The glory of the bull frog era in Jasper county has departed, but the fragrant muskrat is still with us and they are now ripe for the harvest, and are being gathered in, in numbers never before equalled. The numbers that are now being caught in the Haddock’s mill-pond region, equals in magnitude, for the natural numbers of the critter, the former great cotton-tail and bull-frog harvests in “Hurleytown,” which moved John Casey, poet-laureate of NubbmRidge, to the production of his immortal poems. Gifford’s big ditches have left the muskrats, “mushrats” in the popular vernacular, high and dry over a large scope of country and they have taken up their abodes along the banks of the new ditches in great numbers, and there they are trapped, clubbed, speared or dogged to death, by the wagon load. As many aS 80 in one day for one man, have been reported. B. S. Fendig, the Rensselaer fur dealer, has already bought about 2500 “mushrats” hides this fall, and the season is ’hardly fairly begun. They are worth from 2 to 10 cents, according to “age, sex and previous condition.” Mink skins are worth from 10 cents to sl. Coons, 10 to 80 cents. ’Possums, 5 to 15 cents. Wolves, 25 to 80 cents. Skunks are this year the fashionable fur. A big skin with but little white, is worth 11.25. Otters are never brought into this market, although they are said to be sometimes caught in the Kankakee. They are worth fiom 14 to $lO.
