farmer stop
to ,consider the thousands and

paid out every year by the large
fur houses for the skins of the
farm yard pests? The mink—a

menace to the chicken coop, the}:

skunk, muskrat, weasel and other
fur-bearing animals classed a8

‘varmints’ and considered’ ‘a
nuisance to the crops, all have
their intrinsic value, and it would
be well for many to. forget the

{nuisance end of the story and

look at the profit side...

The money picked up by..the
wise farmer -boy in @ season, to
say nothing of the professional
trapper revenue, is something
that would make a great: many
people sit up and take notice.
Just a few years ago it was hard-
ly. worth while to skin these ani-
mals and ship the fur; but since
the supply of nearly every fur-
bearing animal, with the possible
exception of the skunk, has de-

‘| creased at an alarming rate with-

in the last few years, the prices

buve gone up accordingly, until

now it isa mighty profitable ‘oc-

‘|cupation during the winter. ‘Fif-
jiteen years ago, seventy-five cents

was good value for a.skunk, one

, dollar was considered a high quo-
tation for a mink’ and ‘ten: to fif-

o teen cents was all anyone expect-
im jed for a muskrat: Compare these

“As most everyone knows, the

bearers all summer, to dig them
out of their dens when they are
breeding and in every way -pos-.

ers completely in his locality. Of
course no good can come out .of
this:practice; and he might just
as well wait until the furis prime
as to kill the animals in the sum-
mer when their furs are almost
worthless.

One peculiarity of the’ Ameri.
can raw fur collection of last sea-
son is the fact that over three

‘million rats, as well as thousands

of mink, skunk and other. fur
bearing animals, were taken from
the central states, namely, Il}in-
ois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minne-
sota, Iowa, ete. This will dispel
all thought.from the minds of
those who imagine that there is
no fur left.in the thickly. popula-
‘ted ‘states, and. it-is also.a fact
that the. fur collected from these
states was the best. and. most
satisfactory.
