Another Box Trap.
This trap, as well as all the box-traps in this chapter, are recommended for catching such animals as skunk, coon, mink, and opossum, alive and uninjured, for stocking "fur-farms."
Muskrat can be caught in these traps by baiting and setting where they feed, or on runways from one pond to another.
Animals caught in these traps can be carried with safety to both catcher and animal, to the enclosure, before taking out of the trap.
CHAPTER V.
FOX RAISING.
The foxes of North America are divided by naturalists into only three distinct groups or species, namely, the red, the gray and the Arctic foxes. Of these, the red species is divided into a number of varieties, among which are the Nova Scotia Red Fox, the Newfoundland Red Fox and the Western Kit or Swift Fox, etc.
